“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.
