POLICEMAN MIKES IN HOLDUP
Takes n shot at Robbers and Appear
Rnces Indicate lie Hit One
of Them.

The saloon Of John Bush at 26O1 South
Thirteenth street was held up last night
by two men, doubtless the same who
worked so successfully Sunday night, but
this time a new element, Policeman Tom
Ring and his revolver, entered the game
when the holdup was just nicely started
and saved $3.50 for the house and the
private purses OF the individuals who were
present.
At about IL O'Clock Bush. H. W. Roche OF
1917 Cass street James Lynch, living at
Twelfth and Martha streets, and John Erv-
ing, from Twelfth and Bancroft streets
were sitting at cards in a corner OF the
room. Joseph p. Wagner Of 251S South
Eleventh street had Just dropped in to get
china pitcher flled with beer. Police
man Ring who with other officers had been
detailed to work on the saloon holdups,
was also in the room and armed.
He had been looking at the cards on the
table and glancing up saw two men with
white hAndkerchiefs on their faces on the
point of entering the front door. Ring
ran out the side entrance, followed by
Wagner. The policeman slipped around to
the street entrance and, looking in, found
one OF the men taking the money from the
cash register, while the other kept the
card players with their arms up. Taking
deliberate aim Ring fred, the distance be-
ing about twenty feet. The man at the
register either jumped OF staggered and,
dropping some silver, cried Back up!''
Ring then ran to the corner of the build
ing, where he had command Of the two en-
frances. and waited for a shot. At this
moment he saw man running across the
street with something white in his hand.
Thinking that he saw one OF the holdup
men with the white mask in his hand. Ring
let fly and dropped his man. 1t was Wag-
ner with his china pitcher. He was hit
on the ankle Joint, but the ball glanced
without doing much damage.
While this episode was being acted the
robbers ran out the side door and turning
10 the rear and not toward the street, ran,
in the shadow Of the building through a
small gate in the back into a blind alley
and from there south to Twelfth street.
P. A. Bruechert OF 261S South Twelfth
street. hearing the shots, opened his door
and saw two men running past. Just op-
posite his house one Of them fell, but, get
ting up again, ran on.
The man at the register had already taken
Ss3 when the policeman fred He left
1880. No stains OF blood were discernible
"a the building. but careful search failed
to disclose any trace of the bullet. No ac-
curate description was obtained Of the
men. but TIE police are satisfied that they
were the, two men who perpetrated the
former robberies.
