FUGITIVES CAUGHT AFTER BEAVER JAIL BREAK BASKETBALL NIGHT FRIDAY MILFORD VS. THE PARO WAN RAMS. We want to correct an error in last week's paper, and apologize to those concerned. We stated that "for the first time" an orchestra played for a March of Dimes dance without charge, and no charge was made for use of Arion Hall. Since the paper was published we've been informed that Al Kirk has donated use of his hall on several occasions, and Vance Fisher, Jake Schow and others have played for the ball without charge. We're sorry and congratulations to Al, Vance and Jake for past public spirited services, and to Al and Jerry McDermott and his gang for this year's contributions. Publishing this week's News has been more than a chore Mike Brimberry and Glenn Gallagher have been laying a new floor in the building, and we've had boards and nails and shims and sawdust in our type, our hair, and on our mind. The job will all be finished soon, and along about March 1st we'll have an attractive office all ready to receive the new Kluge automatic printing press we've ordered.

BY SUPREME COURT Nearly a year after they were sentenced to die for the first degree murder of Howard Beaver service station attendant, Melvin LoRay Sullivan and Verne Alfred Braasch again are' looking to the United States Supreme Court to save them from the firing squad. The Utah Supreme Court on Friday denied the slayers' petition for a writ of habeas corpus, a move which will force Wally Sandack, chief counsel for the prisoners, to seek a writ of certiorari from the nation's highest Man-zion- e, court Rejection by the U S Supreme Court probably would result in Mr. Sandack's placing the matter again before U S District Judge Willis W.
