Ward, Friday, Jan. 13, at 3 p.m Returning from a trip to California Wednesday evening of last week, Sheriff Warren Hyde reported that the arrest of Ralph Hunsaker, 26, formerly of Tremonton. will probably help clear up a series of cases that the sheriff's department has been working on for the past two years. Hunsaker was arrested in Los Angeles on a burglary charge, and bulletins that had been broadcast by the sherriff s office linked him with the unsolved events in this area. Among the cases which Sheriff Hyde hopes to have cleared up with Hunsaker's alleged confession are the two fires at Chases Cafe, the first on October 11, 1954 and again on October 30, the same year with an estimated damage of $10,-000.0- 0. On December 18, 1954, the Tremonton store of the Lumber Company was entered and guns, shells and binoculars were stolen at a loss of about $425.36. Steed's Dairy Bar was entered December 18, 1954 with a loss of about $15.00. Also listed in the series of Tri-Sta- te crimes was the taking of five tires from the Jay Dee Harris station about the same time. Ern's Cafe was entered November 25, 1954 and $465.00 was reported taken. The same date the Western Billards was entered and $67.00 was taken, along with a case of beer and a smoking pipe. In the latter part of 1954 the Dick Harper's Fruit stand was broken into and a cash register was taken. Hunsaker is reported as telling the sheriff that he had removed the machine and broken it open, upon finding no money he returned the machine, setting it outside the building. The clearing of these burglaries and the two arson cases has ended a long investigation by the sheriffs department, some details have been handled nearly everyday since the crimes were committed. Considerable merchandise was recovered. Hunsaker is being held by the Los Angeles authorities pending further investigation, and court action by them. Sheriff Hyde said a warrant will be issued in this county to take custody at a later date. |
