AN EAGLE EYED CONSTABLE
Gets the Better OF an Eagle Drained
Deputy Sheriff
The Latter Grown Tired From Watching a
Place, Went Out. When lie Returned
The Constable Had Taken Charge

The sheriff's office was outwitted yester-
day morning by Deputy Constable Brake
shuler, who robbed the department of a
place it had attached and put one of his
own men in charge, leaving the sheriff IS
deputy out in the cold and with two days
of watching gone for naught.
Several days ago Simon Maier, the
butcher. got out a writ of attachment
against j. Aul. He put the papers in the
sherif's hands and had him serve an
attachment on the Hollenbeck Cafe, which
is run by Mr.. Aull. As the restaurant is
one of the swellest in the city, and Sheriff
Burr, with characteristic amiability, did
not wish to do anything to give trouble to
Mr.. Aull or to cause the cold shivers to
run up and down the backs of the patrons
at the sight of trained and successful
thief taker holding the fort, he rustled
around among his friends for one who
could be relied on and could also present a
fine appearance, thoroughly in keeping
with the surroundings of the cafe. He
selected Gaty Pallen. and the eX-Adonis
was installed with befitting ceremony.
Gaty watched the place closely for forty
eight hours, but even Gaty has limit,
and yesterday morning about 5 o'clock he
could stand it no longer and went out to
stretch his limbs and get a bromo-seltzer.
Anderson & Chanslor. the grocers, and
Fixen d. Co.. the dry goods dealers, heard
of the attachment Saturday or Sunday and
put their heads together to see if they, too,
could not get in on the deal, but were told
that the sheriff held the fort. Early yes
terday morning there came a knock at
Deputy Constable Brakesuhler's door and,
getting up, he was met by the members of
the two firms, They had the necessary
papers for an attachment prepared, and in
short time waited on Justice Morrison
and, after arousing and explaining their de-
sire for an attachment against Mr.. Aull,
filed their bonds and had the satisfaction
of seeing the papers i'll the hands of Mr..
Brakesuhler.
Strange things happen and stranger coin
cidences too, but at al events Gaty had not
turned the corner and left the cafe un-
watched minute before Mr.. Brakesuhler
SHE'D across the street and took charge of
the place, and when Gaty returned in a few
minutes it was to find that he had been
routed and his occupation, like Othello's,
was gone. The two attachments levied by
Brakesuhler, while not so large as Gaty's,
are big enough to keep out the sheriff for
a while. Anderson d Chanslor's was for
5000, and the other $135.
just how the coincidence of Gaty's walk
and Brakesuhler's coup occurred can not
be stated positively. Brakesuhler declares
positively that he did not sit in Judge Nor
rison's window and watch until his OPP
ponent went away and then slap on the at
tachment, as some credible persons say,
but states that it just happened so. Brake
suhler, though, is noted for his modesty,
aud it is in the face of smart turn that
this characteristic is at it's strongest.
Brakesuhler put regular camper in
charge. in the person of Joe Mugnemi, who
has been known to occupy a chair in an
attached place he was watching for five
days. A reporter passed the cafe this
morning about 2 o'clock and saw Joe
sitting close to the refrigerator with his
eyes glued against the glass. behind which
could be seen the choice table wines.
