pains to pay splendid tribute to Chief
OF Police Gee and Night Policeman Heg-

arrested and brought these two burglars

In the case tried to take some capital
out OF the fact that they, Gee and Heg
gle arrested the suspects, searched them
and finding no eliminating evidence
turned them loose with an apology that
they might of been too hasty when the
two box car tourists went to Soda
Springs. Attorney Crozier characterised
that arrest and search as one OF the ciev-
crest piece of detective work ever pulled
On In Idaho. It completely disarmed the
burglars suspicion as to tie intent offhe
officers and gave them courage to come
back after the money they had secrefed
under Brennanes ware house where an
