Mr.. Fred Bucher had purchased from
kept it in the store of VIM. Hiteshue,
Madden aud yesterday Madden attempted
wagon, when VIM. Morris, who now owns
the property where the things are kept,
interfered aud asked by whose authority
he was hauling the things away. He was
told and Immediately entered suit against
Buchcr. While Morris was at the squire's
Office Bucller put in an appearance, and as
Madden was afraid to take the remainder
of the shelving out of the room Bacher did
it himself. Mrs. Morris seeing this sent
the clerl: after her husband, who
came up Locust street on the
double quick. AS he was coming
up the street he yelled 'Bucher, Bucher,
what means this ?'' II got permission
from Hiteshu to take away my things and
am going to do it" Fred. replied. " Not
if l know myself" was Morris answer.
BY this time Mr.. Bucher had one of the
glass doors in his hand Morris grabbed
one end Oft, and Fred. held on to the
other. The tug of war then commenced,
both men talking excitedely in broken
German. The crowd hoiloed and cheered.
$50 in, Bucher. III bet on you," and
"Stick to her, Billy" and other words Of
encouragement were given to the combat
ants. Bucber had hatchet in
his Land and repeatedly told Nor
ris that if lie did not let go
he'd hit him on the fingers with the
hatchet. Mrs. Morris advised the clerk
to go to the help of her husband, but he
did not want any Of it in his. She then
took hold Of the other glass door, held by
Madden, but it was no go. Finally Morris
gave up, and up Locust street Bucher and
Madden marched as proud as two pea
cocks. Buchcr is sued. 1t his property
was not against the wall, and he had rc-
ceived permission from MIR. Hiteshue to
remove it, he will win bis case. but if it
was fastened and lie did not receive per-
mission, Norris will win. 1t was comical.
but serious results will yet turn out from
it.

Mr.. Fred Buchcr had another difficulty
yesterday morning. Three or four weeks
ago party from York went to him and
asked him to rent them Gnc of his new
houses on Sixth and Walnut streets. He
did SC, they paying him one months rent
in advance. They Immediately took posses
sion. For tho past few nights neighbors
have been disturbed by sounds of
boisterous hilarity. They complained to
Mr.. Bucher, who, after inquiring into the
matter, found that his house had been
turned into one of i'll fame, and number
of indecent women were kept there. He
went at once and told the proprietor that
ho must vscate it within the next twenty
four hours, or he would turn them out of
doors. Law cOmpels 4 notice of twenty
days, but III this case, as the house that
was kept was den of infamy, the propri-
etor fearing exposure, gladly availed them
selves, and by six o'clock last evening
nearly everything had been removed. Mr..
Buchcr deserves much credit for his
prompt action, as the place was 4 disgrace
to our town.
