two men and proceeded to walk out.
Fitz, with the club still in his hands,
made for Orgish and as he got up be-
hind him he raised the club to strike
the officer. Chase noticed him from
the other side of the room and yelled
to Orgish to look out. Orgish ducked

Tusler and Chase, and officer Delos
Reynolds and Arther Larsen. 1t was
getting on in the evening now but
the men were still rarin' to go. They
went down to Main street shortly
after midnight for visit which they
hoped would be more friendly than
the last at the domicile of Jack and
Mrs. Parquette, upstairs from 162
| Main street.
AS they walked up the stairs they
heard loud noises as of revelry. Mems
voices mingled with women's voices.
Before entering the rooms above the
police came to low window. Meiss-

chatting in other rooms. The follow

street, from the neighborhood which
the police had been receiving numer-
Gus complaints This was at 1880
o'clock Sunday morning. Upstairs
they found disorderly house getting
more and more disorderly. Men and
women were sprawled about in every
room, most of them drunk. The cop
pers noticed men standing outside
men who had probably had their fill
of whatever it was they got upstairs.
Detective Chase found E. r. Warb-

pocket. He was arrested together
with the following, all colored:

was charged with carrying concealed
weapons.
Other white men found in the place
were Peter Sticayeceus, Stanley Low

The place seemed to be popular
enough with visitors coming from as
far south as Evanston, and many from
Racine About twelve men got away

women was arrested when she came
out of one of the rooms dressed in a
kimona. Sergeant Meissner asked her
if anyone else was in that room. She
answered no. After a search of the

back into this room and found Will

shine under the mattress.
