At 2.20 Saturday afternoon a call came in at police headquarters, Lewiston, from Policeman Langelier at Chestnut, and Lincoln streets for help as he was having difficulties with a party of drunks, who were making a fuss and it looked like a riot. Officers Murray, Ricker, Moore and Goyette were sent down on the jump in the patrol wagon. When they reached the scene there was a great crowd in the street and things looked bad, but the reinforcements changed the tide of battle and when the street was cleared two men were loaded into the wagon and taken to police headquarters. They were booked upon a charge of Intoxication.
