the right men as the victim gave an
unusually gbod description of his as
5ailants. The fact that an automatic
pistol and an ueley looking knife were
taken from the autos in which the
prisoners were arrested is believed
guilty enough to hold the men. The
names of the trio are bling withheld
BY the sheriff and a heavy guard IL
watching the mon.
Other than the fact that the men
are from Rockford was all that was
given out.
When news of the Staying reached
Ladd the feeling ran high and a fren

prisoners were spirited thru the town
they were under a heavy guard and
unknown to citizens.
Tanadzi was employed for his un-

and was on his way home with $3.50
when the dastardly attack occurred.
He was shot six times, twice In the
abdomen, once in the shoulder, third
bullet lodged in his right leg, fourth
passed thru a vest pocket book and
lodged in his chest and a fifth bullet
wound was found in his side.
The trio, concealed underneath a
bridge jumped out and attempted the
holdup. He surrendered The mules

fire and then fed. In spite Of his
wounds he got into his wagon and
continued on only to be attacked a
second time.

shooting, came to the aid of the in
jured man and rushed him to Spring
