tween the II. II. Handy Drug company

were met by Attorney r. b. Comstock
armed with an iron bar.
The men DID not press the matter and
force OF policemen. deputy sherfrs and
rugged looking young men reputed to be
football players stood guard over the
premises.
According 10 Mr. Comtock the circum-
stances are as follows:
The Handy company has n lease
which runs for three years more. The
Harris people-the next store-have a
lease which expires on Dec. !. Both the
Handy and the Harris interests claim
that inasmuch as the purposes for which
the agreement was given are not now
the purposes OF the OGorman company
and the Mason company these parties or
their contractors have no right to enter
their premises.
THE John N. Mason Real Estate COM
pany. the lessor OF fhe O'Gorman COM
pany, then continued. and took away the
entire foundations OF the building, and
the walls. and commenced the erection
OF new building around the Handy
store. leaving the Handy and Harris
stores az n shell inside OF the new build
ing Again application was made TO the
court for an injunction ana the court dis
missed the application on the ground
that it was not proved that irreparable
injury would be done tho Handy com
pany and the Handy company has an
adequate remedy at law.
There has also a suit been brought
by the John N Mason Real Estate com
pany through the O'Gorman company,
against the w. w. Handy Botanic and
Drug company 10 eject them from the
premises. The suit IL returnable on the
sth Pending this suit attempts have
been made by the contractors OF the
John NJ Mason Real Estate company
and the OGorman company To force
their way into the premises for the pur-
pose OF setting posts to support the new
building. All these attempts have been
resisted by the Handy people. The
places the posts would come on the In
side of the Handy store have been bar
ricaded. Twice the Norcrocs men have
appeared IN the Handy store to tear
away the plastering for the purpose of
setting the posts, and twice they have
been politely, but very frrnly told 70
leave and have left.
The matter appears 10 have culmi'
mated yesterday. in tho attempt 10 place
the posts OF the new building In position
This would require the post TO enter
about or 6 inches into the Handy store
The police were notified that II any at
tempt was made to put this post into

Handy property, that the parties max
Ing this attempt would be resisted and
