Sheriff WooIison, Deputy Sheriff
Purcell and Assistant State Fire
Marshal L. J. Dermody searched most
of Tuesday night for the two Jones
brothers, the bandits, who robbed the
Mcclure store at Centerburg and
burned the Parks barn near Lock,
but at 2:30 Wednesday morning they
returned to the city, having lost all
trace of the robbers at Sparta, Nor
row county.
The officers are positive in their be-
lief that the men were in the vicinity
of Lock all day Tuesday and when
night came on they decided to get out
of that section of the country.
!. Shortly before dark the two men
were discovered in the cemetery,
south of Lock. They were chased out
of the cemetery by number OF farm
ers. They left in q hurry and were
next seen to enter large wheat field.
The farmers did not follow them, but
a telephone message was sent to Sher-
iff Woolison to come to the scene at
once. The officers left this city about
$3.50 and drove direct to the Mitchell
store at Lock where the sheriff se-
cured about so men and search was
made through the wheat field and the
surrounding territory.
While the officers were making the
search in the vicinity of Lock, mes
sage was received from Sparta, Nor
row county, to the effect that the two
men were in the village. A descrip-
ton of the men was furnished and 1t
tailed exactly with the two men seen
/ in the vicinity of Lock early in the
Ievening.
Sheriff Woolison and his deputies
in one automobile and the marshal OF
Centerburg and other officers in anoth-
er automobile drove to Sparta after
receiving the CALL Upon their ar
rival there they found that the men
had left in the direction of Marengo.

Residents Of Sparta stated that the
two men appeared in two stores at
Lock and purchased something to cat
The residents of Sparta paid very
little attention to the two men, until
the marshal of the village was notified
of the actions Of the strangers. When
the marshal reached the store, the
men had disappeared.
A number Of persons watched the
men and they were seen going in the
direction of Marengo. Sheriff Wooli-
son and the other officers drove to the
later village, but could obtain no trace
of the men there. They lost all track
OF the men after they left Sparta. The
sheriff of Morrow county was notified
by Sheriff Woolison that the men were
to assist in the search on Wednesday.
Sheriff Woolison and the other Mt
Vernon officers returned home at 2:30
Wednesday morning.
The local officers state that there
is no question but that the robbers
are in the vicinity of Sparta or Mar
engo. According to the tactics adopt
ed by the robbers they hide in the
woods or fields during the day and
travel at night. When the wheat field
was searched near Lock Tuesday
night it was discovered that the
men had fire in the center of the
field and had cooked their supper.
The villagers of Lock were close
enough to the men late Tuesday after.
noon to secure their description. One
of the men is quite stopped and wears
a straw hat. The other is taller and
wears a black derby hat.
Assistant State Fire Marshal Der
rnody is positive that the two men set
fire to the Parks barn, near Lock, and
so informed the state fire marshal at
Columbus. The latter has assigned
Mr.. Dermody on the case and he is
therefore assisting the local officers
in any way possible in running down
the desperate men.
Bought Shoes At Sparta
Sparta, o., June 10-There is no
doubt but that the Jones brothers,
robbers, were at this place last eve
ming. Persons here have copies of
a Columbus newspaper containing pic
lures Of the two men and the show
a great likeness to the two men who
appeared in this village last night.
About nine o'clock the two men
drove up to the Hughes store in a
buggy to which was attached large
draft horse. Both men entered the
store and purchased something to eat
One of the men inquired if Mr.. Hughes
had any celery plants for sale. He was
directed to place where he could
purchase the plants. Mr.. Hughes
watched the men after leaving the
store but they did not go after the
celery plants. In about half hour
the two men again returned to the
store in a rig and one of the men pur-
chased pair of shoes. The ones he
discarded were badly worn out, show
ing that he had been tramping about
over fields and stony places.
Mr. Hughes saw the men get into
the buggy and drive out the road
towards Marengo. This is the last
seen of the men.

viii Case Still Being Tried
In Common Pleas
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

In the case of Lester Hadley VS.. the
City of Mt. Vernon, Judge Jewell hand
ed down brief verbal decision from
the bench in the court of common
pleas Wednesday morning and an
Dounced that he would prepare writ
te decision at a later date.
According to the decision of Judge
Jewell, Mr.. Hadley loses his case
against the city.
The suit was filed some weeks ago.
The plaintiff sought to recover money
due him for years salary as sanitary
policeman. 1t was alleged in the Pc
tition that the plaintiff was employed
for a year, but that he was discharged
and another man appointed in his
place. The court held that Mr.. Hadley
had no authority to sue the city for
the reason that another sanitary
policeman had been employed and had
been paid the salary for year and
that therefore the city could not be
compelled to pay salaries to two per-
sons for the same position.
The court intimated that the plain
tiff might bring an action against the
sanitary policeman employed by the
city in place of the plaintiff in this
action.
