which Mr.. Roll was to receive
$25O,000 as a commission. Mr..

COMPLETES ROUND TRIP ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND

Pilot Vie Ross in. the pontoon plane of the Northern Air Trans port completed d round trip flight to St. Lawrence Island last night, after an eventful trip.
 As passengers aboard the plane were Otto Wm. Geist, Carl Frank lin, Wilbert Lane, and Miss Mary Mikami. and Vim. A. Oliver was a round tripper..
 The plane left Nome about 2:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon and arrived over the island in about an hour and quarter. Due to foggy conditions surrounding the northern coast, the plane was forced to reconnoiter along the coast. The object was to land at Savoonga, but fog and rough seas prevented even seeing that point. After flying over the island and thence to the northwest cape, the plane landed at Gambell, at about 4:3O.
 Most of the Eskimos on St. Lawrence Island had never seen an airplane before. Some of them who had been to Nome admitted seeing some of the planes, but the majority had never seen one. They rushed down to the plane and were surprised to see what It looked like, especially when the people all climbed out

that Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker

of Bienville Parish and going to the
northern part of natchitoches Parish
We began checking. put an under

stationed in Shreveport.
Upon getting tip that Barrow and
Parker figured on robbing the First
National Bank of Arcadia, got in
touch with Frank Hamer, ex-captain
of Texas Rangers, and r. F. Alcorn
Dallas County deputy sheriff. I had
to get some one who knew Barrow and
Parker personally in order not to
make a mistake in shooting them II
we found them.
Tuesday night I received a tip
they would be on the Jamestown
Sales road yesterday morning. With
Capt. Hemer, Alcorn, Ted Hinton,
Dallas deputy, and P. M. Oakley
one of by Bienville Parish deputies,
I drove out on the road and picked
out a place to wait for them.
We chose a natural barricade at
the top of a little hill, and We
secreted ourselves on the side OF the
road and waited.
Alcorn, who personally knew Bar
row and Bonnie Parker, sighted their
car quarter Of mile away and told
us that was them. When the car got
within 100 yards coming up the
grade, Alcorn said: That's them
boys"
About that time the car, which
was meeting truck, slowed down
We hollered to Barrow to halt as we
wished to give them chance. They
went for their guns, and we let
them have it.
In the car we found three sub
machine guns, two automatic sawed
off shotgun, four .45-caliber auto
matte pistols, two .38-caliber auto
matte pistols and one .45-caliber re-
volver, also a large quantity of am
munition.
