AN IRATE LANDLORD.

Landlord Reed of the Nowels House was considerably pat oat at the treatment reoeived from the Chicago football team that played here Thanksgiving. Two players were hart in the game and be allowed them to be pat to bed in the best rooms in the house. The other boys attended the dance, or a part of'them did, and. as they intended taking the early train for Chicago next morning, said they did not want to go to bed bnt would sit up so they oonld be near the boys who were injured. Mr. Reed told them they might remain in the hotel office if they would be careful and not make a noise to disturb the other guests. This they promised to do, and were left there.

The next morning he found they had *been out after oysters which they had eaten in the offise and helped themselves to dishes from the dining r6om, scattering dishes and fragments from their "feast” all over the room. Beer and whiskey bottles were also scattered about and the room presented more the appearance of having been occupied by a parcel of hogs than human beings. To add inanit to injury, two bed comforts and three pillows and pillow-slipe were taken, Mr. Reed says. One comfort and one pillow and slip were sent back to him by express “charges collect.” As they paid nothing for the beds occupied by the injured players the landlord was naturally muoh put out by the way the boys treated him, and he had an attorney write the principal of the school they were from regarding payment for the comfort and pillows that were taken.
