GARBAGE COLLECTOR
SUFFERS A DRUBBING
Magistrate Sustains Fresh Air
Lover, Who Chastised Pro-
fame Collector of Refuse

A breath OF pure air Just before break
fast is appreciated by the average man
with red blood in his veins.
John Doughty, who is 81 years old, is no
exception to the rule. He flung open the
door of his cozy home at 1910 Page street
this morning, looked up at the golden sun
and was about to breathe In the ozone
when his optimism froze within him. Be-
fore the door was a decidedly unpoetlc-
looking garbage cart.
The air was Immediately charged with
FUMES to which those OF the trenches
would have been sweet lavender. And the
driver of the wagon-Frank Muckel-
frowned at Doughty with an air of de-
fiance.
Take II away" demanded the man at
the door with a voice of horror Muckel
declared that he had to stand somewhere.
You won't stand here" said Doughty,
and, despite the fact that he has an ar
tihcial leg, grabbed the driver by the neck
and landed several solid punches which
put him down almost for "the count" In
the midst of the hostilities Policeman
CHM arrived and requested the combat
ants to accompany him to the Goth and
Berks streets police station.
The language of Muckel was in keeping
with the wagon he drove, Doughty as
serted Magistrate Grelis was of the opin-
Ion that a wagon load of odors deposited
before mans door in the morning JUS
tilted the action taken by Doughty, and
he held Muckel in $500 bail for a fur
ther hearing.
