@ LEAVES HOSPITAL
Christ Brittschneider Receivers Rapid
ly and Is Sent to His Home.

Christ Brittschneider, who was shot
in the attempted hold-up of the Jantz
saloon, University and Grotto street,
Monday night, has recovered to such
an extent that he was permitted to go
to his home yesterday. Brittschneider
was anxious to leave the hospital, and,
as his only danger is from a possible
infection of the wound, his request
was granted
1t is admitted by the police that
there is no great hope of arresting and
convicting the men who committed the
crime, unless the criminals furnish the
clue. The descriptions of the men are
so meager and unsatisfactory that 1t
would be impossible to have them
identified if they are arrested. The
efforts to locate them will be continued.
