Central Park Ho|dup' by
Sextette Of Autoists.
Five Men Run. Over Companion
In Effort to Escape Police.
The Affair May Have Been Planned
Merely As Practical Joke.

New York, Nop2 15:EA hold-up by
six men in an automohile in Central
Park. West. early today cost one Of the
automobilists his life. He was run
down by It big touring car when the
hold-up men were n,aasing a dash for
liberty and so severely hurt that Re
died in hospital soon afterwards
without regaining consciousness. The
dead man was Wiggo Brandt, a chauf-
feur, 81 years old.
The police believe that the hold-up
was intended merely for prank by
half a dozen chauffeurs who We're re-
turning from ball in Harlem. ON ac-
count of the death of Brandt, however,
the police now are seeking the other
occupants Of the car.
The victim Of the hold-up were Mil
ton Roblee, hotel man. his friend
w. q. Chittick and a cabman who was
driving the two men to their homes.
They were driving along Central Park
West, when at 70 street an automobile
containing six men appeared in sight.
AS it neared the cab the automobiles
stopped and three of the six men jump
ed out. Two Of them jumped to the
Lox of the cab while the other ran to
the horses head.
The cabman'S cries for help brought
Il policeman to the scene and as the
three men in the automobile saw him
coming they shouted a warning to their
companions. The latter three ran to
get into the automobile and two Of
them had succeeded in doing 50 when
The big machine was sent away with q
jump. Brandt, who was standing on
the step, was thrown heavily to the
ground by the sudden starting Of the
car and a rear wheel Of the automobile
passed over his body. His companions
fled. leaving him unconscious. He
died without giving any information
about his companions.
At Brandt's boarding place it was
learned that his mother had come here
from Connecticut yesterday and the
young man had planned to begin house,
keeping within a few days. His prop
erty at the boarding house had been
packed up preparatory to the removal
to the apartment where Brandt and his
mother We're to make their home.
The men who were in the machine that
killed Brandt were found today m an up
town garage where they were employed
as chauffeurs. They declare that the
whole trouble was due to the action OF
the cab driver. who snapped his whip in
Brandt's face as the two vehicles passed
each other in the drive. The machine
was turned about and all the men in the
automobile took part in stopping the cab.
they say When the policeman appeared
on the scene they thought it best TO let
the matter drop and so jumped into tho
automobile and hurried away. The men
were held in $500 bail for examination to-
morrow by the coroner.

MARKETING LIVE POULTRY.
Some Points to Consider to Secure the
Best Returns.

In all large cities there Is constant
demand throughout the year for all
kinds of live poultry. A large proper
the Jewish trade, as orthodox Jews
will not use meat Of any kind unless
1t is killed by certain method under
the direction Of rabbi. Each large
market has a slaughter house, where
animals and birds are slaughtered &C.
cording to these prescribed rites. The
best prices for live poultry are secured
at the time Of the Jewish holidays. the
dates of which vary from year to year.
They can be ascertained through any
commission house or dealer.
Occasionally the price Of live poultry
is as high ~ for dressed stock. and
under these conditions 1t is waste
of time to dress the birds before ship
ment. This 10 particularly true II the
market is near at hand, as the birds
will not shrink much when being
shipped but e. short distance.
For shipping live poultry to market
well-constructed crates are particular
ly desirable. says the Montreal Herald.
They should be of SUFFICIENT size to
avoid causing discomfort to the birds.
yet small enough to permit easy hsnd-
ling by expressmen and others. Long
crates should be equipped with solid
cross partitions to prevent the birds
being thrown together at one end
when the crate is tipped In handling.
Failure to observe this simple precau-
ton often results in the loss OF a num-
Der of birds in each shipment. All
crates should be thoroughly ventilated,
as In crowded express cars they are
frequently piled one above another.
and many birds are smotherec in this
way.
