PUNISHING INGRATITUDE.
That Is the Explanation Dr. Troop Makes
of Yesterdays Proceedings.

Yesterday afternoon a number Of
men In the employ of DR.. B. H. Throop
took forcible possession of the shop OF
c. w. Freeman, located on the second
floor Of Temple Court, at 81 Spruce
street, and seized the safe and tools
which Mr.. Freeman. through the
graceousness of DIR. Throop, had been
allowed to use after he lost control Of
his store.
1t appears that DR.. Throop, who was
the heaviest creditor, being owed about
$4,000, bid In the store and its con-
tents, and engaged LIE Grand Wright
to conduct the business, intending to
get his own out of 1t, and then turn over
what remained to Mr.. Freeman's wife.
in order to give the Freemans an op-
portunity OF protecting themselves
against another sheriff's sale. Dr.
Throop, who has befriended the fam
lily in many instances, did not take
kindly to some action on the part Of
Mr.. Freeman in regard to the lease
Of the building. which 1t was agreed
DR.. ThroOp was to have, and yester-
day he took advantage Of the rights
which the sheriff's sale gave him. and
took possession OF everything that be-
longed to him.
