Mrs. Hortense Sieber of Monticello and Iva Hatch of the Hatch Trading Post were enroute to Monticello from Bland-inand were a short distance from Verdure when they noticed a dark blue 1954 Ford pickup parked at the side of the road. A man was standing in back of the pickup and when they drew he stepped out onto the highway holding a gun. Just at that moment the headlights of an oncoming car shone on him and he quickly hid his gun, got into the truck and drove off. Mrs. Sieber reported the incident to Sheriff Seth Wricht as jCf!23f'(a Navajos Hold First Unsupervised Election g March 19, 1955 will see a new name on one of Momieellos markets.

The customer checking groceries through the stand when the alarm rings will receive a large basket of groceries free. If the customer has completed his transaction, and the till has been closed before the alarm rings, the prize will go to the next person in line. Refreshments will be served and roses will be given to the ladies attending. There are to be in grocery several specials items for sale that day, and a new operaprice policy for every-dation will be inaugurated. Mr. Lyman and Mr. Coombs believe that in order to meet modern day super-markcompetition in the area, prices must be lowered. One way to do this is to adopt a cash and carry policy, Leonard A. Higgins, deputy representative of Civil Defense from Salt Lake city, was in Monticello recently for a conference with A. J. Redd, San Juan county director of Civil Defense. Plans were made for the training of local citizens to assist as wardens, in law enforcement and in giving first aid.

His car doors were jammed by the wreck and could not be opened, so the boys went after Fred Henderson, highway patrolman. It is believed that Mr. Allred died at about 1:30 a.m. and that he probably went to sleep at the wheel. His car was badly damaged it has been reported. Mr. Allred had gone to the basketball game at Cortez with his daughter, Mernice, on Monday evening.

When the car 'turned over the door was sprung open and Mr. Jaramillo was thrown out but escaped unhurt. The pickup was completely demolished said Bob Young, deputy sheriff, who investigated at the scene of the accident.

However, the mail truck shows no marks or signs of having struck or been struck by another car. Horace Buchanon, driver of a state truck, came along right after the accident and said that he had not seen the mail truck.
