SIMMERS KNOCKED DOWN.
Ho Had an Exciting Experience at
Reading Recently.
Robert M. Simmers, deputy food
commissioner who pays frequent visits
to this cltv wns a prisoner for half
an hour tho other day In a Reading
restaurant. While on a hunt for olco
he entered 'E. M. Ruppert's at 143 Penn
street, nnd ordered a sandwich. He
found tho butter in it was oloo, ho
says, and aked Ruppert whero it wns
bought. Ruppert declined to tell him.
Simmers picked up somo of the oloo
from a pinto and slipped It Into his
pocket. Then Ruppert, it Is alleged,
grabbed Simmers by the shouder,
knocked him down and carried him in
to the back room, where he made him
sit on a chair and threatened to do
him worse harm if he should try to get
away. He demanded that Simmers
give back tho butter, but Simmers re
fused. When at last released Simmer? went
to District Attorney Rothermel and
with him proceeded to on alderman's
office, whero a warrant was sworn
out for Ruppert's arrest.
