Station Hold-up' A (i'W minute earlier In the evening, at about U:3u o'clock, John U, Fanning, HO, ownur-op crulor ol the Time Oil company, 2UUU S. eth, locked hla acrvlc lutlon and walked toward a pickup pmkocl about a (iuirtcr of a block south on the street. A he approached the cur, a black Ford sedan drove up, cut ting across trnin the Intersection nf the rown Kqulpment compa ny. "I wai carrying a loud of run', about eight doon, and a clean pair of pant mid bud hint oponecl the door of the pickup when Iho car came aloud side. "The driver said. "Stick 'em up and don't move. "I didn't." "Then the other fellow not out and enme around the cur and told me to buck up. So I bucked up to him and he pureed ma and took everything t hud out of mv pockets, my wallet a. id key to the station nil muff. "lie Mid, 'abut up don't nuy nothing and walk down the street', He told me not to look hack. Ho I alerted walking until they left. Then 1 run buck, broke the door window nut In the hack, reached In and opened the door and called city police and then alote police. Shortly after hla call to au thorities, Fanning said Jack Elchendurf, 2446 Reclamation, brought him key to the pickup and lie reported to city police where Jncklin waa sitting In the chiefs office. Chief of Police Orvlllo Hamilton asked Fan ning: "Is this the same fellow?" running said It was. The ser vice station operator said Jnck lin was the driver of the cur and hi companion, Paine, was the "fellow Hint held tho gun" on him. It was Jacklin, according to running, that uttered the warning "stlck em up." Car Spotted As soon as Fanning' cull reached city police. Car No. 2, operated by Sam Malsbery, dri ver, and art Smith, was patrol ling on Mum near Esplanade. A moment Inter the officers spot ted 1037 blnck Ford sedan with a California license and carrying two men. They radioed hark to the station for further information and advised the desk man that the rora wouia not atop on warning and they "were going after it," It is opinion of city police that tha bandits' car left S. flth turning on East Main, coming tlirmiuh the undrruuss toward Main street. Officers followed i the car which turned off on N. flth and guve the siren Just be Jore the Jefferson street Inter section. At that point the officers said the black Ford went Into sec ond gear, whipped around the Jefferson street corner where it came to a sudden stop at the dead-end street. Malahcrv and Smith pulled to the left and called to the two men to come out. The exchange of shots enme but a moment la ter a Pnlne sent a barrage of shots toward the officers, three bullets penetrating the police car and barelv missing the offi cers. Two crashed through the windshield and Into the left door glass. At least nine shots were fired by the officer Into the black Ford. Jacklin stepped from the stall ed car with his hands over his head as officers called "Come on out with your hands up." But Palna chose to "shoot-It out" and snarled: "Come and gel me" and tent a blast from a sawed off .22 calibre rifle toward the officers. In tho exchange of gun fire and the capture of Jacklin, Paine made h I a get-away. Whether he scaled the six-foot canal or run through the ynrd of R, L. Sutton at 1019 Jeffer son, was still a matter of con ecture. Seconds Inter arowd gather ed and officers admitted they were hampered In their search by tho icore of residents, some chid In their night clothing. Of- fleers were bcselged by "wit- fnosses", some claiming they saw Paine hoist himself over the fence, others saying he ran through a nearby yard. The manhunt spread out from tOth and Jefferson to various parts of the city Including tho area back of The Horalri nnd News where two mysterious shots wore heard, and over to tho Modoc field section where an even larger crowd watched police combing the grandstand and grounds along the canal. Field lights were turned on to facilltnte the search. In the meantime, Jacklin had been handcuffed and placed In tho paddy wngon which had ar rived moments later with OUI- - cers Jack Linkenbnck and Paul Robertson armed with riot guns. Jncklin was transported to tho city Jail where the Snn Qucntin escapee told officers ho "was glad" he was caught." Chief of Police Hamilton was contacted by Warden Duffy late last night, the warden advising the chief he wns "glnd" Jncklin wn in custody but said that "Paine was wanted badly." The chief received a telegrnm this morning asking whether or not Klamtli authorities wished to prosecute here. Chief Hamilton snid ho had not had llmo to dis cuss the mntter with District At torney Clarence Humble as to disposition of Jncklin' case. - In a conversation with Cap tain M.

With more than two million voters, republican and demo cratic party lenders considered the results would give them their first indication of how the fiolitical winds arc blowing since ust November congressional election. Democrats have been In power in Chicago for the last 16 years, and their big city vote was a major factor in giving Illinois' electoral votes to the late Pres- I ident Roosevelt four times. How- (ever, the republicans, headed by Governor Dwight H. Green, won 4 of 17 offices In Cook county (Chicago) last November nnd they have waged a determined I campaign to win control of the city hall.

LEWIS orders his coal miners to quit their Job for six day as a memorial to the tragic deaths of 111 miners in Illinois. They obey his orders, This mourning period ISN'T a jood Idea. The memory of the dead miners would be better consecrated by a deed that would HELP the world .instead of in juring it. Whatever cuts down coal production in these dayi damage the world and make it a worse place to live in. Coal is a basic raw material and over much of the world peo ple are starving because ol'thc lack ol it. e TN this Illinois coal disaster. x there is a question that a yet nasn i Dcen sausiactoruy an swered. It is this: Did or did not the mine owners (or the gov. ernment, which is' in possession of the mines) neglect proper safety measures and thus con tribute to the cause of the ex plosion as a result of which the miners died? If they ARE GUILTY of auch neglect, they ought to feel the heavy hand of the law and the sting of the whip of public opinion. Down in the bowels of the earth is a terrible place to work, it is away irora the sun. It is away from all the beauties of the world. Miner are en titled to have the drab life they lead made a SAFE as human ingenuity can make it But there are better ways of dramatizing that fact than stop ping coal production at a time when lack of coal i one of the world s fundamental needs.
