He Bounced Him

Landlord W H Munger. Of the Rock
meddlesome people with evil intentions,
and from bis treatment of the one in
question. people of that stripe would do
well to seek quarters at places other than
under his roof. On entering the hotel
late the other evening. Mr.. Munger was
informed by Clerk Bloom that one of the
guests, commercial man, had been
proving about certain parts of the
house. his actions rejecting anything but
moral inclination on his part. Mr.. Mum
ger asked for the number of the obnox-
iOus guests room, and going up to the
door knocked aud demanded of the oc>
cupant that he leave the house immedi-
ately. He had retired, but that made no
difference to Mr. Munger. and he repeats
ed bis demand. Mr.. Munger then pro-
ceeded to the office to await the appear
snce of the elected guest, who,
however. determined he would jump his
lodging bill, aud attempted to steal out;
but Mr.. Munger was up to snuff, and
Overhauled him on Second avenue. east
Of Seventeenth street. The fellow offered
the amount due for his lodging but this
would not do. Mr.. Munger would be
paid in his own office, and he marched his
captive back to the counter of the Rock
Island house, the other guests in the hall
smiling ..appr0vingtg of the landlord S
determination as the hayward drummer
passed up to the counter, paid his bill like
little man and was assisted to the door
and out into the street by the landlord.
Then in order to prevent the Harper
house being annoyed with the guest, Mr.
Munger acquainted Mr.. McHugh with
the facts, gave him description of the
unweleome guest, but said guest did not
appear at the Harper that night He
probably jumped in the river.

grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas. free as it is from the long
rigourOus cold winter, added to a soil
unsurpassed for richness aud productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far

to the Armory and secured an officer to
remove the intruder. As the officer and
myself were entering the street doors of
the theatre, another officer came running
up and persuaded the policeman with me
not to ''go into the theatre unless he was
paid for it," | thereupon asked the rea-
son why he refused to do his duty, and
he replied that the evening before he had
asked Mr.. Stevens representative for
four plimentary tickets which were
refused him. Mr. Stevens representative

those who are responsible for the conduct
of municipal officers to this disgraceful
affair. The communication is self ex-
plauatory and requires no further COM
