TOO BoIsTERoUs CELEBRATION.
Boys Aggravated Visitor Who Is Now
Charged with Assault.

A. Tomasi of Merchant street, confined
TO his home with a supposed knit,
wound in his side; Elector Blair is al
the City hospital suffering from injuries
about the face; and Richard Harvey q
burly subject of His Majesty George V.
was detained at police headquarters, and
about this time Wilbur Wilson, an ell.
derby farmland, is nearing the spot
where he may gaze once more on the
spires of Marshfeld, his home town
Wilson is under bonds for an alleged
assault on young Tomasi. Around the
Fourth, four alleged intoxication respon-
dents figured in municipal court pro-
ceedings. All things considered, there
was a plenty doing for the police in
the purview and in the aftermath of
Independence day. although the day it.
self was as quiet as a Sabbath in Lab
rador.
Young America in devil-may- care
mood made things hot for Mr.. Wilson in
the gray dawn of July 4. Wilson left
his temporary abiding place in Colches-
ter on a late Friday night train and
landed in the local station around ?
o'clock the following morning. A broad
trimmed straw hat of type popular
among haymakers, an extension yalise
and general air of nonchalance were
among the things that marked the man
as a target for crowd of some 80 boys
who had gathered in Depot square. Os-
tensibly bound for his home in Marsh
| field, Wilson showed little of disposi-
| tion to join with the boys in celebrating
the Fourth; much less did he relish the
idea of furnishing fun for the merry
makers. But the boys were bound to
have their way, and when the practice
of popping firecrackers in his coat pocl-
ct and tripping him with long sticks
became too monotonous, the man with
the sweeping hat is alleged to have re-
sorted to tactics of different nature.
The other part of Mr. Wilson's story
was told in court this morning, when
he pleaded not guilty to a charge of
assaulting one John Tomasi TO the
officers Wilson identified a large pocket
knife as his own, although he said he
couldn't remember using ii. Special Of
ficer William Speare, who took the man
in custody, said he did it as a matter
of protection, as rapidly growing mob |
of men and boys had taken the trail of |

alleged stabbing. Ii was some time |
after the crowd at the police station |
door dispersed that A. Tomasi, father |
of the injured boy, called police head |
quarters and inquired about the lads
alleged assailant. In telling his story
to the police, Wilson neglected to relate
the alleged stabbing incident, and he had
been gone some time from the station,
when Chief Sinclair, learning the sup
posed circumstances, overlook him on
the high road to Plainfeld
This morning Wilson entered plea
Of not guilty to an assault charge. On
the representations of Grand Juror Will
liam Wishart, the man was allowed to
90 on his own recognizance, with provi- .
sions for forfeiting S. bail if he does
