HOlDUP IN ST. PAUL SALOON.
Plain Clothes Man Is Shot Three
Times But Is Expected to
Recover.

st. Paul, Minn.-Two robbers were
shot dead and another fatally wound
ed, dying, the result of sensational
saloon holdup and revolver battle at
8 p. IN. in ST. Paul. 1t was Chief
OConnors answer to series of rob-
berries in st. Paul that challenged the
recent crimes in Minneapolis for bold
ness
Detective Paul Gottfrfed. VINO. with
detective John Mckinley. had been
assigned to watch Stephen McDon-
ough's saloon at Rice and Sycamore
streets for bandits, lies at st. Joseph's
hospital with two bullet wounds in his
right breast and one through the
mouth. Physicians concur in Gott-
fried's own hope of recovering, ex-
pressed in walking to the ambulance,
when he said, We'll, Doc. they didn't
get me-
The dead bandits are: Alexander
Charlton, SO years old, Dellmore ave-
nue., st. Louis, Mo-; Charles D. Car
son, Winnipeg and an unidentified
man about so years old.
hO uSI0CIlfSS, COuCcdlcu IN AH dill
teroom in anticipation of holdup,
watched the robbery and while Colt
fried slipped out to block their escape
from the front door, Mckinley opened
fire. 1t was returned with a hail of
bullets, the signal for hasty ducking
behind the bar and other furniture by
saloon patrons.
1t was very like half dozen other
robberies that have taken place in the
Twin Cities in the last week, but with
a different outcome. Chief O'Connor,
against the judgment of his staff, sta
toned 40 policemen and detectives in
plain clothes around various saloons
and stores in outlying centers of the
city.
sup With Your Arms"
Gottfried and Mckinley went to Nc
Donough's saloon at p. m. and re-
tired to the stock room in the rear. At
6 p. m. they heard shooting in the
front room with a command. Cup with
your arms" What they had been
waiting for had come.
Gottfried was behind the screen near
the door. AS he stepped into
view of the rest, bullet cut through
his lips and knocked out four teeth.
They grappled but the robber broke
away and started for the rear door
with Gottfried in pursuit. They were
so close together that Detective Nc
Kinley could not shoot. Gottfried
seized the robber again and McKin-
ley, bending to knee height, fired bull
let entering the bandits breast. One
more bullet struck him in the back of
the neck as he was going through
the door and he dropped in his tracks.

the manufacture of maize bread and
many other preparations in which
ground maize forms the basis.
The flesh consumed is principally
pork, although mutton, goat and beef
enter to some extent into the daily
dietary, more especially in the towns.
Pork, however, in the fresh and in the
cured state, is used everywhere, and
every farmer, small or large, is a
grower of pigs, the type preferred be-
ing the Mangalicza breed. which has
the characteristic of producing deep
layers of fat along the back, which
is cut into long strips, slightly sailed
and used In the place of butter. So
important is the pork-curing industry
considered in Serbia that the govern
ments and in several ways gives con-
cessions to the curers of pig meat.
The salt required in the business is
subject to a rebate of so per cent Of
it's value, as it is used for industrial
purposes, there being state monop-
oily of salt in the country.
Sheep Rank Next to Pigs.
Some of the customs in connection
with agriculture are very interesting,
among them being the universal coop
Grafton of the farmers in annually
sending their sheep to the hills. The
sheep industry ranks Eext to that of
pigs, and wool is produced in consid-
cradle quantity Serbian mutton is
noted also in eastern countries, and
before the war was much in demand
In Constantinople.
But the principal use of the sheep
is to produce milk. from which great
variety of cheeses is made. The farm
ers who are the owners of the sheep
unite together to employ one or more
shepherds, who take charge of their
fiocks and milk them while they are
on the hills. The shepherds are also
responsible for making the cheese out
of the milk, and pay themselves for
their trouble by taking certain per-
centage of the produce, the remainder
being divided among the farmers. ac-
