Amid the collins of an undertaking

Of policemen have set up headquarters.
From there they announced that they
were going to maintain order in Brook
field, whether the other Police Depart
ment approves of it or not. Meanwhile,
however, warrants were issued for the
arrest of Ferdinand, who was appointed
chief of police by J. F. Mansfield, pres
ident of the village, and for six of
Ferdinand's followers.
The complaints were made by John
T. O'Brien, village trustee, and alleged
that Ferdinand and his adherents were
going about the village "impersonating
officers and carrying concealed weap-
ons."
Mansfield was named as the winner
of the last village election, but his
opponents said the voting was irregu-
lar, on which grounds E. j. O'Connor,
head of Brookfield's second police
force, refused to give up his post or
allow Ferdinand and his force to oc-
cupy the police station. The States
attorneys Office seized the ballots of
tf last election and announced there
would be recount.
Mansfield and his force attempted
to take possession of the police station
last Sunday, but were frustrated by
O'Connor's men.
County highway police were on
guard yesterday to keep the two police
forces from getting into trouble. Each
side requested the citizens not to pay
any attention to efforts of the other
to make arrests.
