Revolver Duel
Overt Crap Game

After a midwest revolver duel over
a game of crap today thirteen negro
stri~kebreakeers who have been
housed by the Newark Paving Com
pany at 131 First street were arrested
by reserves from the Fifth precinct.
Patrolman George Thompson, OF the
park police, was asleep in his home,
across the street, when he was awak-
ened by the shots. He heard three
of them as he reached for, his night
stick and revolver and ran to the
street.
Two more shots rang out. Rapping
for assistance, Thompson rushed to
the house and burst in the door. Pa
trolman Fletcher and Sergeant Ruhl,
of the Fifth, were next on the scene
Then anne the reserves.
James Johnson. one of the negroes
imported from Baltimore, had won,
according to his own story, $25 at
crap.
Il was a-going to light out" he ex-
planned, when Jimmie Allen reached
over and grabbed my gun. He showed
it in my face and yelled: 'Yo're a
dead niger If you don't come across
with that wad!'"
Johnson had the wad well hidden.
He could not disentangle it fast
enough to prevent the riot that fol
lowed. No one was hit in the shoot
ing.

CHA|N-EAT|NG DOG NO
MATCH FOR DOG MAN

"Tommie Dutton," professional dog
man." as he styles himself, started
out yesterday to make a clean-out Of
all the stray dogs in Summit. He
has just finished a six weeks round
up in Nutley, Kearny, Arlington, Irv-
ington and Maplewood and he de-
clares that stray dogs will be mighty
scarce up in Summit when he gets
through his work there.
In the past six weeks the canine
"~kidnapper" has taken no less than
290 dogs from the streets of the five
towns above mentioned and he has
had some lively experiences.
"One little fellow nipped me here
while / was trying to drag him out
from under a stoop,' said the dog
catcher, showing his left hand, which
bore a scar. Then. there was d
fierce big bulldog" he continued,
(which bit the finger off a woman's
hand In %Irvington. We put two
chains on him, so he wouldn't get
away from us, and he bit one OF them
In half, at that. The same dog had
bitten a child Only a few days before
we got on the job"
Dutton Is as proud of his profession
as a doctor, lawyer or minister Is Of
his respective calling, but his main
trouble Is In getting someone else who
feels the same way about 1t. When
he left his home at 16 East Mechanic
street this morning, Frank Smith and
Mike O'Brien were on the wagon
with him. Neither seemed particularly
fond of the assistant dogcatcher job,
and Dutton offered this explanation
They've both been 'nipped. he
said, land they have lost their nerve.
l don't mind II any more: besides, I
like dogs and / had rather dispose of
them %painlessly than to see them
abused.
"Oh, yes, we have enemies he re-
piled to a question. Il had a woman
chase me with a carving-knife for
getting her dog, but l got him, just
the same
Dutton goes into a town only when
invited to do so by the Council. He
Is then sworn in as a special police
man, and he makes 1t a point to catch
all dogs that r not muzzled,
whether they have a license or not.
The Council pays him 81 for each dog
caught.
Every dog ! get that is not claimed
by the owner is put to death in a hui
name way" declared Dutton.
