ARRANGING FUNERAL MOORESVILLE, Indiana, July 23.—John Dillinger, Sr., respected farmer here, went about arranging for the burial of his son cnlmly as he had awaited the day he knew | was: coming when bullets would end his son's life. He soon recov- ered when informed his son had been shot. He was momentarily shaken but regained his composure and prepared to bury his son beside his mother. VIGOROUS DRIVE ON CHICAGO, 1ll, July 23.—A vig- oous drive to exterminate all Dil- linger hoodlums has been launched | as the controversy began as to who tipped off Dillinger. The Chicago police said he was lured to his death by a woman in a red dress. Other reports were that an attractive woman and a man' escort are under a protection guard at a hotel from Dillinger hench- men after luring him to death in| consideration for a $5,000 reward. Wanted dead or alive for a string of desperate crimes. and brazen, Jail-breaks, John Dillinger was considered a “good boy” until he was arrested in 1924 for robbing an a suspicion that he had plotted the Crown Point, Ind., whittling as he break.

John Dillinger was free—but not for long. ANOTHER EPISODE Freed from an Ohio jail by three killer-cronies, John Dillinger was on the loose October 12 to start a 'bloody game of hide-and-seek with the law. He was seen in two raids lon police station arsenals in In- diana. In Chicago a trap was laid for him, but he ducked it in a rain of bullets. On January 15 he was identified as one of four bandits who plundered a bank in East Chicago, Ind, and killed Plain- clothesman Patrick O'Malley. Police were summoned as the robbery be- gan and had surrounded the en- trance when the machine-gun- armed thugs emerged. They shot | their .way free. Two other-officers were killed in Illindis by alleged members of the Dillinger gang ‘as the chase continued. Then on | January 25 the police at Tucson, Ariz., captured three Dillinger 'hencifnen, and lay in wait in the hideout for the ringleader. He walked into the trap with a woman friend and, although armed, gave up quietly.

He was reported seen in Schiller Park, TH.,'and Macon City, Ia. He fled a trap at St. Paul on March 31, probably wounded by officers’ fire. Carthage, Ill., was believed his next stop—then Noblesville, Ind. With typical audacity he had Sunday dinner with his father near Mooresville, Ind., April 8, but the news didn't leak out for several days. + Meanwhile he bobbed up in Warsaw, Ind, to steal arms and bullet-proof vests from the police station, He was reported 'in Brownsburg, Ind., and South Bend. His trail' was gettiig / hotter. With John Hamilton, 4 gunner pal, he stopped in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich,, April 17.

Six men and three women were with him. Sunday night, April 22, a band of officers rept through the woods to nail him, dead or alive. There was a wn battle, deaths, injuries; but the snakelike outlaw jumped from: a window and when morning came he was gone. A dragnet swept around Mercer, Wis. Thousahds of ‘tips” poured in to the army of federal agents concentrated there. Everybody had seen Dillinger. He popped up in two or three places at once. He was reported speeding over a half dozen highways, rob- bing and terrorizing. ——.ee MARRIED IN FAIRBANKS Mrs. Gladys Reuther and Alex- the woods nder Retzlaf were recently mar- Mr. Fairbanks cled in Fairbanks. with the Retzlaf is Exploration GARDEN PATCH CELERY, head BANANAS, 3 pounds FRESH EGGS, dozen ... ... .. dozefic. . ... ..
