Joe Long Pummeled Intrude In His Lafayette Hotel Room.

The following from the Lafayette Morning Journal is about our own Joe Long. When any one gets Into Joe’s room at night there Is going to be something doing and, Cronan will probably be extra cautious when he goes on a pilfering expedition again. The Journal says: ? J- ' , z Because he got Into the wrong room at the Dickerson boarding house, 500 North Fifth street, yesterday morning, Harry Cronan received a beating and is now in jail awaiting investigation on the charge of petit larceny. Joseph Long, a postal clerk on the Monon, who rooms at the Dickerson house, awoke early yesterday morning and found Cronan, who also rooms at the house, in his r<j£m. Long gave the intruder a pummeilng and Cronan got out. Long found his wallet on the floor and it was 40 cents short. ' Hp believes Cronan took the money. The police were notified and Cronan was arrested y bOfficer Ebersole on the north .side* of the square. Cronan has been employed in a restaurant here.
