Kearney. Neb., May 1C. Harold
Moore, Eugene Pope and Wilford
Kraber, all of Grand Island, were ar
rested at Wood River today and re
turned to Kearney, where a charge
of auto theft was lodged against
them. It is alleged they stole the
J. S. Roten car last night. They
managed to outrun the police here,
but the marshal at Shelton awaited
their arrival. That officer failed to
stop them with a half dozen shots,
but the young men apparently be
came unnerved and drove their car
into a ditch in their anxiety to es
cape the fusilade.
They made their way to Wood Riv
er after deserting the wrecked car
and were picked up by theh marshal
at that point. Moore and Kraber
have served sentences in the state
industrial school, according to police.
