Chicago, Oct. 27.-(AP)-Gustave Brunke, owner of a roadhouse near Richardson, Ill., and three friends from Burlington, Wis., Albert Mott, Archie Hempel and Henry Knies, were severely beaten and robbed twice during an all-night revel in the borderline counties of Wisconsin and Illinois.
Two men were arrested Tuesday by the Bellwood police and held as members of the second gang that held up Brunke and his friends. The suspects gave their names as Rudolph Rubis and Joseph Steck of Cicero.
They were driving a stolen automobile. A blood-stained revolver and clothing was found in their car and $264 they are believed to have taken from Brunke was found in the pocket of the machine,
Brunke drew out $894 from Richardson bank yesterday and started with his friends on a tour of roadhouses. About dawn they were held up near Elgin. Brunke was hit on the head with a pistol and the other men were beaten less severely. The bandits took $600 from Brunke, but overlooked $266.
Soon after the first robbers left another car drove up and its occupants offered to take the injured Brunke to a hospital. Instead they took the rest of his money.
