In this basement is a hall flanked on either side by tele~ phones over which buying and selling ordem are received. Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock when the market was close1 for the day and tht clerks had received their wages and bonuses a crap game was instituted In the rear of the hall. Sud- denly four strangers injected them- selves into the midst of the group and four revolvers were flashed in the faces of the dice shooters. The nineteen clerks were ranged along the wall and the four gunmen calmly rifled thuir pockets and wages and bonuses were trausferred to the pockets of the gunning visttora, The quartet after wishing the nineteen a Merry Christmas departed, Several of the robbed clerks believe they know one of the gunmen, who, they say, has been hanging around the Curb for some time, Inasmuch as their employers have been seeking to stamp ‘out the crap shooting prac- tices, they are not altogether anxious to be brought into court for fear of losing their positions. They feel that {t is bad enough to lose wages and bonuses at Yuletide without losing their jobs. —__—>__ MRS.

( DUBLIN, Dec. 28.—Seventeen lives were lost in Ireland over Christmas, | ‘t was announced at Dublin Castle to-day, This included Sinn Feiners and members of crown forces. The report sald the hollday period was quieter than had been expected. Countess Georgina Markievicz, who was tried by a courtmartial on a chargo of conspiring to organize a seditious society, was to-day sen- tenced to two yeans at hard labor in prison, The specific allegation against her was that she had between January, 1918, and September, 1920, plotted to organize a “Fianna Eireann,” or Sinn Fein Boy Scouts Society. This organ- ization has been charged with the conspiracy to murder military police, and with unlawful drilling. LONDON, Dev, 28.+-Telegraphic ad- vices from Tipperary say that the business district of that city has been swept by flames and that much dam- age has been done. Help has been sent from Dublin, but it Is not known as yet if the fire is under control. The cause of the burning of the, butldings, which are sald to com- prise some of the best business structures, has not been ascertained, The first repost of the fire came soon after the report of fighting at Bruff, near Limerick, in which a po- iceman and five olvilians were Killed. There is nothing to indicate, however, that the two events were in any way connected, but both dis- tricta are under martial law. So far as known at this time the fire in Tipperary started in a department store and spread to some adjoining buildings which were soon in flames. Details are entirely lacking, but as the seene {s within the martial law belt it 1s supposed that the despatches have been held back by the military censor. That the fire is very serious is assumed from the fact that nssist- ance was called for, This is seldom done except in extreme cases, sda an ear aac FAKE AMERICAN ACE DESERTS HIS BRIDE) Impersonator of Rickenbacker Said to Have Been Stablegroom in Florida.
