KICKED AT TOO MUCH SCOT.
Chimney Inspector McEvOy Jumped
by the Brothers Hobbs.

An animated personal difficulty, in
which Chimney Contractor E. 7. Nc
Evoy got largely the worst of it. oc-
Cured at the corner of State and
Montgomery streets shortly before
o'clock last night. The other parties
to the difficulty were three brothers.
w. h, H.. and B. F. Hobbs. who live
in the house. renting a part of it.
The premises are rented by Mrs. H
Cook and a portion of them are sub
leased to the Hobbs. Mrs. Cook had
been placed on the docket for refusing
to have the chimneys of her house
cleaned and after a conference with
Mr.. r. II. Tatem, agent for the house
she occupies, and with Recorder My
rick, il was agreed that the docket
case should be dropped upon her COM
pliance with the city ordinance. She
was willing. and yesterday Contra Ctor
McEvoy and his forces appeared on the
scene to do the work.
1t was begun under fair auspices. but
had not far progressed when it was at
tended with disastrous results. The
chimneys had not been cleaned for
years and the scrapers hao Just well
begun when Two or three bushels of
SCOT were precipitated down the CHM
ney. penetrating the gunny sacks tack
ed over the fire places in the rooms on
the first floor. occupied by the Hobbs.
They made a disturbance al Ole.
McEVoy was told what the brothers
thought of him-and their opinion lost
nothing of its force in the telling. Dne
word led to another and finally TO
blows. Before the row ended McEvoy
claims to have been more or less pun
melled by all three of the Hobbs.
Mr.. Tatem, who was on the scene.
undertook to pour oil on the troubled
waters, but only succeeded in making
them still more angry. Patrolman Jer-
nigan was asked to arrest the Hobbs
and did so. The trio was sent in to
the station house, where charges of
assaulting McEvoy and beating him
and with resisting an officer in the
discharge of hla duty were registered
against them. They were NJ long per-
Int.ed to remain at the station house,
but were soon hailed out.
The row occurred in a much-fre-
quented part of the city, at time
when many persons were returning or
had just returned from their work. 1t
attracted many spectators and a great
deal of attention, and by long odds was
the most interesting event of the day
in the section of the city in which it
occurred. The rights and wrongs of the
matter viii be investigated this morn
ing by the Recorder.

NO SUNDAY BREAD.
Bakers Expect to Get All of Their
Craft in Line Against II.


Craft in Line Against 1t.
The bakers organization formed this
week will have another meeting next
Wednesday night. when it is expected
that all of the boss bakers not now
members of the organization will join.
Only about five failed to come into the
society when it was formed.
There are a number of matters to
come before the meeting and the chief
of them will be the effort to have the
sale and delivery of bread on Sunday
stopped. The majority of the bakers
stopped this practice a long time ago
and some of them have never kept
their places open on Sunday. Now
they want all to get in line and the
outlook is that they will do so.
The reasons given for this effort, one
baker explained yesterday, to be the
fact that the men employed in the bust
ness ought to have one day OUT of the
week, anyway, and said further he was
opposed to Sunday selling because of
the sanctity of the day. The question
of securing permanent quarters for the
society is another matter that will be
brought up at the next meeting. 1t is
possible that quarters will be secured
in the knights of Pythas Hail.
