...sheriff in freeing Desperado John Dillinger from Lima's jail last October. Last week in Crown Point, Ind., Deputy Sheriff Blunk and Turnkey Cahoon were arrested, charged with deliberately aiding Desperado Dillinger to bluff his way out of Crown Point's jail fortnight ago with a wooden gun. Last week in Chicago police, chasing automobiles believed to contain Desperado Dillinger, were twice halted by machine gun fire. But these alarms and excursions were less serious to many a politician than the repercussions of Dillinger's escape...
...final day; Oilman Walter C. Teagle's Norias Annie v. Doctor Blue Willing, a lemon-spotted pointer owned by L. D. Johnson of Evansville, Ind.

A few frightened Indians peered from their cabins as the guardsmen prodded four men in polished black puttees to the ground. A machine gun barked in the night. Four corpses sprawled on the ground.
