STRIKE-MAY SPREAD

Indianapolis, nd, Jan. 27.-Clerks
and freight handlers of the Big Four
went on strike here early today, their
only demand being the right to or

Organizers said that by noon 800
men will be out, but this was denied
by officials of the road, who said the
strike would affect only about Is
men.
Organizers said the strike probably
will spread to the entire system,
affecting $500 men and that it would
tie up the freight department, but
would not affect passenger service.

Five baby bandits" made a haul

robbery of the Washington Park Ma

The robbery was the most amazing
in Chicago's recent astounding list of
daring crimes.
While bank was full of patrons,
and in broad daylight, four youths,
all about Is, entered, drew guns,
forced the patrons and bank en-
ployes to hold up hands, compelled a
teller to pass over $1,000 to SIS, 900
in bills and were gone.
The only reason that the bandits
did not get more was that the fellow
carrying the swag could not hold any
more in his arms $15, 900 in bills
makes quite a bundle.
While three stuck guns in the faces
of those in the bank, a fourth got the

for a run. There was no license num-

plays they emerged from the first
half ON the large end of the score
which was 16 to IL.
In the second half the school boys
ran away from the town players
They set up pace that proved to be
too fast for the town quintet. A

COpperH0tGun
Play Has Fatal
End for Liaskos

Louis Liaskos was fatally wounded
by George Dritchas in shooting
scrape which occurred in the coffee
house owned by Dritchas and others
at Copper Flat. shortly after mid
night on Tuesday last.
According to the stories told, there
were a number of men in the coffee
house at the time of the shooting
1t is said that quarrel arose over
game of cards in which Liaskos
was engaged with one of his coun-
trymen. Dritchas interfered and lat
er angry words were exchanged be-
tween him and Liaskos. A number
of the men present, according to the
story, tried to take Liaskos out of
the coffee house and while so engag-
ed the guns were drawn. Dirtchas
dropped down behind the stove in
the center of the room and the
shooting started.
The two men soon had the room to

found to have been shot through the
right breast. He was taken to the
Steptoe hospital, where he died
about one O'Clock on Wednesday af-
ternoon. His remains were buried
from the Wilson-Bates undertaking
parlors yesterday at eleven o'clock
in the forenoon. The services were
conducted by the Greek priest from
Salt Lake.
Shortly after the shooting, Dritch-
as telephoned to the officers saying
that he had engaged in a shooting
affair, for which he desired to give
himself up. He later surrendered to
Sheriff Grain and is now held in the
county Jail. He will probably be
given a preliminary examination dur

Dritchas is we'll known in this dis
trict, where he has always been re.

trymen and bears a first class rep

been known they were amateurs IL

These same clever artists appeared in
chorus at different times during the
entertainment and never failed to
carry out their every line, showing
signal ability for stage work. Miss
Jennie Munday and Joe Ennis scored
two decided hits in is 1t Raining
and Lovely Day for a Walk" Miss
Munday is one of the cleverest little
amateurs that could be selected
while Joe Ennis is an actor of con-
siderable ability.
At Ruth Moonlight in Jungle
Land" which had been formerly
cared for by Mildred Wetmore and
|chorus, was assigned to Miss Helen
Hoag, due to the fact that Miss Wet
more was called to Reno and could
not be present. Miss Hoag showed
the same cleverness which so dis
tinctly marked her work a week ago
in The Barrier" and she won rounds
of applause.
One of the great features was the
beautiful dancing of Miss Genevieve
Stevens and Mrs. Jean Kruger. Both
were so clever. so graceful and show
ed such skill in the dancing line that
they would be well received in any
theater in the country.
Land of Love and Song" by Mrs.
Oberhansli was not only a beautiful
selection. but was likewise one of
the best rendered numbers on the
program. The solos by Mrs. A. Jur-
ich and Mrs. Frank Millard added
much to the entertainment. Both
these young matrons are possessors
of beautiful voices on which much
time has been we'll and profitably
spent in cultivation.
AS fitting close to such an excel
lent entertainment, How Sullivan

constant uproar. In this the work
OF Chris Rowan, w. p. Kinney, Prof.
Kenyon, Harry Ennis and Joe Ennis

Harry Ennis is certainly an artist
in his line and such shows as he has

which merits the lions share OF
