FBI Fugitive
Arrested By
William Marion Frazor, 29. a
fugitive wanted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, was ap-
prehended by local police officers
here Tuesday morning
Frazor, who gave Eleetra. Tex-
as as his home when arrested here,
is wanted by the FBI on a charge
of unlawful flight to avoid prose-
cution for ' grand larceny. The
charge of grand larceny was lodg-
ed against Frazor in Moab, Utah.
Frazor allegedly fled the state
of Utah to avoid prosecution on
the larceny charge, and is being
held in the Gaines County Jail
on a fugitive charge for authors
ties in Utah.
Initial contact by local law of-
ficers was made by Charles Muell-
er. Texas Department of Public
Safety, who stopped Frazor for
running a stop sign near the Mod-
ern Gin west of Seminole
Mueller said he became suspic-
ious of Frazor when he exhibited
much more nervousness at -being
stopped than is shown by the nor-
mal traffic violator.
' "When he showed me an ex-
pired license, and told me that
he had renewed the license, but
that the renewal slip along with
his wallet had been stolen I be-
came more suspicious." Mueller
said. "Since the old license would
most likely have been stolen along
with the other ileitis. I suspected
that htx lluitxe haf" been <3L';pen<h't
cd,"
"I got sufficient information
from him to be sure that 1 would
be able to locate him. then con-
tacted Austin for a driver's lic-
ense check." Mueller continued.
"When the Department of Pub-
lic Safety in Austin replied, they
notified me that the subject in
question was wanted on a fugitive
warrant by the FBI."
On receiving the information
that Frazor was a fugitive, Muel-
ler. accompanied by Gaines Coun-
ty Deputy Sheriff Billy Jones,
went to the Seminole Motel where
Frazor had said he was staying
They found that he was not. and
had not been at the motel.
They then went to the Seminole

Indian Gridders Will Begin
Workouts Monday Morning
The Seminole Indians will be-
gin conditioning workouts for the
coming gridiron season Monday
morning, August 17. They will hold
two sessions daily .for the first
two weeks of the pre-season work-
outs.
According to Jake Harrell. ath-
letic director and head football
roach for Seminole High School,
the Indians will hold morning
fifsjl'.ons beginning at f): 00 each
day on the physical training Tietit
behind the gymnasium, and even-
ing sessions each day at 7:30 In
Wigwam Stadium.
The Indians, both varsity and
ll-teams. are expected to turn out
60 Rtrewig for the beginning of
practice. Among this number will
be. 18 returning l&termen from
last year's varsity, including eight
members of last year's starting
lineup.
The Indians will have picked
up considerable weight in the line.
Harrell said, and they should have
one of the toughest lines ever.
The greatest weakness Tor the
Indians this year will be theh
shortage of speed in the backfleld.
and a shortage of experienced
ends.
According to IfatTell, the In-
dians will be six deep at many
positions (combined varsity and
B-tcamh but are. at best, four
deep at ends.
A major Innovation will be in-
troduced into the Indian practice
field this year, as the varsity and
the B-team practice together for
According to Harrell. this new
Setup will allow each coach to
specialize more. working with
boys playing in a particular posi-
tion, and giving each boy more
personalized instruction.
A battery of five coaches will
be working with the combined
teams, Harrell and Tom Rogers
working with both offensive and
defensive backs; .1. C. Collins
working with guards and line-
bakers; Charles Wrenn working
with tarkles and the defensive
line, and Elmer Six, the newest
addition to the siaff, working with
both offensive and defensive ends
and with the centers
Coach Harrell also said the new
practice system will allow the
coaches to maintain a better over-
sail picture of the performance eif
boys on both teams. "This year."
Harrell said, "any B-team mem-
ber will be able to move up to the
varsity at any tjmo. if lie shows
the coaches that he is playing bet-
ter ball than the boy currently
holding down the varsity slot."
..»« snifl that each week the In
dians will field a team composcel
of the top two squads as they
have emerged . from that week's
practice sessions.
Despite the innovation in the
organization of practice sessions,
Indian fans should not look for
any major changes on the play-
ing field The Indians will con-
tinue to employ the wing "T" at-
tack they have listed in recent
years.
. Among the 60 prospects expect
ed to torn out for the Indians this
year are eight returning starters

building were blown as much
as 300 yards to the west by fhe

that damage to the building
alone would run approximately
$3,000. The high winds and ac-
companying hail also did ex-
tensive damage to crops in the
area, knocked down a high volt-
age power line and caused
some damage at the airport.
