The police made four arrests yesterday
of suspected highwaymen and burglars
This afternoon three of them were turned
prisoner.
Frank Cronin Of West Oakland was ar
rested last evening, but not before he had
made a desperate effort to prevent the
officers from taking him. During the bat
tie several shots were fired and one Of
them passed through the feshy part Of
Cronin's eft arm.
Sergeant Mckinley and Officers Murray
and Stahl were charged with the task Of
arresting Cronin. The warrant which they
took was sworn out two weeks ago by
Jose F,raga charging Cronin with disturb
min was likely to give trouble when
threatened with arrest and the warrant
was used SO that he would not suspect
that they wanted him on a more serious
charge As soon as Crontn saw the war

were after, for he attempted 10 escape
by jumping through window and on the
roof of a neighboring house. During the
chase several shots were fred and Gro

their guns.
