Priest Conquers 3 Thugs;
Uses Fists Against Guns
Pastor Manhandles Invaders of Rectory and Leads
Street Chase That Results i'm the Capture of
Two; Third Prisoner Is Taken by Chance

The Rev. Father Nicholas Ridhose-
sky, pastor of the Ukrainian Greek
Catholic Church Of ST. George, at 20
East Seventh Street, demonstrated yes
terday afternoon that he is as mighty
in body as he is in prayer. Three men
were convinced by this demonstration,
all Of whom were locked up in Police
Headquarters last night, charged with
grand larceny.
On each Of the trio the reverend
father left his mark. He insists they
were Bolsheviki, against whom he has
launched maledictions from the pulpit
ever since the world first heard Of
Lenine and Trotzky. The prisoners
deny this holly, however. and won't
even admit they are robbers.
At any rate, it was wrath against
the soviets that steeled the arm of
Father Ridhosesky yesterday after
noon, when the three set upon him with
guns and knives in the parlor of his
rectory, adjoining the church. Four
men came in and asked to see him, say
ing one of their number wanted to- be
married.
Priest Faces Three Guns
The priest talked with the alleged
prospective bridegroom. who then Of
fered him $500 bill, saying he would
like to make things certain by paying
the fee ahead of time.
AS Father Ridhosesky opened the
door Of the little safe that stands in
one corner Of the room, one of the
men stole into the hall, apparently as
lookout. The priest Strengthened up
to look into three ugly guns and three
scarcely more prepossessing faces.
"Up with your hands," one of the
trio ordered.
Now, st. George was no SLOUGH as
fighter and the Rev. Father Ridhosesky
is his priest.
He came up with his hands, the right
under the jaw Of the nearest robber,
the left into the stomach of another.
sending them both Keeling against the
third.
Before they could recover their bal
ance, Father Ridhosesky was upon
them. The priest is six feet tall, with
chest like barrel and arms that
might have swung the sword Of St.
George himself.
Assailants Cry for Mercy
He smote the alleged Bolsheviki
even more violently than did the Poles
before their recent reversal of form.
Words never before heard in the quiet
OF the-rectory resounded through the
room, mingled with bumps and thumps
innumerable, as the men tried to pull
the priest down and were taught over
and over again that they couldn't.
Several times Father Ridhosesky had
two of mis- assailants crying for mercy,
but he did experience some difficulty in
getting all three of them to surrender
at once. His cassock was torn and he
was suffering considerably, but no.

had the idea that they could whip a

Bedtime Stories
Old Man Coyotes Second Surprise
BY Thornton W. Burgess
To be Is mistake
The sm.ortest folks sometimes make.
Old Man Couot.
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Old Man Coyote trotted along
through the Green Forest so upset by
his failure to catch Peter Rabbit after
waiting for him nearly all night that
he didn't keep as sharp. a watch as
usual, with the result that he missed
chance to catch Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse, and few minutes later went
right past Mrs. Grouse without seeing
her until, with roar of her stout
wings, she was in the air and safe.
These things didn't Improve his tenn
per. He was hungry and disappointed
There was just one thing that con-
soled Old Man Coyote. He was sure
that no one knew or ever would know
how Peter Rabbit had fooled him by
his unexpected dive into Jerry Musk
rats house under his very nose. Since
he Was sure that Peter hadn't come
out and that Jerry Muskrat had been
there after Peter entered, he was GER
tain that Jerry had put an end to
Peter. He didn't see how it could
possibly be otherwise.
By the time Old Man Coyote reached
the Green Meadows the Jolly Little
Sunbeams were kissing the flowers
awake. Old Man Coyote hurried. He
ought to have been home in the Old
Pasture before this. He didn't feel
- so SOAAAAVA t<SOAC VuV III LIS open In
broad daylight. But though he was in
. hurry he went just enough out of
his way to take him close to the dear
Old Briar-patch. You see, he was
hungry and the crafty old sinner
thought he might be able to surprise
little Mrs Peter Rabbit or one Of her
babies outside the dear Old Briar-
patch.
But again he was disappointed. His
nose told him that Mrs. Peter had
been outside the dear Old Briar-patch
~ lar NJ a certain patch Of sweet
clover some time during the night, but
she Was nowhere to be seen and he
knew that she was safe at home among
tho brambles. He was preparing to
hurry ON, when sudden thought
popped into his head. He turned and
trOtted to the very edge of the dear
Old Briar-patch. he peered in among
the bushes and brambles, but they
were too thick for him to see any one.
~Mrs. Peteri Oh. Mrs. Peterl" he
called and cooked his head to one side,
willie he listened for an answer. But
there WAS no answer. He hadn't really
expected one.
Mrs. Peter" he called again after
. momcnSs "I'ye brought you some sad
news. Peter will never come home

priest of St. George in his own rectory.
At length one Of the three broke
free from the struggle, staggered back
against the wall and drew an auto
matte pistol. He fired, after taking
careful aim.
Now it may be that his arm was
shaking from overexertion, or it may
be, as Father Ridhosesky says, that
George, Slayer Of Dragons, reached out
his hand.
There was wild howl following the
crack Of the gun. The robber had shot
one of his accomp1ices in the shoulder.
Thereby he gave the reverend father
just the handicap he wanted.
Two Captured in Chase
Persons passing the rectory min
ute or so later stopped to stare. The
door burst open and strange process
semblance of order whatever, but q lot
Of speed.
Three bruised, scratched and battered
laymen came first, casting frightened
glances over their shoulders as they
ran. Behind pulled stalwart priest,
his cassock in ribbons, his face marked,
but with the light Of victory and VEN
geance in his eye.
Others took up the chase Of the flying
trio. One ran to Second Avenue and
then down Sixth Street, followed by q
party Of pursuers. In the cellar Of 217
Sixth Street Charles Brodsky captured
der, who said he was John Savitsky, Of
Is South Street.
In Fifth Street another man was
taken. He said he was Anthony Was
lok, of 218 East Twenty eighth Street
The two were locked up temporarily in
the Fifth Street station, where they
were identified by the priest.
When the police searched the pair
they say they found each armed In
the lining of Wiaslok's straw hat they
discovered two small steel saws. They
charge that the man explained he in
tended to use them to saw his way out
Of Jail.
Third Taken by Chance
Chance or St. George or whoever 1t
was that decided yesterdays tide of
battle had not vet finished. A little
later another Greek Catholic priest
came running into the Fifth Street
station and demanded that detective
go with him at once to Avenue A.
where, ho said, he had just passed a
man who had robbed him on June
at Singac, N. J.
:. The priest said he was the Rev. N.
s. Captain, Of the Greek Catholic
Church at Little Falls, N. j, He also
said that the man he had Just seen had
robbed him of $50 in cash, a gold watch
and chain and a gold cross. Accom-
panied by detective, he FASTENED
back to Avenue A, and there pointed
out for arrest Samuel Dero. of 68
Avenue A. When Dero was arrested he
was wearing a watch Father Captain
identified as his.
Back in the police station Father
Ridhosesky also identified Dero as
one of his recent assailants and then
returned to his rectory, bruised, stiff
but triumphant, there to sleep the
happy sleep of those over whose
dreams the warrior saint mounts guard

Good morning!
This is July 14!,
The weather today will
probably be cloudy.
France, Our
Sister Republic,

celebrates the Fourth of July
twice.
Ten days ago she kept the
American flag flying in SYM
pathy with her thousands of
friends in the United States.
Today, the fourteenth of July,
we take notice of our comrades
and friends in France, keeping
the anniversary of the Fall c(
the Bastile, from which dates
the beginning of the liberty of
France.
Shoulder to shoulder we stand
in the glorious liberty that has
come to each of our nations, just
as we stood two years ago side
by side in the trenches on the
Western front when France was
in jeopardy.
Let us continue to keep these
two Independence Days of July.
None of us can forget .Lafay-
cite and Rochambeau, and
France will never forget Per-
shing and his men.
The United States and France
stand together in triumphant en-
deavor to enshrine the eternal
principles akin to- the Star
Spangled Banner in the hearts of
the people. Both are brilliant
and mighty and tremendously
inspiring, each delighting in the
others genius and energy to in
still in the hearts of the people
a new patriotism that will make
the world better place to
live in.
May our warm friendship
never grow cold and the glory
OF our flag never fade!
