DIR. Weinberg, the painless tooth
extractor, was operated upon last
week at Portage by Attorney E. S.
Baker, who was given accounts of The
Gazette and The REPUBLICAN offices 10
collect. Since giving up Watertownas
one Of his places to visit, he appeared
perfectly oblivious rs to his obligations
to US and to Brother Moore, so it be-
came necessary to give him some kind
of reminder, and the presentation of
bills for advertising and job work in
the hands of duly authorized collec-
tor seemed just the thing as a memory
logger. Mr.. Baker was met with q
storm of Indignation from the Doctor,
intermingled with series of abusive
epithets, for daring to invade his office
on business mission. The rest of the
matter is summed up thus: The Ga
zette and THE REPUBLICAN bills were
paid and fine was also collected from
the irrate Weinberg for using abusive
language towards Mr.. Baker, whose
only offense was that of trying to col
lect just and lawful debts for a couple
of newspapers.
