SPOKANE, Wush., Oct. 31. (P)
Two men who scorned the dan
ger of crowded streets killed an J
express company runnier in his
Itge. bound a clerk and Ktotc
IOOO today, apparently had eluded
police in 11 clean Ketawuy.
. After sifting down the cUioh left
hy the pair that killed John M.
Iv ester, bound V. 11. Johnston and
looted the ca.sh register o the
railway express company at clos
ing time last night, detectives said
there was nothing on which they
could promise an early arrest.
The trail left by the daring pair
was faint a terrorized clerk's de
Hcription of the men, a package
addressed to n fictitious person,
two .46 caliber pistol shells and
two bullets, a. shoe string used
to tie tip the clerk and a set of
linger prints made by the man
who scooped up the currency. The I
finger prints, taken by Wesley 1
Turner, chief of the police depart-1
ment identification bureau offered!
the most substantial clue, but
, were held to be of little value
unless heir maker had another set
on file. The men were believed
to have Jumped Into an old tour
ing car us they dashed from the
office.
Firo Without Wurniiifc.
The men entered the office five)
minutes before closing time, Justj
Ihh Ivester, the cashier, was check
,T'E ovr the day's money receipts
'and Johnston, a clerk, was putting
his hooks away. One of them
tossed package on the counter
and the other seeing a pistol on
the counter beside Ivester, fired
pointblnnk without wnrnlng. The
bullet entered the man's throat,
coursing downward and piercing
his heart. He died at once.
As they reconstructed the rob
bery, detectives said, the other
man ordered Johnson into the
hack room, tied him with a shoe
lace and stood guard while the
first started to take the money.
He was interrupted by two men,
H. Hoffman nnd Lawrence Iind
sey, who said they went to investi
gate the shot. The robber held
the door and told them the office
was closed for the night. As they
left he ran Into the cage, scooped
up the currency, leaving the sil
ver and the pair fled, after firing
a shot at Johnson. The whole in
cident. Johnston said, lasted not
longer than four minutes. John
ston, who collapsed an hour nfUr
the robbery, was able to give only
a general description of the men.
The handwriting on the package
i will be studied, hut detectives said
AJhey believed It would disclose
nothing.

THE REAL FACTS
ON TIRE PRICES
Pick up almost any newspaper and you
are sure to read of a tire sale somewhere.
Amazing Values . . . Astounding Reduc
tions . . . Double-Jointed Price Offers . . ,
of such stuff is the usual tire ballyhoo
composed.
But . . , inquire into the prices of two
or more tires of established make. You
will find them so nearly alike that price
ceaseg to be a factor in making your
choice.
A quick comparison between the cost
of Silvertowns and the cost of bargain
tires will demonstrate the difference isn't
worth while.
And Just a slight inquiry Into Silver
town's proven ability to make mileage
records will establish the firm conviction
that they have no equals for low coat
per mile.
The answer to the whole situation is
obvious . . . buy in the first place from a
Goodrich dealer . . . and be sure of get
ting the finest tires that can be made at
the lowest price for which they can be sold.
