| Ine duties OIL George Dare, 1898
North Third street, are becoming
more exacting each day. Dare is bar
clerk at Simonetti's holte, 401 Ver-
beke street. At an early hour yester-
day mornin-just after midnight, to
| be exact-Clarence r. Hass, a husky
youth from Camp Dix, N. j., entered
the hotel and ordered a sandwich.
The sandwich, of the limburger va
riety, was served in due form. Hass
preferred sweitzer cheese, and said
so. The bar clerk, deeply grieved be-
cause of his inability to meet the
desires of his patrons, explained that
the cheese menu consisted of linn
burger first, last and all the time.
Thereupon Hass drew q revolver
and demanded that Dare change the
llimburger cheese to sweitzer cheese.
This Dare refused to do. The court
ruled that, because of the peculiar
construction of the limburger prod
uct, the clerk was entirely within his
rights.
Howard Brown. of S22 Clinton
street, was present, and induced
Hass to wait an hour or SO before
shooting up the bar clerk. Then he
went after cop. officer Kautz placed
Hass under arrest. He was charged
with carrying concealed deadly
weapon, and was held for court in
the sum of $500.
A quart of whisky caused
a near-riot across from the Read
ing depot on Tuesday afternoon.
The story was told in police court
yesterday, when Martin Longnaker,
of Reading, and Martin Root, of 4O3
Walnut street, were before Alder
man Lands charged with disorderly
conduct. Michael Eshelman was also
in the mixup, but Michael placed the
sum of $40 for his appearance, and
wisely failed to appear, as his friends
drew down fines of $25 each.
When Chief Wetzel called the
name of Thaddeus Toy yesterday
afternoon in police court, Toy, from
the recesses of a gloomy cell yelled
'here!" Toy will. remain in the care
of the city until his case is tried in
court. He is accused of having stolen
watch from a Mrs. Fisher, at 211
Mulberry street, in April. He con-
fessed the theft to Chief Wetzel when
apprehended by officers, few days
ago. Mrs. Fisher has gone to Georgia
for some months, and Toy will likely
answer there" for some time to
come. Bail was fixed at $500.
Arthur Graham, colored, accused
by James Telford, also colored, of
having robbed him of 81 in Van
Dykes poolroom, at Walnut and
Cowden streets, was unable to have
witnesses present in police court to
prove his innocence. Alderman Lam
dis had given Graham's attorney two
days in which to procure the wit
nesses, and yesterday held the ac-
cused man for court in the sum of
$500.
According to Telford, Graham
knocked him down, took his pocket
book, and after extracting seven dol
lars in bills, dropped the purse, con-
tanning one dollar, in Graham's
coat pocket.
Grace Lewis, colored, 1910 North
Seventh street, was in police court
yesterday because she possesses,
while drinking, a consuming desire
to carve up her friends with a razor.
William Christy, who is Mrs. Lew
is landlord, together with the wom-
ans husband, were living examples
of the manner in which Mrs. Lewis
handles q razor when in action. Mrs.
Lewis promised to abstain from the
cups in future, and Alderman Ian
dis returned her to her husband after
giving her some good advice and ex-
tracing a fine of $40.
John Ensinger. 2S12 North Sew
enth street, was held yesterday in
the sum of $500 for his appearance
in court on the charge of monopoliz-
ing to his own use the spare auto
mobile tires of the city--or at least,
a number of them. Ensinger runs a
| jitney. His method of disposing of
accumulated tires is believed to be
original. Two new tire castings were
found on each wheel of the jitney
| he was driving.
