PALMER AND BOY
EVADE OFFICERS
BY ONLY A DAY

That Harry Palmer, 40, alleged
kidnapper of Richard Grant, 12-
year-old boy of Long Beach, were
in Clark county just one day ahead
of the Los Angeles officers last
week, has been ascertained by the
sheriff's office.
The couple called at Wheaton
Springs station on the Los Angeles
highway one day last week, and
asked the operator if there was
any way to reach Taft and Bak-
ersfield without going through Bar
stow or Daggett.
Not having heard of the hunt
that was on, the proprietor of the
place, stated that he thought there
might be such a route, but unless
one was we'll acquainted with the
country it would be inadvisable to
try it.
The following day the Los An
geleS officers stopped at the sta
ton on their return trip from Las
Vegas, and upon telling of their
quest, and describing Palmer and
the boy, the proprietor of the place
who is one of Clark county'S reliable
citizens, at once recognized the visi-
tors of the day before.
That they did not go through
Barstow or Daggett has been es-
tablished, and it is thought prob
able they may have turned at
Baker, going through Death Val
ley, and out over the western en-
trance to the valley.
The old Dodge roadster which
Palmer had been driving when he
made his getaway had been ex-
changed for a Hupmobile roadster
of ancient vintage, which had bad
ly damaged tenders in front and
on both sides.
While officers are positive the
hunted man is not in this section
of the country at present, they are
keep a sharp lookout for him, in
case he decides to return.

TO CLASH HERE
MILLION DOLLARS MAY
BE SPENT BY INFLUX
OF FIGHT FANS
EXCLUSIVE

A deal whereby the world
championship middleweight
boxing contest will be staged
in Las Vegas, perhaps on July
q 4, was revealed TO The Age to-
day by an authoritative spOkes-
man.
The bout, which Is being
promoted by Jack KearnS, for
mer manager for Jack Demp-
sey and Tom Kennedy former
heavyweight contender and
motion picture actor, is said to
have taken definite and form
a&fve position on the schedule
Of sports for the coming year.
Ideal Location
It has been pointed out that no
better location for championship
match could be picked than Las
Vegas since many who are desir-
Gus of viewing the site of Boulde,-
Dam will have an opportunity to
do so through the plans Of the
promoters of the contest. 1t is said
that ticket to the bout will Ell
title the holder to a trip to the
dam site free of charge.
The ideal railroad facilities af-
forded Las Vegas is another i'm
portant factor in the decision of
orI KAnoodU
Means Million Dollars
The matter of a million dollars
in cash coming into Las Vegas as
a result of the bout has stirred
business men to a point of sharp
since the promoters Of the
match are not asking a single pen
ny from the city or the business
men in support of the project.
1t is conservatively estimated that
$4,000 persons would attend the
bout. An average of twenty dollars
will be spent by each one. This
alone is a boon to Las Vegas 5usi-
ness.
Pick Location
"A lOCdl4OIl lO4 OltC giant al CLIO
will be picked, perhaps Saturday,
when Kennedy is due to arrive In
the city from Los Angel IS.
In the meantime the promoters
are busy making plans with the
railroad companies and matters in
cidental to the construction of the
arena.
Another feature of the planned
match is that the state Elks will
hold their convention here July 4,
S and 6. The following week the
national convention of the Elks
will be held in Los Angeles and 1t
is expected that several Thousand
will avail themselves of the invita-
tions sent by the Nevada herds to
stop in Las Vegas and view the
Black Canyon site of the great
Boulder Dam.
