"Going down to the depot sun,

said Mr.. Theirs, ''the door was
found to be open and investigation
showed that a car, carrying one
Firestone tread and three Goodyear
cord tires, had circled the station,
"About noon," continued Mr.
Theirs, III. r. Johnson, riding out
towards Muckalee creek, saw the
cans floating on the water OF the
creek. and going to these he picked
them up in his car and brought
them back to the station, reporting

station. Mr.. Loving, taking Gay
Bell, an employe of the station with

II wag found that the same treads
showed on the road near the creek,
evidently having turned back To-
wards town at this point.
"Seeing that something might be

Thacker and Jackson Baldwin, all
young Americas men, were arrested
in front of the court house by Of

stating that it was he who had
priced off the lock, and that the
robbery was made through a desire
to make a trip to Columbus foI
which he had no money.
when Thacker was interviewed
later, he also admitted his part IN
the theft, and told the same story
as that previously related by Bald

Roberts at frst\ denied all com

two had not implicated him, he alsr
made a statement which corroborat

General Won Ludendorff UNI
doubleday was reol organizer Of
the monarchists. Adolph Hitler, a
would-be Mussolini, was his mouth
piece.
Z Hitler proclaimed a new regime
IN Germany. AS it's regent" or
head, he named Dr. Won Kahr, who
was acting as dictator of the Ger
man state of Bavaria. He nominal
ed himself (Hitler) as "chancel-
lor," Ludendorff was to be mill
tary commander. Presumably the
idea was to make Crown Prince
Rppprecht of Bavaria emperor Of
Germany.
Rupprecht repudiated the whole
thing. Khar not only repudiated it
but told loyal troops to put the
uprising. down. Hitler and Luden-
dorff had to surrender. Hitlers
said to, have escaped later, but Luz
deadorff remained a prisoner.
That probably ends it all, for the
present.

ed from Holland to Germany, which
may or may not mean something.
