Z-Jt PLUS TONIGHT MAJOR IPKIlflBnJ Of A Brand New COMEDY Oregon Va Injured by In Mistake Tonopah, Nev. (U.R) Two members of the vacationing John Hill family of Drain, Ore., were injured early Sunday morning when Tonopah Police Chief R. E. Lydon fired a sawed off shotgun blast through a win dow of their car at a roadblock in the mistaken belief a desper ado was in the vehicle. Patsy Delle, 13, and Mrs. Delia Hill, 35, were being treat ed at Nye General hospital here for wounds suffered when the shotgun pellets shattered the left rear window of the family's 1951 green Studebaker sedan. Neither Seriously Hurt The girl suffered wounds in a leg caused by ricocheting pellets and shattered glass and Mrs. Hill's scalp was creased by a pel let. Neither was in serious con dition. The mishap occurred at dawn Sunday at $ roadblock on U. S. Highway 95 set up four miles south of here by Lydon and State Highway Patrolman James Ray. The two officers were watch ing for a 1952 black sedan bear ing Iowa license plates believed to be driven by William Merle Martin, 42, sought as a suspect in the slaying of an Olathe, Kan., policeman. Martin was believed to have run a roadblock near Las Vegas Saturday night and to have headed northward in the direction of Tonopah and Reno. Driving North Meanwhile, the members of the Hill family were driving northward along U. S. 99 in a green Studebaker sedan bearing Oregon license plates. John Hill, 40, his wife, Patsy, and a son, John, 12, were in the car. Hill said he saw the red lights of the police cars at the road block and slowed his car to a speed of 15 miles per hour. He said he rolled down the driver's window and when nobody said anything figured there had been an accident of some kind and that the red lights were meant only as a slow-down warning. He said he speded up again and as he did so heard a gun shot and the sound of the shot gun pellets shattered the left rear window of his car. The pel lets also shattered the right front windshield as they passed The Finest Band that Ever Appeared in Klamath Falls .AMERICA'S NO. 1 BAND RAY ANTHONY .

The boy was lying upon the front seat cush ion but sat up when the car slowed down. He lay down again as his father speeded up again and seconds later the shotgun blast penetrated the car. The main force of the blast passed di rectly above the front seat at the point where the boy had been peering outside earlier. Lydon explained later that the officers had been "looking for a desperate killer" and that when the car failed to stop and then picked up speed again he fired the shotgun blast in the belief Martin might have stolen anoth er car. Lj-don said it was still dark at the time and it was im possible to see who was in the car. e&RDON ft 1 : .MACRAE 4' -J', BRACKEN V 1 1 nev fii?ifil?ITi if ENDS TOMORROW! raj ; a ten ctNTuti.to mui SftdnK 1 1 , .
