Man; Resident for % Years
Funeral Today

The death in a Seattle hospital
Monday morning of I. s. Gleason,
came somewhat as shock to many
Kennewick friends. While Mr.. Glea-
son has spent most of the winter
either in the hospital in Seattle or
Pasco, it was not generally known
that his condition was quite so
serious. He has been sufferer
from heart trouble for more than a
year.
Mr.. Gleason is one of Kennewick's
pioneers, coming to Kennewick in
1909, being one Of the first settlers
on the then newly opened High
lands project. He lived on the High
lands for a year or more, coming
to town to take a position with the
old Produce company, working UNI
der E. M. Sly for several years, la
ter leaving the employ of the con-
Germ and branching out into the
produce business for himself.

ASK FOR 3DAMS
NRCOLUMBIA
Booster Group to Seek Con
tinuing Appropriations for
Work

Development of the Columbia
river should be q continuing process.
according to officials of the Inland
Empire Waterways association,
which is working toward that end.
That this development should pro-
coed In sections rather than by in
dividual appropriations for indi-
vidual dams, is the idea that the as
ISOLATION is attempting to sell to
congress. This idea also has the
endorsement of the army engineers,
1t is understood, who want to have
the work converted into an annual
job similar to that on the Mississip-
pi river.
Recommendations will be sent in
for the construction Of three dams
to provide slack water transporta-
ton from. The Dalles to a point on
the Snake river. Briefs covering this
work will be submitted to the en-
gineers for the department at an
early date, preparation of which is
already well under way.

SHERIFF GETS
2 YOUTHS IN
STOLEN CAR
Bandit Pair Forces Officers
to Drive IS Miles an Hour
over Slippery Roads to
Catch Them

A 19-year-old bandit who forced
his way into sedan driven by Paul
Jones, 20, at the point of a gun on
Yakima street yesterday, made
Jones drive him down the highway
and at Parker forced him out of the
car as he drove on, was captured
about one and one half hours later
by Sheriff A. M. Richter of Prosser
after an exciting 1O-mile chase over
icy roads, says story in last nights
Yakima daily. The officer fired two
shots into the speeding sedan near
Prosser. Later Richter brought his
prisoner to the Yakima county jail.
Tn for it NOk'
The driver of the sedan gave his
name as Robert Henderson of Yak
ina and his age at 10, Sheriff Rich
ter reports. With him was a IT.
year-old boy. Both were in CCC
uniforms, Richter said, although he
did not question them concerning
their connection with a CCC camp.
"Well, guess we're in for it now!"
Sheriff Richter quotes the driver as
saying when he caught up with the
pair after shooting into the sedan
and ditching his own car.
"The boys were so scared they
didn't have much to say" Richter
says. cts a wonder the bullets did
MT hit them as two of the three
shots which I fired struck the Sc
dan, one breaking the rear glass and
another hitting the rear of the car.
Makes Real Speed
81 chased them going 80 miles an
hour some of the time and it's q
wonder both cars weren't wrecked.
I had the siren going so they knew
I was chasing them as we went out
the old Grandview-Prosser road"
Henderson first denied using q
gun although he admitted taking
the sedan away from the driver,
Richter says. When the officer
searched the car and found the 80
revolver in the seat, the driver then
admitted having the weapon when
he took the sedan away from its
owner. Henderson picked up the
|17-year-old boy on the highway near
Granger.
Richter got word that the youths
in the sedan had driven into serv-
ice station at Granger, had the car
filled up with gasoline and had
driven away without paying for it.
Clay Bell of Granger notified the
Prosser sheriff and Richter was
looking for the sedan when it came
along.
Sheriff Suspicious
When the youths refused to stop
in response to his siren, he decided
they were wanted for something
more serious than their failure to
pay for the gasoline.
st was driving south on First
street and stopped at the intersec-
ton of First and Second streets"
says young Jones. "This fellow came
up to my car and opened the door
and got in. At first I thought it was
someone I knew, but then I discov-
cred it wasn't.
PascO 1t Is
"He told me to drive toward Pasco
and when I said I hadn't much gas
and didn't have any money he pull
ed the gun on me and said You're
going to Pasco'."
That 80 revolver looked as big as
six shooter, young Jones said in
