.SALOONKEEPER
ADMITS GUILT
John Skrocki Held for Grand
Jury for Assault.

John Skrocki, a Pole, thirty-eighs
years old, who keeps a saloon at 626
State street, was arrested yesterday
and arraigned before Recorder Henry
w Kehoe at 7 O'Clock last night on
a charge of hitting Mike Askoylcs
over the head with a club. The
liquor dispenser openly admitted his
guilt and was held to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. He was re-
leased In the custody OF his counsel
Thomas Brown.
According to the testimony, the
case was one of a number that have
occurred of late wherein saloonkeep-
ers have taken the law In their W
hands and with disregard for the
statutes have used clubs, knives,
pistols or any other weapon that
came to their hands. In this case a
heavy club was used, such as a mum

The weapon is exposed oftentimes,
but the name In which it is occa-
sionally used is direct violation of
the law for the saloonkeeper often
times becomes more dangerous
among a crowd OIL NE III MS pace
than a desperate armed character
would in a crowd on the street.
In the case in question, Skrockt
and Askovics, with others, were play
ing pinochle in the formers place
Tuesday night. The testimony show
ed that Skrocki thought Askovics
vas "skinning" and reached over
and gave him a hard slap in the face,
at the same time emitting an oath.
Askovics naturally became enraged
and made a move to return the at
tack. He left the place. however,
and while on the front step of the
saloon claims he was hit over the
head with a heavy club In the hands
of Skrocki. When Skrocki wac seen
with the club Askovics picked up a
chair to defend himself. but was
knocked senseless, he declares, al
most before he knew what he vas
about.

OLD SAMOAN MATS.
Precious Heirlooms That Are Treas
ured by tho Natives.

AFeO ny INo EaEiNeS"
Among the curious customs of the
Samoans is that of making heirlooms
Of mats. BY some simple process of
reasoning the mat has come to be iden.
tilted with the family, as the hearth
stone Is additionally sacred among the
Saxon race.
The Samoan mats are really fine
specimens Of art. The people esteem
them much more highly than any ar
ticle of European manufacture, and
the older they are the more they are
regarded. Some of them have names
known all over the Samoan group,
The oldest Is called Moe-e Fui-Fui, or
The man that slept among the creep
ers." 1t got this title by reason Of the
fact that 1t had been hidden away for
years among the creeping ~convolvulus
that grows wild along the seashore. 1t
Is known to be POO years old, as the
names of It's owners during that pc
Rod can be traced.
The possession Of one Of these old
mats gives the owner great power-tn
fact, it is a title deed to rank and prop
erty, from the Samoan standpoint, says
Harper's Weekly. 1t is no matter II
the mats are tattered and worn out,
Their antiquity IS their value. and for
some of the most cherished of them
large sums of money would be refused.
