est Sports of all
Descriptions.
’er before in the history of the Dan-
.r has such law-breaking and cor—
rcigned as that which has charac-
the big show this week. The fair,
esterday, had been all the week a
ed of illicit liquor selling, vice, de-
lizing and indecent shows. and
ling and gambling games. Through
ability or unwillingness of the Dan-
. policeto put a stop to this“ evil, the
co nty authorities yesterday took a hand
in the game. and paralyzed the several
thousand sightseers by wholesale raids
and arrests. which left the tented city a
dryplace for the remainder of the day.
Top proprietors and bartenders of illicit
liquor phhies were taken into custody and
the liquor in nine different places.
amounting in all to several cartloads.
was seized and taken away to be destroy-
.ed.
The condition of affairs became so noto-
rious by the middle of the week that many
complaints were made to the County Coma
mlssioners. Most of the complaints spoke
. in bitter terms of the local police, who
were tacitly accused of being not unwill-
ing partners to the law-breaking. it being
intimated that their silence was purchas-
ed. Atttorney E. 0. Hall, of Chamber—
lain & Hull. the prosecuting liquor agent
for Danbury. went to the fair and saw
enough to convince him that the charges
were not unfounded. He at once made a
formal complaint to the County Commis-
sioners. who resolved upon a wholesale
raid. Yesterday afternoon was the time
set. and so quietly was the aflair man-
aged that the law-breakers got no hint of
what was impending, and were all caught
in the trap.
The Danbury police were left entirely
out of the matter. They were not be-
lieved to be sufficiently trusty even to be
informed of what was to happen. and
were as much surprised as anyone when
the arrests Were made.
The Bridgeport Morning Union tells the
story of the raid and the conditions which
prevail on the fair ground. They are
borne out in every particular by Nor-
walk people who have attended the big

The raiding force was composed of
De ut Sheriffs Hull of Monroe. liawiey

DanburyJ‘itziloy of Greenwich. Plumb
of Trumbull. and Powers of Itulgelield.
Eachdeputy hadau assistant. Mr. Hall
was also one of the party. and Justice M.
E. O‘Brien. of Bridgeport. went along to
preside over the ('lls‘crl of those whose nn~
conscious fate it was to be captured. The
raid was carefully planned and was carri-
ed through without a hitch. Two men
were posted in front of each suspected
tent long enough before hand to make
sure there would be no mistake. and at
exactly 22]!) all of the nine plat-rs were
' simultaneously entered by the oliiccrs.
The surprised offenders made no resis~
tunes and all wore at once taken into on»

er. Fred Beardsley. Michael Wickilcld.

ritt. owning and others were not present
in their places at the time of the raid. but
more warrants have been issued. and it
is understood that any of the men can be
captured at any time when they may he
wanted.
The arrested men were marched to the
once of Police Captain Alexander. which
full for the time being was converted into a
'court room. The place was fullof loun-
lrll zero and the first thing Justice (,‘l'ilrlon
w»! ld when he assumed char o of the room
was to order it cleared. ' is was at once
done by Capt. Alexander. and the pro-
ceedings commenced.
The prisoners evidently were of the
opinion that they had some country

clamor that could be heard on the

Danbury has never had a particularly
lustrous reputation for morality, but
never has she been so disgraced as by the
doinga at this year’s fair. It is a matter
of regret that the County Commissioners
have no power to arrest others than viola-
tors of the liquor law. and that far
worse nuisances than the shady saloons
will probably remain unmoiested for the
balance of the week unless the police
officials. in the two days that remain.
can be goaded into some decent relian-
tlon of their duty. which at present seems
to be an unlikely contingency. , .
The town is a ivc with prostitutes from
all over the state. who ply their nefarious
calling on the very fair grounds. In their
train have followedlfaklrs. film-hammers.
tbimble—riggerr. badger game workers.
and crooks. gamblers. swindlers and dis
honest sports of all descriptions. The side-
shows that are not flagrantly immoral
are, with only a few exceptions, barefaced
swindles. Of course there are a few en-
tertainments that are neither indecent
nor dishonest. but there are only a very
few. and their proprietors wear a mourn-
fnl look as if they were consciously out
of their element.
The lilies do joie are as brazen a lot as
were ever collected in the state.and many
of them occupy tents on the grounds.
Many of them openly engaged in the pans
e1 game, or as close an imitation of it as
possible in a tent. A specific instance of
this game that was played without a sem-
blance of redress from the police, will be
spoken of later on. ,
Many of the shows a peal to the erotic
instincts of visitors from the country.
without. howaver, giving an adequate
returns in that direction. .ar e signs
over the doors announce that a mission
is "For Men Only." There is nothing in-
side, however. that would shock a wo-
man, nothing at. all in fact. The sign is
used in a Bowery sense. One of these
signs was in front of a tent in which liv-
ing pictures were announced to be pre—
sented. Inside the only picture was a
man dressed [as a ballet dancer. He
wasn't much of a dancer. and the only
reason the crowd kept their hands off him
was the ease with which be swung a
heavy anvil about his head. He was a
pretty big man. and the swindled specter
tors let him alone.
Other shows. however. were as indecent
as they well could be. and it wasn’t fear
of the authorities that kept them from
being worse than they ware. They Were
about the limit. of human ability in that
direction. "I‘here were three conchee-
couches dances in full blast. The couches-
couchee is new in Danbnry. and it is being
received rapturousiy. it is bein iveu
in a style that would have lanl er the
dancers behind the bars at Com-y Island
or Chicago. or in any place on top of the
earth. beyond a doubt. It is the vilest of
known dances, and in llanbury they omit
no opportunity to make it viler than it
was designed to be.
At least one man fell a victim to the
time-worn panel game. lie was more or
less intoxicated and readily accompanied
one of the sirens of the fair to her tent.
His clothes were thrown near the wall of
the tent. and were easily rifled of $150 by
acoufederate outside. lie complained to
the police. but his money was not recovu-
cd nor wore any arrests made. Then he
did some detective work on his own ac-
count aud succeeded in terrifying the
woman and her confederate into n restitu-
tion. ’I‘hcy paid up in full. under threat
of personal violence.
Wheels of fortune and the triple arrows
are run openly with no attempt at con-
cealment. Three card montc gentry are
as thick as huckleberries. and in fact any-
body can lind his pet form of gambling
with only a little search. While he is
playing it. he would do well to keep his
wcnthcr—eyc open to son that his poc ct. is
not picked or his stud abstracted. Cane
ringing and throwing base balls at the
African dodger are thi- leastobjectionable
forms of the amusements at the fair.
As has been stated abone. it has been a
patent and notorious fact to every wit.
nesslhat the law has been disregarded
openly in many various ways. if there is
no worse constriction put upon their
actions at an investigation later. the Dan-
bury police are at least the most. wooden
lot of dummies ever put into a not of blue
uniforms. it was a fortunate thing for
the Bridge mrl policcnn-n that they were
not allowm by the commissioners to do
duty bytho fair when they “we request-
to at the fair's management. lining sub-
{ect to the orders of others. they \voubl
law-been unable to correct. the abuses.
and would naturally havu come in for a
share of the obloquy.
’l'ilc llccont citizens of llanbtlry are
aroused to tho disgrace that has come ov.
or the wwn.and it is hoped that there will
be an inqury to determine whether it was
incapacity or worse on the part of the
mllcl-tllnt permitted license to run riot.
thnthings get so bad that county of-
ficials have to interfere over lilo heads of
the local police. no one will believe re int
able llanburinm hasty if they dcnmml an
investigation.
Asstatrd above. the County i‘omrnis-
sinners how no authority to regulate ally
of the other abuses. and it is expected
that they will continue throughout the
remaining two days as they have during

A Slamiord Young Ian. I New York Lawyer

A peculiar case came before Justice
William Behildnecht. at llarien. yester-

in wrenching the watch from the thief’s
grasp. and he then attempted to secure a

DARIEN WATER COIPANY.
Attorney lturlhutt has Something to Say in the
latter. .
Attorney J. B. llurlbutt. of Noi‘walk.
takes exception to statements made by
some parties relative to the affairs of the
Darien ‘Vatcr company. in an interview
with a Bridgeport Farmer rcporter.yester-
day. he said an article on the matter,print'
ad in that paper Wednesday. would seem
to convey the impression that the firm of
IIurlbutt & Gregory. attorneys. had ~“ske<
daddled.” as the article was headed:
“Attorneys Missing.” Mr. ilurlbutt said
their oflicc in Norwalk was not closed
\Vednesday.as stated. He thought he
knew the identity of the one who had cir—
culated the rumor, and desired to inform
him that if any more such damaging re-
ports were circulated. the party might
sometime leave the Norwulk ollirc a loss
lmndsome.ifnota wiser man. lie had
told Attorney Nobbs what he thought of
accrtnin party who had proven very of-
llcious in the water company's troubles.
and had notyct seen any reason to change
his opinion. Mr. llurlbutt further said:
“i have already laid ontaliout 31.300 in
efforts to effect a settlementand l most.
decidedly object to statements having a
tendency to convey the impression that I
am actuated by an other than honorable
ruollvcs. While lam one of the water
company‘s counsel, yet i do not. dcny that
the Italian laborers have been most gricv
ously wronged by llidcr. whom i believe
to be a rascal. Virtually l mu acting for
the interest of lhcnnpaid laborers. as well
as for the interests of the water colli—
pnny." ‘
Mr. lluributt further said he was of the
opinion that some who professed such
an interest in the welfare of tho laborers
wv-ro actuated by motives other than syn»
pathy. llc bclloved the dcsirv \vusto gain
notoriety. if nothing more.
No one who knows Mr. lluributt will

Conflicting Reports Regarding the Mill Be.
tween O’Keeie and Sheppard.
llcports of the prime light which took
place between Dan chfc. of tirecnwich.
and James Sheppard. colored, of South
Nnrwulk. just across tin-statelinc from
lirconwlch. Wednesday afternoon before
dark, seem to conflict.
Arrangements for the mill were kept as
eccrctnspossiblc. and only the forty or
anything about it. Sheppard weighs 145
pounds and was in excellent condition.
Kecfc was also in line shape. Ho weighed
134 pounds. One report says that when
the men first took positions after the pre-
liminary handshakedt was seen that Keefe
was outclassed. lie was knocked out just
before the end of the second round. The
fight was for the gate recepts and a small
side bet.
Another report is that it was expected
the battle was to be between O'Keefe and
Mnlvchill. of South Nor-walk. The ring
was pitched in an old barn and everything
was in readiness for the light. but the
South Norwaik man failed to put in an
appearance. Sheppard. who was at the
ringside. volunteered to take his place and
stepped into the' ring. O’Keefe went at
him like a whirlwind and in just two
minutes and fourteen seconds Sheppard
was "put to sleep." and did not recover
for a minute or two later.
