NUMBER 4 DUCS3SNE- Ucrcd view point ' old hitchhiker was A being held in the ' Duchesne County Jail Wednesday for investigation of a hold-uspree. William Russell. 23. a transient who gave his address as Texas and Oklahoma, eras apprehended by city and county lawmen after he forced Arnold Schulthes. Vernal, to relinquish his car and $30. in cash Tuesday Sight. Mr. Schulthes. a Vernal contractor and former resident of the Nine Mile area, had given the hitchhiker a ride from this side of Salt Lake City. About 17 miles west of Duchesne on Highway 40, Russell pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and told Mi. 8chulthes this is a stick-un- . Schulthes had only small change in the line of money, and in order to escape injury, promised the hitchhiker- that he would get him some money in Duchesne where he was known and could get a check cashed. At the Utoco Service Station, attended by Douglas Horrocks, Mr. Schulthes obtained $30 in cash and threw it into the car man. Russel to the hold-uy made a up the Indian Canyon road. Douglas Horrocks notified peace officers, and the several-hou- r search began, headed by City Marshal Harold Thomas, Sheriff Arzy H. Mitchell, and Highway Patrolman Howard Powell. The fugitive found refuge among the curious crowds which gathered on main street. Hs talked with Justice of the Peace Geo. H. Wilcken, who told him he probably could find a room at the Duchegne Hotel. The man checked in at the hotel, then ate his dinner at the Ute Cafe. When the description of the hold-u- p man was given to Judge Wilcken, he pointed out the fugitive. He was not apprehended immediately because lawmen feared loss of life of bystanders should the armed man re sist arrest. Russell was apprehended later .in his hotel room. Re had patronized a circus in town, where he had . spent. tha of the $30. It is reported that Russell is wanted for armed robbery in Nevada and for being absent without leave from the U. S. Army. His arraignment was to have been set for Thursday. 23-ye- ar kA NATION MAKES READY FOR A MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION p Democratic America last week concluded the second major party convention in Chicago when the Democrats met and nominated their standard bearers for the coming presidential election that promises to be one of the most interesting and possibly tightest political battles of all time. Chosen by the Democrate to head their ticket was Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, with Senator John Sparkman of Alabama as his running mate. Both men rate high as fine American gentlemen and are considered the best possible material that could be placed before the American people for their consideration come November 4, 1952. Two weeks in advance of the Democratic convention, the Republican party left the Windy City with a national ticket that is headed by two men who, through their past experiences and contributions to a nation, are equally capable and deserving of the confidence of the American people as they prepare to select an administration to replace tile political leaders now reposing in Washington. A couple of months ago I expressed my personal opinion in this column that I felt it was time the United States had a change in Washington. Im still very much of of the two major that opinion and since the wind-uparty conventions in Chicago, it looks like we will have a change. Although President Harry Truman indicated Stevenson was his man when he had his delegate vote cast in his favor at the convention, it is the opinion of those who know Governor Stevenson that he is not a rubber stamp for the Truman forces. General Dwight Eisenhower, although a Truman military appointee, has indicated as Republican presidential nominee that he will clean house in Washington if his party is swept into power. It has been my pleasure to meet and talk with Senator Richard Nixon of California, candidate on the GOP ticket. He is young, intelligent and a very impressive leader who made his place on the ticket because of his activities in the Congress of the United States, especially in the famous Hiss trial. The American people should be a relieved people in the knowledge that they have .the privilege of choosing between two fine Americans in the coming election. It is apparent that, regardless of political prejudice, the government of the United States will be in good hands with either General Eisenhower or Governor Stevenson as its president during the ensuing four years. v E v Drivers are safer when the roads are dry; and the roads are safer when the drivers are dry. - ... p . p get-awa- al .
