WARE, AIDE
KILL 7 H j c
IN VALLEY
Mexicali Officers
Identify Thief
In MOrgue

A Mexican burglar died
in the county hospital early
today of gunshot wounds
suffered when he resisted
arrest by Sheriff Robert w.
Ware and Deputy Sheriff Peter
Kulinovich near Imperial late
Thursday.
Mexicali police officers recog-
nized the dead man known to
them by the nicknames "Polaco'
and "Juero" and said they had
his partner in Jail. He was a mari
huana addict who depended upon
burglaries for living, the officers
declared.
Autopsy examinations revealed
that a slug from the deputy's 3O-3O
carbine passed through the Mexi-
cans head from the left side to
the back. Two slugs of 90 buck
shot from the sheriff's riot gun
had penetrated the right side of
the head near the top and pene-
trated the brain three quarters of
an inch, the autopsy surgeon, DR..
l.. G. House, said. He was quoted
as saying either shot would have
caused death.
The shooting occurred when Of
ficers responded to a call from
Brawley to aid in the capture of q
man seen leaving a Brawley resi-
dence Thursday afternoon and who
later disarmed the city dogcatcher.
The fatal shots were fired after the
Mexican pulled two guns from his
shirt following his refusal to halt.
The tennis shoe" burglar of
Brawley went down before a fusil-
ade of bullets from the guns of
Ware and Kulinovick in running
gun battle east of Imperial late
Thursday.
He had no passport and no means
of Identification on his person. A
quantity of cheap jewelry was
IouIlQ In MS clothing.
A bullet from the gun of Deputy
Kulinovich is believed to have saved
Sheriff's Wares life by spelling the
aim of the fugitive. The Mexican's
bullet dropped at the sheriff's feet.
Bullets from the guns of the Of
ficers stopped the swift retreat of
the Mexican and he dropped into
the brush. He was unconscious and
writhing in agony when they reach
ed his side.
Tell tale tennis shoe tracks left
by the Mexican in his flight to
avoid capture definitely connect
him with three burglaries of Braw-
ley homes in the last few weeks.
Chief of Police Lon Cromer of Braw-
ley said. He said his officers had
chased the man upon several occa-
sions but his running ability always
excelled theirs.
The spectacular chase started af-
ter Chief Cromer summoned the
sheriff and his deputies to assist in
capturing fleet footed Mexican
who had disarmed Joe Short, Braw-
ley dogcatcher, and headed south.
