Hanse P. Xieman, a grocer with a
place of business on Avenue M near One Hundred and Fourth street, protested so vehemently last night against paying a commission to the South Chi
cago agency on a claim that he had collected himself after placing it with
an agency for collection, that Manager J.
Curtin was obliged to order him from
the office of the agency in the Davis block. Herman Dorneden, a friend of
Nieman took up Nieman's cause and at
tempted to assault Curtin in the hallway of the building. Curtin, in defending himself against Dorneden's at
tack, struck the latter a blow that hurt his feelings more than anything else. Dorneden swore out a warrant charging Curtin with assault, and the case will be thrashed out before Judge Girten In the South Chicago municipal court.
The trouble arose over a claim for
the payment of a grocery bill against
a resident of Hegewisch that Xieman
placed some time ago with the col
lection agency. Suit was begun and
Judgment secured by the agency
against the debtor, and an execution
placed with a deputy sheriff and a levy
made upon the real estate of the debtor in Hegewisch. Before a sale was made it was found that the amount of the bill had been paid in full to Nieman. Manager Curtin claimed a collection fee for his services and also made a claim for the amount of the costs that had been created in bringing the suit.
Nieman refused to pay either commis
sion or costs, and visited the office of
the collection agency last evening to
adjust the matter. Dorneden, who ac
companied him, played Hogan's goat and butted in when the trouble was practically over.

Chicago and Mudland Railway company and 70 shares of the Chicago General Railway company.
Mrs. Bouney alleges that Bryant se
cured her stock in the two railways
upon his representations concerning a
plan to reorganize several street railway companies. The companies in
volved in this reorganization plan were the Chicago General Railway company, the West and South Towns Street Railway company, and the Chicago Midland Transit company.
Mrs. Bouney states that Bryant pro
posed, as a means of accomplishing the reorganization and subrogation, to
utilize the articles of incorporation of
the Southern Street Railway company
as a holding company or as co-trustee with him. She further alleges that Bryant represented that the holding company had no outstanding debts of any kind and that he controlled its entire capital stock.
The plaintiff says that Bryant caus
ed himself to be made receiver of the three companies and then passed over the assets to the officers of the Southern Railway company, who, the bill states, were acting for, by, and under
the direction of Bryant.
