VALUABLE LAW COMBINATION.
II Wipes Out a Questionable Resort
on West Linden street.

A radical reform in an indirect way
was the result of a combination of a
landlords warrant, constable's sale
and a capable constable.
The dwelling house at 90S West Lin
den street Is owned by T. J. Luce and
occupied by Mrs. Bundy. The rent
having become long overdue land
lords warrant was issued by Alderman
Johns and yesterday afternoon Con-
stable Timothy f. Jones completed the
issue by holding a constable's sale.
These proceedings were ordinary
enough in themselves, but the results
were of considerable consequence.
For some time past the residents in
that vicinity have been commenting
upon the character and doings of the
occupants of the house. Boisterous
conduct, loud noises and other deterior-
ating influences were apparent. AT
last three women became residents of
the place and many visitors were
noticed. A feeling of relief now per-
vades the community and great bene-
fit has been conferred.
