JONES AND WESTROPE HELD UP ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, 111., July f — Jockey J. Westrope and Ben A. Jones trainer of the extensive stable of T. C. Worden were the victims of two gunmen Friday night who accosted Jones in the yard of his residence and then took him into the house and bound him with rope. They waited for Westrope, who came along a little later. Fortunately, Jones, who seldom carries any large amount of money, got off with the loss of his watch and some cash, while the loot from Westrope amounted to about ten dollars.
