Parcnt-Teachcr Meeting.
 One policeman lost his vest and
 coat and another nearly lost his
 trousers last night, when two na-
 tives of Prince Edward Island Law
 renee and Walter McKierney, broth
 erss rampaged around the Far East
 restaurant on North Main street.
 Prior to the entry of Policemen
 James Keith and Joseph Ryan to
 the scene, the two men had nice
 party in the restaurant in which they succeeded in breaking furniture and in dislocating the arm of
 George Leewey, young son of Will liam Leewey. the proprietor.
 When news of the battle arrived at ' o'clock at the police station, Desk Officer Joseph Strup dispatch ed Officers Keith and Ryan, who were compelled to fight their way back to the station house as both men put up stiff argument in the rear of the restaurant, where they were found and until they were landed at the headquarters. Even then, both were Napoleons of Com- bat for that is where the disrobing of the limbs of the law began With out warning one of the belligerents tore Officer Keiths coat and vest off and when Supernumerary Officer Thomas Mccarthy assisted his fel- low officers in starting the belliger- ents to a cell, strong hold on his nice new trousers almost demolished them. The cloth was strong and thereby Mccarthy escaped the en- barassment by a thread.
 So uproarious were the McKier- ney brothers that the details of booking them had to be foregone until this morning. In the battle both men were used up pretty well and signs of combat were easily ap- parent at the converting of court.
 The cases were continuel until to- morrow so that further evidence may be secured in regard to the violations of the Volstead act, in- volving the men.
 According to the stories told this at the police court hearing. the trouble started. when the two men attempted to assault John Stecher, roomer at the Leewey home which is located near the Far East restaurant and when young Leewey remonstrated he was injur- ed. The call to the police infamed the fires of battle raging in the Nc Kierney breasts and Officers Keith and Ryan stepped into cyclone of fists when they arrived.
