Sheridan Working on the theory that someâ€" one stationed inside the fort had coâ€" operated with Chicago gangsters, army officials are probing the theft of a machine gun and several thousâ€" and rounds of regulation army amâ€" munition from Fort Sheridan last wee This daring theft was the second of its kind brought‘to the attention of army officers. Last July a maâ€" chine gun was stolen, with several thousand rounds of ammunition. It was never traced. Chicago racketcers, in need of armâ€" ament and probably unable to secure an automatic gun in any other manâ€" ner,: took the guns, officers believe. Then, desiring ammunition tofit the gun, same gang slipped through the guards last week, smashed their way into the storehouse and took the amâ€" munition, regulation .30 calibre. The machine gun, one of a shipâ€" ment to army headquarters at Des Moines, Iowa, was missing when the crate containing the other guns reached officials there. Investigation disclosed that the gun had been missâ€" ing from its container ‘when it left the fort two weeks ago. Gangsters could not have stolen the gun from the shipment without the aid of confedcrates in the fort, army officials said. Realizing this, they beâ€" zan a quiet search. ~ Read Our Wantâ€"Ads ‘Starting Today â€" October 2nd CONFEIDENCEâ€"SAXLE 19 So. St. Johns Avenue _ Telephone H.
