CAUSED TROUBLE
OFFENSIVE CIGAR DRUMMER
ROUTED BY A CUSTOMER.
LEAVES SAMPLE CASE BEHIND
Appealed to Detective Murphy With
a Hot Air story-The Fly Cop Was
Wise and Called the Bluff-Custo-
mer Demanded an Apology-Mat-
ter Amicably Settled.

A short, nervous man. with the vision
OF one eye shooting off at an angle of
45 degrees and the lower end Of his
pantalOons worn into a Nv" shape from
long and continuous contact with his
unpublished boot heels, appeared at tie
police station today and asked to see
Detective Murphy.
Il am a cigar and tobacco peddier
and l represent well known house Of
Oregon" said the little fellow when
escorted into the presence of the big de-
tective. II certainly have a grievance
against citizen of your town, Mr..
Officer, and if you will give me the re-
quired lift I'll make things square with
YOU" and out went the young mans
chest.
The detective, without showing any
signs Of recognition of the peculiar COM
plainant, asked, whats the matter.
Shorty? Been selling cigars without a
license?"
The pedler tumbled at once to the
fact that the officer was next to him,
and he pulled in about four yards Of
tape When he had squeezed himself
down to his normal size he continued:
We'll, on the dead, Murphy, 1 am W
against it.. You can't pinch me on a
charge of that kind this time, for I've
been touched for my sample case and
the man who done me said he would bite
piece out of my hide. if I showed up
again. I only tried to sell him line Of
goods and he remarked that if didn't
carry my 'sheeney' face out Of there he
would assist me to the door in a hurry"
Il concluded that the fellow was bug
house and expressed as much when
he started after me. MY case was heavy
and the man was a good deal larger so
l got. 1 dropped my case and the fellow
took it. I don't want to go back alone,
so you come along, old man, and get
the case"
The detective followed the little man
to tobacco and confectionery store on
Park street, where the case was recov-
cred. The proprietor of the place said
that he did not intend to harm the ped
dlar but that when he told him he didn't
want any of his goods he became abus-
i've. He ordered him out, he said, and
followed him to the door, where he
dropped his case. He would not give up
the case until the man apologized, he
stated, but Detective Murphy persuaded
him to surrender the grip.
