Free for All Fight Stopped by
Deputy Sheriff at West
End of Bridge, Cause
SALEM POLICE BLAMED
Claim Officers Here Told tho Gang to
Go Across the River if They
Wanted to Scrap.
SALEM POLICE BLAMED

With the peaceful citizens Of West
Salem up in arms, officers of both that
place and Salem frantically seeking
some ten persons on criminal charges
and certain police officers now open to
criticism which will raise particular
Ned, storm is brewing of pretty large
dimensions as the result of gener.
al battle which took place last Satur.
day afternoon at the west end of the
Willamette river steel bridge.
To be the recipients of what they
claim to the scum from the Capital City
in the way Of hoodlums, and to bear
the indignity Of being compelled to ex.
ert their efforts to the utmost to pre-.
vent bloodshed as the result of Salem
policemen ordering all persons with an
inclination to engage in free.for.all
fight out of this county and into Polk
by the nearest route, is criminal in Sa
lem officers, declare the West Side
citizens.
Cause of the Trouble
Engaging in controversy over some
trifling affair in local saloon, eight
or ten young men, all Of questionable
character according to the Salem po.
| lice, extended their arguments into
what would have been fight in the
alley behind the Lawrence store had it
not been for the interference of Day
/ Officer White. A crowd Of fifty or
more congregatcd to witness the prom
ised combat, but Officer White advised
them to start nothing Of the kind in
Salem and if they wanted to fight, to
go across the river.
Determined to pummel each other,
the men repaired to the west end of tho
willamette bridge and the fight com,
menced. Five Of the men in the party
began fighting all at once when George
Gosser, deputy sheriff Of Polk county,
intervened, He pulled the men apart
and partly restored order when he was
advised that Noel Reed, fellow with
n shady history in police circles both in
Marion and Polk counties, drew re-
vOlver upon John Sumner. Mr.. Gosser
approached Reed and the latter whisk-
ed his hand to his back pocket and
warned the officer to keep away. Cos
ser made Reed throw his hands, how
ever and searched him. He found no
gun, but afterwards learned that Reed
slipped the weapon to his brother Tom
Reed who was holding it in his hand
when searched by Gosser.
Noel Reed was convicted by jury in
Marion county circuit court of assault
ing a man in Salem. His conviction
took place on March 27, 1911, and on
April s, 1911, the convicting Jury rec
commended leniency to tho court and
Reed was given $50 fine and tho
court, after remitting this fine, sus-
pended sentence during good behavior.
Records at the police station show that
this man has been arrested twice on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
Notwithstanding Reed is a man with
n police record, he was released on his
own rocogni2ance by Justice Of tho
Peace Webster this morning when he
was brought before him on the charge
Of larccnw Of a revolver from local
lodging house.

calmly over The corpse of one murdered
precedent, proceeded to slaughter an
other. He stepped out in the corridor
and told the Newspaper boys the result
of the meeting. No profund mystery
here. No absurd make believe that the
eternal destinieS of men and nations de
pended on keeping some really common
place matter of business from the PEG
pie. For after all. it was commonplace
enough. Just a simple business confer.
ence on a question that happens to be Of
great public interest at the time. just
