Young Airman Is Slugged, Robbed And Left By Road A3c Arnold L. (LeAur. Shields coming home for the funeral of his grandmother, Mrs. Effie S. Jus-tesen, was beat over the head, robbed and left unconscious Sat-urday by three unscruplous ruf-fians. LeAur had obtained leave from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, to come home for the funeral ser-vices Sunday. He hoped to travel fast, and planned to hitch-hik- e as far as he could. . He soon was plckedup and given a ride with three men, two of whom were negroes, and the oth-er a white man, who were travel-ling in a car with a California lic-ense. As they neared Hagerman, Ida., the driver pulled into a side road LeAur told them he didn't go that wiay, and for a reply got a blow on the head from the white man. He was groggy when they took him from the car, and ordered him to pass over his money and valuables. So LeAur handed over the change from his pockets and the wristwatch he wore, a Christ-mas gift from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Shields. Then the trio demanded his cap and tie, and told him he was not fooling them any, as they knew he had a wallet hid on him. LeAur was getting slightly irked by then ,and thought; about that fcvallet, and where he had it hid in a pocket in his duffle bag. He al-so thought of record of 32 "shots" in his wallet and the 'fact that if he lost them he had to start all over again. So he landed a hay-mak- on one negro which knocked him to the ground, and he kicked the sec-ond smack in the mouth. He was highly gratified to see that the man's teeth were then an inch or so farther back in his face than before. Just then the white man swung a club on his head, and LeAur took the count. The stick-u- p occurred about 5:30 Saturday afternoon. At 11 o'clock that night LeAur regained con-sciousness to find himself in a ditch at the side of the road, bloody and wet. The men had gone through his duffle bag, and his clothing was strewn all around. But they had not found the wallet Apparently they had rushed off , with his watch, money, hat and tie. LeAur made his way on into Hagerman, where he obtained help and remained overnight. He came on to Delta by bus, arriving Sun-day night. He couldn't have worn his hat if he had had one, because of the two large lumps on his head. He had a five day leave, and left Delta Wednesday to return to Mountain Home.
