they met again when the work on the

Counting Heavily on the Outcome Of

NEW YORK, March 14-Stimulated by
the vigorous directions of Governor OGcII.
who says that in effect he advised Sheriff
Dixie. OF Kings county, to take Gulen
by the scruf of the neck and throw him
OUT of the sherid's office to which he
persisted in clinging. Colonel Dixie took
summary possession Of his office this
morning. breaking down an intervening
door and turning Guden out.
The only violence eNCrted by Colonel
Dixie was the vigorous direction Of his
boot heel against the door in question
This energetic action on the part Of
Sheriff Dixie did not put an end to the
struggle for the shrievalty. 1T least
Guden did not think so. for when he went
away he told some Of his followers that
he would be back. and he was relying
heavily on the outcome Of the proceedings
in the Brooklyn Supreme Court before
Justice Gaynor, who had ordered Sheriff
Dixie 10 appear before him at 1890 O'Clock
this morning and show cause why he
should not turn over 10 Guden such Of the
