LIVED THERE THIRTY YEARS
Aged John Heiss EVicted From
His Home.
Property and So Does
Mr. kettIer.

John G. Helss and his family, consisting
or wife and a twenty year old son, were
evicted together with their household ef-
fects, from No. 1906 Il street northeast, last
Monda tnoon, because OF refusal TO yacate
the premises when ordered To do so by
the owner. Mr.. Louis Kettler
For two nights Heiss, who is about sixty
five years old, guarded his goods and slept
among them out in the open air Upon
threatening to move back into the house
from which he waseyicted. the lawyers who
have the case in hand. ordered the structure
TO be torn down, and this was accomplished
early yesterday morning.
HeiSs is a German, ana il is alleged that he
has lived on the property for twenty nine
years A { that time Heiss was the owner
or thelot tonthenOrtheastc stcornerofThirteenth
and q streets, having purchased it from
Miss Ephert.
He lived on the corner for a few years, in
the same house from which he was dis
possessed, and had moved the house TO that
locality from Z Fourteenth a nd Florida avenue
northeast.
Although the ground was in HeisS' name
lie did not hold clear title but this fact
did not get OUT Til some time iateF. In 1871
Mr. kettler bought half the property. and
included in the deal was the house, which
WAS on the corner. HESS moved the house
he still owned, and 1t had remained in that
spot till yesterday.
Some difficulty arose regarding a per-
feet title TO the place. and the property
was sold by order Of the court, thereby
disposseSsing both Mr.. Kettler and Mr.
HESS. Mr.. kettleF,- however, bought in
the entire property In January, 1876.
HeisS was allowed TO fve on the ground
and occupied his old home with his family
A few weeks ago Mr. Kettler placed
the matter i'll charge Of lawyers in order
that be could have the title TO the property
Strengthened out HeiSs was commanded
TO move out by last Saturday Hejss
emphatically refused 90 obey and rema med

Last Monday a constable, with num-
Der OF workmen, proceeded to put the
furniture outside The Old German was
powerless to help himself, and before any
thing could be cone, his entire effects
were lined up on the sidewalk.
He finally announced that be was going
10 move back into the house. The
lawyers heard hi an d sc n men there before
the structure. Inside of three hours large
pile OF debrls marked The spot where
the ancient shanty once stood.
The whole affair seems TO be very much
complicated, and il is claimed on the
other hand that Heiss has deed to the
property and is the rigbtfuI owner.
His side Of the story is believed by the
neighbOrs and there was talk last night
of securing counsel for Heiss and having

A Curious Mirror.

John Mcguire, au antiquarian OF Butte
Mont, says that copy OF the London PhilO-
sophical Journal of 1882 coutains an ac-
count of curious Chinese mirror, which
had the power TO reflect upon a screen
by the aid OF the suns rays objects on the
back of the mirror, the mirror being made
of Chinese silver, a composition of tin and
copper The Journal stated that there
were but few of the mirrors then in eX-
iStence, aud that they were evidently the
remains OF lost art. From this he iufers
that the Xxx ray was originally discovered
by the Chinese. This claim will surprise no
one. for sooner or later every great dis
covery that has tended to advance civiliza-
tion is attributed to the Chinese. and yet.
strangely enough, the Chinese are now
hostile to the civilization that has grown
out of their discoveries.

that 1t was fully fifteen minutes or more
before the patrol wagon came up, but tile
delay In this case was caused by the wait
