Pharmacy Owner Says Fir
ing Is Due to Refusal to
Sell Certain Brew.

Search for gangsters who have in
vaded Indianapolis to force retailers
of 80 beer to handle products of
certain Chicago breweries is being
staged by police today.
Thursday noon two persons
narrowly escaped death when
racketeers fired revolver bullet
through a window of the Rowson
pharmacy, 1902 North Illinois street,
the first indication of the hoodlums'
activities.
Rowson and his employees con-
tinued business today, convinced
that the proprietor's refusal to per-
nit additional deliveries of one
brand of Chicago beer brought on
the attack. He said he had refused
the offers of a salesman for the
company and also had returned de-
liveries of the beer sent by local
wholesalers.
Cigar Hunt Saves Lives
The firing of the bullet, which
almost struck Miss Ada Foster,
clerk, and Fred Cruise, operator of
the soda fountain, occurred ten
minutes before noon Thursday A
few minutes after the firing more
than forty persons, employees of
neighborhood firms, were in the
store obtaining lunch.
The request of customer for
cigars saved the lives of Cruise and
Miss Foster She had been hunting
for the box and had asked Cruise to
point it out to aer. He did and
had walked a few feet from the
cigar case when the bullet drilled
through the Eleventh street display
window. Miss Foster had bent over
to obtain the cigars when the shot
was fired over her head.
Gangsters Flee Scene
The racketeers were in a car that
sped south in Illinois street after
the shot was fired. The car later
went north on Illinois street and
fled from the scene.
This is Rowson's second brush
with gangSters
A year ago fake phone call al
most sent him to East st. Louis in
an airplane with a member of a
gang trying to trap him after he
received an anonymous phone call
that his parents had been killed in
an auto accident. A check with the
United Press on the purported acct
dent saved Rowson from either rob-
berry or injury.
