FOUR JUVENILES HELD FOR GAS THEFT Four Payson juveniles who were allegedly caught Friday night stealing gasoline from an automobile owned by Wallace Greaves, Satitaquin, were apprehended early Saturday morning and turned over to the Third district juvenile court officials, according to Deputy Sheriff Merrill Smith, Payson. Mr. Greaves reported to Utah county law enforcement officers that when he caught the boys stealing the gasoline from his car they ran and jumped into their own car and drove off. Although Mr. Greaves said he fired shotgun blasts into the rear tires of the fleeing machine, the boys kept right on driving. Later officers found the car with the front smashed, apparently after it had been driven into a ditch. The boys were picked up Saturday at 6 a.m. near Santaquin and brought to Provo, where they were turned over to juvenile ENGAGEMENTS WEDDINGS AND Mrs.Merrill Smith arrived home leading scorers and Page played Tuesday from Seattle where she a good floor game.
