The two Italians became so angry that they attacked him with a pickaxe and a shovel, and ono of them threw a brick at him that lauded just below the fifth rib, The foreman of the gang the three Italians were working with telephoned to police niadiiuarters and an auto patrol wag on made a hurry run to Jones policemen were picked up on the way, as it was thought riot bad broken out.

Among tile events were climbiug a greased pole and catching a greased pig. Authouy George rubbed sand on his hands, which adhered -to the rosin he had smeared hn fingers with before entering the contests. lis climbed the greased pole with ease and carried off the pne.

The most interesting event of the day was the chasing of the greased pig. It was a young Berkshire, oll enough to be spry and possessed lots of speed for pig. When he was turned he made a bee Hue to get away. Twelve Italians rushed after the pig and he was soon cornered. George was first to catch up with the pig.

He fell upon the little animal, getting both hind legs in his hands. With his teeth he seized the pig's tail. George held on fur dear life, and the pig set up a squall that could oe heard at Newport. Wasn't a Square Deal. While George was holding to the pig's legs and tail, Samuel Rongo, of No.

251 Mill street, and Michael Martimt, of No. 101 Lillian place, fell down in front of his pigship. Each seized the already captured animal by a front leg. Then ensued a sort of tug of war to obtain pos session of the pig, rill three pulling in dif ferent directions. The onlookers cheered.

Finally the judges interfered with the pull ing ana hauling, and the war of Italian invective ceased for a minute. The judges awarded the pig to George, on the ground that he had a majority of the pig in his possession. George, wild with delight, soon de parted from Glen Haven with his prizes. He suspected that an effort would be made -to steal his spuils. He went to his home in Frankfort street and hid the pig in the cellar.

Yesterday George stood for the taunts of Bongo aud Martiuo all day. They insisted that the least George could do in the matter, in order to be strictly on the square, was to divide the pig, giving them half of the animal. They would spilt the half pig into quarters, and the prise would then have been properly distributed. George demurred. He had the pig.

Ho bad won it fairly and squarely. The judges had awarded it to him. He proposed to keep the pig until it grew up. When the fatted hog was killed he might send each of his recent rivals one spare rib. That would be about all.

In the afternoon George johusou, foreman of the gang, ordered them to oeaae their bickering, threatening to discharge all thrc If the trouble did not cease. Ten minutes afterward a brick was proelied through the air and it lauded on George's ribs. It almost knocked the breath out of him.

As he staggered backward Rongo and Mar-tino attacked him with a pickaxe and a shovel. George arte-mptod to defend himself, but it was no nse. Thy were one too many for him, and in jiffy tho Italian was laid out. So much excitement was caused among the other Italians employed in the street that Johnson telephoned to headquarters. An auto patrol wagon was hurried out of the burn in Evchnnge street, with Wagonmnn Heinlein inside.

At the Four Corners Tratlio Squad Patrolman Lindner and Patrolman Bennett were picked up. Then the atlto sped on to Jones street There it was learned that the injured man's assailants had fled toward Stats street. They were traced to an Italian saloon in Mill street, conducted by a brother to Rongo. There the two were found. George went home, after he bad shown the police a bleeding nose sud two swollen eyes.
