1934, Barrow Back in North Central Texas Haunts

It was 14 may 1934, Monday, on the front page of The Waco News-Tribune, we found the following headlines: "Barrow Back in North Central Texas Haunts" and "Dust Storm Obscures Chicago Skyscrapers."

Found on Newspapers.com

While the greatest dust storm of the 1930's was blowing across the mid-western plains Chicago skyscrapers were feeling, seeing the dust blown from drought areas of the dAkotas, Nebraska and Iowa enveloping the Chicago's downtown area and giving a twilight appearance to the "loop" in mid-day. Winds reached a velocity of 100 miles an hour along the Chicago river.

Meanwhile, in North Central Texas,Barrow and Bonnie were sighted Sunday in Cleburne vicinity. There were two other men and second woman reported with them in Johnson county. The highway patrol were asking help to guard roads. Sheriff Oran Smith said he was positive that information furnished him was correct.

The search for Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker shifted from Archer county and Wichita Falls to the vicinity of Cleburne and Fort Worth when the coupe was reported seen with two other men and another woman a mile and a half west of Cleburne on a lateral road.

Police in Fort Worth and Dallas were urged by radio to keep a sharp lookout for a black Ford V-8 sedan with license plates beginning with the figure "five."

Oran Smith refused to divulge the identity of his informant but declared he was reliable and that he knew Barrow when he saw him. Johnson county deputy sheriffs scattered out over the various highways in search for Barrow and the search spread to adjacent counties as state highway police asked help in guarding all roads.

Barrow was reported to have been seen yesterday int eh vicinity of Wichita Falls and another time the same day at Windthorst in Archer county.
