trio, Patrolmen Miller, Johnson and
Sinick, is that Capt. boron ordered
the gangplank pulled In and his YES

they could walk ashore. AS unwill-
ing passengers they were carried TO
Bristol, where. their authority hav-
ing ended. they were compelled to
see their quarry crawl from a coal
mole, smile tantalizingly and walk
ashore at liberty.
The policemen were summoned TO
stfbdue disturbance on North High
street when a toozled Pennsylvania
playfully tossed a brick through the
glass door of the Hope fire com
panys house. THE policemen pur-
sued the man 10 and aboard the
ferryboat Surrounded by cronies he
managed 10 slip into a coal bunker.
While the policemen were trying to
get him out Capt. Doron, who is said
to be sometimes very punctual about
ais schedules, rang The starting bell.
The coppers yelled to hold the boat,
but the captain signaled full ahead
and away went the Doron.
