Moved by righteous tn- digmation over the fact that the courtesy of @paring his brother was not shown to him by his “buddies” he seceded, tak- ing with him several who shared his in- ignation.. The new party became known ag the Sullivans, and the west side has been in a pante ever since the vendetta vegan, Keegan, as soon as he heard that, dy logical deduction, the hooting had been put up to him, kept discreetly out of sight until night before last, when word was passed around that he had been seen @ Ninth avenue saloon. The “Sullivans” sallied forth, and be- wan a systematic search for him. The quest carried them into @ half dozen saloons. In each place, they ealved their disappointment by sticking up the proprietor of the place for drinks, and ool room at Fortleth street Wighth avenue they compelled “PI aninny"” Hill to come across with some of his hard earned coin, They caused panic wherever they went, and left souvenirs of their visit in the way of shattered mirrors, bul- let-riddled ceilings and the lke, until finally the reserves of the West Thirty-seventh street police station got after them. The gang then broke up into two sections. One excaped and the other fell into the hands of the pollee in MeGraw's saloon at Thirty- sixth street and Ninth avenue.
