bers who burglarized the post Office
at Palm Beach on February 11th.
Both men are now locked up in the
county jail here and will be given

The two men were apprehended In

GERMAN WIRELESS FOUND
ON THE OKEECHOBEE LAKE
fort Pierce NeWs,)

IL reports from actors in the drama
be authentic-and we have no reason
to doubt the authenticity-two radio
stations, owned and operated by Ger
mans or German sympathizers, have
recently been discovered in the Ever
glades, one of them on Rita Island,
which is in Lake Okeechobee about
two miles from shore, and contains
aoout 400 acres, owned and partly
farmed by Capt. F. "A. Forbes. a re-
tired officer of the United States
navy. The other was found in Big
Cypress Swamp. Both are located in
trees with spiral steps nailed on or
cut into the trees.
All this is said to have been ferret
eG cut by Federal authorities within
the past few weeks, and three men
were placed in Jail at Miami and are
now awaiting investigation and trial
by Federal authorities.
The story of the accidental discov-
ely of the first wireless station. and
the subsequent events which led to
the discovery of the second is inter
esting. After the discovery of the
first, and the escape of the operators,
guide was found who testified to
taking two men on the same day, to
PIG Cypress. The u S. marshal per-
snaded him to take the Federal party
to the same spot, and sure enough
they soon discovered similar tree
raiio plant, and succeeded in captur
ing three men, who are said to have
acknowledged that they made a mis-
take in not more completely secret
ing their first plant on the island
away from the haunts of men.
