BAKERS AT PLAY.
Called 1t "Cook," but 1t
Was Faro.
Twenty-Five BreadmakerS Pass the
Night In the Old City Prison.
Their Resort Raided.

Police Sergeant Whitman paid visit to
the Bakers Home at 645 Clay street asst
night that will long be remembered by lie
proprietor and his patrons. The home is a
saloeD and lodging.house where German
bakers seek solace and repose when their
tasks are done. The steam beer is SHARP,
the glasses are large and the pretzels are
crisp. and as if these were not enough to
make a weary breadmaker Danish the
cares of the day the proprietor erected an
altar in his saloon for the worship of the
goddess Chance.
The game that he and bis patrons played
Is called ''cook" by the German bakers,
but when Sergeant Whitman saw it played
he declared that it was nothing more nor
less than simplified faro-faro, with all its
excitement and opportunities for losing.
1t was IL o'clock last night when the
tall sergeant strOlled into the Bakers
Home and cleft his way through a dense
cloud of tobacco smoke to the table at
which the bakers were sitting. There was
twenty-five of them. ihe keeper of the
house and the dealer. Without word Of
apology he seized the dealer, "the kitty''
and the keeper. Then he blew blast q n
his whistle and three officers who had been
left outside did the rest. They sent for
the patrol wagon, and after closing the
doors placed the players in a row against
the long counter and took their names.
The wagon carried three loads to the
old City Prison, where they were booked
for visiting gambling resort. Some of
them looked upon their arrest as a good
joke. and wondered what their employers
would say when they found their ovens
empty and their shops deserted. Others
biasphemed with fuency and vigor, and.
IKE their American brethren when caught
In scrape. threatened 20 make things hot
for the police.
The bakers were packed into the "hole
IN the wall, where they will remain until
they are able to furnish bail to the amount
of $40 per capita.
The keeper, Henry Schweim, and James
Stratton, the dealer. were required to give
ball Ia the sum of $3.50 each.
