Two robbers from parts unknown were nabbed Tuesday morning in Dolores. The pair had taken a car belonging to Maxie Stevens, in Cortez, and driven it to Dolores where they were taken in charge by Marshals Cord Bowen and Ross Thomas and lodged in the town jail. Stevens saw his car driving away and called the marshal who gave chase in a pick-up belonging to Mr. Black, of Blanding, Utah. The chase car pulled up to the stolen car and Marshall Bowen was able to climb in using the runner board. After an exciting race the cars finally wound up in Dolores where the Stevens car ran out of gas in front of the Bosman garage. Bowen said he had a most thrilling experience on his ride in the stolen car. He was unarmed and could to nothing but stay in the car, which was moving at a speed of 70 MPH.
