Several Cases Disposed Of
at the Special Term of
Court Yesterday.

A scene ws enacted at the Swedish
tabernacle last evening which was not
down on the programme, as one of the
attractive features of the Thomas con-
cert. 1t was very attractive, though
altogether too much so in the opin-
ion OF Col. Charles w. Johnson.
The box office receipts were attached.
The writ was sworn out at the in
stance of the Pioneer Press company
for advertising work. Mr.. Johnson,
who has had the management of the
Thomas Concert company in Mlnneap-
oils and st. Paul. ordered advertIs-
ing to the amount of s12S, it is
claimed, but when the bill was
was presented he refused to pay the full
amount. Consequently, a writ of at
tachment was sworn out in the munic-
lpal court, and last nights receipts
levied upon.
An! but there was a scene when the
colonel comprehended the meaning of
the presence of the officer and John NJ.
Rees, the attorney. He grew red in the
face, then pale, and paced the narrow
confines of the box Office with tragic
step.
For Gods sake" he exclaimed,
don't GO up there and serve those
papers on Thomas in the midst of one
of his beautiful symphonies. You must
notd it. You da'sent do it.'
well, | don't know about that" said
the officer; ''but you just stand away
from that money. That belongs to me.''
Finally. seeing that it was impossible
to bluff the officer. Mr.. Johnson rushed
up stairs, to return shortly with a gen.
tleman, whom he introduced as This is
my lawyer, my lawyer" with a
frantic wave of his valiant right arm.
After much talk the matter was settled
by the payment of the undsputed por-
ton of the bill in cash, and Mr.. john
son gave his personal check for the
balance, which is to be held in escrow
by the clerk of the municipal court,
pending the settlement of the case.
Mr.. johnson expressed himself in un-
measured terms at the course taken by
the newspaper and proposes to fight it
to the bitter end.
Col. johnson was very much worked
up about the attachment last night.
He said that he had never disputed S64
of the bill, which was for advertising
ordered by him. The balance was
charged for extraneous matter He
made his advertising contract with the
understanding that he was to have the
usual advance notice rates. The Pho
neer Press charged for these notices.
These chargee he refuses to pay.

that both Kirschbaum and his wife were in

strap for that purpose. Abe Kirschbaum, the
elder of the boys, exhibited a number of
marks which had been left on his back by a
