BULLET WHITES
over HEADS OF q
Men Sitting at Counter in
Bert's Cafe on Third Avenue
Startled by Shot.
THE ASSAILANT is KNOWN
Had Been in Cafe Short Time Before,
but Stay Had Been Peaceful
Lead Breaks Bottles.

-Four customers in Bert's cafe, Third
avenue east of Twenty-second street
had their midnight repast disturbed
somewhat Saturday night when a bull
let from the revolver OF an alien went
whiZZing through the window over
their heads and into a pile Of bottles
on a nearby shelf. To say that pande-
monium reigned for a while is putting
II mildly. There was a mad scramble
for a place OF safety, for the short
lunchers could not see their assailant.
Then, after a few minutes of quiet,
they cautiously peeked outside and,
when no one was in sight, beat it for
the exits and streaked up the avenue.
There was an effort 70 find the man
who had shot the bullet, but he had
made good his escape. Of1csr LLOYD
was on the job in a short time, but
too late TO find him.
KNOWS GUILTY PARTY.
Bert Duprez, proprietor OF the cafe,
says he knows who the guilty party
is, but can think of no reason for
the shot The man had been in the
cafe but a short time before, but his
stay was most peaceful. He had nc
trouble with the four men who came SO
near being victims OF his gun.

used between the car tracks. There.
fore, from Fourteenth street and Sec

and south TO Sixth avenue, wood
block will be used between the
tracks. The two different material:
side by side will give an opportunity
for fair test OF their durability.
TO SET CURB LIGHTS.
