Eagles Robbery Results in Arrest Of Boise Man, 56 Daryl Wesley Smith, 56, listing a Boise address, is in the Malheur county jail charged with armed robbery of the Eagles lodge early Sunday morning. Nothing was taken and the only damage was to locks on outside and inside doors that were broken to gain entrance to the building and bar area. At least one ac complice escaped by car after the burglar alarm frightened them away. The sounding of the alarm was first discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Ron Zerbel, Mr. and Mrs. LaVern Cleaver when they drove to the building for Cleaver’s car. Leav- ing Cleaver to watch, the others returned to Brownie’s cafe to get Bill LaBounty, bartender at the lodge, thinking it was sounding due to some other cause. About the time of their return with LaBounty, Patrolman Dar rell Zinn was passing and heard the alarm. About the same time two men ran outside the building through a side door and Zinn fired a warning shot and ordered them to halt. Smith stumbled over a fence and was handcuffed by Zinn, while Cleaver gave chase to the other man. He made it to a car and escaped, and had not been apprehended at Journal press time.
