He Sues Her In the Justices Court to
Recover $3.50.
A fragment OF the alleged swindling oper-
atoms of a certain Kearny-strset real estate
establishment. of which a person named
William English is the ostensible head, was
aired In Justice of the Peace Laws court
yesterday.
Mrs. Malvina II. Parker, who until ouite
recently owned the West End House, cor
ner of Suffer and Polk streets, was sued by
English to recover S139 on a note that she
had executed for his commission for having
negotiated sale OF her premises to J. NJ.
and Hattie Hay.
Mrs. Parker valued her business at S4412.
and the purchasers agreed to pay $500, CIV
ing note for $500, secured Ivy a chattel
mortgage on the furniture, and for the bal
ance to give a mortgage on some property
in Manawa, Iowa, represented to be OF
great value. The transaction was secom-
plished in September, and English was the
agent.
Through various channels Mrs. Parker
learned within short time that she had
Deen the victim, as she says, of a clean
swindle. The Hays had no Valuable mon
erty and the mortgages are yalueless. When
she went back to demand her premises she
found that the eely Hays had departed and
one David Hay was in possession, holding
by right of q bill of sale from i. M. and
Hattie for which he had paid So.
She finally attached the propertv and
commenced suit in the Superior Court

freight trains everything is tied up on this
division of the road, extending to Sala-
manca, n. Y.
Manager Tucker declares that Scott, the
Huntington Qnd.) train-dispatcher, who was
discharged for dereliction of duty, to enforce
whose reinstatement the strike on the Erie
road has begun, will not be taken back I'M
der any circumstances.

tween Chicago and Marion. The engineers
at Marion are ready to 20 out. Their SYM
