COUPLE OF ALLEGED EXTORTIONERS TAKEN juocai Man One of Pair Alleged to Have Tried to "Shake Down" Lithuanian Saloon Keeper. Leo. Bolchune. of thltfcitv. and An thony Sad wick, of Miner' Mills, were arrested last night on information of John Shimalenski, a saloon keeper in the Fourth ward, who alleges that the pair tried to "shake him down," or in other words to extort money from him, holding as a threat over his head in formation that he sold liquor on Sun day.

The arrest wa? made by Detective William Kupchin, who says he heard tho bargain being made in one of the public rooms of the Eagle Hotel. Kupchin arrested the two men and gave Bolchune into the charge of a special officer. TJolehune made a dash for liberty and got away from the officer. He was taken again this morning in Wilkesbarre and will be given a hearing thi 4 afternoon by Al derman Smith. Kupchin says that Bolchune will plead guilty and impli cate the other man According to Kupchin, and Bol chune corroborates, him partly, twp men.

secUre1 'nformatlon that Shimalenski sold liquor on Sunday and last night telephoned up to him to Wt them at the Eagle Hotel. Shi malenski, before going, notified Kupchin of the message he had received, and the detective had him appear and swear out warrants against the pair, charging them with attempted extor tion. Shimalenski then proceeded to the Eagle, followed by Kupchin with the warrants, and the three men pro. ceeded to a room behind the bar. Kupchin says he secreted himself In a lavatory and heard this proposition made: Bolchune and Sad wick present ed a summons from Justice Miller, of Swoyerville and then said that Shi malenski should pay them 15 and they would withdraw the charge, thus saving him a fine of JiO.

The saloon keeper was to hand over some marked money, but before this Bolchune left the room and Kupchin entered, thinking the transaction had been completed. When Sadwick saw Kupchin he refused to take the money and walked out to Main street, where he was arrested. He was taken befqre Alderman Smith and three charges, attempt to extort, impersonating a de. tective and carrying concealed weapons, were preferred against him. He would have nothing to say and was held under $600 bail for his appearance at court.

He sj.ent last night in the city lockup and will be removed to the county jail today. Bolchune has but one charge against him. The two men are said to have aecur ed evidence of Sunday soiling against 17 saloon keepers in this city, one of them a central city restaurant proprJe jtor. Most of them are Polanders and those Interests! in the prosecution of the pair think they intended to ap nroach them one at a time for the set tlement of pending cases. Sad wick it is understood, claims that Bolchune secured the information against' the places and then called him ipto the case.

Bolchune says he wag. merely a catspaw for Sadwick and was induced to enter the compact through the urging of Sadwick. THE DAY IN COURT.
