auction had continued In ses
sion, he said.
The officials said that anoth
er sale would be held later

ed Wednesday that from post

that the tracts will be sold

Judge Jones said that he felt
appraisals on some of the re

said he told this to the BLM.
As a result, appraisers will be
back on the land this week to

Heppner relatives of Mr. and
Mrs. Percy L. Gentry of Oregon
Cly, who were murdered early
last week while on a trip to
Mexico, attended funeral serv
Ices for the couple Monday in
Portland.
Meanwhile authorities In Mex
Ico were seeking a suspect In
the case, known variously as
Carroll Boyd Nanny, Earl Van
Rliirirnm and Hi'dron Dlarldon
But he had not been located, and
the couple's pickup truck and
camper remained missing.
Centry, 62, Is a brother of
Larrv Gentry of Rhea Creek. Ho
is also a cousin of Archie Mun
kers and Vernon Munkers. Gen
trv. together with the two cous
ins and their wives, attended
the services Monday and return
ed Monday night
Larry Gentry and his son had
gone to Portland earlier to be
with the mother of the Gentry
brothers.
The Oregon City couple has
two sons, Allan of Portland and
Larry of San Jose, Calif., and
one of them returned from Mex
ico just prior to the funeral. They
had identified the bodies of their
parents.
Percy Gentry, a former yard-
master for Southern Pacific
Railway Co. In Portland, retired
recently, and he and his wife.
Margaret, 57, left on the trip to
Mexico with the camper and
pickup. They stopped for a visit
here for two days early in Oc
tober while enroute south.
The murder occurred about
128 miles north of Mexico City,
the brother here said. The bodies
were found near a side road, off
a highway. Gentry's body, which
was described as "machete
slashed and bullet-riddled", was
found among rocks, and pol
ice searchers found Mrs. Gentry's
body a few days later about 600
feet from that of her husband.
The Heppner man said that It
was not known for sure that the
bodies were slashed with a knife.
He theorized that the slashings
may have been done by animate
In the rather remote area.
The man who at first was
Identified as Van Blaricom, said
to be discharged from the Air
Force or an ex-Marine and vet
eran of the Korean War, wus
seen In company with the Ore
gon City couple prior to their
deaths. Larry Gentry said that
a letter found indicated that he
planned to show them scenic
attractions In Mexico. FBI in
Las Vegas, Nev., identified him
as Carroll Boyd Nanny, 35, who
uses the alias of Van Blaricom.
Earlier. Mexican authorities
identified him as Hedron Dlarl
don. They are all now believed
to be the same man.
Nannv Is wanted in Las Vega
as a fugitive for jumping bail
while awaiting arraignment in
V. S. District Court on a charge
of Interstate transportation of a
stolen automobile (violation of
the Dyer Act).
One of manv reports that en
sued after the killings said that
the Gentrys' truck had been
traced to the state of Hidalgo,
which lies east of Queretaro, the
state in which the killings oc
curred. However, Larry Gentry
said after returning from Port
land Monday that the lamiiy
I had no information tnat tne
1 pickup had been located.
The brother said that the
Gentrys had planned to spend
the winter In Mexico and then
take a boat trip on their return
north. Robbery apparently was
motive for the killings, but they
did not carry a large amount
of cash, since most of their
funds was in traveler's checks.
