OF PUNISHMENT
J. r. Breeder Attacks Tenant Again

$1,000 Peace Bond.

]. r. Breeden. landlord, proved
again last night that he can assim-
Hate punishment. He was beaten
I'D by Russell Whitaker and fol-
lowing the pummeiing was arrest
ed last Saturday evening.
The argument between Breeder
and Whitaker was over rent money,
which Whitaker claims he is un-
able to pay in full but which he
claims to be paying in small in
stallments as he can get the mon
ey.
Breeder was in Jail from Satur-
day night until Monday morning
for starting fight with Whitaker
in an attempt to collect the rent
by force. He was arraigned before
Magistrate d. J. Cleland on the
triple charge of being drunk, dis
orderly and assault and battery.
Although he started the fight, he
got the worst of it, and to top OF
the punishment for his offense the
magistrate assessed a fine OF SIS,
which Breeden paid. $50
Whitaker lives at Pill Fourth
avenue. and called the police at 6
o'clock last evening. telling them
that Breeder was threatening to
kill him, his wife and small child.
The police hurried to the scene,
but in the meantime the two men
engaged in fght and Breeder got
the worst of it. Whitaker charged
in police court this morning that
Breeder had thrown several heavy
articles at him and had threatened
him with an AK. However, Whita-
ker said that he was able to halt
Breeder before the landlord could
strike him with the weapon.
Put Under $1,000 Bond.
Breeder retained Harry NJ. Nc
Caskrin to defend him. The attor-
ney had his client released on fur
nishing $1,000 peace bond.
Whitaker says he has been out
Of work for months and that he
has been having serious difficulty
in getting money to buy food for
his wife and child, while he has
been getting along with little food
for himself. whatever extra mon
ey he can obtain he has been pay
ing Breeder, and has receipts to
show, he claims.
