RUFFLED A lone bandit with a revolver in each hand held up four men in the Fleming billiard hall at Monroe at 10 o'clock last night while he rifled the cash register of a sum between $12 and $20 and then vanished into the night. It is believed that he had an accomplice waiting in an auto nearby, for a moment after he went out of the front door a car drove slowly past and then disappeared. Orville Fleming, the proprietor; Ed Sands, night watchman; David Williams, a member of the village board, and Walter Engberg were seated near a card table by the Funeral of T. K.

K. Gandhi today laid down a new ultimatum to the British gov-' eminent demanding legislation to permit the down-trodden untouch-1 abies of India to enter the. temples from which they have been' barred for centuries. If the government refuses, Gandhi told the United Press correspondent, he will begin a new fast in mid-January. Ignoring rumors in London that the government probably would free him and thousands of other political prisoners on New Year's day, the wizened little man whom millions of Indians call "The Great Soul," declared he had definitely decided that action must be taken in regard to the untouchables issue.

Hie said he would give the government until mid-January to sponsor introduction of an enabling bill to remove the present legal difficulties to entry into the temple. If his demand is refused he will resume the "fast unto death" which be broke off only a few months ago when the government compromised on other demands. Gandhi appeared to be cheerful and in fairly good health when he received the United Press correspondent. He said, however, that his ankles pained him and his right hand is giving him much trouble, now being almost- useless. He is al services for Theodore K.

Entering in a crouching position, the bandit flashed the two revolvers and directed the men to "stick 'em up." "This is a real holdup," he told them as they hesitated, thinking for a moment that it was a practical joke.

To impress them with the fact that he meant business, he fired twice and then, with a third shot, buried a .22 calibre bullet in the top of the card table within two or three feet of them. It is believed the first two shells were blanks, as Fleming told Sheriff Kavanaugh today that he had since searched the place thoroughly and had found no bullet marks other than that of the one in the table. The intruder turned the key in the lock of the front door after entering and proceeded in a rather leisurely manner to extract the money from the cash register. He kept up a rapid-fire conversation during the five or 10 minutes that he was in the building, reiterating that the holdup was no joke and not "amateur stuff," asking them if they had any money and inquiring whether any other places in town were open. They told him they had no money, other than what was in the cash drawer.

"Are you married?" he asked. Fleming replied that three of them were married and that Engberg had a crippled arm. "Well, that's too bad," the bandit Active bearers were E. M. Ragatz, C.
