Passengers aboard the train turn
on the two youths and beat them |
numerically, holding them until
the train reached Hachita, N M,
where the two were turned over
to Sheriff r G.. Franey Of Luna
county, New Mexico.
Then the fast train continued
on its westward route through
Arizona toward California.
Attired in 10 gallon hats and
cowboy boots, the youths had en-
tered the train at Ell Paso, eliciting
smiles from fellow passengers who
eyed them as obviously tenderfoot
cowboys.
The train pulled out of Ell Paso
few minutes before midnight.
Early today, as it neared Mount
Riley, N. M, one of the youths
suddenly appeared at the rear of
the train, brandishing a pistol
He forced the conductor to go
with him to the forward coach
where the otner youth, also grip
ping a pistol in old time bad
man style, was covering passengers
and Jim Velsir, brakeman.
One OF the robbers then returned
to the rear coaches and began
taking watches and purses from

The unusual holiday session was
necessitated by the refusal of Rep
Ralph E. Church, r., ILL.,, to accede
to request for unanimous con-
sent for adjournment yesterday
Church's position in persistently
objecting to suggested adjourn
ments has been that congress was
called to meet in special session
to enact emergency measures and
hence could not consistently fail
to meet
Church again today interposed
his objection to adjournment until
Monday but on motion of Major

Many small slides were reported
but none of those that fell today
was of serious proportion. The
slides sent down small rushes of
rocks and earth to the pavement
of Riverside Drive.
Yesterday more than 400 tons of
debris cracked down upon the pave
ment.
New cracks were reported OPEN
ing at several points on the surface
of the slide, as the main fissure
continued to widen
Biologists reported the main fis-
sure, which is Of unknown depth,
is almost vertical, indicating that
the great mass is breaking away
in one piece to a considerable
depth.
AS the main crack widened, its
edges crumbled, sending much
debris down into the depths Of the
fissure.
Police considered court action to-
day to force residents to abandon
homes temporarily in the vicinity
of the moving mountain.
Only three out of 25 families
have fled the area near the trem-
bling brink of the bluff that may

to halt operations of the
Ford Motor company's assembly

usual basis.
A secret meeting was held last
night by the executive group of

"It appears that our fight is not
with Ford but with the police
Garst declared. I'VE will have to
fight another way. From now on
we're going to have a lot OF fun
at the Ford plant"
The strike was called because Oh
alleged discrimination by the COM

Who Said. "Thanks"?-

Who Said. "Thanks"?-
It may be Thanksgiving Day to
most people, but to RR 1t is mere
ly day when everybody stays at
home-or in some other inacces-
sible place-and Walter Winchell
himself couldn't collect even a
rumor of romance. Other peoples
stomach aches haven't materializ-
ed yet-and how in the devil can
RR give thanks for that?
The Last Note
Mr.. and Mrs. Bill Shuts, the
circulation campaign people, in
vested recently in an auto trailer
that has everything you need for
the more abundant life. Up un-
til a couple of days ago, there
seemed to be something missing
in the picture Of the perfect home
on wheels, but now that's been
corrected. A bright yellow canary,
bursting with song sometimes
has been installed along with the
other fixtures, and now the Shut

Pardon The Oversight
These run of the mill birthdays
aren't so much, because everyone
has them, but it is not every work
ing man who celebrates his 10th
birthday while still on the job. S.
o. Buck, the mail carrier, is the
exception His was Nov. Z.
And The Error
Speaking of birthdays and apo
logies, RR owes the latter for a
calendar mixup in yesterdays COL
umn. Miss Addie Turbett's birth
day anniversary was Nov. %, all
right. but Nov. % wasn't Wednes-
day-and Harry E. Lomholdt cele-
brated his the day before Thanks
giving-not Thanksgiving. Which
brings us to the report that
Thanksgiving Day birthday anni-
yersaries in our community were
celebrated by no fewer than DR..
r. C. Clemons, Hugh E. Hanes.
John P. Hansen, Edgar T. Moore
and Aylmer Thompson. Wonder
how many of them forgot their
own birthdays?
Maybe We're Wrong
There's something definitely
wrong about this Les Rogers
Massey Horton-Russ Nance golf
club combine. Remember how Les
was reported selling his clubs to
Russ for a ridiculous sum after
losing nine straight holes to Mas
sey? And forswearing golf for all
time? Well, Les has been noticed
on the Barbara Worth course of
late practicing like demon-and
using his own clubs. COR the ones
that used to be his, whichever it
isl 1t strikes RR that maybe the
whole things smoke screen to
toss Massey off his guard.
