Sheriff J. E. Bateman, who left
last week for California, where he
went to get R. H. Jones, who fleeced
$4,000 from local citizens, is expect
ed to return with his prisoner today
or tomorrow. He was expected to az
rive the early part of the week, but
a message from the sheriff stated
that he was delayed in getting away
from California. Jones had ex-
pressed himself as willing to return,
but it is believed that on second
thought he decided to begin making
his fight. It has also developed that
Jones issued bad checks to several

sudden departure.

OPPELN, June S.-Rosenburg, a
town about 20 miles northeast of this
city and located near the old Polish
frontier. has been occupied by a bat
talon of British troops. Rosenberg
was taken by Polish insurgents during
their first advance in Upper Silesia,
and there has been danger of serious
fighting there between the Poles and
Germans.
Reports received here are silent as
to whether fighting occurred when
the British occupied this Polish
stronghold, but in official circles it
is believed it is quite proba BILE that
the British and Poles clashed.
Three Frenchmen we're wounded,
two probably fatally, when Germans
fired upon IA French soldiers who
emerged from village on the road
between Cross-Strehlitz and Ujest to
the south. The French party, which
included an officer, was captured and
disarmed, but was ater released and
its weapons were returned, the Ger
mans explaining that they thought
they were firing upon Poles. The in
cident occurred during the darkness
yesterday morning.

FOUR BANDITS EMPTY
POCKETS OF DANGERS
(Bv Associated Press)

CHICAGO. June S.-Four bandits
lined up dancers in an inn north of
Evanston early today and escaped
with jewelry and cash estimat ted at
nearly $4,000. The dancers first
thought it was a joke when a young
man with a cap pulled low over his
eyes and a pistol in each hand stepped
out on the dance floor and commanded
them to line up.
But the guests quickly complied
when three other robbers entered and
fired several shots into the ceiling.
One woman saved diamonds valued
at $4,000 by dropping them into her
cup of coffee.
