POLICE USE LASSO TO
YANK MAN FROM CANAL

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Aug. r.
With the deXterity of skifull cow
boys, Policemen Herring and Bren-
nan yesterday lassoed and dragged
from the Shiny shallow water of the
Morris Canal a pugnacious and de-
fiant prisoner. Charles Sibo, butcher,
of 667 Grand street. Sibo attacked
Grand street and Communipaw ave-
nue. just as day was breaking.
Herring FASTENED to end the mill,
and as he parted the combatants Sibo
darted off to the bridge, a few yards
away, and jumped into the canal.
Come out" commanded Herring,
but Sibo refused. Even the threat of
the policeman to use his pistol did not
feaZe the butcher. The signal box
was nigh, and Herring phoned for a
rope.
He guarded Sibo, who began to
wade slowly up the canal, until the
hurryup wagon arrived with Brennan
and the lasso. Sibo lodged the moose
several times by ducking under the
filthy water BY ruse they induced
him to duck by threatening to throw
the lasso, and as his head appeared
they adroitly cast the moose ana
yanked him.
He was pulled ashore, but he fought
tenaciously, and it was necessary to
use the night sticks to subdue him.
He was sent to the City Hospital for
repairs and to be dried out, and later
was lodged in cell.

HIGHWAYMEN SHOT BY COP
FLEE FROM HOSPITAL
Especial 10 the Newark start

JERSEY CITY. N. j., Aug. r.
That attendants at the Jersey City
Hospital allowed the escape Friday
of two wounded highwaymen after
they had been warned to detain thom
has been charged by the police. The
charge is denied at the hospital, it
being said that two messages were
sent to police headquarters.
The wounded men were shot by
Patrolman Walton after they han
stretched a rope across the Paterson
Plank road at Congress street and
had held up several drivers. One
bandit had wound in his hand and
the other Ind been shot in the arm.
Both, it is said, applied for treatment
at the City Hospital.
When the holdup was reported to
the police an alarm and description
was sent to hospitals here and in
New York. John Farrelly, an orderly
at the hospital, declared two men
came in and that he notified police
headquarters. He was switched, he
says, to the Sixth Precinct wire. He
sent another call, he AYERS, and was
told to detain the men, but when the
police arrived they had left.
The police declare they only re-
ceived but one call. and that too late
for them to catch the men.
