Show TWO DESERTERS VISIT COPPERTON Two soldiers from Kearns, one 18 years old and pne 23 years old, escaped from the guard house Tuesday morning and made their way to the Robbe Precipitation Precipi-tation plant about 5:30 p.m. where they stole a jacket, a pair of overalls and a workman's lunch. A call was sent to Deputy Sheriff J. L. Householder and Chief of Police R. J. Contratto, but the deserters had gotten a-way a-way before the officers arrived. They were chased in the general direction of Herriman and Riv-erton Riv-erton until dark, when the officers of-ficers gave up the foot race and returned to Bingham. Major Flynn of Kearns and 15 military police hunted without success over the country in which the missing pair were last seen. According to the story from Kearns, the escapees were not missed until dinner time. |
