at No. sc. Fifteenth street, swore out a
warrant to-day for the arrest of his next
door neighbor. Frank Jandera, charging
him with disorderly conduct. Venerka has
large number of girls in his employ, and
it is charged that his neighbor stands up to
the window. talks to, and t1irtS with the girls,
thus keeping them from their work. The pro-
prietor first demonstrated with his trouble
some neighbor and then threatened to have
him arrested, all without avail. Yesterday
afternoon he was in his usual place near
the window while the girls were all listen
ing when Venerka Sneaked out and caught
him. A struggle followed and Jandera,
who. by the way, is the smaller man, was
badly beaten and pounded about the head.
He was only released upon his promise
never to speak to any of the girls again,
and then was allowed to go into the house
and dress his wounds. In less than two
hours he was out again and this time de-
manded satisfaction from the proprietor.
The latter stepped out and in short time
was badly beaten that he had to be carried
into his shop. AS soon as Jandera found
that warrant had been issued for him he
went to the same justice and procured a
warrant for Venerka's arrest.
