KosoLT HAS HIS TROUBLES.

Only the summoning Of patrol wa
Yon of police could cause Miss DECKER
son of 435 Atlantic avenue, to open her
home TO the constable of the Second
CITY court, who wished to take away
her furniture on a writ of seizure. The
constable went to the house and knock
ed. Receiving no answer, he forced
the door open, stumbling as he did so.
As he recovered he gazed into the muz-
zle of a pistol held in the untrembllng
lands of Miss Dickerson. The officer
made a move for his gun, but the lady
had the drop on him, so he beat re-
treat. A hurry call was sent in to the
Eighth Precinct station and squad OF
police rushed to the scene.
With the arrival of the officers all
was quiet. Backed up by the blue
coats Kobolt again went to the house,
this time with better success. His
only danger was from tongue-lashing
from the irate woman.
Miss Dickerson this morning gave
her version of the treble she had yes
terday with Constable George Kobolt,
of the Second City court, who came to
her home and broke open the door in
order to serve a writ Of seizure on the
furniture for rent, issued by the Ideal
Homestead Company.
The constable came at IL O'Clock"

anted to read to me. ! told my broth
er to tell him to send 1t back to me
and would read it, as l wasn't able to
come to the front, but he wouldn't do
SO and went off. 1 was Ill at the time
and very busy, SO couldn't see him.
Didn't Know They Were officers.
About o'clock he came again with
a wagon and a negro to take away the
furniture. My brother was standing in
the yard when Kobolt came on the gal |
lcry, and asked him what he wanted.
They would not deal with him, saying |
that they must see me. Hearing a |
knock on the door, was coming |
through the house to answer it when /
heard one of the men curse my brother |
very Wiley and say at the same time:
Give me the gun; If you won't shoot
him I will So picked up an old pis-
toll lying near and went into the front |
room. Just as l got there the door |
was burst open and saw the constable |
and Chas. Butler, who had been watch

nize Kobolt as an officer of the court, |

rageously. Why, saw no papers until
the furniture was out of the house,
when the constable read the writ of
seizure to me. That man is not hon. |
orable; several times he has proposed |
to me that when he served a writ on |
me should not notice 1t at all. Then
another would have to be issued, and
would have several days longer, while
he would get dollar for serving it.
He told me 1t won't be any trouble for
you, and will be some money for me-"
The constable, George Kobolt, denied
the woman's charges.
