AT the conclusion of the play. and after
the curtain had been raised several times,
the audience refused TO leave their seats

words.
Mr.. Wyngate responded to his name in

but a very small margin of profit Now,
when the price of beef is raised from to
10 cents a pound 1t makes considerable
of difference to them"
MANY of the regular beef customers
have stopped buying beef and are resort

PITCHPORK and CLUBS
TO RESIST EJECTMENT
Thompson Family, of Over
land Inn, Rout the Law.
Negro Marshal and His Deputies Armed
With Writ Driven to Cover
by Tenants.

shotgun. pitchfork, and numerous clubs
figured conspieuously In a free-for-all
light which occurred about 12 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon on the Overlook Inn
estate. when Marshal Charles E. Hughes.
colorcd. assisted by four deputies of his
own race, endeavored to serve a writ of
e1ectment on J. F. Thompson, a we'll
known resident of that place.
The odds against the Thompsops were
great, there being six men in the attack
ing party, while they (the Thompsons,
numbered but two men and a woman.
Despite this, however, the deputy mar
shal, his assistants, and the policeman
were driven off the place and the writ
was not served.
AS result of the affair the members
OF the attacking party, it is said. have
discolored optics and badly torn clothes
while Marshal .ughes suffers from a
scalp wound.
Roughly Handled.
Badly disorganized and feeling anything
but in a pleasant mood, the minions of
the law retreated to Anacostia. The DO
lice are endeavoring to locate Daniel
Thompson.
The writ of ejectment was issued in this
city by Judge E. NJ. Hewlett yesterday
morning, the cause of which has not been
ascertained. The Thompsons are well
known in the vicinity OF Anacostia. and
have resided at Overlook Inn for years.
There are but three in the family-John
F. Thompson. who is employed as a black
smith In the Government service; his son
Daniel. and wife
The writ was turned over to Hughes.
and that official at once marshaled his
force. When the party arrived on the
scene the Thompsons had barricaded their
home. Seeing that it would be useless
TO parley, Hughes sounded the charge
and the officials charged the house
