The three men arrested--John Ruschli, Jacob Steinbuck and George Mellison, all of Evanston--were ap- prehended this week and the two former have been held over to the grand jury under $2,000 bonds. The case of Mellison will be heard the first part of next week by Justice D. M. Mickey of Wilmete. These men, with the exception of Mellison, who is believed to be a Jrovice at the interesting art of burglary, are believed to form the nucleus of the gang which has raid- ed the liquor stores of families in Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenil- worth and Evanston. Of the other members of the gang--Walter (Dutch) Schumacker and William (Shrimp) Gidd have fled from the vicinity, and Peter (Hard-boiled) Smith has been apprehended recently by the Evanston police.

On January 1, 1920, the Bureua of Crop Estimates of the United States De- partment of Agriculture estimated the total value of horses on farms in this country at $1993,000,000, or just a little below the value of milk cows.
