PLEASANT PLAINS.

n RTSTNESS n

Simon BarkOWitZ, who opened an
ice cream parlor and bicycle repair
shop, in the Forester building the
first part of the week, complained to
the police that during the past two
or three nights several young men of
this place are trying to hurt his bus
mess by coming to his place and car
rying on and raising a disturbance
and also have gone so far as to insult
his customers who enter the store.
On Thursday night when he tried to
eject one of them from the store, by
the name of Abram Johnson, he was
set upon by him and knocked down
and held by the throat and if Barn
ard Long, who was in the place ut the
time, had not separated them he
might have done him bodily harm.
He also claims that during this
same night someone took a baseball
bat, some violin strings and some
souvenir postcards out of his window
and his gold watch that he had in a
chamois bag on a shelf is also among
the missing. During the free fight
that took place at this time an ice
pick that Barkowitz had in his hand
to defend himself slipped out of his
hand and crashed through one of his
large show cases. Several arrests
will probably be made shortly as the
police are going to put q stop to the
affair. They have the names of those
who are the ~ringleaders.

N&NP FFO0
Harry Lee, a Chinese laundryman,
discovered fire in a one-story frame
extension at the hay and feed store
of James LaForge, in Amboy avenue,
at 1890 o'clock this morning. The
Chinaman keeps a laundry next to
the feed store and was still working
in his place at the time.

ton of a policeman, who ran to the
corner of Amboy venue and Main
street and gave the alarm from box
35. The flremen, under the COM
mand of Lieutenant Oscar Hoefling,
of POI Engine, were quickly upon the
scene and soon had the fire under
control, but not until the building
and its contents were damaged to the
extent of about $500, which is Gov
cred by insurance.
The fire started in the rear of the
building and worked its way upstairs
to the apartments of ]. Belloni. His

Of Saturdays storm. The usual re-
suit followed the storm, that of the
trolley tracks being covered with
sand and gravel and n of the Key
port cars was thrown off of the track.
They were a long time clearing the
tracks before they could get back
again and on their their way to Key
port, but they succeeded at last.
