NEAR SHOW LOW (3TV/CBS 5) – According to the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office, a resident of White Mountain Lakes shot and wounded an18-year-old man who broke into his home Friday night.
Deputies say the homeowner told them he and his wife were in their living room when they heard somebody banging on the kitchen door.
“The homeowner said the suspect was pounding so hard he was surprised the glass didn’t break,” NCSO said in a news release.
The young man, later identified as William L. Hansen, was apparently looking for his girlfriend, according to what the homeowner told deputies. The homeowner said he told Hansen “multiple times” to leave and that whomever he was looking for was not there.
“[Hansen] broke through the pet door, reached up and tried to unlock the door knob (sic),” according to NCSO. “The homeowner grabbed his arm to prevent him from unlocking the door. The suspect pulled away and backed away. He then picked up some large rocks and started throwing them at the house.”
Deputies said the homeowner warned Hansen that he was armed and would shoot.

Simmering dispute between coworkers boils over into bar fight leaving one dead
By Jim Kershner
jimkershner@comcast.netA quarrel between two laborers turned deadly in a Spokane bar.
Mike Milechivich, 40, was playing cards in the Agram Bar when Mike Bosnich, 40, walked in to use the lavatory.
The two men had worked at a magnesite quarry near Chewelah and had been nursing a simmering dispute.
Bosnich claimed that when he came out of the lavatory, Milechivich confronted him with clenched fists and threatened him. Bosnich pulled a revolver and fired twice, killing Milechivich.

2/3/0 nut bad odds here, at least all are removed from further misdeed’s for a while. Dang but that young fella was sure hard up looking for his girlfriend, may be she’ll visit him at his new address, not. Guess those 2 dummies did not hear about the first story before their escapade, Arizona, another retiree’s haven with weapons and good tales. Again another incident involving a gun carried into a bar, security, oh crap, we don’t have any. Got wagon with side boards ready and standing by.
The Spokane bar shooting happened 100 years ago according to the newspaper article. A good reminder that alcohol and firearms was then and remains now, a volatile cocktail mix best avoided at a saloon.
CCR wins the thread- Happy 1 April.
One hundred years ago or tomorrow, it doesn’t matter as there are places around the states that during certain seasons folks will drop in for a quick one and be armed in open sight as well as there are places I have seen that law enforcement gives a wide berth due to the fact that most likely there are more weapons inside than the cops can muster outside.
Strange people seem to inhabit certain places on this planet. Some of them can’t figure out street addresses, or that maybe the girl didn’t really want a date, after all.
Glad I live in a quiet neighborhood.
Sounds like that perp in the first one was under the influence of Love Potion Number 9.
That was the Clovers who sang it in 1956, and the Searchers remade in 1966.
“broke through the pet door, reached up and tried to unlock the door knob”
So where was the dog? Or even worse, the cat.
The dead perp in the second story had the name Ahumada. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Spanish “ahumada” means “smoked” which apparently he was.
Is that contraption in the photo a Bernath Special?

Well, I’ll be damned! Thanks.
Everyday is a new adventure and learning opportunity on TAH.
Long day that started real, real early. We’ll take the winnings and the wagon to the Clubhouse. We’ll have the Early Bird Blue Plate Special since I’ve had neither breakfast or dinner. An early supper is just the ticket. In honor of the Spokesman-Review story, how about a bowl of Hungarian Gulash with some fresh bread or an Austrian wiener shnitzle mit pomme friez….and an apple tort…. And a cold stout.
Is that the same FGS 1 April 2018 or was it a different 100 year old story? I like them blasts from the past.
Not a real big fan of April Fools stuff. 1 Apr of 63 was when Papa was killed in his big truck wreck. It was a Monday that year too. Buried him on Wed 3 Apr and Mama found out that Friday she was pregnant with my Baby Sister.
Do you recall what model truck he was driving? In 1963 the diesels were still sort of evolving.
Can’t remember when the cab-overs rigs disappeared.
I was very nearly an April fools baby but Mama managed to git’r’dun before midnight on March 31st, New Orleans time. It was raining pretty hard, my father slipped on the marble stairs leading into Charity Hospital and broke his arm.
He probably still blames me for it but, I swear, I wasn’t even born when it happened 🙂
IIRC it was either a late ’50s model IH or White. The memory is dim I was only 10. Oldest son don’t remember and Mama and oldest Sister have been gone since ’81 and ’14. I do remember it was the old school cab over without a sleeper berth. He and another driver were hauling several from down South Georgia way piggyback. He missed the hole that was in the bridge with the one he was driving but the rear tires on the piggyback hit the hole and that caused his truck to slam into the bridge railing, popping the cabover loose and sending him out the windshield with the truck crushing him as it rolled over. No seat belts back then. They say he never knew what hit him. DOT had the hole fixed before the insurance (Workman’s Comp) got there and denied that there was a hole in the bridge. Sad song, I ain’t lying. He was only 40 yo and had survived everything from Normandy thru the Bulge and the Rhine Campaign without a scratch. Mama raised the 6 of us with NO government handouts.
The PS 90 with a 50 round clear magazine is a cool sci fi blaster.
The only problem with it is you have to completely remove the magazine to check that the chamber is empty.
That is a design flaw that invites negligent discharge.
Gun makers should make it easier to check loaded status, not harder.
Go Arizona ! !
