A COnstable's Hard Luck in He
brew Community.

Constable Housel was sent out yester-
day morning by Justice Abel to make
levy OH some furniture in possession
of a family of Jewish extraction in
South Minneapolis. About an hour and
half Housed returned, carrying in
basket the fragments of a once hand
some sofa. The constable looked as
though he had been run through
threshing machine. and his hands were
swollen to the size of Cincinnati hams.
After he had recovered his breath and
brushed the mud and dust from his
face and clothes he told what had hap
pened to him. He had taken a truck
man and gone to the store expecting to
get whole load of furniture. But
there were certain obstacles in the
way. When the constable undertook to
remove the furniture there was row,
and in less than two minutes the whole
Jewish population in Southtown was
wading into Housed and the truckman.
The truckman started in right there and
soon the floor was covered with disa-
bled men, who had come in to help
Oysteryoung, the man whose furniture
was being removed. The constable
finally secured lounge in sections and
departed with it in triumph. He will
cause the arrest of the parties who tried
to prevent him from removing the fur
niture.
