If money, and the aggregate amount of
ash on the table before the nine di-

$500. The meeting was held in base

The regular meeting had adjourned
md Dominic Gapinski sat at d table
With his back to the door writing a re-
eipt for Michael Salaty, 742 Mitchell
treet, who had just made a payment.
Upon the table in the room stood the
sash box containing part of the money.
Sold pieces were stacked beside it and
liver and bills as we'll as checks lay
tbout. Around the table were grouped
he nine officers.
The door opened and three men stepped
nto the room. The oldest was not over
- years old, was of light complexion,
With light moustache, and wore a light
9vercoat and light hat. The other two
we're about 20 years old and smooth
aced. They wore dark coats and hats
suit no OvercOats.
Robber Clutches Money.
AS the three men entered the room,
ausing the assembled officers to look up,
me of them shouted in Polish: Hands
lp; sit down and be quiet" Gapinski,
however, did not note the entry of the
men until he heard the command. Even
IS the command was given one of the
rio, who was unarmed, reached forward
20 the box that lay open before Gapin-
Xxi, and began taking out the coin and
currency and thrusting it into side
pocket. When this process appeared to
De Iaborious he grasped the box and
went toward the door, his armed COM
,aniOns still keeping the officers covered,
closing in back of him.
In their temporary excitement, the
three men forgot that the door opened
inward and there was resultant cOnfu-
sion. During the few seconds in which
hey sought to gain hasty exit, Gapln-
ski gathered his senses and while the
others held their place at the table, he
eaped toward the man with the money
BOX, at the same time uttering exclama-
lions against their actions.
Treasurer Dies Instantly.
Gapinski had his hand on the box
when one of the protectors grasped him
oy the shoulder, pushed him against the
wall and at the same time held the muz-
lie of his revolver against his forehead.
IN the sight of GapinskIs companions,
the trigger was pulled; there was q lit
lie burst of smoke and the sound of
the victim falling The bullet had
crashed through the skull about an inch
above the right eye. Death came in
itantly.
While some of the stockholders rushed
to Gapinski's side, others ran up the
basement steps and gave the alarm. In

! BELOIT, Wis, April 6.-[Special. i
From now on it cannot be said that fam
ing red swears only at bulls, and arouses
them to anger. 1t seems, judging from
an occurrence in this city that roosters
have about the same taste in colors us
bulls, or else the barnyard bosses have
grown so intimate of late that they
understand, if they do not speak the
same language of signals. 1t is assured
that red to them means war.
When Mrs. Charles Reynolds of this
city sent her 3-year-old hopeful, Cecil,
out into the yard to play yesterday she
did not believe that the rakish little red

challenging pennant would provoke as
sault from her fowls. But that proved
to eveEtuate. Litae Cecil dashed down
the walk, and cluched once or twice III

latter spied him.
The cock did not rub his eyes or look
twice. The moment he piped the red
stocking cap, he ruf1ed his feathers like
an October grouse, and made leap for
Cecirs head.
1t was a one-siGed battle, the rooster
seemed to be an old hand in the game,
and he was not only routing the enemy,
and tearing down the colors which Of
Tended him, but was actually making
serious inroads into the anatomy of Ce

man can run three or four machines.
These little barrels are sold in
aggregate in great numbers, million'

ing concern buys them in carload
1000 gross, or 2S8,0O0 barrels at y
Great numbers are used by c0ntect

they are used to contain a bottle OF

Many are sold to be given away
fairs or in other ways, being filled
