Robertsons story was that he and
Reese and Flynn had entered into
a partnership to make and dispose
Of the whisky, he to do the manu-
featuring at the house which he
rented, and the other two to do

Robertson thought he had been
double-crossed by Reese and gave,

Reese and Kelly were afterwards
arrested and Reese was given a jail
sentence and fined last week after
a trial.

BRESEL YOKE, BAD
MAN.. ARRESTED

Unusual bravery on the part Of
Policemen Dougherty and Arnett
resulted in the arrest Of Bresel
Yoke after the two had engaged in
a pistol duel on Pickhandle Hill
about 2 o'clock last evening. The
prisoner, who was just recently re-
leased from the state penitentiary
on parole, is now behind the bars
of the county jail.
Officer Dougherty in company
with Assistant Chief of Police Ar
nett, were called to "Pickhandle
Hill" last evening, and upon ar
rival there found Yoke hidden in
the woods. Seeing the officers,
Yoke ran with Officer Dougherty
hot on his trail. While running
down narrow path, he turned sud.
denly and pulling a pistol from a
holster hanging from his belt,
fired at Officer Dougherty, was was
at that time only n few feet be-
hind. The officer could easily have
shot the assailant, but instead fred
six shots alonside the man as he
fled in the hope of capturing him
without causing any serious injury.
At the risk of being killed by the
fugitive, Officer Dougherty pur-
sued the man, even after he had
emptied his gun, until finally Yoke
succeeded in eluding the officers
by hiding in the brush.
He was later captured by Assist
ant Chief Arnett when he stepped
almost into the arms of the officer
as the latter was hidden along a
path. After he was under arrest
he explained that he would have
killed one or both Of the officers if
he had not fallen and clogged his
cylinder of his revolver with dirt
thus preventing it from revolving,
Yoke was at one time charged
with shooting a woman at Grafton.
Later he hit Policeman Howard
Woodward with a stone while the
officer was attempting to arrest
him, and still later he was con-
victed of robbery and sent to the
state prison. He was released only
short time ago on parole.
