Harris concluded to throw him out, and they
had lively tussle in slipping down the stairs,
while they pulled the accordion apart. Officer
Warren was called in, and lodged the poor fell |
low in the lookup, where be remained till late |
ate in the afternoon. Church refused to make |

vas put in for and until he got his pay. Church |
inally paid the full 1920 TO bis counsel and be |
'eturned to Dover last night.
