WARRANTS
EXECUTED !
Creditors Have Taken Steps Against
Chief Burgess Tabor.
HE FURNISHED BAIL FOR TRIAL
Messrs. Murphy and Canfeld, For Swift
and Company, swore Out the warrants.
Armour and Company Issue At
tachments and Attack the
Bill Of Sale.

As foreshadowed in last evenings issue Of
the HERALD, warrants were issued against
Chief Burgess Tabor on complaints of some
Of the creditors who were barred out by Mr.
Tabor's bill of sale to Mrs. Justyna Szyd-
lowski. After spending some time at Potts
vile yesterday afternoon in consultation
with Messrs j. A. Murphy aud John Can
field the Mahanoy City and Shenandoah
representatives of Swift and Company,
S. G.. M. Hollopeter and John f. Whalen,
Esqs., concluded to proceed with Grim
inal prosecutions. Accordingly the parties
went before Justice Nichols, at Potts
vile, and Mr.. Murphy swore out two war
rants for Mr.. Tabor's arrest, alleging, first,
the issuance of fraudulent check for 1927
and, secondly, fraudulently transferring his
property. Mr.. Garfield also swore out a
warrant on the latter charge Pottsville
constable took charge Of the warrants and
Mr.. Tabor was arrested at about $3.50 last
evening" at the entrance to his Office He
went to the Office of his counsel, M. NJ.
Burke, Esq, and Justice Toomey was sent
for. He prepared the necessary bonds and
Walter Rynkawicz furnished 81 500 bail for
Mr.. Tabor.
Meanwhile the representatives of Armour
& Co. were active in another direction aud
attachments were issued through their coun-
sci, w. 2. Ramsey, Esq, of Mahauoy City
Deputy Sheriff Roberts executed the writs
last night. He attached all the fixtures and
other contents in the shop at the corner of
Centre street and Market alley, a large guam
tity Of tallow in barrels, the slaughter house
horses, wagons, and in fact everything Mr..
Tabor owned before executing the bill of sale
to Mrs Justyna Szydlowsl1i. The course
taken by the Armour people is an aggressive
one in which the creditor ignores the bill of
sale and seizes the property for possession.
Under this position the Sheriff will hold the
property until Mrs. Szydlowski establishes a
bona fide title to it. This question will come
up in the court at POttsville next Monday.
1t is said Armour & Co. will have large
array of counsel on hand to fight the case.
Mr.. Tabor has stated to one Of his creditors
that he made nothing by the bill of sale. He
claims that he owed Mrs. Szydlowski 81 500
and to protect her claim he sold out to her
for $4,000, Mrs. Szydlowski paying him 81 900
and the claim he owed her going to make up
the balance. The 81 900 he received was
turned over to his father-in-law, Lewis
Ambrose, to pay debt of that amount due
him.
The Sheriff yesterday attached the shop at
Minersville that was included in Mr. Tabor's
bill of sale. This attachment was made by
August Schall of Pottsville
One of the latest claimants is John Zulkis.
who keeps a saloon AT the corner of Lloyd
and Chestnut street. He claims to have
loaned Mr. Tabor 5000.

nThe Tarrytown WIdnM.,,

The most noteworthy event of the coming
theatrical week in Mahanoy City will be the
first performance of the successful new
comedy, "The TarrytOwn Widow" at
KaieF's Grand Opera House tomorrow even
ing. Among the many new plays of this
type that have been recently offered for
public favor there is none which has made
so emphatic and decisive hit Among the
many favorable newspaper notices which it
obtained on the occasion of its production
last spring the following from the Brooklyn
Citizen is worth quoting 80 continuous
and genuine was the amusement the piece
afforded the audience from beginning to end,
that whatever anxiety may have been felt
by those interested in the production must
have vanished early in the evening. A play
that can make whole house laugh and keep
on laughing and applauding must be the one
that has the real humor and fun in its com
position. This is what The Tarrytown
Widow achieved last night"
