and William Kopler, accompanied by
two young women, strolled across the
lake few evenings ago, and while in
the bluffs along the roadway were
accOsted by the man, who said he was
a member of the department. He
placed both men under arrest

other until he subdued him sufficiently

pocketbook, they say, to Kenton, Ohio.
