CRAZY MAN
SHOOTS UP PARKERSBURG FROM ROOF
OF BUILDING.

Armed with double barrel shot
gun and supplied with enough ammu-
milton to put to fight Nicaraguan
army. Ben Goldstrohm, more COM
monty known as Sky held at bay
a small army of police officers and be-
tween two and three hundred people
on Sunday evening, from the roof of
two story building on lower Juliana
street, where the Goldstorhm family
have lived for some time.
Sky" who is said to be mentally
unbalanced, which condition of his
mind was aggravated by an excess
amount of booze, went up on the roof
of the building a little after 5 o'clock
in the evening and began firing shot
gun, puncturing the air over his head
md he is also said to have pointed
the gun up Juliana street and fred in
that direction several times.
Naturally many people were at
tracted to the scene of activity and
with them about ten of the members
of the police department. A number
of those who rushed to that section
and finding out what was going on
hid in stairways and around the
corners of buildings and once in
while would peep out to see what was
going on.
The police officers who gathered
got their heads together trying to
figure out some course to pursue to
capture the young man, but later all
admitted that they were ''bufaloed''
for the reason that any straight out
attempt to go on the roof and arrest
Sky" would simply have meant to
take their lives in their own hands.
After the one man army had held
the fort for over an hour two ofhis ac-
quaintances, Otto Schultz Jr., and
Charles Renfcth, decided on a plan
whiched worked his undOing. They
secured bottle of beer and made
their way up to the roof of the build
ing and induced "sky" to take
drink from the bottle, which invita-
ton was accepted and he laid the gun
down.
When he did so one of them grab
bed up the gun and hurriedly made
his way down of the roof closely fol-
owed by the other. In minute or
two Goldstrohm also decided to get
down of the roof and when he got
down in the building he was over
powered by two or three of the Off
GERS and was marched to the country
Jail. Several officers followed to keep
the crowd back.
