Sheriff Woolison states that farmers
in the vicinity of Lock have been noti-
fed and are guarding the roads. 1t
is the belief that the bandits are face
to face with starvation and this may
drive them to make break for liber-
ty at any time. The robbers are re-
sorting to every method to get out of
the country and unless they are
caught soon, it is feared that they
will commit greater crimes.
The Columbus officers have re-
turned to their homes and the only
officials on the scene Monday night
were Sheriff Woolison and Deputy
Sheriff Mossholder. Officers from Co
lumbus are expected to arrive at Lock
Tuesday.
There is no doubt that the two men
who boldly entered the Centerburg
store, changed into new suits of
clothes, and stole 500 from the safe,
were the same who participated in the
assault and robbery of Henry and
Frederick Schwilk, bachelor farmers
of Taylor Station, and afterwards
stole the Schwilk automobile in which
to escape At each place where these
separate crimes were committed, was
discovered the footprints of man
who wore about a No. 8 shoe, with
high heels.
The officers yesterday forenoon Wis
tied barn east of Centerburg, where
they found evidences that the robbers
had stayed while their machine was
hidden in the woods near by. After
the machine was discovered by a
farmer, whose name is Long, and re-
moved the bandits did not return.
The Jones brothers, Earl, aged 21,
and Ernest, aged "a, are well known
by Sheriff Woolison, who said they
had been infrequent visitors at the
house of their grandmother near Cen
terburg since they left home four
years ago. Ernest worked at the Tay-
lor Station brickyard OF the Columbus
Contractors Supply Company, two
months ago, and it was through in
formation supplied by him, it is sup
posed, that Strom and the others
planned the double robbery Of the
SchWilk brothers and the brickyard
paymaster.
Reported to Be Here
A former Centerburg man, now en-
ployed in Mt. Vernon, telephoned to
the police department shortly before
noon Tuesday that he was certain he
saw the two Jones brothers crossing
the viaduct in this city, Sheriff Wooli-
son, Deputy Sheriff Mossholder, Chief
of Police Parker and officer McElroy
were soon on the scene, but could
find no trace of the men. The officials
do not believe the men were in Mt
Vernon.

The Latest Report

One of the latest reports concern
ing the whereabouts OF the bandits
has it that they are surrounded in an
abandoned farm house two miles east
of Lock on the John Hilbrant farm.
Acting upon the strength of this re-

radius of several miles from the farm
started to assist in a capture.
