There was excitement in the vicinity of Carbon and Washington streetß last evening, and Officer Patrick Welsh had a narrow escape from being a victim of the wrath of a crowd of disorderly Huns who were making night hideous with their brawls. On account of the electric light not being lighted Burgess McLaugh lin took special precautions to prevent trouble in every part of town, and the police force patrolled the streets as soon as darkness came. Shortly after 8 o'clock Officer Welsh was walking along Carbon street and when near Washing ton be caine upon a large crowd, and two of them were pummeiing each other in royal style. The darkness was intense, but the officer pushed through the mob and arrested the fellow who appeared to be the cause of the fight. He started with his prisoner up Wash ington street in the direction of the lock up, and had gone about twenty yards before the crowd realized that their fun was interrupted. With a cry of venge ance they started after him, and guided by the bowls of the prisoner they soon caught up to Welsh. Three of them threw themselves upon the officer, who went down but took the prisoner with him. Welsh got on his feet again and started on a run with his charge, but he went only a short distance when a shower of stones came upon him. One of the rocks struck him in the back, knocking him almost senseless. In falling his knee struck a stone on the ground, inflicting a painful injury. The crowd then rushed upon him before he could rise. After receiving several kicks from the infuriated Huns the prisoner broke from the officer's grasp and made his escape. Welsh's assailants were now in a mood to finish up their work by killing him, and believing that to be their intention he drew his revolver. | Three shots struck terror to their hearts, ' i and the crowd scattered in all directions, ! ; Welsh then started up Washington i 1 street to secure help. Chief of Police Gallagher and Officers ; ' Dauiel Gallagher and Jones were on i' Centre street at the time of the trouble. Hearing the shots they rail to Carbon and Washington streets where the Huns had collected again. No one could give them any information about the shoot ing, and as they could not see any disor der there they allowed the crowd to de part in the direction of Highland. Af ter searching around the neighborhood awhile some of the English-speaking residents informed them that the Huns who had just left were implicated in the trouble. The officers went after them and caught eight at Adams and Carbon i streets. A few escaped in the darkness and the men arrested were marched to , the lockup. Some of the prisoners, when searched, were found to haye large rocks in their pockets, and these were produced as evidence when Burgess Mc- i Laughlin gave the crowd a hearing at 11 I o'clock. Andro Dovho, charged with interfer ence, was fined $7.50; Jake Danlco, in terference and carrying concealed wea pons. $7.50; Steve Gasch, interference, $0.25; Carl Carki, interference, $025; Joe Carki, Charles Baker and Frank Renau, charged with fighting, 85 each. Mike Bardona was discharged for lack of evidence, and as none of the others would pay, they were committed for five days. The prisoners are all from High land, where they work on the stripping, , PERSONALITIES. Ed. F. Hanlon, national organizer of the C. T. A. U., attended to business at Sugar Notch on Friday evening.
