Criminals Caught
In Fowler, Calif.
Chief of Police J. W. Hatcher re
ceived a letter Monday from Frank
Truax, chief lof police of Fresno,
Calif , stating that he had in custody
Fred Langdon and Hugh Moore,
wanted by the Ashland chief for kid
napping a young girl from this city
several weeks ago. These two men
wlere arrested, In Fowler, Calif., af
ter burglarizing an oil station at
that place. Langdon endeavored to
make his escape, but was finally cap
tured after giving the officers a mer
ry chase thru a vineyard.
Both mtat are under the charge of
burglary and grand larceny. A Dodge
oar In their possession Is supposed to
hare been stolen by them In Sacra
mento, and other cars they have dis
posed of, the chief of police claims,
were undoubtedly stolen cars. They
were well armed when arrested, and
are apparently traditional bad men.
Chief Truax stated that he would
keep Chief Hatcher's cose In mind,
and as soon as he in thru with these
men will notify the local policeman
so he may take action If the Fresno
authorities are unable to convict
them. Chief Hatcher has been after
thteee men ever since the Ashland
kidnapping case came up, .and they
are without doubt the guilty parties.
