A desperate duel to the death was
fought during the attempted hold-up
of a saloon at Sixth and Brannan
streets shortly before o'clock last
night between an ex-policenan and
one of the robbers. After sixteen
shots had been fired; the body of
Frank Burke. an ez-convict, one of
the men who tried to hold the place
UP, was stretched hfeless on the op-
posite side of the street. An hour
later George O'Connell, the ex-police-
man died at the Central Emergency
Hospital from bullet wounds inflicted
by Burke. Steven Lynch and Louis
Delstour. who were also, in the sa-
loon, lie at deaths door at the hos
pitsL Michael Kennedy, another Gus
toner of the place, was slightly
wounded.
Burke and 4 companion wearing
masks. entered the saloon. which is
owned by John O'Connell, and de-
1nsnded that everybody throw up
their hands. For answer George
O'Connell started shooting, and the
revolvers of the two desperate thugs
rang out simultaneously in reply.
Burke. who had entered the saloon
from the Sixth street door, staggered
across the street after exchanging
shots with brave O'conneil. and fell
dead in his tracks. His companion
kept up the fusillade. shooting at the
other men in the place till his revolver
was emptied. Then he disappeared in
the darkness, leaving behind his three
victims.
The attempted hold-up and the dead
ly result formed one Of the most re-
narkabIe and thrilling incidents Of IT'S
kind that has ever occurred in the
history OF this city. But for the cour-
ageous spirit displayed by the valiant
cx-policernan it is likely that the two
hugs would have succeeded in robbing
.he place and making their escape.

Several of the men in the saloon

down Sixth street staggering as he

went chuckling OF among the

Ten minutes later the boy ap-
peared again and, going mp to the
other Englishman, offered another
handful Of rubbish, among which
was the same rare Metropolitan

bronze in his hand and offered a
half dollar for it. which the boy re-
fused. though the bargain was
