fatally wounGed.
The two robbers hired a room In the
block in which the gambling rooms
are located and for two days waited
their chance. They chose the time
when the gambling is about to close
for the night. Under the influence of
four big revolvers the crowd playing
mt the tables was ranged along the
wall, while the masked men appropri-
ated all the money in sight.
On the street below. within fifty feet

The police were within easy cali after
the men made their rush for hiding
place and the chase began. Ofiicer
Gemmrig sighted the men and a duel
began.
Gemmrig was the only man hit. The
robber with the smaller amount of
cash was located In a wood yard and
gave up. About $3.50 was recovered.
Gemmrig was resting easily tonight.

With a capital stock of $4O,OOO,OO II

more than 1000 patents. protecting
with many safeguards the bicycle in
dustry. not only the wheels themselves
but saddles, lights. tires and all acces-
sories and sundries. The company
also controls many foreign patents,
and the intention of the trust is to
give particular attention to export bus
iness. The reason for this Is the su-
periorty of the American machine and
that in the last two years the total eN-
ports Of bicycles exceeded in value all
kinds of agricultural implements, and
after iron and steel products came first
on the list Of manufactured goods ex-
ported. The domestic business IL not
