TROUBLE OVER A JUNK SALE.
Abram Swartz, Of 297 Gladstone
avenue has remarkable tale TO tell. Its
chief point lies in his statement that he
was dead allpight Some folks who know
Abram doubt his story especially when he
claims. as he did TO Officer Clifford, that he
was tho victim Of murderer. H0 does
not claim he was killed I'm cold blood but
simply died from the effect of blow in
the side with bottle. The blow he says
was administered by IA ma n whose busi-
ness he tried TO run.
Jacob Bauer keeps a junk shop on
Gladstone avenue and by his shrewdness
Is on the pathway TO that oppulence that
enables family of his race TO say as
Simon thumbs up or thumbs down" so
far as peace or war are concerned in
Europe. He cannot be cornered in the
mercantile market so when SwartZ, Tues
day night, came in TO sell some junk that
was decidedly of color Jacob refused TO
purchase. Abraln tried to bulldoze but
that did not work. The proprietor who is
slow TO anger, after Swartz had become very
tiresome told him to get out. Then
swartz got mad too and a scufiie ensued
in which he was pushed out of the en-
porium by Mr.. Bazzer
Yesterday morning the latter reported
the trouble To the police and officer Gil
ioil started out To Investigate. He had
gone but few stops from the station
when he met Isaac Zuzzermic run
ninga long the sidewalk barcheaded.
Isaac when asked what the trouble was
said there was a man dying at 2N Chalk
stone avenue and ne wanted an officer.
Mr.. Clifford intimated he won the blue
coat and buttons for business purposes
and directed the bareheaded man To lead
him To the place where the unfortunate
was. Isaac did so and the tenement of
Swartz was reached Mt last. SwartZ
was lying in bed apparently many
miles this side of the death post but he
rather surprised the officer by telling him
that no had been dead. How long
were you deadg" asked the officer
who perhaps was bit anxious
TO hear from friends on the other side
afternoon" was the reply and further
information was given that the speakers ;
death resulted from the blow of bottle
administered on the side by Bauer.
Now there are fow more peaceable men
in this section than Mr.. Bazzer and the
officer knew IL. This did not prevent
Swartz from saying that he had made up
his mind to hire hack and go TO the
police station.
A mild and quiet dose of ease was sug-
gested by Officer Gilfoil after he had ex-
amined Swartz and found not a scratch
on him.
NORTH END NOTES.
There were bur seven arrests made by
the police of the Second station last
night Five of the parties arrested could
not give IA reasonable account of them
selves ana two were drunk.
In answer to Anxious Inquirer il
may be stated that the pnlarlypment of
| the Second police station is not made 20
Accommodate the bikes of the officers
stationed there. The change was sug-
gested long before the wheel craze struck
| the brick block.
Charles street and Branch avenue are
the pacing grounds of many well known
cyclists these days and nights.
