'April 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK ho ROBBER TRIO MEETS UP WITH OUR CHIEF Result: Chicago Bad Boys Are Now Repining in Dismal County Jail Cells The one hundred percent working efficiency of the Winnetka Police de- partment was again manifest Wednes- day evening when, within an hour after Al Ottone, a former Winnetka police officer, had shot it out with three stick-up men who attempted to rob his place of business, the Skokie Inn, Chief of Police W. M. Peterson had the trio safely behind the bars. The following morning, at a prelim- inary hearing before Justice R. E. Sinsheimer, the three Chicagoans, Al- bert Metz, of 3506 Potomac avenue; Herman Langhaus, 918 Nelson street, and Bruno Opst, 4115 Kenneth avenue, were bound over to the grand jury, and the bond of each placed at $25,000. Thus, within the past two weeks, six Chicago crooks who have sought new pastures in Winnetka without taking into account the police efficiency which the village boasts, are awaiting grand jury action under bonds totaling $155,000. Ottone Quick on Draw The Skokie Inn is located in North- field, west of Winnetka on Willow road. The three men entered Ottone's place, where Ottone, himself quick on the draw, answered their demand to "stick 'em up," with three shots from his six shooter, the while they sent four after their intended victim. None of the shots took effect, and the men ran out. Ottone telephoned the Winnetka police and Chief Peter- son encountered two of them between Ottone's place and Hibbard road, and the third culprit was landed a little later. Last Saturday morning when Dave Carston, Arthur Wurster and Wayne McCrary, the latter a former butler in the Henry C. Bartholomay home at 620 Spruce street, Winnetka, were ar- raigned before Police Magistrate Clark T. Northrup, charged with the sensa- tional hold-up of the Bartholomay's Monday night of last week, the three men were held to the grand jury, Carston and Wurster, each in bonds of $15,000, and McCrary, $20,000. Get a License or Draw a Summons, Chief Says The members of the Winnetka Po- lice department have received orders from -Chief- W. M. Peterson to issue a court summons for all drivers and operators of cars who have not ob- tained their 1928 state and village ve- hicle license. This also applies to de- linquent chauffeurs, too, it is said, so beware. FIND ANY KEYS? It is reported that a bunch of keys was lost in Community House and as a search of the building has failed to disclose any trace of them it was con- sidered possible that someone may have picked them up. The finder is asked to return them to Community House and receive the reward offered for their recovery. Webb School of Dancing to Give Benefit Program The Webb School of Dancing will present a "Dancing Entertainment" for the benefit of Community House in Matz hall, Community House, on the evening of April 30 at 8 o'clock. Tick- ets may be procured at the office. The Dancing Times, a publication of London, England, says of the Webb school: "There is always something re- markably refreshing about the enter- tainment provided by this school. Each item is something more than a mere exhibition of some form of dancing. "The program is full of pretty con- ceits, generally with a spirit of roguish mischief predominating. One could well imagine that Fred and Adele Astaire had graduated in some such school as this on the other side of the Atlantic." The entire program followed in the school is the original work of Mrs. Florence Webb, barring the authentic national dances, such as the Spanish dances, the Hornpipe and the Court dance of Henry VIII.

Scully has petitioned the Winnetka Village council to rezone a 50-foot lot at the Northeast corner of Chatfield and Locust roads from "A" residential to "B" commercial. The matter came before the council at its adjourned meeting last Friday evening at which time it was referred to the committee of that body on Plats and Zoning, of which Trustee Doris D. Benson is chairman. A similar peti- tion, it is said, was denied about a year ago. HAVE YOUR SHOES REBUILT You'll find there's a lot more service from your old shoes when you have them rebuilt.

Asks Council to Rezone Lot for Business Purposes Ayres Boal, owner of lot 16 of Mc- Guire and Orr's Arbor Vitae road sub- division at the northwest corner of Elm street and Arbor Vitae road, has asked that the tract be rezoned from "A" residential to "C" commercial. The matter is now in the hands of the Zoning commission before which body it is said a public hearing will probably be held before the commis- sion makes its recommendation to the village council. A petition for the change was re- ceived by the council at its adjourned session Friday evening of last week, at which time it was referred to the Zoning commission, in accordance with the usual proceedure in such matters. The tract involved is located in the business district of the village, being situated on Elm street between the Eckart hardware store on the west and Arbor Vitae road on the east.
