When He Opens Up.
THEN CONES HANO-To-HAND ENCOUNTER
After Rolling over and Over I'm
CIinch store Keeper Gets Upper
Hand and ChOkes Bur-
EIar TO submission.

After a desperate struggle John Smith, q
member of the firm of Robert Smith & Brop
1903 Douglas street, captured J. J. Dolan, a
burglar, while the latter was breaking open
the cash register in the store. The discov-
cry Of Dolan and the fight between the men
occurred at 6 yesterday morning, when
Smith arrived at the store to open up for
the days business.
When Smith unlocked the front door he
saw Dolan in the rear part of the store
working with the cash register. AS he
walked toward the burglar the latter
stopped his work, but made no effort to
escape. Smith asked him what he was do
ing and how he came there.
II was locked in here last night an
swered Dolan. but don't say anything
quiet"
At the same time Dolan caught hold of
Smiths arm. Smith declined the invitation
to drink and told Dolan he was to be turned
over to the police.
mot this time" exclaimed Dolan, and
he struck Smith in the face and made a
rush for the front door. Smith gained on
him and the men clinched. They fell to
the floor and rolled over and over, scat
teTing vegetables, and canned goods and
other groceries over half Of the store.
When almost at the store entrance Smith
got his man down and called Justify for
help, The clerk from the neighboring
stores, who came rushing in, found Dolan
lying on his back on the floor, with his
tongue hanging down on his chin. Smith
was sitting astTide his chest and had the
man choked almost to death. Smith kept
his burglar in this position until the
police and patrol wagon arrived to relieve
him.
Dolan had torn the indicator from the
cash register by using a large cheese
knife. The blade of this he had broken
off and with the stub vas trying to pry
off the top of the register when dis
covered.
At the police station Dolan maintained
that he had been accidentally locked in
the store during the night. 1t is believed
he entered through the front transom.
This was left partially open and marks
were found on the sill, where someone
had crawled through. Dolan is short and
heavy set, and is unknown to the police.
He was unarmed. Smiths store has been
robbed three times in the last few months.

negotiations were carried on. The COM
mittee representing the swttchmen mas
been in the city only a few days ana Is
highly pleased with results. The Increase
will affect all yardmen on the road max
ing a total OF about 800 men.
The demands presented called for the
new scale adopted at Chicago and this was
conceded in every detail. It means prac-
tically a II per cent increase to all switch
men and their helpers on the Union Pa
CHS. Those working in the standard yards
will be paid for a ten hour day and those
in the intermediate yards for a Twelve

these yards work twelve hours a day. they
will get a proportionate rate.
The switchmen were given their increase
after one short conference yesterday
with Superintendent Buckingham. They
had no grievance 10 offer, save that they
thought they we're entitled to more money
The proposition seemed to appeal at once
70 the oficials and the committee came
away from headquarters building with the
assurance that their demands were entirely
satisfactory.
The switchmen emphasize the statement
that their relations with the officials we're
entirely amicable and most cordial, and
they express the utmost satisfaction with
results. They call attention to the fact
hat the Union Pacific is the hrst road to
ldopt the new Chicago scale.
The prompt action Of the Union PACING
In granting these demands has given rise
10 a suspicion that the severe strain OF the
present strike might have had some infu-
epce in shaping the compsny's attitude.
