IN THE CEMETERY.

Then the grave robbing scheme was
preached. The man thought it a capital
idea and a mighty good way to earn pile
of money. "Pard, / can give you some
points on raising 'stiffs,'" hesaid to Davis.
Pm an old hand at the business and no
one can do better piece of work in that
line than l can" So the preparations
were completed and the two waited for
nightfaIl. The town jokers also got ready.
In due time Davis and his friend went to
the cemetery with their tools and rigging
and commenced to work.
BY way of depression IL may be stated
that twelve or fifteen fellows supplied
themselves with white sheets and revoivers
and also went to the graveyard before
hand. Each one threw the sheet about
him and hid behind a convenient grave
stone In the midst of the resurrection
proceedings-of course it was on a mound
prepared for the purpose that they oper-
ated-these figures would rise up stimuli
taneously and with a series of unearthly
yells would fire of the blank cartridges
with which the reyolyers were loaded
The committeeman would beg his friend
the tramp to fly fer his life, and in every
case heretofore the tramp had dropped
spade and tackle, and with yells outlying
the ghostly sppsrition would take 10 his
heels and get him out OF sight as far as hi.
legs would carry him He would never
come back again, and that was the way
the town got nd Of its tramp visitors and
had heaps Of fun in securing that result.
But VIII Davis tramp was another kind
Of breed When ne had dug big hole and
seemed 70 be IN fair way Of reaching the
buried treasure the figures rose up accord

rolled over and exclaimed: "Ob, | nj shot.

revolver from each OF his hip pockets and
began TO fire, directing bis bullets where

fired real balls, and DAVIS said that La
could hear them ringing against the grave
stones, and he trem5lsd for the safety Of

A POLICEMAN'S FATAL SHOT.
HIS LIFE THREATENED BY A LIQUOR

EAST SIDE AND THE OWNER OF THE PLACE
AND HIS FRIENDS RESISTED
LIVELY FIGHT FOLLOWED.

Michael Dulko Slav, who keeps barroom and
lives at No 294 SeconG-st, was shot, probably
fatally at twenty minutes past O'Clock last night,
while resisting Policeman John Foster, of the Thir
teenth Precinct who tried to arrest him for yio-
lating the excise laws.
The hquor-shop is one of the kind scattered
throughout the East Side, and was patronized
mostly by Bohemians. according TO the police.
Yesterday the law was being openly violated there,
and shortly before the shooting occurred. Morris
Jacob of No. 12l Rivingtonst.. walked III through
the open front door He was followed by the
policeman, who was dressed in plain clothing
The officer knew Jacob, and for the purpose Oh
securing evidence treated him TO a glass of beer
taking one himself After the payment which he
made had been accepted he arrested Dulko
This was the signal for an assault on Jacob.
whom Dulko evidently took for spy, and he and
the only guests in the place, three in number. beat
and kicked Jacob till he was almost insensibe.
Then they turned their attentions to Foster, the
policeman, who had vainly tried to aid Jacob,
and Dullso attacked him with big beer glass.
The other three men aided DullSo, and gradually
drove the policeman toward the door.
When they got him where they wanted him
they jammed him tightly between the door ana
the wall and while some Of bis asSallantS
held the door so that he could not helr himself
the others struck at him and attempted TO lnJure
him in o. brutal manner Thinking that his lie
was in danger, ne pulled his revolver and, point
ing it around the outside of the door, he Tired
through the glass three times. As he could noo
see the men who Were attacking him from his
position, he does not know which shot took effect,
but one of the three shots struck Dulko in the
abdomen inflicting a serious wound.
Policeman Farrell, Of the same precinct, now
appeared and helped Foster When he entered
the place. he says Foster pinioned in the grasp
of man who held him tightly from behind. 1hls
enabled Dulko, despite his wound, to escape from
! the rear, and hide in grocery next door. lie
was caught there He walked to the ponce
station, and from that place was taken to Belle
vue Hospital in an ambulance. The Coroner was
sent for late last night, 10 take his antemortem
statement. One of the men engaged in the as
saut was also arrested lie gave his name as
Rudolph Philippe.
Foster the policeman, is small man, whlls
DullSo is a large man, weighing about 23O pounds
lie has bad reputation. On June 8, 1890, Oihcer
Farrel was assaulted by him and his guests IN
TRYING to arrest him for violating the excise law.
The policeman was attacked with billiard cues and
chairs, and had to draw his revolver TO get out.
Nothing seems TO have been done about this case
except to hold him In 800 bail. Foster s
record is good. He has been in the precinct ever
since he was appointed on November %, 1889.
