AS the result of q brawl in q saloon
ABOUT 10 O'Clock last night which end
ed in one man drawing a revolver and
shooting another, Kalman Ur, twenty
eight years old, of Grove street, is lock
ed up at police headquarters charged
with having shot Paul Mihalko, OF
377 Smith street, who is in the City
Hospital. 1t was thought last night
that the bullet wound would prove
fatal but it was stated this morning
at the hospital that the mans condi-
ton was not considered serious.
According to the information re-
ceived by the police both men were
drunk and got into some kind of an
argument in a saloon in the Budapest
section of the city. Mihalko Is said
to have slapped Ur in the face, after
which Ur left the saloon threaten
ing Mihalko. Ur returned a short
time later with thirty-two calibre re-
volver, pointed 1t at Mihalko and fired.
Mihalko dropped to the floor and Ur
disappeared.
A telephone call was received at
police headquarters at 10 o'clock last
night telling of the fight at the Bud
apest saloon. Detective Sergeant
John A. Huff and Patrolman George
Kozusko Immediately left in the po-
lice department automobile. An inves-
uBatlOn was made Dut Ur could not
be found. Following a search In back
yards which led the police over sew
eral fences, they came upon a man
who wanted to shake hands with them.
He proved to be Ur and confessed to
having shot Mihalko.
Ur's wife next came upon the scene
and attacked the two officers when
they attempted to leave the scene with
Ur. After fighting their way through
the crowd which had collected Ur was
placed in the automobile and taken
to police headquarters. Sticks and
stones were thrown at the police auto
as 1t began to draw away but both
officers escaped injury.
Mihalko had been taken to the hos
pital Immediately after the shooting,
where DR.. F. G. Henry endeavored to
locate the bullet. It was discovered
that Mihalko had a wound in the right i
cheek, the cheek bone having been
splintered. DR.. Henry could not locate |
the bullet.
An X-ray of the mans head was
taken this morning in order to locate !
the bullet. The result will not be |
known until tomorrow morning as
the plate had not been Geveloped this
afternoon. In the meantime Ur is
bcir~ held without bail in the police

Wanted Referred to Com
mittee of the Whole.

Two petitions FOR increased salaries
were received by the Board of Educa-
ton last night, one coming from the
grade teachers of the city and the
other from the high school teachers.
Last night was the first time any Of
the teachers had a petition for an in
crease in salary before the board and
committee of the whole following a
lengthy caucus of the board. The
school board now has three petitions
before it for increases in salary, the
janitors having made such an appli-
cation at a previous meeting.
The grade teachers ask for an in
crease varying from $3.50 year to
$500 year, whereas most of the high
school teachers ask for a raise which
would mean $500 more year. Some
of the women teachers in the high
school would not reach such a large
raise, however, under the terms ask
cd. The janitors at a previous meet
ing asked for ten dollars a month
raise.
Would Cost $4,000.
The board during its discussion of
the petitions stated that if the re-
quests of the teachers and janitors
Nas complied with, it would mean an
additional expenditure of from $70,-
900 to $4,000 per year.
