, deem the ticker. I knew he was
good when he first came in. It is
an .old watch and not worth the
money, but he wanted $40 and when
l saw him l knew he would never
quit until he paid it up. Watches
like that, with a sentiment back of
them, If you get them from the
original owner, are the best kind of
security. But you want to be sure
and get them from the original
owner. Now. this fellow comes
every month to pay the interest,
and he always wants to see the
watch and look it over and then he
goes away satisfied If anything
should happen to that ticker l don't
know what he would do.
Yes, we run against a lot of this
kind of sentiment in this business"
continued the shop keeper. Here
the other day woman came in
hunting for frame, little imita-
ton silver affair, which she said
her husband had sold with other
household stuff to get money to buy
beer.

A NEAR
TRAGEDY
IN STRIKE

Friction between operatives from
the Swain and Thiele detective
agencies, working about the Dav'
export restaurant during the strike
of the cooks and walters unions
came near resulting in tragedy
there last night, when J. r. Nelson,
manager of the Thiele force, is de-
clared to have drawn gun on
Jack Cooper of the Swain force. II.
l.. Blake, proprietor of the Elite
Dye Works at S159 Stevens street,
was but a few feet away at the
time and, though intended to in
timidate Cooper, it's muzzle was
leveled directly at Blake, when
Cooper sprang upon his opponent
and prevented him from shooting.
In the struggle, the hammer of
Nelson's gun was snapped down
upon the fleshy part of Cooper's
hand, between the thumb and fore
finger, badly cutting and bruising
it. Officers Lewellyn and Downey,
who were present, took charge of
the gun, but no arrests were made,
both refusing to take action until
a complaint was made.
This trouble gave to the public
and to the officials of the striking
unions the first intimation that
any of the employers had brought
sleuths into the fight against the
six-day week demanded by the
strikers. Only a few of the res
taurants about the city have signed
up for the six-day week.
