A BIT Of A ROW AT
GRIMSBY BEACH
... .
The usual quiet of Sunday evening
was disturbed at GRIMSBY Beach on
Sunday, July 8, when the Beach con-
stable and several of the dock hands
from the steamer Macassa got into a
squabble. That was the first stage of
the trouble. The second stage of the
trouble was when the deck hands
were up before Magistrate Anderson
and Allan in GRIMSBY on Monday
and the third stage will be when the
accused men appear before Judge
Campbell in St. Catherines, at an
early date.
It appears that three or four of the
deck hands were in the swings on
Sunday evening and the constable or-
dered them to leave. This they refused
 to do. One word led to another and
finally the constable endeavored to
place one of the boys under arrest.
The others interfered and a squabble
was the result.
Constable Robertson laid informa-
tion against two of the men, Alfred
Poole, who hails from Brantford, and
Belwood Berry, whose home is in Tor-
onto. They are quite young men and
they came up for trial before the two
GRIMSBY magistrates on Monday
and were committed for trial before
His Honor Judge Campbell. Constable
J. Konkle took the lads to St. Cath-
arines on Monday evening and they
are now in jail awaiting their trial,
charged with resisting a constable
when performing his duty.
