"Adjournment In Two Cases," Niagara Falls Review. October 24, 1933. Page 3. --- Ft. Erie concern is charged with smuggling in quantity rubber heels ---- PEDDLING CASE ---- FORT ERIE, Oct. 24 - (Special)- Two contentious cases were adjourned in Fort Erie police court yesterday by Police Magistrate William T. Malkin.

The charge against a Fort Erie concern of smuggling in a quantity - of rubber heels, polish in bottles, laces, etc. from the United States in contravention of Section 217 of the Customs' Act, was adjourned for one week. Collector of Customs Frank T. Pattison, and Charles H. Price and William G. Stamp of the staff were present to give evidence but after a short discussion the adjournment was granted to allow the Crown to produce additional proof.

Wendel M. Musgrove of Niagara Falls appeared on behalf of Gordon Lapp, Sherkston man charged with violation of the Hadker's and Peddlers' Act. After some discussion this case was adjourned until Wednesday of next week, in order to produce witnesses. This was satisfactory to Mr. Musgrove.

No plea was taken in view of the amicable agreement to postpone, although there was some discussion by counsel as to the points involved in the interpretation of the local by-law and the provincial act in this regard.

“LONE SMUGGLER FIGHTS FIVE COPS,” Toronto Globe. March 15, 1921. Page 3. --- Ferryman is Later Arrested, Slightly Wounded, His Dinghy Pierced ---- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Bridgeburg, March 14 - A sensational battle was fought early today between rum-runners and five Buffalo police on the shores of the Niagara, directly across the river here, at the foot of Brace street, Buffalo. Sixty shots were fired.

A lone smuggler in a rowboat, armed with three revolvers, held off five policemen in the dark. When his last gun jammed he rowed away in the darkness. Four men in autos waiting near the landing place were arrested, but as their Cars were empty there is no evidence against them. 

Later, James Tulley, a ferryman, residing on the Bird Island pier, was arrested. He is believed to be the man with whom the duel was fought. His boat, a dinghy, was spattered with blood, it being apparent that one of the shots had taken effect. He was slightly wounded. There was a hole in the stern of the boat. 

Before Tulley was taken it was necessary to wait until daylight arrived, as he was in his boathouse, armed with a shotgun, and defied the officers to get him. The presence of a woman, peering over his shoulder, as could be seen with a searchlight, prevented. the police from firing into the building. 

Sixty cases of Canadian whiskey. it was learned, were to have been rowed over, but connections were not properly made on this side of the river.
