“Captain Beatty, the well known dealer in ties, owns property at the corner of Eighth and Gay streets, which just now happens to be vacant. Tuesday the Captain sent Henry Long to the house to make needed repairs. Long got in all right, but on trying to enter a certain room upstairs, found it locked. Thinking something was wrong Long rattled the door quite vigorously. Pretty soon it was opened and a redheaded individual made his appearance. He cheerfully explained to Long that he was an M. D., making a specialty of corns, and possessed a medicine that was guaranteed to cure under all circumstances. In his search for patients he had come across the Beatty house, and thought it would be much nicer to sleep there than pay a hotel bill. So he had effected an entrance through the window, made himself comfortable, slept soundly—and there he was. Now, what was Long going to do about it? Long promptly ejected the M. D., and Captain Beatty has called the attention of the authorities to the matter.”1
