They will be held in Duchesne, pending action of the U. S. Attorneys office in Salt Lake City. They were apprehended Tuesday afternoon, when Davis was caught leaving the Stanton Garage with Army blankets, enroute to the Moon Lake CCC camp from the Price laundry. Anderson and Casper were seen in a shed near the garage when Davis was intercepted, but made their escape by running to cover in the bushes along the Duchesne river Northwest of town. They were later taken into custody, and taken to the Duchesne jail. Ten Army blankets in all have been recovered, out of the seventeen reported missing by Camp CCC to which they were being returned from the Price laundry. Captain Bittman and Lt. Elting camp officers, and Mr. Maxfield, in charge of the commissary, were present at the investigation Thursday to identify the recovered blankets, and report on the number missing.
