 Sunday evening Joseph Kurynoski. John Snarski and StanisIaw. Sinenko met Alex .OQofsky and John Washilef- sky at Harris' corner, Greens Farms. Words over a woman led to blows and in the mixup Kurynoskf drew a revol- yer and shot at Olofsxy, the bullet grazing the scalp inflicting. only. a slight wound. WashiIefsky was done up in a. bad way. Robbery was not the intent of the three though, seeing they rif1ed his pockets. Complaint was made to Prosecuting Attorney Sherwood Monday. and .Sherin, Meade was given the warrant. His search led him. into Norwalk into the Polish colony near the old fair grounds. With the aid. of Alex .Olofsky and Inter pretere August Brill from Bridgeport. sherin Meade located Kurynoski' s abode. He found his man fully dress ed but in bedss When. he bade the man arise and come with him. the people of the house and Others from neighbordng homes who had gathered, threatened harm to the sheriff and would not allow him to- take his pris- oner from the house. They doubted his authority even though after being shown stl1e warrant \ Realizing that he had a stiff proposition @. on his hands the sheriff sent Interpreter Brill with. his auto into Norwalk to bring back a police officer During Brili's absence, the sheriffk stood guard over his prisoner, while on three occasions, the small Kerosene lamp the only light in the room was blown out and which the sheriff was :compell- ed to relight. Brill returned with Pa trolman Silk. of the Norwalk force. The Polish folk noting the uniform of the police officer shrunk back and per mitted the sherin.s prisoner to be ta- ken from the house.
