No one was home and the door was padlocked on the outside. They pulled the hasp with a crowbar and started putting the furniture in the street as ordered by the magistrate's order of eviction. This was listed as the home of FRANK MC MULLIS. but after they had removed approximately one half of the furniture, an unidentified woman who was drunk and yelling and swearing said that this was her furniture and not to set it out. She picked up a hammer and started after the people moving the furniture, but the deputies told her to leave and she did. During this time, another drunken Negro female identified as POLLY GRAHAM, came in swearing and yelling but she also left. The deputies advised they started to move the cook stove, but could not do so as it would fall apart so they left it in the house. They then went to a house at the corner of Locust and 16th Streets, with papers for eviction, but found there was a drunk blind elderly Negro man in the back room. He had apparently accidentially kicked over a portable oil stove as there was oil on the floor and the house was full of smoke, The deputies advised they set the stove back up to insure there was not a fire hazard and told him of the eviction, but as he was old and blind, they did not evict him and told him to find a new place to stay as they would have to come back in a few days and evict him. 58 Fee RN eee
