A BARTENDER FIGHTS
EIGHT MEN IN SALOON

CHICAGO, April lin a desperate bat
tie between a saloon keeper and eight
drunken .marauders at a. m. today, two
men were shot and two others badly
wounded, which later led to their arrest.
Others were hurt, but escaped.
The affair occurred in Michael Adono-
VICES saloon, in a lonely spot on the
South Side. The saloonSeeper was about
to close his doors when eight men, carry
ing revolvers, entered. Two Of them COW
cred Adonowicz with their pistols, while
another pair started to open the cash reg
lister. Other members of the gang helped
themselves to whisky and cigars.
Adonoyticz undaunted by the pistols lev
elIed at him, seized a heavy bottle from
the bar and assailed his captors with
vigor so sudden that both were stretched
out in trice.
Then Adonowicz, maddened at the sight
of the looting, snatched revolver from
a third robber and opened fire.
Michael Bensley, one of the intruders,
fell with bullets in his hip and abdomen.
Bensley's companions Immediately re-
turned the fire. The scene had become
one of general riot. Chairs were hurled
through the windows and the bar wrench
ed from its fastenings. The bullets flew
wild, but one of the robbers put Adono-
wicz hors du combat with a blow on the
head.
Charles Ashmus, living over the saloon
attracted by the noise, rushed into the
street just in time TO meet two OF the
highway men who were leaving the place.
One of the men promptly shot at him. The
bullet inflicted a scalp wound and knock
ed Ashmus senseless. The men took 81
from him and departed.
When the police arrived all but Bensley,
who was unconscious on the floor, had
fled. Later Herman Polehl and Joseph
Polaczynski, supposed to have been the
men who held up Ashmus, were arrested
Both men were cut and bruised from the
blows of Adonowicz's bottle.
Adonowicz and Ashmus were uncon-
scious, but were easily resuscitated. The

A TEST CASE.

| Albert Donovan and A w. Heideman,
two statesmen representing the T. A.
| Chapman Co, of Milwaukee, were
arrested in this city Saturday. The
charge against them was selling goods
without the license required by the city
of transient merchants Last winter an
ordinance was passed by the city coun-
| ell which requires that all agents sell
| ing goods iu Wausan, representing out
side merchants who pay no taxes in this
city, hawkers, peddiers, etc, shall pay
license of S25 each day, and also pro
yides heavy penalty for disregardine
the ordinance. These two men wera.
selling goods in the BELLS House sam
pie rooms, and in court stated that they
came here with the expectation of being
arrested and had made arrangements
with their house for legal defense
Upon their arrest they plead NOT guilty
and gave bond in the sum of 800 for
their appearance Monday morning for
hearing and teiegraphed the house
for an attorney.
| Each of the gentlemen have violated
the state laws of 1891 in reference TO
peddlers, etc, in the fact that they also
made a house and house canvas and
sold wares, aud actions have been bes IN
against them under these statutes a,so
The gentlemen appeared before the
court yesterday morning as diJ also Il
representative gathering OF business
men The former stated that their
attorney could not appear before
Wednesday morning, and they there
fore asked q continuance until WedneS-
day morning at 10 O'clock, which was
granted.
This case will attract some attention
for on the result depends the future
course Of agents of foreign merchants
in cities like this Several times have
cases like the present one come up and
when there was any fight shown by the
foreign dealer the case was dropped 1t
Is understood that such action will not
be taken with the present one. The
Chapman people are determined not to
be scared out, and the attorneys for the
prosecution will endeavor to determine
whether or not the statutory law and
the city ordinance will hold water, and
therefore the case viii be pushed to the
end. and may wind up in the supreme
court
The agents that are parties to this
action claim that the wares they are
selling does not in any way conflict
with the trade of the home merchant,
for they are of class not kept in stock
in any of the stores of Wausan. As
point for argument it is also stated that
they have as much right to sell here as
has foreign fur or cloak dealer TO
exhibit and sell his goods for period
of a week or more in any of the local
stores without paying license fee.
1t is hoped that the home merchants
will be able TO win in this action and
stamp out this sort of miserable deal
ing practiced by foreign merchants.
