BARKEEP and His GUN
pECIuIAR EXPERIENCE OF TWO
YOUNG MEN IN j. f, GALL
NAGH'S SALOON
FACE A RIFLE THREE HOURS

Tom Cummings, the Bartender, Ac-
cused Them of Taking the En-
veIope Containing the Days Re-
ceipts-Kept Them Until u Police
man Arrived and Took the Whole
Party to the Station-AII Let Go.
Two young men, one of them clerk in
the freight offices of one of the railroads
leading into the city, and the other oc-
cupying responsible position with a
publishing house, had a striking adven-
ture shortly after midnight Thursday in
the saloon at S04 Rice street, of which
John F. Gallinagh is proprietor.
Both men were returning home from
the theater, and as they reached Rice
and Iglehart. streets, where Gallinaghs
saloon is located, they decided to enjoy
glass of beer On trying the front door
of the place they found it locked. A light
was burning inside and there were SOUNDS
of some one moving, so the side door was
tried Tom Cummings. the bartender, at
once opened the place and admitted the
men, though 1t was then considerably
after 12.se l@--s
Both ordered drinks and, in payment,
one of the men placed a gold piece on
the bar Cummings, the bartender. OBJ

was replaced with a smaller coin. Drinks
were served and paid for. but as the
callers turned, to leave the place. Cum
rriings made a movement behind the bar,
and called out:
''Wait moment Sac
The men turned around and found that
they were covered n with a Winchester
rifle.
The bartender then accused them of
having stolen an envelope containing the
days receipts, which, he alleged he had
placed on what is known as the back
bar" before serving the drinks. Utterly
amazed at being accused of theft the
men started to expostulate, but were cut
short with the peremptory command to
take seats on the opposite side of the
room. The bartender remained entrench-
ed behind his fixtures, and informed the
men that If they would produce money
to the amount of the alleged contents
of the envelope they would be allowed to
depart in peace. Both men Indignantly
disclaimed having tempered with the en-
velope supposed to contain the money,
ana refused ueclSlNoIy W give up money
for their release.
''You fellers can either shell out and
duck, or stay" was the only response
which they received and the rifle and the
barkeeper held the fort
This state of affairs continued until 8
o'clock in the morning, when Patrolman
Charles Gerber knocked at the door and
demanded admittance. The rifle disap-
peared and the bartender opened the

~spaniards with dires iptent All Of the
clerks in the seitY hall and court house
have since Maj. Libby's announcement
amused themselves by poking into the
orifice Of the cannon and specializing on
Its, contents. Indisputably 1t contained
something.
Mayor Kiefer. when consulted on the
!. subject, saidt II am unable to Do any
thing in the matter. 7 am an infantry
man. Maj. Libby is the only artillery
man in the building, and he will have to
be consulted
The major was unwilling to trife with
the foreign cannon. He declared that
the guns In the battery under his conf
mand could be unloaded easily enough,
All that was necessary was to dismount
them and tqfn them upside down and
the loads w9uld come out. With the
particular pisee Of ordinance brought TO
his attention Ahe case was different, The
charge had Probably been in SO long that
it had corroded and would not come out
by ordinary means. The major suggest
ed that as last resort the gun be taken
down to the river and exploded by cleo
trlc1ty. He was certain that there was
something insidesg because he had probed
the matter to ifs vitals and distinctly
felt something With his cane.
fhis lent no encouragement to Aid. Ed
Murphy, upon whose place of business
the gun is trained, and who was very
much In earnest In his inquiry into the
danger. His entpeaties at last prevailed
upon Col. George Gerlich, custodian OF
the city hall,S draw the charge, which
he did yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of Abstract Clerk John H. Schulze,
and Capt. Gallick Col Gerlich used a
garden rake in the risky work and drew
from the inner recesses of the gunlsa

eggs.
The eggs were of pinkish color and
about the size of goose eggs. They were

had the temerity to lay its eggs within
the Spanish engine of war; The eggs
will be sent to County Auditor Johnson's

Electrical Engineers Must Hereafter
Submit to Examinations.

The state electrical board met yester-
dar afternoon at the state house and ex-
amined several candidates for state GER
tihcates. Under the law all electrical
engineers now working in Minnesota are
entitled to a state certificate by the pay
ment of nominal fee, but from now on
no certificates will be issued without ex-
animation. -~--~--e
In all about 500 certificates have been
issued by the board to master cleo

vantage of the inducement offered for an
early compliance with the statute, but all
who have not qualified will not only have
to take an examination, but also have to
pay much larger fee.

entrance to the court house When the
gun first arrived, several weeks ago. it
was regarded simply as an object of
curiosity until Maj. Libby, who is an
artillery man by birth and habits, after
exploring the interior of the piece Of
ordinance with w. r. Johnson's cane,
established the fact that there was some
extraneous substance near the breech of
the cannon that possessed all the char
acteristics of five-inch shell. The news
spread rapidly that the gun was loaded,
and more credence was placed in the re-
port by reason of the fact that two guns
sent to the museum at Washington had
turned out to contain charges that had
been originally placed in them by the
