special S. P. officer, and Merle L..
Ingram, immigration border pa
trolman. When they arrived at the
station Westbound freight train
was ready to leave and Martinez
was seen hiding in the brush near
by, apparently planning to board
the train.
When the officers started toward
him, Martinez ran across the des-
ert. He ran for short distance
and then crawled behind a clump
of brush. They ordered him to
come out and he appeared with
his hands in the air.
He denied his identity but both
officers had seen photographs Of
him. They recognized him without
difficulty.
Lyons, his face battered and
torn from the blows dealt him by
Martinez, confronted the Mexican
at the county JAIL Martinez pre-
tended surprise at his battered
face and asked if a train had
run over him.
Lyons gun, however, still is miss
ing. Martinez snatched it from the
officer and struck him in the face
with it at the time Lyons caught
him looting truck in Holtville
Monday night. The Mexican pre-
tended to submit to arrest but
suddenly turned on the officer. A
search for the missing gun was
under way Friday Officers search
ed the train and the desert where
the arrest was made.
Martinez Friday refused to dis
cusS his escape from Lyons and
remained silent when questioned
about his whereabouts since the
event.
Arrest of the fugitive brought to
an end a n1anhunt which enlisted
officers from every branch of law
enforcement represented in I'M
perial county and spread into Ari-
IONA and Mexico.
Martinez was known to MANY Of
the searchers as he had recently
served a sentence in the county
jail for vagrancy in Brawley. Pho
tographs and descriptions of the
fugitive were provided all officers
in Imperial and Yuma counties.

BENZOL EFFECTIVE
IN FIGHTING MOLD

Roxboro, June ia report sub
mitted by w. G. Rimmer, of the
Hurdle Mills, community shows the
effectiveness of benzol in controlling
the dread blue mold disease of to-
bacco plant beds, says H. K. Sanders,
Person county farm agent.
Where the bed was gassed with
benzol last spring, Rimmer secured
245 plants to the square yard at
transplanting time From the UNI
treated area he pulled only 80 plants
to the square yard.
In addition to the larger number of
plants, there was also a difference
after setting in the field. Plants from
the benzol-treatel area started off
much better than did those from the
untreated areas.
