Impersonated Another Man.

John Kivididis. an employe at the
Mt. Pleasant colliery, has only been
in the country six months, and knows
but little about IT, but he does know
about mans duplicity. He received a
due bill from the mine clerk for his
pay last week amounting to $3.50, but
when he went to obtain the money,
found that all that was coming to
him was $3.4i.
lie could not understand why he re-
ccived so little, ana upon making in
Quires it was learned that another
man had been to the company store
and ordered bill of goods amounting
to sl5.O6 The goods were loaded on
the delivery wagon and hauled up Ia
CayuSa street. When the driver in.
quired for John Kivdidis," another
fellow claimed to he the right man
and the goods were left in his care
in a small shanty.
As soon as the driver disappeared
the impersonator procured a wheel
barrow and hauled the goods away
The strangcst part of the whole thing
is that the man whose name was
used did not order any goods, neither
does he know who the fellow is that
obtained them. All he knows is that
he is out $l5.06.
The victim sought Alderman Kel-
lows advice in the matter yesterday
afternoon and brought it to the
attention of the store company
The latter agreed to make good
Kividids' shortage, and will also
make an effort to find the fellow who
impersonated him.

Assyriens in Trouble Again.

At the next term of court there will
probably he another case similar to
the one disposed of at the last term.
in which a dozen or more Assyrians
will apepar against each other. The
trouble revolves about Salma Zadie, of
9l6 Lonergan court.
The latter Is pretty widow, and
the trouble started on July 10. when
a group of her country men were hold
ing ono of their periodical seances.
At that time, the young woman was
seated in her quarters when there
came down from the apartments above
a quantity of beer which soiled her
clothing and otherwise dcspoled her
general makeup.
on July Is she appeared before AL
derman Kcllow and caused warrants
to be issued for the arrest of Thomas
Amane, Joseph Mozi, Calm Sarz and
Minmer Mansoor, charging them with
assault and battery The only evi-
dcnce adduced at the hearing was
from Amane who admitted spilling
the beer ON the young woman. but
contendcd that it was accidental. He
was held in 500 bail and the other
three were discharged.
ne OultDlllt III llllS was llldl seven
men Conspircd to ruin the woman's
reputation by alleging that the Rev.
Petris Asman was guilty of improper
relations with ncr and from the testi-
mony given, they composed a letter
which, it is alleged, was forwarded to
the bishop.
Upon learning this the priest had
warrants issued for George Nicholas,
Najab Youmis, Alias MackeOul. Joseph
Massaad, Thomas Amanc, KERN Saab
and Minmcr Mausooor, charging them
with criminal libel. There was no evil
dcnCe to substantiate the charge, and
the case was dismissed
Minmer Mausoor, of 9l6 Scranton
street, then had Rev. Petrs Asmar
and Sama Iadic, the woman, arrested
on charges of assault and battery and
making threats to kill him. There was
no evidence to show that the priest
had assaulted Mausoor and he was
discharged on that count, and held in
5000 bail for making threats. The cases
against the woman were dismissed
The priest has now begun an action
for damages in common pleas court,
as is reported in another column.
