ROBBER OF GAMBLERS
WOUNDS PATROLMAN

A robber entered a gambling room
conducted at 80 South Sixth street.
shortly after midnight this morn
ing and ordered all present to
throw up their hands. He grabbed
$l3 that lay on poker table and
backed toward the door, firing several
shots to intimidate the gamblers.
Patrolman James Nolan, who was
passing below. heard the shots and
rushed UP the sairs. When near the
head of the flight the robber appeared
and fired at Nolan while attempting to
pass him on the stairs. Nolan fired in
return and rapid exchange of shots
resulted.
Nolan was struck in the head by
one of the bullets and another lodged in
his back. When the man passed him
on the stairs he brought the butt of
his revolver down upon the officers
head. INJECTING bad wound.
After disabling Nolan the man rush
ed into a saloon on the street floor,
owned by Frank Mccormick. He or,
dered Mccormick to throw up his
hands. In answer Mccormick drew a.
gun and fired, the man returning the
shot, which struck the wall, and
glancing off, hit Mccormick

MAY HIT THE PIPE
Monaghan Passengers Nicely
Arranged for on Minnesota

Like all other liners used In trans
pacific trade in which there are ac-
commodations for Chinese passengers,
the big steamer Minnesota, of the
Great Northern, will have an apart
ment where the Chinese may smoke
opium.
The Minnesota has quarters for 1 900
Chinese, and as all Chinese smoke
opium habitually, with very few
marked exceptions, some provision has
to be made for them
1t is we'll known that the Chinese
know how to use opium without abus-
ing it. and live as long as any other
race in spite of the habit In San
Francisco, where there are nearly 3d.
600 Chinese huddled into a small area
few of the Mongolians are arrested by
The police for opium drunkenness.
The drug said a Great Northern
official, "does not seem to affect them
the way it does the lighter races. If
the opium habit was prevalent among
an equal number of whites there
would be no end to the rioting and
disorder
Individually, too the difference is
very marked. A white man loses self
respect, desire for cleanliness and
about every other virtue as soon as
he is stepped in the drug, but a Chi
nese can smoke it every day and at
tend to his business without loss of
time"

TELEPHONE PEST
i BUSINESS TRIAL
Holds Long, lnaHe Talks With
Friends Over Ticket Office
Lines

"One of the trying things of working
in city ticket office,'' said a general
officer of one of the ST. Paul lines yes
terday in telling what nervous,
nerve-racking business his was, lis
the good old telephone pest.
L know that some OF the lines rather
invite tn use of their office phones by
outsiders but 1 could never see it that
way. People wander into the offices
and when "ennui'' claims them for its
own they pick up the telephone and
call up their friends to tell them what
dull time they are having or to dis
cuss the weather or some phase of the
political campaign
Just as the officer finished his little
speech a tall, thin individual walked
into the place. He glanced around
and finally heaved long sigh and
seated himself where his feet would
catch the women patrons as they came
in and out of the office. He sat there
and gazed at the ceiling, and then
slowly arose and made for the tele-
phone.
One of the clerks of the office beat
him to it and for perhaps a minute
conVerSed with the general offices on
q matter Of business.
When he hung up the receiver the
long person with an -aggrieved express
sion of countenance at being deprived
OF its use. snatched it off the hook and
called for number.
Presently he received an answer and
then followed an inane conversation
that ran something like this:
Is that you, Josie 2"
Josie apparently answered that it
was, and in reply put a question touch
ing the identity of her interrogation.
why it's me- smirked the tail man.
Don't you know me?"
! Josie didn't, and he continued:
Mono, not Jack. You know me
now don't you? Well, well, 1 thought
you would know me.
NO, that's bum guess, too. How's
Mary and Cousin Johns bad eye?n
This sort Of thing was kept UP for.
about ten minutes In the meantime it
became necessary for the office to COM
munlcate with the depot to give some
information to the agent there con-
corning reservations in one of the
Sleepers that was just going out. 1t
was a hurry-up job, and the pest stood
there asking silly questions of Josie
until the city ticket agent gritted his
teeth.
Finally one of the clerks was sent
across the street to use the phone of a
rival line and the tall man and Josie
were allowed to continue their edi-
flying conversation.
That's what 1 wanted to saw"
snorted the general officer That's
the point wished to make. Wouldn't it
hurt YOUR feelings ?''
