Trouble With Owner of Building
Special to The Telegraph
Penbrook, Pa, June 17.-George v.
Hoover, Democratic postmaster of
Penbrook. assumed office yesterday.
He succeeds Edward J. Hoofnagle,
who was appointed three years ago
by President Taft. Mr.. Hoofnagle,
one of the most efficient men in the
towns history, had nearly year re-
naming on his term, but resigned be-
cause of i'll health. John Kichman,
who owns the building in which the
post Office is situated. declared that the
least under which Mr.. Hoofnagle had
taken the office was void and that the
post office would have to be moved.
When this demand was ignored, it is
said, he threatened to throw the fix
lures into the street. Shortly before
time for closing he walked into the
post office and refused to leave. Con-
stable Brenneman induced him to
move and further trouble was avoided.
1t is said that the lease was made
with the Post Office Department and
not with Mr.. Hoofnagle and has nearly
a year to run.

there was to shut MI his supply ~
