CLOTHING SALESMAN
 IS JoLTED BY sYOkEL'

PORTLAND. December 29-A 'yok- el bought S65 worth of clothing and suit case from Max Zuckerman, clerk in the Biakin clothing store at Sixth and Oak streets last night and paid the bill by sparing Zuckerman's life, Zuckerman told the police.
 Zuckerman said that when the fel- low entered the store he thought he was a "yokeP' but when the customer departed with bill for the goods and $12O from the cash register the clerk changed him mind. The change came, when the customer, taking advantage of the moment when no one but the two were in the store, poked revol- yer in front of Zuckerman, forced him to open the cash register. and then locked him in.
 The holdup was not particularly well-dressed When he entered the store he asked for suit
 rOh something for $45, $50, or $6O," he drawled as though indifferent to petty sums.
 '"I thought he was yokel. I told him not to talk like that in stores or someone might take advantage of him , said Zuckerman. T sold him S3O suit. He bought a suitcase and put the suit into it. The he bought shirts, collars, socks and shoes, and I put them into the suitcase. 1 sold him pair of dress shoes and then he said he wanted pair of work shoes. When we were back in the shoe de partment he pointed the revolver at me and told me not to say a word. He backed me down cellar. The he made me come out and open the cash regis ter. Then he locked the door. I guess I was down there five minutes before I could make anyone hear me-"
 The customer, Zuckerman said, was quite fastidious. An hour of patient salesmanship was consumed in mak- ing the sales"
