Chartered busses brought 1,901 of the children to Intermountain school with the last 18 of 51 bus loads arriving Sunday.

Public schools and boarding schools on the route to Brigham City opened hospitable doors to the traveling yohngsters for rest and lunch stops. Sack lunches were prepared on the reservation. Greyhound buses left the reservation in the afternoons, traveled the 600 odd miles all night and arrived at Intermountain between six and seven oclock in the morning. There were a few car sick and home sick children in each load. The excitement of new clothing, new suitcases, and the final farewells exhausts the Navajo children. One boy was so excited about his prospective trip to Intermountain school, he deserted a 'herd of horses he was tending and was found at the bus departure point, with suitcase all of packed, three days ahead schedule. at Intermountain Arriving students school gymnasiums, and baggage was unloaded and lines of students filed in to report to academic heads of the previous year or to the new boys or new girls supervisors.

The highway robbers, dressed in boots, ievis and big hats, had hitched a ride with the Provo youth at Idaho Falls, Idaho. They told Johnson they were enroute to Wyoming. Johnson, headed for home after spending the summer with his father in Idaho Falls, picked the two up about 10:30 a. m. When they reached the Plymouth area they forced him to drive to a lonely spot where they pulled a revolver each from overnight bags and dumped him. In the car were a .22 caliber rifle, phonograph and caliber rifle, other personal effects and about $30 in cash. Johnson ran through the fields to secure aid, finally catching a ride to Plymouth about 45 minutes later where he contacted officers, including Sheriff Warren W. Hyde, Deputy Paul Johnson and Troopers Evan Green and William Sackett of the state highway patrol. Late Tuesday no trace had been found of the car or robbers. 2(5, PTA, Road Committee Calls For Steal Auto At A 5U BRIGHAM CITY, UTAH, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST Pair d Jr MlW!
