TORE HOUSE DOWN
OVER HIS HEAD
Louis SkIut Awakened by the
Noise of Falling
TimberS

Sounds resembling those made by the
Pygmies in the historic Catsldll noun
tains when they rolled beer barrels
down the side of a mountain and which
noise awakened Rip Van Winkle from
his twenty-year sleep. awakened the
family Of Louis slklut Of No. 1O3-l05
East Front street, at o'clock this
morning.
But there were no dwarfs that Great
ed the rumbling sound on Front street,
but the noise was due to the deter
mined efforts of force Of men, under
the direction of Isaac Henry. colored,
who had been instructed to tear down
the house over Skluts head, and who
were carrying out the orders given
them.
Some time ago a condemnation COM
mission appointed for the purpose Of
assessing the valuation Of property and
fixing damages for the destruction Of
property incident to the widening of
Front street from French to King on
the north side Of the street. inspected
the housts Nos. 107 and 105 and award
ed the owner of them, John Beckley
$4,000. Th2- properties were tenanted
by Sklut who used It as a secondhand
store, and it was the intention 20
raze them as soon as his lease ex-
plred, March 90 Sklut was noted to
this eect but failed to move on the
required time end was given a few
days grace. Yesterday morning he
was again notified that he must get
out unless he wanted the house torn
down over his head. He failed to DO
this, however, and without consulting
him further Contractor Kane, who had
the contract for razlng the buildings,
directed his men 10 90 TO work to-day,
They did so. and at an early hour
at that. as even before the sun had
shown its face workmen were on the
roof Of the Sklut residence.
Soon shingles were dying in every
direction. boards were tumbling down
into the street and dust was falling
into the doElioile Of the Skluts Then
1t was that Louis realized that there
was something doing and decided that
It was about time for him to move.
Within an incredibly short space Of
time there came trooping from the
houses a string OF ducks and chickens
cackling and squalking in utter amaze
ment of what was taking place. Soon
membF=s Of the family began to ap-
pear carrying with them articles Of
furniture. The pounding on the roof
still kept up and the shower OF dust
still continued to pour down.
Finally, after several hours Of hard
work. during which there was much
wrangling and confusion, Sklut got the
greater portion Of his goods out and
moved them to a store on King street
above Front.

parent that jealousy was the cause Of
the crime and said that the dead boy s
sister was the girl connected with the
case. She was with her brother the

coroner said there had been several al
teroations between soldiers at Fort
Dupont over the girl and he believed
that the man who did the shooting was
inspired by jealousy but whether the
bullet was intended for the girl or orc
of the two soldiers who were talk

fired he was unable TO say He did not
think the bullet was intended for Ser
geant Blackburn.

What Was Loft.

''Mostly Of Chicago" is the way a
man described his residence. His char
aOterization seems reasonable. When
be was six years old, he cut OF one Of
his toes with a scythe. When he was
eight, he shot of two joints of one Of
his fingers. He ran away from home
when he was fourteen, and the frost Of
a winter night took OF three more toes
and the tip Of his nose. At twenty-five
he lost his entire right foot. A drunken
half breed bit of an ear In the Klon-
dixie, a Dakota corn shelter took his
left forearm, and since then he has lost
three fingers, joint from another I'm
ger and one eye.-Youth's Companion.
