A Graham plane, en route from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City during a January blizzard, was found hanging on a mountain side south of Cedar City. The pilot, a World War veteran with a wife and two children in Los Angeles, disappeared after taking off from Las Vegas. Rumors of a registered mail cargo worth nearly a quarter of a million dollars were denied by postal authorities, who put cargo value around $2000 and said no reward was warranted. The $5000 reward from Western Air Express was withdrawn after sixty days.
