ASSAILED WITH PIES.
Two Constabies Have a Rough Time
Lowing on a Bakery.

Two Constab ies Have n Rough Time in
Levying a Bakery
There was great excitement in the little
bakery, $40 Franklin avenue. Constable
Henry Peterson. accompanied by Attorney
Roeder went to the bakery for the purpose
of collecting Judgment against John Lie
brecht, the proprietor, for $40 10. Lie
brecht is a sturdy German. He appeared
at the door with his brawny arms covered
with dough and his rubicund complexion
dotted with -four. The Constable told his
object in visiting the place and was greeted
with laugh of derlsIon. About week
before Constable Dolan had endeavored to
make a levy, but was compelled TO retreat
under a heavy fire of bread pans and other
bakery cOnc0mitants. Constable Peterson
sized up the bIawny baker and decided to
postpone operations until reinfOrcements
could be obtained. He signaled for ROeder
to retreat and they withdrew in good
order while the baker confidently returned
to his dough.
About an hour afterward two men tiptoed
up to the open door and looked in. One
was Constable Peterson, while the other
was his assistant, the intrepid George Norp.
They had entered the store and little girl
signified her willingness to sell them some
nice new bread.
"Where's Mr. Liebrecht?" said Constable
Peterson, in gruff tone.
He's out" said the little clerk.
where's Mrs. Liebrecht?
"She's out"
"Has the fire gone out, too?" asked Norp,
as he carelessly picked up piece Of cake.
we will capture the place" said Peter
son.
The little clerk slipped out of the rear
door and soon the noise of heavy footsteps
sounded on the stairs.
"Where are they?" shouted woman's
voice, aud through the door came the for
midable shape of Mrs Liebreeht..
I'VE have levied on the place." said Con-
stable Peterson, thrusting his head up from
behind the barrcade.
you have have you2" she shouted.
yes, you have" and bang came loaf of
bread, barely missing the Constables head.
Yes, you have" the irate woman shout
ed, and shower OF doughnutS scattered
like grape-shot against the barricade.
'Qut that yelled the Constable I'VE
are officers of the law"
Eyes, you are" was the reply, and a
lemon pie caught the hat of one of the Off
GERS. Apple, blackberry, lemon, peach and
every other kind of pie then filled the air.
Big fat doughnuts flew like hail, while
loayes of bread began to destroy the breast
works behind which the Constables had en-
trenched themselves. Something must be
done at once Constable Norp made a
sortie, and crawling around behind the
counter attacked the enemy by flank
movement. He was temporarily disabled
by big luscious lemon pie which came in
contact with his face. but he heroically
seized the enemy, and the battle was over.
Constable Peterson then raided the
monev-drawer and succeeded in getting
50 80. This he pocketed, and then with his
assistant retTeated.
Talk about levying on circus" said
Norp as he wiped the pie out of his eyes
and pulled a doughnut out of his collar

THE LEADERS LOST.
Frisco Turned The Tables on the
Senators.
Roscoe COuShlin Pitched Effective Ball for
the Home Team.
HaTpsr'S Curves Were PuZzlins, But his Sup
port Was POOr-ReSultS Of Games
Oh Eastern Fields.

Coughlin was in the pitchers box for the
home team yesterday, and Harper per-
formed the twirliug for the Senators. Ros-
coe had almost perfect command OF the
ball ana Harper was fairly steady. The
Frisco pitcher struck out two men, while
the Senator fooled thirteen batsmen, and
there was but little difference in the num-
Der of safe hits made by the contesting
teams.
The game, almost from the start. became
a pitchers battle, with Harper heavily
handicapped after the second inning. The
home players took kindly to his delivery at
the opening of the play and in two innings
made FIVE singles. which, with a few steals
and two costly errors, netted Frisco five
runs From the end of the second to the
close Harper pitched magnificent game
and both hits and runs were scarce on
Frisco's side of the score-beok.
Coughlin, who was warmly applauded
when lie stepped on the diamond, was sized
up for eight hits by the opposing side and
half Of these "safeties were made in the
seventh and eighth innings. 1t began to
look like a shut-out for the visitors as the
game rolled on, but base on balls and
Roberts triple saved the leaders.
The helulnE Oh Inc VanqulSneu team was
below their standard, and some OF their
errors were very costly, particularly Nc
Hale's muff Of Veach's line hit in the
second inning, when the bases were filled
with runners. Charley IsaacsOn played
1rst base for the Senators in place of
Staplcton, who is on the sick list lsaacson
played good ball in his position, and his
three Dagger was factor in one of the runs
credited TO Sacramento. Bowman, although
he made two errors, played a great game
behind the bat accepting sixteen chances,
and he threw a number Of runners out at
second base. GOodenOugh led in batting,
making three safe hits of Coughiin.
The play Of the home team on the field
was very strong and steady, and the many
chances offered were seldom of an easy
character. Everetrs ShOrtstop work was
excellent, while Shea covered the territory
about second in great shape. The whole
team played ball to Win, and they sue
ceeded. The score:

their uncle, Nelson Nash, for threatening
to beat them. While he was leaning over
the fire one of them knocked him or the
head with an ak, then they tied him with
ropes to a mule and dragged him some dis
lance to a gully, where they hid the body,
covering it with brush. In returning they
attempted to conceal all traces of the muir
der, and by clever story deceived their
aunt. She had no suspicion of what had
occurred until this morning, when she acci-
dentally discovered her husbands body.
The three boys then confessed the deed,
and gave all the horrible details with gusto.

cerned,-N Y. Press.

JUSTICE IN MEXICO.
The Manner in Which Revolutions

The Manner in Which n RevoIutionist
Was Disposed of.
About six weeks ago a man named Man
tiano Martinez was captured by the Federal
authorities in New Laredo, charged with
being an active reyolutionist in sympathy
with the Sandoval forces, who were at that
time at work on this side of the river. He
was tried according to the Mexican law.
but what his sentence was no one knows
Between ~ and 1 o'clock this morning he
was bound and was taken afoot by squad
of soldiers from the Thirteenth regimental
headquarters, headed by Captain Flores,
and left the city. The soldiers and their
commander returned to the city, but the
prisoner never returned. His wife sent
him his breakfast, but it was sent back.
She got up from her sick bed and went to
the headquarters of the regiment, where
she was informed it was too late. She was
also told that the Government officials were
not to blame, as certain citizens of Neuvo
Laredo had given the information which
sentenced her husband to death. Martinez
was brother of Dionicio Martinez, an in
ternational outlaw, who is wanted on the
Texas side in this country for murder and
horse-theft, and also for various murders
and other crimes committed in MexIco.-St.
