UNDER MARTIAL LAW. From 3 30 to
$50 p. m. Saturday Belfast was under
martial law, when at the public invita-
ton Of Mayor c. W. Wescott Company
F. Of the Third Maine Infantry, Capt. r.
L Hammons, took police control. It was
an excellent demonstration Of what eff
cient protection the city has, if the mock
rioting and assumed disre gard Of law and
order should ever become realities Very
promptly at the emergency whistle call
squads Of uniformed and armed men with
the dignity Of veterans emerged from the
, Armory 10 guard public buildings, fac
tories, banks, etc, to direct traffic and
keep law and order Large crowds par
ticularly of small boys, gathered to see
what martha, law meant and many of
them found out u their momentary
embarrassment. The street guards were
Z no respectors Of persons, as the most in
offensive were told to move on and they
moved. Strangers in town thought our
quiet little city had tried the Boston act
and was paving the penalty. The citizens
} committee, now working n conjunction
with the Company fer members and as
sociate members saw there was some
thing dong on the streets and did not
allow Lieut.. Basil r Allen at the Armory
many idle moments in hearing complaints
and passing out sentences. Among the
many arrested were City Marshal NJ R.
kno'Vton, policemen James Hill and
Bert Annis for disordeIly acts, the latter
police resisting several guards Walter
Lyons as Boshevist seemed the real
thing as he waved the red flag, shouting
Come on, don't let the red flag of free
dom drag in the mud" He was a sorry
looking man when he reached the Arm
DRY. Herbert H. Stevens was run in
several times for starting street fights,
assuming the guards, etc. Dr.. O. S.
Vickerg was caught N the act of send
ing a bomb to Capt. Hammons and was
arrested. James H, Ralph H. and Allan
NJ Howes with Winfield A. Mariner
were taken before Lieut.. Allen for slight
offences. Guard eight was called to look
for trouble il Arthur Ritchie's law office
c. E. Read tested the strength of several
armed men before he concluded to be ar
rested. Bernes .. Norton was up for auto
speeding and Ivan Havener for blocking
traffic. Among others arrested as sus-
Dcious characters were Charles Bradbury
and Thomas ". Lothrop The women
escaped arrests, but many of their con-
ferences were abruptly ended. The real
motive of the calling for martial law pro-
lection was apparent during it all, that
the public might have an object lesson OF
what Company F. really stands for in the
enforcement of law and order. The dem
onstration made the most needless and
Indifferent think soberly.
