SHERIFF FAILS
TO OBTAIN ANY
TRACE OF We'll

Almost the last hope that the
desert of Coyote Mountains will give
up any trace of George We'll, 55,
Coyote Wells homesteader, was lost
last Saturday wnen Sheriff George
L. Campbell returned from an ex-
haustive search of the mountains
end desert to report he found no
trace of We'll.
Canyons and desert gave the
sheriff no clue to the whereabouts
of the missing man. He said this
morning there is doubt as to wheth-
er the secret of Wells disappearance
will ever be solved.
Returning to FL Centre from Co.
vote Mountain, Sheriff Campbells
automobile became stuck in the deep
sand of a desert road. Alone, he
could not move it. Perspiring free
ly from efforts to move the car,
Campbell finally sought the shade
of a tree and waited for Undersher-
if Rodney Clarke.
Campbell left word at the sher-
ifs office before leaving some of
his officers were to come for him
should he fail to return by noon.
Clarke found the sheriff waiting,
and pulled his car out of the sand.

PEDDLINC FISH
CAUSES WORK
FOR OFFICERS

There seemed to be something
fishy about the whole thing, so Roy
Gillett this morning arrested j. w.
Arrasmith, 50, on a charge of ped
ding without license.
Bill Mitchell was the first city Of
flcer to become embroiled in the
affair. Early this morning he an
swered a telephone call TO find Ar
rasmith peddling fish TO markets in
Ell Centro. Mitchell told Arrasmith
about the city ordinance prohibit
ing peddling without a license, and
the asserted offender promised to
desist.
Later Roy Gillett answered an
other call, and found Arrasmith
still peddling fish. So Gillett took
him to the police station. The ped
dler said he was working for local
market. A call to the market, said
officers, brought a denial from the
proprietors. So Arrasmith was
booked.
A very few minutes later Gillett
answered another call from local
merchant, and discovered another
man peddling fish. He also was
taken to the police station. He was
working for Arrasmith, he said. So
he was released, but told to appear
in police court later

BURKE-VON ELM
STILL TIED FOR
G0LFING CROWN

INVERNESS GOLF CLUB, TO-
IEDO. Ohio, july 6. W.P)-The
longest tournament in history of the
u. S. open golf championship was
scheduled to reach a close today.
George Won Elm of Los Angeles
and Bill Burke of Greenwich,
Conn, will decide which should
hold the title for one year. Dead
locked at the end of the customary
72-hole championship, they were
still tied after SO extra holes had
been played
Each had an aggregate of 292 for
the four rounds, each scored 149s IN
the playoffs, but one Of the 149
strokes scored by Won Elm was vast
ly more important than any other
one. II was a 10-foot putt on the
final green which went down for
a birdie three which sent the al
ready extended tournament into
still further competition.
There were two noteworthy fea-
lures in the playoffs. One was Won
Elm's card which showed four con-
secutive brides in the afternoon
round.
Another feature was the success
at chip shooting displayed by
Burke. He holed out on the ninth
from 80 feet. He also Clipped out
on the llth hole. He holed out
from rs feet away.
The standing of the players
changed repeatedly during the
round, with Burke holding the up
