KICKER LEWIS AGAIN
Wants His Driver Arrested for
Refusing to Deliver Beer
on Sunday.

Daniel Y. Lewis, chief of the collection
of soreheads now known as 1.-The Croak-
ers," who say they are going to organize
a reform Democratic County Commit
tee, is acquiring considerable notoriety of
late. 1t was only a few days ago that he
was a prisoner in Justice of the Peace
Christian Geiger's office, accused OF bru-
tally ~assaulting Charles Knoeller, a for
mer business associate.
The circumstances of the assault were
published in 'sThe News The failure
of Knoeller, however, to appear in court
against Lewis kept a rich story from be-
coming public, it is said. Knoeller, it APP
pears, was out of town when the case was
to have been called. He has not forgiven
Lewis. however, and declares that he will
get even with him yet. Knoeller is a
fighter, and will probably keep the alleged
reform Democrat guessing for a while.
Having dropped from the public gaze
for a few days Lewis trotted himself out
again yesterday. For a reformer his APP
pearance yesterday was startling. He
was, it is. alleged, ~endeavoring to COM
pei an employee of his to deliver beer on
Sunday. Lewis, in addition to many
other things. is an agent for a brewery.
Yesterday he received an order for six
kegs of beer from a certain saloon keeper
who enjoys an extensive Sunday trade.
Lewis directed Ruby Trefnble. one of his
drivers, to deliver the beer Tremble re-
fused to obey the order unless given ex-
ira pay, declaring that he was entitled
to more pay If compelled to work Sun
day, particularly as he would be running
the risk of being arrested owing to the
lice.
Lewis, it is said, made a number of un-
pleasant references to the Sabbath OBJ
servance, which, coming from a reform
err astonished his hearers. Lewis tried
to coax Tremble to deliver the beer, and.
failing in that, INDUCED in pretty strong
language, it is said. A war of words
followed, and Lewis at last called a POI
lieeman and had Tremble arrested.
At the Gregory street station, Sergeant
OBrien, who was in charge, refused to
hold Tremble. declaring that he could not
see wherein Tremble had been disorderly.
Lewis simply howled with rage. His
bowling did no good. Tremble was dis
charged, and he says he proposes suing
Lewis for false Imprisonment.
Lewis refused to say who the saloon
keeper was who wanted the beer. Had
ne disclosed his name an arrest might
nave been made. Lewis was told so and
ne lost no time in getting out of the sta
ton house.
