IN the Arrest of the Hotel Waterman.
Stories Of the Combatauts

Henry L Kowalsky an attorney with a
military swagger and the title of colonel, !"
has valet named Clarence Bristol.
Mr.. Kowalsky has resided for some time
on the fourth floor of the Baldwin Hotel,
and occupies a luxurious suite of rooms on
the Market-street side Although there are
enough belIboys in the caravansary to form
a cadet company, Mr.. KoWalsky prefers a
young valet to attend bis wants, and he
loves Clarence so much that an enlarged
photo of him occupies prominent position
in his parl0r.
Now Mr.. KOwalsky's valet has caused
whole lot of trouble, not only for that gen.
tleman but for G. A. Dickinson. special
police officer employed by Lucky" Bald
win.
Mr.. KowalSky's trouble consisted in try
ing to escape being dubbed into Hamburg
steak by Dickinson, and the latter is trying
to obtain his release from the Southern pO-
lice station, whence he was taken last night
anu held on the complaint of Mr.. Kowaisky,
who charges him with battery and assault
with a deadly weapon.
How the trouble came about is as difficult
to understand as the DOnnelly cryptogram
of the authorship of Shakespeare, but it ap-
pears Iudb MI. hoh dtShS went 10 a HAS
querade ball Saturday night and Instructed
Clarence TO prepare bath for him when be
returned. Mr. Kowalsky's bathroom being
cut Of order Clarence sant to the office for a
key to some adjoining rooms, in one Of
which there is bath.
THREW THE VALET OUT.
Dickinson's vigent eye caught sight Of
the valet entering the rooms, and knowing
that be had no legitimate business in them,
had the key taken away from him. This
enraged Clarence, and be, according to
Dieknson's statement, applied divers
epithets to him. However, matters did not
warm up until last evening when Clarence,
knowing that Mr.. Kowalsky would back

son in the billiaTd-rOOm. The exact CONVEX
saiiOn is not available, as the parties to it
Will not admit saying anything, bnt anyhow
Dickinson caught the valet near the seat Of
his trousers and by the collar aud hustled
him through the billiard-room and elected
him at the Powellstreet exit. Clarence
presents damaged optic as a result of his
encounter. but Dickinson, who is a Southern
gentleman and late possessor Of a fortune,
denies having struck him.
Clarence was very much put out over the
affair, and with his good eye found his way
10 bis masters rooms. He told the stalwart
colonel how lnbDmanly and uDgentemanly
he had been treated, and the attorney ac-
cOrdingly wasted no time in reaching Sir.
Baldwin's rooms and informing him how
he had been prevented from getting bath.
and how his valet had been treated.
THE COLONEL TAKES A HAND
Mr.. Kowalsky and Clarence then de-
seended to the ground floor by the elevator,
and much TO their surprise were met by
Dickinson. Who opened hostiities will
probably never be recorded in bistoIy's
pages, for no one seems to know. Dckin-
son says KOwalsky upbraided him for
wrestling with his valet, and then waved
his hand toward and against his month. ut
the same time saying majsstically, Il want
nothing at all to do with you, sir. Dickin-
sen ssyshe then showed the attorney. and
being small man drew his club to protect
himself, as he did not intend 20 fight him at
catch weights. At this point Clerk Harden
berg lnteTpOsed several objections to the
mode of procedure and separated them.
Dir. Kowalsky went through the hotel
entrance vOwing all kinds of vengeance,
but shortly decided to have Dickinson ar
rested. He called Officer J. I. Green, and
Dickinson, at the attorneys solicitation,
was placed under arrest. Mr.. Kowalsky
and bis valet followed the officers to the
Southern police station, where the attor-
Bey swOTe TO the charges. Clarence wanted
to put few charges against Baldwin's
special. but was persuaded not to.
MASSAGE FEMALE.
To CALL reporter Dickinson, after re-
hearsing the trouble, said that he was not
at all liked by Kowalsky, as he performed
his duties according 70 instructions. ''Mr.
Kowalsky," SAID he, owes the hotel over
$500 for board and lodging, and he has
been sent ali kinds OF itemized accounts aud
requests for payments. lie disregarded
them all. and Mr.. Baldwin has been threat
ening 10 have him ejeeted. When | crossed
Kowalsky's path first il was when. accord
ing TO Instructions, ordered a few disrep-
utable women VINO called on him to leave
the house.
"The second time was little while ago
and was brought about in this manner: a
woman was going through the hallway 10
kowaisky's rooms and Mr. Baldwin asked
me who she was. l said l did not know,
but would fad out. Then / ascertained
that she was massage woman and ap-
prised Mr.. Baldwin of the fact. Mr.. Bald
win told me to order her out the next time
she came to the hotel. When politely told
the woman to leave the hotel she said she

through, and never struck either Kowalsky
or his valet"
DELICATE LITTLE FELLOW.
After the smoke of the conflict had
cleared away Kowalsky assembled 10 his
room on the fourth floor. removed his coat
and sat down to enjoy the evaporation of
the persplration that believed his extensive
frame. The cool brseZes of the night stole
in through the windows and famed his
heated brow. He became calmpr. but his
desire TO annihiate the tribe Of Dickinson
never left the recesses Of his heaVing bosom.
'pll tell you all about it. he said to a
CALL reporter who ventured into his pres
eDce. Il have a little boy in my employ.
BE is but 10 or 20 years old; delicate little
fellow, about five feet high. I'm sure no
isn't any more than that.
well. Dickinson, who / believe was
drunk, assaulted this boy on Saturday
night and assaulted him again tonight as
he was going through the barroom. The
boy came TO me with one of his eyes bruised
ana black, and we went to Mr.. Baldwin's
room and made a complaint against Diekin-
son. Mr.. Baldwin said that we should have
the man arrested, and 1 went downstairs 10
ascertain whether the boys story was true.
AS l left the elevator 1 saw Dick inson,
who came forward as If he wanted to speak

and started for the desk. Dickinson fol-
lowed and lifted his club TO strike me- He
would have done so if the clerk had not
interieTred. The boy and / then went out
ana had Dickinson arrested"
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL.
Upon being questioned concerning Dick
inson's statements about him, Mr. Kowai-
sky became indignant and said no credence
should be given TO them. He denied owing
Mr. Baldwin money or that he had had any
trouble with that gentleman about financial
