Kim proprietor of the Korean boarding house at Spring Canyon, and his wife suffered at the hands of two Mexican boarders Monday morning when Pete Montana, 26, and Pete Sena, 22, abused the two and escaped with $400 in cash, according to sheriff's office. Montana and Sena had been boarding with Kim the past sevHowever, Monday eral weeks. morning Sena did not go to work, but busied himself sweeping out the dining room. Montana took his lunch kit and departed as though going to work, however, he returned about 8 o'clock, and the two attacked the elderly proprietor and his wife. Kim was beaten until unconscious, and his wife bound and gagged, with a rope around her neck remaining in the painful condition until released some time later by neighbors. The Mexicans escaped with $400. Kim was approximately obliged to keep a large supply of cash on hand at the boarding house to accommodate the miners with their pay checks. The Mexicans departed in Kim's car, but they were apparently unaccustomed to driving for they tipped the car over in the snow pe:r Peerless, a few miles down e canyon from Spring Canyon. Sheriff S. M. Bliss and his deputies were able to trail the two in the deep snow across the canyon and up the mountainside to a steep ledge.

Superintendent R. J. Vaughn of the Utah railway offered the services of a motor car and two Mexican section hands to assist Deputy Sheriff Warren Peacock on the trail Tuesday. They were able to trace the men to a position where they were overtaken by a train of empties making the run to Hiawatha before noon Tuesday. Here their tracks stopped, and it is thought they either boarded the train, although they were not seen by any of the train crew, or else the suction created by the passing train might have served to obliterate their tracks. The train made the return trip later in the day, and although the crew were instructed to be on the lookout for the Mexicans, they were not seen. Sheriff Bliss and his deputies spent Wednesday in the Hiawatha district questioning Mexican residents, who might have aided in the hiding or escape of the two fugitives, Montana is described as 5 feet 10, 140 pounds, slender, with front teeth, large prominent mouth and lower lip. Sena is 5 feet 6, 141 pounds, and rather good looking. The two are known in the Spring Canyon district, where they have had employment for the past two months.
