New Hospital Dedication Next Week
Kidnapper,
Hostage, 13,
Stop Here
Ex-Convict Wanted in
S.D. Boldly Writes
Checks During Visit
O’Neill figured prominently in
the weekend news when a Cus
ter county, S.D., kidnapper de
cided to while away a few hours
here during a flight across three
states with a 13-year-old girl as
hostage.
Sherwood Franklin Slrauser,
38, was captured late Saturday
at Sidney, climaxing a wide
spread manhunt.
Strauser picked up the girls,
Ruby Pond, 13, and Joan Pond,
11, on September 8 while the
two girls were driving cows to
water. The South Dakota states
attorney, Miss Floia Hoagland,
said Strauser lured the girls in
to his car on the promise of
herding the cows home with the
car and then driving them home.
Instead, Miss Hoagland said,
he drove into Wyoming, and
then to Custer, where Joan was
released unharmed,
Strauser, who waived extradi
tion to South Dakota, denied
kidnaning the girls. He said he
“couldn’t see why they would
hold it against” him because the
family knew whom they were
with.
Miss Hoaqland said the girls'
parents had not oiven Strauser
permission to pick them up.
She said both girls had “cried
and begged” Strauser to take
them home, but he allayed their
fear by buying things for them.
She said Strauser may have a
“father fixation.”
It was last Thursday Strauser
and 13-year-old Ruby Pond were
in O’Neill. Strauser escorted the
girl to Marie’s beautv parlor
where he ordered a fresh hair-do
for her, passed a check for *11.
Later, at the Mode - O - Day
ready-to-wear shop, he made
some purchases and wrote a
check for *65, which was accept
ed. Checks totaling *42 were
passed at the New Outlaw gro
cery All checks, drawn on an
O’Neill bank, were signed with
hie proper full name.
The people with whom he wac
doing business were informed
that 13-vear-old Rubv was soon to
start school in O’Neill. At each
place he complained about the
high cost of living.
Strauser stood near by while
Ruby was having her haid done.
He told the beauticians how the
work was to be done and Ruby
spoke only a very few words.
Holt County Sheriff Leo
Tom jack said Monday that
Strauser, an ex-convict, had
waived extradition and Holt
county will not be burdened
with the job of prosecuting.
Strauser’s undoing at Sidney
came about in a strange manner.
He called Sidney police to com
plain about a car that was block
ing his path at a railroad right
of-way crossing.
The policeman noted the li
cense plates and promptly placed
Strauser under arrest
Ruby’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Pond of Hot Springs, S.D.,
rushed to Sidney and were re
united with their daughter.

Car Pays Unusual
Visit; None Hurt
A car driven by 14-year-old
Norma Brady of Atkinson on a
shortlived, unauthorized trip
smashed into the front porch of
the Byron Grenier residence, at
the corner of Sixth and Douglas
streets, about 10:45 p.m. Satur
day.
No body was hurt. The ill
fated car heading north on Sixth
at the intersection turned onto
Douglas street and did a 180-de
gree turn, coming to a stop after
smashing into the porch and
threatening to proceed on into the
house.
The porch had been con
structed only a few months ago
and Holt County Sheriff Leo
Tomjack estimated damage to
the residence at about $250.
Miss Brady and three com
panions were detained overnight
by Sheriff Tomjack and a hearing
was held Monday morning in jus
tice court. Miss Pauline Bausch,
21, who was in the car with Miss
Brady, was fined $50 and costs.
She was charged with procuring
alcoholic drinks for three minors
—Miss Brady, Edward Walnofer,
16, owner of the car, and Jack
Thompson, 16, all of Atkinson.
Walnofer and Thompson were
not in the machine when the in
cident occured. Miss Brady ex
plained she simply lost control
of the car.
County Attorney William W.
Griffin said the incident boosted
o 17 the number of minors having
been hailed into court recently
in connection with drink. He said
he will follow a “crackdown”
policy in connection with minors
and use of alcoholic beverages
and adults figuring in the inci
dents can expect the maximum
penalty.
