Tourist hero catches two fleeing convicts in Idaho
Unemployed California visitor George Petersen chased and captured two escaped convicts from Idaho State Prison after their pickup crashed through fences. The men, William Butler and David Huber, had fled following a truck crash and attempted to hide at a hamburger stand before Petersen, armed with a .45 pistol, stopped them. The incident followed a dramatic escape sequence as guards and a public witness intervened. In Denver, a separate note reports 500 women attended a Women’s Worry Clinic at Augustana Lutheran Church with 300 turned away.
