MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. Ivy Yesterday af-
ternoon John Laubenheimer, formerly of
Milwaukee, but now of Hartford, Wis, was
here and shaving draft for $500 to cash,
got his money. Then Laubenheimer started
to go to the Union depot to take the train
for Hartford. On his way he was met by
Rudolph Bierbach, son of Eerbach, the car
riage manufacturer. Young Bierbach greeted
Laubenheimer and asked him into saloon
to get drink. Attention was called to a
three-card monte game being played.
Bierbach pretended to bet against
the game and Won. Then he
wanted Laubenheiner to bet, but he re-
fused. The monte dealer pretended to lose
to Bierbach, and finally said that he would
not make another bet less than $1,000.
Bierbach then wanted to borrow money
from Laubenheimer, claiming that if he had
SO more he could make the bet. Lauben-
heimer drew out his roll of $500, and in
stantly Bierbach seized it and ran. Lauben-
heimer started to follow, but was collared
by the saloon-keeper. He broke away and
put out after Bierbach, and finally overlook
him in an alley back of the building. Sud
denly he was assaulted by two or three other
persons, one of them proving to be
a brother of Rudolph Bierbach, Frank,
and George. Laubenheimer was knocked
down, but regained his feet, broke
away from his assaiants and again started in
pursuit of Rudolph Bierbach, who had fed
up West Water street. He chased Bierbach
into the wholesale liquor store of John ALI
son, Jr., and then Allison struck Lauben-
heimer with mallet and knocked him down.
Bierbach was finally captured. OF the $500
he had grabbed 1926 was recovered. The
authorities succeeded in arresting Rudolph,
George and Frank Bierbach, John Allison,
Jr., James Noble alias Snapper, Johnny the
monte thrower, and Clarence Petit. The
arrests have caused great excitement, espe-
cially that of Allison.
