Bandits May Be Kidnapers
Possemen tracking two holdup men who fled into the northeastern Arizona desert believe the fugitives may be the same men who robbed a Close City Texas store last Friday and later kidnapped a farm couple. One of three robbers was captured after a service station heist near Sanders Arizona. The abandoned 1941 maroon Plymouth matches the car described by Olen Long and wife of Grassland Texas. Sheriff and highway patrolmen searched a valley 20 miles southwest of St Johns while a fire in the valley suggested the fugitives sought warmth in near zero cold.
