DICKENS SAYS WILL
co TO HIGHER COURT
VICTIMS OF EVICTION PLACED
UNDER ARREST FOR
RESISTANCE.

Romeo Perry yesterday afternoon
took possession of the house he
claims to have bought several months
ago, and which has been occupied
since that time by suptenants who
claim they had prior rights
The possession was gained through
the Office of Sheriff Mercer. He and
his deputies went to the house, COS
North Seventh street, and after some
argument and many. threats from the
occupants. removed the furniture, and
were forced to place under arrest the
occupants. embracing Mrs. C. J.
Hughes, Mrs. b. P. Pitcher and
Charles c. Dickens. They were taken
to the First station and were later
bailed for their appearance in Police
court this morning, to answer the
charge of interfering with officers in
the discharge of their duties.
Mr.. Dickins said last night that he
would take the matter to higher
court, no matter what might be the
result in Police court today.
The trouble arose over the sale of
the property by another party while
the occupants had what they claim a
lease for a specified time. They would
not give up until all recourses had
been resorted to by the claimant.
The sheriff refused to take eject
ment steps until indemnifying bonds
had been produced. Counsel for
Perry would not permit his client to
give such bonds and then asked for
a. writ of unlawful retainer in the
Law and Equity court. He got what
he wanted, and the sheriff had to act
upon that.

win be UP to City Engineer Boiling
to tell the reason why.
The administrative board yesterday
left the whole matter in his hands,
and directed him to see that the frost
and SHOWS of the winter do not inter-
fere with traffic. II Is a foregone
conclusion that he will see that con-
ditions acceptable to the traffic pre-
vail.
Several days during the winter
teams have fallen on the bridge, due
to slippery places occasioned by frost,
and traffic has been delayed consid
