stated that he believed the raid was a
put-up job to run him out of BUSH
ness.
When the wagons drove up said
Adjourn, Il thought they were after
ice, and told them that l had none, but
they started to take my coal, and when
l objected the inspector gave me a
rough shove. and then one of the
policemen grabbed me by the neck and
another one struck me On the ear, and
three or four more jumped on me and
handled me roughly. / told the in
spector that when 1 received the notice
| sent word to Commissioner Augustus
Eggers, who viewed the place, and
when l told him thai If it was removed
before I could make other arrangements
the plant would have to close down,
he informed me that I could keep the
II l cut two feet off the front. This 1
had done Immediately.
This Is all a put up job, and l will
fight 1t to a finish. The move was to
put me out of business. my stuff being
removed In the wagons belonging to
the Union Ice Company, with which my
firm is competing. I told the inspector
that l would deposit $500 with MIN on
the spot, to be held as a surety, and
that l would obey the law II he would
not take the coal away but allow 1t to
be taken to my coal yard, where /
could get 1t to use in the plant. He,
however, refused, with rough language
and actions. When the police grabbed
me l had S142 in my hip pocket, the pay
of some OF the men. and when they
got through with mi and took me to
the station house the honey was gone
Adjourn was fined 500 yesterday
morning by Judge Herr in the Fourth
Precinct Police Court for violating the
city ordinance.
For some time superintendent Ship
has been receiving complaints
from the residents of Hayes street,
near the ice plant, regarding the OBJ
in front of the factory, claim
ing that agon were almost constant
ly being backed up, and that the space
not used by the t%ailboards of the wagon
was INSTRUCTED by the coal bin, which
runs along the building about twenty
feet, and extends four n one-nail
feet on the sidewalk, having a height
of about five feet and a capacity or
fifteen tons.
Some time ago a ten days notice
ordering him to remove the bin was
served on Adjourn, but he made no
move to obey the order. Saturday
Inspector Hanle went to the
place and told him to have 1t removed
or the city would remove 1t for him..
The owner of the plant is said to nave
retorted that he had a permit to main
the bin.
At 9 o'clock Saturday the inspector
appeared on the scene with a numper
Of wagons and a dozen men, guarded
by Patrolmen Laubenstein and Dixon'
and started to tear down the bin. A
big crowd gathered, and Policemen
Diebold, Umias, Lomox, Tnorn-
and Fitzsimmons, whose posts were
were summoned to keep the
throng in order and prevent a possible
resistance from the employees OF the
ice plant.
Al this juncture Adjourn appeared on the
scene and ordered the Inspector to call OH
his men. stating that he had a permit. The
paid no attention, but ordered
the men to keep on shoveling. with the
result that the proprietor is said to nave
enraged and to have attempted 10
lead the horses attached to the wagon
they were loading from In front OF the
f factory. with the result that he was taken
In custody by the police after a sharp
struggle. In the fight one of the horses
became frightened and started to run
away, stampeding the crowd.
1t was u o'clock before the job was
completed. and. whiis Adjourn reposed In
a cell in the Fourth Precinct, his coal
and wagons, which were standing on the
street, we're removed to the city stables.
The plant closed for the night, and 1t
was late today before operations were re-
Nor does this incident draw the veil on
the troubles of the Ice company. Three
of the fremen went on a strike Saturday
because they were forced to work twelve
hours instead of eight, and were out two
hours before their demands were ac-
ceded to.
