Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Two more neophites have been initiated into the Society of Ditch Jumpers Who Didn't Make It. They are Frank I'm Not As Old As I Look Woods, and Nels Sir Walter Raleigh Bogh. Frank got his dunking in the or-thodox manner which means he was irrigating but Sir Walter got his period. Frank was putting in a canvas dam on his farm and needed to be on the other side of audience mads up of the rest of the prospecting party plus the pas sengers in the California cars, en- -, joyed the scene very much and wanted an encore, but Nels and Betty were not in the mood 'for theatricals after their dunking and retired to the privacy of their cars where they did what they could about ringing out their clothes and returning home. So Nels and Frank made the society, but Mrs. Baker will only get E for effort, and will probably be made an honorary member, or they may make Nels and Betty do thhe act over so as to qualify Betty. T.nral arms of the law are tak- - joined that posse and went after the other man. It was rather a ing itt a little easy this week after a strenuous cross country chase of last week which involved first Dick Hayes, second, Carl Miller and Cliff Leavitt, and finally Jack Ben-nett. It all came about when some Lynndyl boys reported two thugs in Roy Nielson's store making themselves familiar with objects about the store, and with seeming intentions of appropriating them for their own use. Dick said, "Roy won't like that," and took o'L't to the store. The two men jumped into, their car and were off. But they didn't realize Dick had a pretty fast car him-self, and it was soon evident to the men that they would have to dark night and they were having difficulty locating the quarry, but finally they flushed him, only to lose him in the darkness. They were fortunate that the man used bad language because as he gal-loped about the field he came in-to violent contact with various fences and at those times the wires j would-squea- and then the posse could shout "tally ho" and then chase some more by following the loud cursing and the blue smoke. The chase lead merrily over hill and dale with the robber keeping about three fence posts ahead of the posse. At about daylight Dep-uty Sheriff Jack Bennett came al-ong on his return trip 'from Boise, and had in tow one Don Peterson ine stream tor some reason and t figured he could jump it. He got down close to the water and made his effort, but he claims that as he took off his feet slipped and that was the reason he landed in the ditch. But I think Frank is not as active as he was some years ' ago and either over estimated the width o'f the ditch, or else his mus-cles have hardened up to the point where it was in his head that he could make it, but not in his limbs. Anyway Frank landed in sitting position in the ditch wetting him-self thoroughly all over. That is all over, with the exception of one eyebrow. He managed to keep that dry somehow and is still wonder-ing how he did it. take off in the fields to get away, br else ram into the back of Dick's car as he had gotten ahead of them and headed them off. When the two took across coun-try Dick hurried for reinforcements and called Delta to get Carl and Cliff, and also rounded up a posse of men that looked like an army. As Cliff and Carl were boiling up the highway between Lynndyl and Leamington Cliff said to Carl, "that man standing by the side of the road is a stranger in these parts, so let's look him over." He cautioned Carl to make ready with his pacifier and jump out of the car when Cliff stopped. Carl got ready and had the door open but Cliff stopped so quickly that it threw Carl into the man with the barrel harpooning the man in the bread basket and the man let out a loud "whooomp" and slumped to the ground, cold as a woman's feet. It was some time before they had the man in a talking condit-ion and when he did talk he wan-ted to know what they were going to do to them about that Delta rob bery. That was news to the pur-suers and it later developed that they had broken into Hunsaker Motor company and had taken a tire and some cans of paint which they thought were oil. The officers were glad to have this matter clea-red up before they knew about it, which is mighty rapid solving of crimes. With the prisoner stashed away in safe keeping, Cliff and Carl who was being brought back here for questioning on the Baker Phar-macy burglary. Jack seeing the fun, handcuffed the prisoner to the car and joined the chase. It is not known what brought about the end of the man hunt, but it came to an end about day-light when the man walked over to the road and climbed into the car with Carl and Cliff saying he was pooped and would they do him the favor of locking him up. His request was granted. It seems that the two are grad-uates of some of the west's best pokeys. The one just out of San Quentin and the other had been in the Washington pen, done a little work for the state of Oregon while in detention there, and had just finished a post graduate cour-,s- e at Folsom in California. Their faces must be quite red to be such hot spit hot shots in the crime world and then come to a dropper out in west Millard, and all because some Lynndyl boys happened to be staying up late one night when they should have been in bed. It just goes to prove that if ou fiddle around long enough you are going to get caught when you stop to rosin your bow. Paul Reddy Kilowatt Ashworth writes from Richfield sending con-dolences to Doc Bird and his spar-rows. He suggests dangling a shiny can lid from the tree limbs. I already said Doc was running his radio and using up electricty which should keep Paul out of it, but He plans on putting a bridge there now so that he can get ac-ross without the dunking. Nels Sir Walter not only got his, but he ragged an innocent woman victim along with him. It seems that the Bohns and the Fred Bak- -' ers had been out to Painter Spring this past Sunday when a deluge hit Marjum Pass just as they got well up into it. It stopped the pro-specting party and they in turn stopped a bunch of California cars, which was a good thing because it seems California drivers rush in where angels fear to tread. As the Bogh-Bak- party had been prospecting suitable rocks and ore speciments were on their minds, and Nels and Mrs. Baker spied a rock that should have been plati-num or uranium and they started for it. A large stream roaring down the canyon stopped their progress and it was at this point that Nels got the Sir Walter urge and told Mrs. Baker he would carry her ac-ross. So saying he picked her up and started for the mother lode that was going to go $85,000 a ton. It may be possible that Nels was figuring on how to spend the money and it may be possible that he was a little overbalanced, and still it may be possible that Mrs. Baker was more of an armful than he bargained for. But anyway part way across Nels lost his footing, lost his Sir Walter urge, and lost Mrs. Baker as a piggy gack pas-senger. It is reported that the large he suggests something that would make the use of electricity nil. If he had thought it over I believe he would come up with a better one than that and one that would involve a heavy electric load, and no diesels. I believe it would have been better for Paul to suggest to Doc to put them in a deep freeze for a long time. Their future use would be a problem, but let's not cross our bridges until we have the spugs hard like. Toots. Garrison LaRue Rowley All ranchers and stockmen a happy group today.
