Friday on a deserted stretch on U. S. Highway 6, 45 miles west of Delta in Marjum pass. They were James S. (Sib) Ross, with his. wife and their old son, Jimmie, and their parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ross. The family had left Delta an hour earlier to go to Ely, Nevada. They were hailed to a stop by ' one of three men walking west along the highway. Two of the men carried suitcases. Just a few minutes before, the Ross party had stopped to investigate an overturn-ed Oldsmobile sedan. Thinking the three were probably passengers of the wrecked car and needing help, the Ross car stopped. DEMAND CAR AND MONEY Two of the men stepped to the , one ai eacn iront door, snow-ing their guns, one man said, "Get out, and get out fast. We want your car and your money." The third, man stood by without a word during the incident. Sib Ross was driving a new Hud-son sedan, just bought the week before. In the front seat with him was his father, and the women and child were in the rear seat. Threatened by guns, the family got from the car, and then the men took wallets containing about $70 in currency from the men, and one of the robbers snatched a handbag from the wrist of the el-der Mrs. Ross. SPEED AWAY Then the men ordered the fam-ily to start walking. They allowed them to get some blankets and the little boy's coat from the car, and then jumped in the car and sped off. The Ross family had walked to- - ward Delta about 20 minutes when they were overtaken by a truck. The driver stopped to pick them up, and hearing their story, said he had just passed the stolen car which was travelling at a high rate of speed. When they came again to the ov erturned Oldsmobile two other trucks had stopped there, and the occupants of one told Mr. Ross that they were approaching when the Ross family were first looking over the wreck. And that they saw three men watching from the hillside above, and then saw them run away. There was no license plates on the overturned car, or identification. It was on its top, with wheels in the air. Returning to Delta at 11 a. m., the robbery was reported to O. J. Bennett, deputy sheriff, who im-mediately sent out alarms to neigh boring counties and White Pine county officers at Ely. He and Mrs. Ross then returned to the scene of the robbery for further invest-igation. ROBBERS NABBED That same afternoon the three men were apprehended and the car found, in good condition. Two with the car, were taken into cus-tody at Milford. They were William McCillivray, 19, and William E. Solbrig, 20. The third man. Harold Lee Roy Franklin, 25, was arrested at Baker, Nev., and held in the Ely jail. The trio told officers they had driven from Providence, R. I., since last Sunday when they had stolen an automobile. That was the car wrecked in Marjum. Before reach-ing Milford they had put the Rhode Island license plates they had with them on the car stolen from Mr. Ross. The two arrested at Milford had about $20 of the stolen money on them . They said the other was given to Franklin when he separ-ated from them to go to Baker. The only weapon found was a .32 automatic pistol on the seat of the car. Monday afternoon the three ap-peared in Justice court in Delta before Francis B. Chesley, justice of the peace. They were charged with the crime of robbery, a felony on a complaint by O. J. Bennett. The three waived preliminary hearing and were bound over for the district court in Fillmore. Bonds were set at $1000 each, and unable to raise the amount, they are be-ing held in the county jail at Fill-more until their appearance before. Judge Hoyt. FJflon Cafioou Shot in Arm Eldon Cahoon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cahoon of Oasis, was shot in the- arm Tuesday in an ac-cident with a gun. It was a surface wound In his left arm, several inches below the shoulder. Permits to be Sold For Coming Pheasant Hunt Five thousand hunters are ex-pected in the west Millard area for the pheasant season this year and sp'ecial permits for that num-ber have been ordered. These per-mits will be issued in badge form and must be worn by every hunt-er during the full pheasant season. They will cost $2.00 each and will allow the hunters to hunt on all of the land signed up by the Farm Bureau here. As of Monday 23,000 acres nan been arranged in the special area, with about 18,000 ' more acres expected before the season opens. The tags may be purchased at almost any store in west Millard, and before the hunt begins booths will be put up on the streets so that hunters may get their per-mits with as much speed as pos-sible. The money obtained from the sale of permits will be turned ov-er to the hospital committee for a new hospital for west Millard. There will be two open seasons this year, the first opens at noon Saturday, Nov. 11 and closes Sun-day night, Nov. 12. The second sea son will open Saturday noon, Nov. 18 and close on Sunday evening, Nov. 19. Land on which the farmers have livestock and do not want hunting of any kind will be posted to "No Hunting" and closed completely. About 100 extra wardens will be deputized to check on these clos-ed areas, and to check on the hun-ters makinir euro thai iant. Pheasants are not so numerous as last year, due to the late spring and also to the use of parathyion which killed many of them in the fields sprayed with 4 that type of bug poison.

Annual Deer Hunt Will Begin Next Saturday An estimated 100,000 hunters will be in the hills this year on the opening day of the deer hunt-ing. This year is expected to set a record for the number out after their deer. How many will get their deer remains to be seen at a later date when the season has closed. Hunters in the Oak City and Dry Creek areas are asked to watch for tagged deer, as the department of interior has been carrying on a tagging operation there for sev-eral years. About 140 fawns have been tagged there in the past four years and from this tagging pro-gram the department hopes to learn more of the migrating habits age classes of harvested deer, and aiso me percentage ot deer tagged that are bagged by the hunters. If a hunter gets a tagged deer in this area he is asked to report the fact at the checking station in Oak City or to the local game warden, Eb Stapley. The hunter who gets one of these tagged deer is asked to save the head until it can be picked up for later study by the department. ' Hunters are hoping for a storm prior to the hunt as many of the leaves are still on the trees mak-ing it harder for the hunters. Also the hills are so dry that there is a definite fire hazard unless some rains come to wet it down. With so many in the hills this year hunters are urged to be ex-tremely careful in their shooting so as to avoid accidents and any-thing that a hunter would regret later.
