FIGHT EARLY SUNDAY

1t was too much to ask the police to
deliver another still on Saturday night
such as they had brought in the night
before. But still the police were hank
erlng after big game, and when they
failed to get wind of more distilleries
to be captured, Assistant Chief Cyzak
Pln the early hours of Sunday morning
staged gambling raid. He assembled
five officers and together at 1926 a. m.
they all set forth. Besides the assist
ant chief there was Sergeant Melbush,
Detective Breidt and Officers O'Hare,
Wellman and Chase. The objective of
the raid was the familiar address of
80 North Main street.
Get the Money on the Table.
Lots Of people were asleep at the
time, but there were eight men who
were not, and the police caught them
IN the rear of the saloon at 33 North
Main. There these men, according to
the police, were playing "rhum" for
money. On gambling raids there is
always bit of exciting play to sec
who will get the money first, the Off
GERS or the men at the table. As the
police walked in. hands swept over the
table quickly, but the assistant chief
was just as quick and managed to cap
ture 81 of "das Geld' to serve as evil
Adence. The men were all brought to
the police station and booked on the
charge of gambling. They gave their
names as John Dregansewich, 81 South
Pleasant street; Peter Janko, 315 Or
ange street, John Polowski, 354 Grand
avenue; Frank Karostek, 81 South
Pleasant street; George Aschusets, ITO
Fremont avenue; Jacob -@Zegolta, 33
North Main street; William Strenke-
wicz, $40 Milwaukee avenue; William
BORROW, IS Rice avenue, and Victor
Segeant, $40 Milwaukee avenue. One
of the men at the place, William Stru-
ken, JENNIE and Brocket streets, was
brought to the station and booked on
the charge of intoxication. So far as
being gambler at the time, he has
perfect alibi, for the police say he
was dead to the world.
Fight Sunday Morning Too.
Just after Assistant Chief Cyzak had
gone off duty at $3.50 o'clock Sunday
morning and while Sergeant Kirsch
was in charge Of headquarters, there
came call for police help to III South
Rowland avenue. A woman's voice over
the telephone declared that help was
needed for the men were going. at it
strong. Officers O'Hare, Clifford, Han
son, Chase and Tusler were detailed to
answer the call.
When the police arrived, the fighters
separated in lightning speed and tried
to get away. The fight started in Tory
Paul's pool room, the police believe.
Tom Hogan of 800 Grand avenue, one
of the men on the scene, dashed off in
Ford car, trying to make his escape.
He was bagged, however, before he had
gone far. Another man, Walter Knob
locke, 481 Newell street, stood so little
upon ceremony in his desire to get a
ride in any other car than the police
wagon" stepped into an automobile
not his own and drove off with it.
He got away at the time, but Sunday
night he was arrested by Sergeant
Kirsch and Officer O'Hare and charged
with driving an automobile without the
owners consent. The car Knoblocke
took was one belonging to William
Penree, another man at the fight scene.
Others arrested were Jack Butling, 915
Market street; A. Fritz, 1867 Prairie
avenue; Harry Smith, 352 Exchange
street; Maurice Farrell and Free Hol-
lister, 535 West street.
