LONDON', June 29. (By Associated

Dublin is increasing in intensity, says
a Central News dispatch f(om the Irish
capital at five o'clock this afternoon.
Irregulars on the outskirts of the be
sieged Four Courts district are receiv
ing reinforcements, Die message says.
Three civilians were killed in to
day's fighting, bringing the total num
ber of dead to nineteen. Business
houses, as well as banks, are closing,
the dispatch says, and the newspapers
have suspended publicationIrregulars
occupied the offices of the Evening
Herald for a time during the fighting
today.
DUBLIN, June 29. (By Associated
Press). Eamonn DeValera, in an inter
view granted today at tho headquar
ters of the republican party, eulogized
the Irish army dissentients who are
holding the Four Courts as "the best
and bravest In our nation."
"They, most loyally have obeyed the
will of the Irish people, freely ex
pressed, but are not willing that Ire
land's independence should be aban-

Insurgents Hold Out
DUBLIN, June 29. (By Associated
Press). Rory O'Connor's hnnd of in
surgent Irish republican army men
was still holding out in its Four Courts
stronghold at noon today against the
continuing attempts of the free state
troops to dislodge it.
Firing was 'in progress all the fore
noon and there was - an especially
heavy burst of 'firing at 11 o'clock.
Sniping operations were almost inces
sant, with the casualties estimated
this forenoon at more than 50, hourly
increasing. .
The insurgents have extended their
operations in other parts of the city.
Shortly before noon an umbush of free
state troops was reported from College
Green and the Irregulars were fortify
ing various outposts. A party of free
state forces on the watch for insurgent
activities poured a volley Into a public
house in the vicinity of yesterday's
ambush. . . . .
In addition to the various organized
operations of the insurgents their sym
pathizers In several parts of the city,
acting as snipers, made many attacks
on free state soldiers.
Meanwhile the replies froin, O'Con
' nor's men to the firing on the Four
, Courts were feeble. Tho garrison,
which is believed to number about 150
is said, however, to have unlimited
supplies of ammunition and plenty or
j provisions. ,.
I The provisional free slate govern
' ment has ordered that no passenger
trains shall enter Dublin.
This seems to point to apprehension
j that Rory O'Connor's forces might be
suuplemented by the arrival of his fol
lowers from the provinces, in some
1 parts of which the irregular army has
a strong support, .The same apprehen
sion seems evident in the manifesto
issued today by Richard Mulcahy, Dall
minister of defense, in which he makes
an eloquent appeal to the army, ex
plaining why it is asked to fight
against its old comrades.
Public Supports Government
Public sentiment from all indica
tions is virtually unanimous In support
of the government's action. The most
menacing feature of the situation from
the provisional government standpoint
is the fact that the insurgents are de
veloping activities along guerilla lines
particularly In the form of ambushes.
Telegraphic communication between
Dublin and the north and west of Ire
land Is practically at a standstill. A
numuer or wires uetween uuiuin ana
London were cut . last night near
Howlh. In other parts of the country
the provisional government also has
military affairs on Its hands. In Dro
gheda the insurgents, who are occupy-J
ing the round tower fort on the hill
commanding the town have been In-j
vested by the free state troops In the
sdme way as the Four Courts in Dub
lin. The Drogheda position of the
irregulars Is regarded as strong.
rrom otner parts oi ireiano inure
are many rumors of Insurgent action,
but the reports are difficult of confir
mation because of Dublin's almost
complete Isolation.

IN SISKIYOUS
.Man Who Robbed Go den Ru e
Store in Grants Pass Nab
bed in Local Hotel Leads
Officers to Cache On Sum
mit of Siskiyous.
GRANTS PASS, Juno 29. Breaking
down after being held In the county
Jail Bince Saturday, George Lee Vann
luesday night led the officers to a
cache in the Siskiyou mountains where
goods valued at $1013, stolen from the
Golden Rule store last week, were re
covered. Vann was arrested Saturday
night by Deputy Sheriff Ernest Lister,
who followed up a clue obtained the
morning after the robbery.
The goods, which consisted of sev
eral men's suits and a largo number
of women's tailored suits and dresses,
were cached near the summit of the
Siskiyou mountains. One bundle was
found In a hollow log covered with
bark and brush. A second bundle was
found In a wood rat's nest nlso well
covered. Vann led the officers around
in the mountains, being kept chained
for fear he might escape. He Is said
to have been paroled from the Wash
ington penitentiary while serving a
15 year sentence for grand larceny.
The officers picked up a long purse
the morning after the robbery contain
ing an envelope on which was written
the name "Lee Mann" addressed to
Medford. The officers went to Metl
ford and succeeded in locating a fam
ily by the name of Vann. The man
found was not the one wanted, hut he
gave the information that Lee Vann
would be found at the Holland hotel
whenever he was in the city, thinking
that the other man was wanted for
speeding. George Vann was found at
the Holland and was arrested and
brought to this city. He refused to talk
much yesterday when he was con
fronted with certain facts which the
officers had gleaned In their search.
He then promised to lead the officers
to tho spot where the goods were
cached.
Entrance to the Golden Rule was
gained through a second story window
which was sawed through, two Iron
bars having been removed. Tho goods
then were piled on a motorcycle and
taken from the city. Chief McLane
found two men who stated that they
had seen him wiring the loot on the
motor.
On the way back from the Siskiyous
the officers had a rather exciting ex
perience. As they were conning down
the hill, two men came out from the
side of the road, and pointed guns at
them. Deputy Lister and the sheriff
had their guns out when they saw the
men approaching and covered the
other two. The situation was rnther
tense for a moment until Mr. Lister
saw the star on one of the other men
and the whole situation wag explained.
It seems that the two were revenue
officers on the lookout for three men
In a Ford. The officers .qualified, hav.
Ing Vann with them. The whole party
grew a whole batch of vh te hairs In a
few seconds.
