Holdup Men
Investigation continues into

Apple Store at 506 Loop High
way in Sandy reports Sandy
Police Chief Fred Punzel. The
store was robbed of an unde
termined amount of cash about
9:30 p.m. last Thursday.
Victor and Clara Lehman,
owners of the store, were not
harmed in the holdup. They told
police that a man entered their
store alone and then appeared
with a pistol and demanded
money from the cash register.
A second man remained in a late
model automobile outside the
store. After taking the store’s
money the man inside hopped
into the getaway car and they
sped away traveling west on
Loop Highway.
The store owners described
the holdup man as about 5’ 7’’,
weighing 140-145 pounds and
of a dark complexion.

where his 35-foot fishing craft sank in Newport harbor
last week. With him is Bill Herder, Yaquina Bay diver,
who has attached lines to the craft. Efforts will be made
next week to raise the boat, a converted sub chaser.
The only happy aspect for Palmer is that the motor
for the boat was out for repairs when it capsized. One
other boat is down on the same Port of Newport dock
as a result of severe southwest winds.
