gossip are the most striking. They
are possibly less harmful in influence

USES EMPTY GUN
 ID QUELL ATTACK
Deputy Sherih's Bluff Intimi- dates Quarrelsome Cobbler

Although no police action result cd, Main street narrowly missed a bit of gunplay Tuesday evening when Deputy Sheriff Matthew Pap ciak called at the cobbling estab- lishment of Fortunate Cianfone to serve paper in a civil action and was met by an irate and militant de- fendant.
 As told by Papcial today. the in cident has many sensational as poets. The sheriff had no sooner an- nounced the purpose of his visit than he was ordered out by Cian- Hone who, Papciak says, picked up a cobbler's hammer and started after the civil officer. Papciak, quick as flash. pulled a pistol from his pocket and levelled it at the shoemaker. Patrolmcn William Grabeck and Daniel Cosgrove were attracted by the call ot a passerby and they dashed in in time to disarm the shoemaker and to restore order, after which Papciak served the writ with the full dignity of the law.
 While Cianflone naturally drew back at the sight Of the gun, he might have advanced in perfect safety, for Papciak later revealed that there were no bullets in the re- Nolvcr.
