YOUNGSTERS IN BIG MARMON
CAR MAKE GUN PLAY and
ARE LATER LANDED IN JAIL

II Il.
Newman noticed big Marmon auto
mobile bearing Arizona license No.
1919 at the Harvey House. He look
ed the car over and questioned the
sWo young men who were in it. He
asked them where they acquired an
Arizona license, they stated they
had secured it at Phoenix, but when
further questioned as to what towns
they had come through from Phoenix
to Winslow. they appeared to be
muddled. Sheriff Newman likewise
became suspicious and took the
young men into custody pending
some further inquiry concerning the
car and the young men. They drove
20 the garage of the Bazell Motor Co..
took on gasoline, bought some radia-
tor dope, and were told to drive the
machine into the garage to await the
results of the inquiries. AS they
drove to the entrance of the garage.
Sheriff Newman stepped ON the run
ming board, and the driver of the car
stepped on the accelerator while the
other young fellow thrust an auto
matte into the stomach of the sheriff
| and suggested that it was time for
him to get off Sheriff Newman
promptly got off. At thid time the
car had attained considerable speed
and when Newman hit the ground
he was thrown, thiting his head on
ground and cutting a considerable
cash above the temple on the right
side OF the head. He was assisted to
the dental office of Drs. Gilpin and
Ramage and DR.. Sprankle called In.
/ The wound was dressed and a short
time afterward the sheriff took after
the fleeing Marmon which had gone
west at 40 or SO miles an hour on
West Second Street.
Just as the trouble began City
Marshal Ed. Gardner on horse back
drove out of the alley and seeming
trouble called a car from the garage
and with driver started in hot pur-
suit Although Gardner sighted the
Marmon on several occasions he was
unable to overtake it and running
out of gasoline, were compelled to
quit the race near Meteor Mountain
and with borrowed fuel came back
to Winslow Sheriff Newman contin-
ued his search and finally found the
Marmon car in the bottom of small
canyon but the occupants were not
there. The car was brought back to
Winslow and is now at the BaZell
Motor Co. garage, seemingly but lit
tie the worse for the trip 9th r than
badly used tires and rims. The car
showed a monogram G upon the sides
and it was evident that portions of
the monogram had been destroyed.
An attempt to bring the letters to
view would indicate that there were
three letters in the monogram. 1t is
uncertain what they were.
M. d. Glenn, aged 20 and P. |.
Lowney, aged FL, were arrested yes
terday morning at the Harvey house
by Officer l.. w. Gibson of the Santa
Fe service. These two young men
had arrived in the city from the west
about $50, walking and carrying
load of baggage. They ate breakfast
and registered at the hotel When
arrested they said they were from
Omaha but Officer Gibson thinsk one
of them is from Sioux City where
| Gibson was at one time a police Of
ficer. When arrested Lowney had
80 Colts automatic on him and he is
recognized as the man who showed
the gun into Sheriff Newman's stom-
ach. Glenn was the driver of the car.
Both have been ident flied by the
sheriff and also by the employe at
the garage that served them with
gasoline Others have also undoubt-
edly recognized them. They were re-
membered to have had on rubber
heeled shoes when here and the i'm
prints of these heels lead from the
abandoned car toward Winslow. and
were trailed to the outskirts of the
city last night by Sheriff Newman
and the Young fellows still had the
rubber heels when arrested although
thew showed the wear of the long
night walk.
It has not been learned at the pre-
sent writing where the probably sto-
len car came from. While it bears
an Arizona license, this could easily
have been substituted. Where the
owner of car may be, is another
question. His body may be hidden In
some dark canyon back along the
road over which the car has been
driven. or he may be living and Won
dering where his car may be. We
hope the latter is the case, but Ari-
IONA has had several instances late
years where a motorist has been
murdered his body disposed OF and
the murderers continue on with the
stolen car. A Thorough investigation
will be made by the authorities be-
fore action will be taken, further per-
haps, than to hold nthe young men
under a charge of assault.
The cut received on the head by
Sheriff Newman was deep. cutting to
the bone, but will undoubtedly heal
quickly under treatment
