Identify Arrested !,
Men as Bandits Who
Staged Bayard Holdup

Alliance, Neb., Oct. 12.-(Special
Telegram. )-Walter Heines OF Bill
lings, Mont, and Grant Seal of
Quincy, ILL.,, who were arrested here

tilted as the bandits who held up and

tempted to grapple with the bnadits.

Bolsheviisln In
Russia Near End
Signs Of Approaching Col.
lapse Seen in CrumblinglAut-
thority on Polish Front.

Washington. Oct. l2.-Signs OF
the approaching collapse of bolshe-
vism in Russia are seen by State
department officials, in crumbling OF
soviet authority on the Polish front
and the rapidly augmenting strength,
of. anti-bolshevik forces in southern
Europe under Gen. Wrangel.
Already consideration is being CIV
en- at the department, it was said, to
what may follow the end of soviet
rule in Russia. The prospect of an
archy and chaos in the event of So
Wet dissolution is very real, accord
ing to officials, but the belief was
expressed that the local femstovos
have been so we'll organized as to
maintain semblance of order.
The situation in Persia, where for
time bolshevism threatened to dis
rupt the country, recently has clear
ed satisfactorily, according to re-
ports to the department. The league
Of bolshevism with the Turkish ma
tionalists also is regarded to have
weakened with the rout Of Mustapha
kemal and his followers.
Most significant of the wane OF
soviet influence in Europe, accord
ing to officials, was the rejection OF
the bolshevik overtures by Switzer-
land, which is so situated as to be
able to form an accurate opinion OF
the character and future of the So
Wet regime. 1t is now also known
that somewhat earlier Roumania re-
jected overtures of the soviet gov
ernment, it was said.
