writ ot pttachment, liad a wagon
Itacke-i to the door of the Sewaren

carted away $40 worth of ^rocetiee
foi which he alleged payment was
due.
There were 125 guejt.i at Smith's
hoiel over the week end. but all ex
cept the three departed before Mon
day morning. Kath had supplied
Smith with 140 worth of groceries
and fearing that the ravenous guests
might devour the edibles before he
could obtain payment for them, the
grocer went to the hotel early in the
morning to see Smith.
The proprietor, his wife and
daughter could not bo found on the
ground floor, so the irate merchant
went up stairs where he was con
fronted by the butler, who with a
chambermaid and the three guests,
seemed to be the sole occupants of
the hotel. When asked what he
meant by entering the hotel, Kath
replied that he wanted to secure pay
ment for his groceries and then it de
veloped that the hoet and hie family
had not been seen since 2 o'clock
Monday morning.
Upon noting the absence of the
proprietor, Kath went to the office
of Recorder Dunn, where he secured
a writ of attachment. Λ wagon was
th»n taken by the grocer to the ho
tel where the remainder of the gro
ceries were found and taken away.
Smith had a large number of
guests booked for the week end and
Labor Day, jut from the present
prospects the hotel will be minus a
host and "eats" when they arrive.
