Six Men, Caught Robbing Sa-
loon, Escape After One
Is Wounded
150 SHOTS ARE FIRED
Six men Interrupted as they were
stenllng a barrel of whisky from J.
Gallagher's saloon. Quarry and Camac
streets, at B o'clock this morning, made
a stand against two patrolmen, held
them at lay for twenty minutes and
finally escaped with one wounded after
a fierce gun fight
Patrolman Clark of thT Eleventh and
Winter streets station, surprised the
six men when he ro'unded the corftqr of
Camao and Quarry streets.
Two of the sl.x were carrying a barrel
of whisky from the cellar, while four
stood guard near a lnrge green touring
car.
At sight of the patrolman one of the
men shouted: "Kill the Bimbo l"
The two men carrying the barrel put
it down. All six drew revolvers and
opened fire on t'laik. He drew his
gun, emptied it nt the six men and
retrented to the east side of Camac
street, where he crouched behind an
Ircn stairway, reloaded his revolver
and resumed fire.
Driven to Cellarvvay
The patrolman's fire drove the men
Into the cellarvvay of the saloon, from
which they continued to pump shots at
him In rapid succession Patrolman
Simpson, who lives at 111 North Camac
street, was awakened by the revolver
fire.
As he rnised n window to peer out
In the early morning darkness, several
shots hit the window frame about his
head. He withdrew, procured his po
lice revolver and began firing at the
six men.
Hesldents of the neighborhood rnised
their windows, but when shots whizzed
near them, they retrented.
While Patrolman Simpson was re
loading his revolver, the men left the
ccllarwny and moved toward Clark, fir
ing us thev went. Clark was forced
from behind the iron stairway, and re
treated east on Quarry street.
The men then moved toward their
autnynobllc. While one started the
motor, the other five continued tho
revolver fire. As they were about to
enter the car, one of the men was seen
to throw his hand to his chest and
stagger. Two of his confederates seized
him nnd aided him into tho automo
bile. Patrolman Miller, nt Twelfth and
Vine streets, heard shots und turned in
,a call for n patrol detail.
Gunmen Speed Away
Before the patrol arrived the gun
men were speeding north on Camac
street. They turne1 west on Camac
street to Thirteenth nnd north on Thir
teenth, exchanging fire with Patrolmen
Simpson, Clark nnd Miller,
At Thirteenth and Vine streets De
tectives Gay and Murray, of the Elcv
enth and Winter streets statlou, saw
the automobile approaching nnd the
lashes of the gunmen's revolvers. The
detectives fired at the fleeing machine,
