RAWLINGS vs. ARMSTRONG.
Fighting Dutcllnnan Is No Match for
 Police Chief.


 Self-confessed original fighting Dutchman of New York city" Will liam H. Armstrong yielded to the strong ar6umentative powers of Po- lice Chief William J. Rawlings near Walsh's Main street restaurant this afternoon and now occupies q cell at headquarters preparatory to review of his conduct in police court tomor- row morning. The accused claimed he was on his way from New York to Waterbury, lost his way and had attempted to redeem the extra ex- pense through salo of articles or giv- ing of aims.
 Those who did not respond to his desires, according to police informa- ton, were subjected to much abuse. Among them was Chief Rawlings, in plain clothes. Action was immediate. Armstrong is reported to have de- clared himself. It did no good, Chief Rawlings showed the prowess of his youth in dealing with 'bad men." ]" With the aid of Chauffeur Matthias Rival of the patrol, summoned by merchants of that section, Armstrong did a chute-the-chute into the patrol wagon. Because of his one-leggetl condition, Chief Rawlings and local authorities have been charitable, only anixing . charge of intoxication and forgetting the charge of resistance.
