7welve Rounds Fired at Short Range--.One Robber
Evidently Hit---Four Houses Robbed in One Night
and Between them fire -Four Hundred Dollars Jtol-
en---N0 One Yet Arrested

From the East End grocery the
men went next door to the East
End butcher shop and forced the
screen doors. They secured about
20 cents in money, but repeated the
same performance about taking eat
ables. They helped themselves to
all the meats and eggs they thought
they would need for the trip, which
it is supposed they were figuring on
taking. Sixteen strips of bacon, 10
pounds of sausage and a basket
containing five dozen eggs were put
together but not taken away. 1t is
supposed by the police that the
men might not have been scared
away from the East End grocery
and the meat market, but had the
stiff packed up SO they could get it
after finishing the Job at the Divi-
sion saloon. 1t must have been
about 2:30 when they left the mar
ket.
The blowing of the safe at the
Division saloon was done in a very
few minutes. Whether the men
were experts or not is a difficult
question. The work was done neat
ly, but the fact that the men left
the window blind down so that any
one passing could see them makes
the police believe them to be anna
teurs.
The first man who discovered the
robbers in the saloon was Frank
Harvey, who was coming west on
Sprague avenue. Had Harvey used
his head, the place could have been
surrounded and the men caught. He
saw them at work at the safe from
the window, which the men neg
lected to cover with the shade, and,
instead of calling up police head
quarters, he ran down the street to
secure policeman. The first man
he struck was Officer McQuillan,
who fastened to the scene of the
robbery. He saw the men running
on Sprague avenue and took one
shot at them.
A good description of the men
who came to the saloon at IL
o'clock was obtained by the police
and the force has been hunting for
them all day. They have several
good clews.

for the trial, be finished before OK
pense of keeping grows any larger.
Attorney N. e. NuZum objected
to the bald excusing of the wit
nesses in the second conspiracy
case inasmuch as some of them
were to be witnesses for the de-
Tense in the arson accessory case
now on trial.
Judge Carey ruled that the Dali
ton case should follow the arson
accessory trial against Messner, and
excused the witnesses in the Sec
ond conspiracy case until further
order of the court, provided that
they had not been summoned as
witnesses in the arson accessory
case.
The work of selecting a jury was
then commenced. 1t is expected to
take all day. 1t is also expected
that the trial of the arson case will
consume four or five days.

The reports showed that from all
four places about $40 had been
secured in the four raids.
Undoubtedly the first place the
men entered was the Ideal laundry.
Here they took a sledge hammer
and, breaking In the door, gained
entrance. The cash register was
broken open, but nothing secured.
After searching for money in the
drawers, the safe, which was not
locked, was opened. Owing to the
fact that the safe was blown about
year ago, nothing is kept in it
but a few books which the robbers
examined and threw on the floor.
From the Ideal laundry the men
went to the East End grocery. The
entrance here was made through
the front door. The glass in the
right hand door was broken out.
They first went to the cash register
where they secured about SO cents.
The drawer of the register was not
locked but in their haste the men
used a sledge hammer. The i'm
preston in the lock is the same as
that in the door Of the Ideal laun-
dry, SO there is no doubt that the
same men did the work.
The men went to the safe and, u.s.
ing a hammer, knocked the lock
off. They secured $12 in cash.
While the men were working, it Is
supposed that the lookout discov-
cred someone was coming, for the
men left six bottle of pper sauce,
three hams and a few bottles of
Lee & PERKINS, sauce at the back
door. This is the second time the
store has been entered within the
past two weeks.
From the eatables which were
laid out it is supposed the men were
going to get out of the city by
wagon as soon as they had finished
their work. The store is owned by
o. Hammerland.

A pistol duel, which, for nerve,
rivals anything in Spokane police
annals, occurred last night at the
corner of Sprague avenue and Divi-
sion street between Officer Jillsett
and four supposed yegg men who
had just finished the job of blowing
the safe in the Division saloon, 10
Gated at that poin.
Twelve rounds were fired at the
officer who stood his ground and
returned round for round. Blood
tracks from the scene Of the duel
would indicate that one of the Of.
ficer's bullets had taken effect.
At about IL o'clock last night,
Peters, one of the proprietors of the
saloon, was startled by man en-
tering his place and saying: "If
had a gun l would hold up the
whole - place" Peters offered
him a gun but the man laughed and
went out. Peters was worried, and
when Officer Jillsett came along he
told the story. The officer thought
there would be something doing
later, and went back every Is or
20 minutes. He kept lookout for
suspicious characters, but none
were to be seen.
He kept on his beat till about 3
O'Clock, when he went again to the
place. He was about hundred
feet from the door when he heard
someone say, For Gods sake hur-
ry up. Here comes that - -
policeman" Jillsett opened fire at
the man and the shots were re-
turned. He was standing in front
of the saloon under the light, shoot
ing at the dark outlines of the
robbers while, the men could see
him plainly. That the officer did
not get hit Is miracl Twelve
times were the shots exchanged
while he stood ground.

PAT LIVINGSTONE
OF Wheeling Team Sold to New York
Americans.

Wheeling, w. Va, June 23-"Pat"
Livingstone of the Wheeling Central
league team, who was the star back
stop of the Akron team last year, and
who has been leading the Central
league this year in hitting, figured in
one of the biggest deals that Central
league team ever committed with a
bigger organization. Livingstone was
sold last night to the New York team
of the American league for $4,000 He
will join the team Immediately. For
some days past Livingstone has been
enjoying a rest at his home in Cleve-
land, owing to bruised finger.
The entire Wheeling team hate to
see the jolly Irishman depart from
their midst, and he leaves with the
best wishes of the entire crowd.
Wheeling fans will miss him and his
effective hitting.
Financially, Livingstone figured n
the deal to the extent of getting $3.50
of the price to which he was sold to
Clarke Griffith's Yankees. He has a
contract with the New York team for
$3.50 month.
w. w. Irwin secretary and treasurer
of the Wheeling team, gave out the
statement tonight after the deal was
consummated that Charles r. Raedel
of Canton, secretary of the Athletic
club there secured the services of Liv-
ingston for Wheeling at the start of
the season. Buff" Ehman was also
secured by the club through Raedel's
influence and in measure so was
Burt Biery, the Canton fielder, who but
lately joined the team and is now play
ing third base.
