Mike Spanos and Bert Cummings, well-known members of the local Greek colony, were arrested at 1 o’clock Tuesday morning by Constable August Singler, Acting Chief of Police Cing- cade and Officers Cady and Mego, on suspicion of being connected with the murder of George Dedaskalous Sunday night. Spanos is held in the city jail and Cummings at the county jail in Jacksonville. Two other Greeks, friends of Spanos and Cummings, are also held. A card of the Medford hotel, cover ed with blood, and found near the scene of the murder, is the strongest clue the authorities have against the suspected men. Spanos and Cummings both worked at the Medford hotel, being employed in a minor capacity. Spancs also told Constable Singler of the dis appearance of the murdered man. Nothing of an incriminating nature was found on either man —Sun. “BLIND PIG” KEEPER FINED onmcnt of Nichols, who before the ap peal had been removed from the jail and kept under guard at a local hos Fire Destroys Mrs. Elmer’s Barn Petition of Butte Fells Women pital.
