The Springfield Reporter, a weekly

half a column OF last Thursdays edi-
ton in relating an incident in which
Joseph Lavery, a former Barre polish
err and deputy sheriff, was directly
concerned. Mr.. Lavery is an officer on
the Springfield police force, and il was
i'm the course of one of his beats that
his attention was drawn to the click
of the worries in nearby restaurant
II was after midnight on Thursday
morning that he watched a certain
young man being deprived Of much
of his spare cash in a crap game.
Finally the officer decided 10 take a
hand and entered the lunch room 20
make arrests. All the gamblers were
alleged TO be under the influence cf
liquor and Alphonse Sedar, the own
err. resented the intrusion. Aided by
his loyal wife and by one Of the gam
blers. he attacked Layery, who, finding
the effects Of his club inadequate to
the occasion, was forced to use his
revolver. Sedar was shot through the
hip. II was clean wound, the bull
let coming out a few inches from the
spine Mr. Lavery enlisted the aid
Of one or two more officers of the law
and lodged the entire group Of men in
Jail, excepting the Polack, who aided
Sadar, and who was, later successful
in an escape. All were fined with the
| exception OF Mrs. Sedar. who furnished
bail to appear when her husband was
discharged from the hospital. to which
he had been taken.
