NetghborS Aid State Policeman
 Several neighbors rushed to his rescue, while a call was sent for more police. Constables Fred Cal len, E. W. Furrey. and Andrew Ho- gan rushed to the battlefield. Bar aglia put up q terrific battle and had to be given clubbing before the officers could put on the hand cuffs, after which he was taken to the doctors office to be dressed. Roy, also bleeding from wounds on the ear and arm, was captured on he ground. The three other mon foded into the crowd at the sight ot t-.e police endorsements and long g. arch ensued.
 Pursuit After FugitiyeS
 Farley was seen afoot near Bios som's corner and was chased by Callen and State Officer Watrous, who caught him and took him to the fail. Dunbar and the fifth man all most made good their escape catch ing a trolley bound for New Britain. Mller, Furrey and Justice William Cunningham pursued in an automo- bile and stopped the car at Andrews crossing in Barnesdale. As Miller went through the front door the two fugitives dove out the rear windows and raced through the swamp. Mil Ter fired four times at them and Dunbar stopped, but the other reached the highway and obtained a lift from a passing motorist,
 iypodermic Given Prisoner
 Baraglia, crazy with drunk and pain three times tore off the bandages ap- piled to his head by the doctors. Finally it was necessary for Dr. Frost to enter his cell, throw him to The floor, and inject hypodermic. Baraglia succumbed to this and was bandaged short time later. Con- stables Thomas Royce and Philip Marine aided in jailing the men.
 Detective Thomas J. FHeney of New Britain was brought to Plain- vile and recognized the prisoners, advising them to give their correct names. which they did. BaragliG was later released under bonds of S20O for appearance in court We'd ncsday evening All four will be charged with breach of the peace, intoXication. and resisting an officer.

Vernon road, | Bristol. and another whose name was not taken. were quite evidently drunk, the police say although they denied having liquor. Calen pro- duced a half-empty liquor bottle from under the seat, and Rice was arrested on charges of driving with ! out a registration and having im- !. proper markers.
 Further distraction from the chase | came about 10 o'clock when Callen | was notified that a pair of intoxi- 1 cated men were holding up traffic on New Britain avenue.

markets today showed a break Of
so cents under the seasons high

With continued bearish news from
abroad local dealers are expecting
further recessions in Chicago prices.
However, the decline in cash wheat
prices is looked upon as the most
depressing feature in the present
market situation.
