Tracks in Snow Foil
Attempted Burglary
Marshal Follows Footprints and
Corners Two Robbers

KREMMLING, COLO. - Two
would-be bank robbers sat in Jail,
contemplating how their failure to
note local weather conditions spoiled
their chance of getting away with
S21 900 from the Bank of Kremm-
ling.
One of them, Erwin w. Margerum,
AZ, likewise had an aching head. His
companion, Harold Payne, 35, had
some painful bruises. Both are from
Omaha.
Their designs on the bank went
awry when City Marshal c. H. Van
Pelt happened to notice that two sets
of footprints in the new snow went
toward the bank but did not come
back.
Van Pelt followed the prints to the
banks rear door. 1t had been jim
mied but was closed. He heard the
thieves head for the door. The mar
shall, who is 40, stands 6 foot II
inches and weighs 200 pounds,
stepped to one side of the door and
swung ct the first man..
That was Margerum. The blow
connected solidly on his jaw and he
went down unconscious. Van Pelt
hit him so hard that he sprained his
own ankle as his body twisted with
the force of the haymaker.
Payne leaped over his fallen ac-
complete and raced to their car. Van
Pelt and a friend, Pete Engle,
jumped into another automobile and
ran Payne into a ditch On the out
skirts of town.
Van Pelt found $21,474 stuffed into
two zippered bags the men dropped
when Margerum was hit. They had
drilled through three and one-half
feet of masonry into the vault.

score was 13 to 3, the strong pitch
ing OF T. Fountain kept these boys
IN hand at all times. allowing seven
hlts, three free passes. striking out
thirteen with sixteen outs.
Thirteen free passes allowed by
the Masten pitcher kept the bases
tehanted every inning. Here the
good throwing of Dill, the Masten
catcher, picked off six of the Tower
boys.
Let it be said that the Masten
boys kept trying until the last man
was out in the ninth. This. the
fourth and final game of the play
on leave few doubts that the best
team won. In no instant can it be
said the Tower boys lacked team
spirit throughout the season. This.
together with the strong pitching
or the Fountain boys, made this
team champions of the Mid-Dela-
ware League.
