BLACK HAND" AGAIN
BOMB EXPLODED IN A GOTHAM

NEW YORK, November 17-Several men

Pietro Realmutto's basement at SO Stanton
street this morning, while in the rear Real

and Maria, two years old were fast asleep.
when there happened something which up-
set the order and silence which reigned in
the big building.
The house had shaken as II 1t had been a
pepper cellar which some giant hand had
grpped. There had come at the same mo-
ment noise which had seemed to fill the
whole street Beds rocked, pictures were
Jared loose from their places on the walls.
and when the tenement came to a stand

The o'clock gun in the Brooklyn navy
yard had just sounded with a hollow boom
when the louder one came in Stanton
street. 1t seemed as If the malefactors had
adopted the gun In the navy yard as their
signal. Then the bomb was thrown from
the opposite side of Stanton street at the
delicatessen and macaroni shop Of Real
nutto.
The aim was bad, for the bomb flew
wide and landed with a sputter in the main
entrance to the big tenement The explo-
sion which ensued shook the east side for
mile around. The front door of the tene-

street was choked with dust and smoke and
the glass was still falling in a musical
shower. the big building became like so

wins his game by getting home sixty-one or
more points in his tricks depends on two
things. the suit and manner of its selection
and the number of trumps he holds. or does
not hold, in unbroken sequence with the
club jack. To the number Of this sequence
Is always added one for winning the game.
These two factors, the value of a trump
selected in a certain way and the sequence
of trumps. are multiplied together and the
product is the number of points won or
lost.
The Illustration.
To illustrate: Let us suppose that the
trump selected was club, which the player
named without touching the skat cards.
The unit value Of this game is twelve.
Let US suppose further that the player
held the jack of clubs and jack Of spades,
but that his opponents held the jack of
hearts. Then his sequence of trumps.

to WHICH he adds one for winning his game
The unit value Of the club solo, twelve, Is
therefore to be multiplied by three and the
player wins 3x12-S6 points.
Knowing that he was going to play a
club solo IL he was the successful bidder.
and knowing that he held two matadores,
1t Is obvious that he knew in advance that
his game would be worth thirty-sfx points IL
he could name clubs and win 1t: therefore
he was able to bid anything up to that
figure for the privilege of naming the game
to be played.
Had any other player offered more than
thirty-six the one with the club solo would
have had to stop bidding, because IL you
overbid your hand you lose what you would
have had to win to make your bid good.
When the player wins he wins from all
the others at the table, whether they hold
cards or not II he loses. he loses to all at
the table.

A MONSTER FRUIT CROP.
The Western Slope will Raise the
Greatest Fruit Crop in the His
tory of State Of Colorado.

statement regarding the fruit crop

inge season, stating that II would be
the best and biggest in the history
Of the valley. published in the Daily
Sentinel two weeks ago. reports re
garding the fruit crop in various sec
tions of the western slope have been
coming in.
The proportions of the great crop
of peaches. apples. pears and other
fruits to be harvested in the Grand
Valley. the North Fork country and
other districts of the western slope
can hardly be estimated.
Mesa County's crop will be away
and far the biggest in the state
Many think that 5000 cars is low
estimate. In speaking of the fruit
conditions on the western slope the
Colorado Fruit Grower has the fol
lowing to say:
The present indications are that
the fruit crop on the Western slope
of Colorado will be greater than If

RADIO fruit growing. Reports from
every section shows that the fruit
buds have escaped the winter and are
entering the spring in fine condition.
In the Grand Valley it is thought
that three thousand cars will be ship
ped while the North Fork country
will have in the neighborhood of one
thousand cars Of peaches alone. The
apple crop. in the North Fork coun-
try including that part of the fruit
section adjacent to the North Fork
will ship something like 1900 cars
of apples.
