Ixzy Has His Troubles.

Isadore Schwartz who works for A.
Barancik the second hand dealer on
New York avenue came running into
the police station late last evening
in very excited state. When he
reached a chair he sat down In an
effort to get his breath before telling
his troubles to the policeman. Ser
geant Collins who was in charge was
very anxious to learn what all the
excitement was about so going over
to where Schwartz was sitting he said:
What is it Iz5y?" This broke the ice
and he answered by saying TT isn't
he 1t Is a she" He then
proceeded to tell how he had a stove
sitting out in front OF his store and
girl whom he though about thir-
teen years of age came along and
pulled over the stove breaking 1t bad
~. Izzy took up chase and followed
the girl down ST. John street where
she suddenly disappeared from view
and he had to give up in dispair and
reported the matter to the police.
There is very little chance of finding
out who the offender Is without some
other description but Schwartz said
he intended taking the matter up with
Mayor Smith.
