Fails To Reveal Trace
OF Bandit Pair.

Spreading a net of highway rob-
berries that began with the theft oil
an automobile at O'Clock last
night in Brawley and extended
from Seal Heights east of Ell Centro
almost to Plaster City on the San
Diego highway, two dirty, ragged
youths last night and early this
morning were responsible for four
holdups and two automobile thefts
The series of robberies is remini-
scent OF the wave OF stick-ups that
spread over Imperial Valley last
winter, and which resulted In con-
siderable lessening OF automobile
traffic on valley highways after
dark.
When II became evident at the
sheriffs office that the two youths
were running amuck on highways
cut of FL Centro two parties were
organized to patrol those highways.
Sheriff George L. Campbell headed
a party composed of George Evans.
deputy sheriff, and Gilbert Evans.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke and
Don Campbell formed another pa
troll.
The officers found traces OF the
robbers. but could not catch up with
them in their depredations.
The best description OF the
youths to be obtained gave them
as between l8 and "a years old, and
dressed in ragged clothes. Their
clothes were covered with grease
and dirt as If they had been en-
gagged in operating a tractor on
some farm.
At least S37, and possible more,
were taken from victims by the
highwaymen. Names of some OF
the victims were obtained by Ern-
est Clay. night jailer, but other ex-
cited telephone calls only informed
him that parties had been robbed
In two cases.
Started In Brawley
The activities of the youths were
first reported when c. M. Sullivan
reported his 1928 cabriolet had been
stolen from Rrawley at 8 o'clock
last night.
The car was recovered at Seal
Heights, where the two youths
staged their first robbery at $40,
threatening Frank Smith with re-
volvers, and taking his 1880 coach
and SO. The cabriolet was return
ed to Sullivan in Brawley. The
license number of Smiths car. used
In subsequent holdups, is 9B44ll.
Driving from Seal Heights to
point one mile west of the Ell Gen.
tro city limits on the San Diego
highway, the youths held up Lee II.
Miller, Joe Tormey and Bud Bald
win of San Diego, getting only sll.
Some time elapsed between the
first and second holdup. since the
second was at $40 this morning.
Ten minutes later the youths
stopped at service station in Seel-
ey. They informed the proprietor
they were from the sheriffs office,
and asked If he had heard of
holdup on the highway. He had
not, he told them. and they drove
on.
Another party was held up at 4:20
this morning between Plaster City
and Dixieland. Names of the vic
tins we're not given In the report
to the sheriffs office, nor was the
amount of money taken by the
robbers.
Driving to a point just east Of
Dixieland, the youths again stopped
a party of motorists, getting So
from them. Names were not given
when the victims reported to the
sheriff's office. This was at 4:30
this morning, and was the last
holdup reported.

Complete reassessment of real
estate in Center township-the first

ship assessor.
After receiving final instructions,
the deputies set out to equalize as
sessments on real estate and, thus
correct many errors said to have
been entered secretly in the asses
sor's books.
Cine Of the abuses which McClos-
key hopes to wipe off his books is
the practice "by which men Of great
wealth, who own large amounts Of
real estate, are paying taxes on x
ceedingly low assessments"
Dishonesty Is Barred
MeCloskey recently disclosed in
stances where the assessors books,
for years open to the public, have
been tempered with and assess
mentS lowered.
When the reassessment is COM
pleted, McCloskey said he will place
one set of official books under lock
and key ito pregent a recurrence of
such dishonesty"
The assessors deputies were to
be aided by several men from the
indianapolis Real Estate Board,
which also offered to provide ex-
perienced appraisers to help Nc
