Members Attack Telephone Line- men as Viciously as Gophers Would Do It. A new gang has appeared to take its place in the crime annals of the city with the Gopher gang, the Hudson Busters and the Original Hgunds—the Fish Hawk gang. ‘The partioular habitat of this new rowdy organization is Randall's Island and the kills be- tween the Harlem ami East Rivers, Ita chief activity is biting Yelephone Mnemen. A few days ago complaint came to the Harlem office of the New York Telephone Company that the wires to the New York Hospital for Feeble Minded Children on Randall's Island were not in working order and linemen George Heath and Wiliam Singer were went to investigate. They climbed the big “distributing pole on the side of the island mearest the foot of One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, Manhattan, to the switchboard box, twenty-two fest above the ground.

They were driven to seek ty on the ground and they did not Gare re- turn to the box above until they had procured heip, ‘To-day Heath and Singer returned to the fight with the rowdy fish hawks, armed with clubs and with «@ roll of wire netting, with which the telephone box could be surrounded.

While one of the linemen kept the birds of with @ olub the other opened the box, discovering the cause of the telephone disorder, A pair of fishhawks had built their nest there, cutting all wires that in- terfered with their family architecture. Five gray speckled eggs in the nest insured that there would be new blood in the fiahhawk gang soon. The line- men surrounded the box with wire, after destroying the nest, and with it the coming generation of fisbheawks, —————>—— Newapal Mae Dies Suddenty. INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.—H. L.
