ARMED DESPARADO CAP­
TURED AFTER SHOOTING
AT OFFICERS IN FIGHT
(St. Helens Sentinel-Mist)
As a climax of an 80-mile-an-
hour auto chase along the Colum­
bia river highway in which two
heavily armed auto thieves shot
three times at the pursuing car
of Sheriff Weed and Deputy
Calhoun, George Wahl, 28. who
gave his address as San Fran­
cisco, was captured by the offi­
cers when the car he was driv­
ing stopped near the Pomeroy
place south of Scappoose. His
companion, said to be Chas. An­
derson, also of San Francisco, es­
caped near the scene and was
carrying a rifle and other qrms.
The event might easily have
turned out to be an escapade
such as the Clyde Barrow-Bonnie
Parker encounter as the occu­
pants seemed to be the shoot and
run desparado type.
Officer Howard of the state
police squad was cruising north
on the highway near Goble when
he noticed the car coming toward
him at high speed and recognized
the car to be stolen, turned
around to pursue them. The car
turned up a side road and he was
AUTOMOBILE DEATH RATE
HIGHER ON WEEK ENDS
As in previous years, the record
of automobile accidents in 1933
showed that more persons were
killed on Sunday than on any
other day of the week, with Sat­
urday next in the number of
deaths. Week end congestion of
traffic, especially on highways
and on entering or leaving cities,
is regarded as playing a large
part in the 11,480 deaths on Sat­
urdays and Sundays of the year
as compared with 18,420 on the
remaining five days of the week.
On Satuidays and Sundays statis­
tics show that the rate of death
per accident was 20 per cent
greater than on the other days
of the week combined. On Sun­
days last year accidents numbered
127,470, while deaths were 5,-
890 and persons injured non-fa-
tally totalled' 142,070. On Satur­
days accidents were 130,650;
deaths, 5,590, and persons injur­
ed non-fatally, 146,320.
