Mr. and Mrs. Bert Leach of Kanab were happily surprised one day this week when they received a long-distance phone call from their son Mossy Leach, who is stationed in Frankfort, Germany. Moss said that he was in fine health and that he was enjoying his duty in the armed services. He told his folks that he plans on being home in February. Jerry Glover, small son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Glover of Kanab, had a narrow call yesterday when he ran into the side of a pick-up driven by Emily Rider, also of Kanab. Young Glover was riding east on his bicycle and ran into the pickup as he came onto Main Street in front of DeVon Jackson’s Chevron Station. Trooper Merrill Johnson and City Marshal Alvin Jones investigated the accident and said that no serious injury was received by Jerry. Merle Morris Jr., age five, had his tonsils removed on September 11 at Kane County Hospital, and Charles Whipple of Kanab was treated for lacerations of both hands on the same day.

On August 23, 2003, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office received a call that two horses had been shot and killed on some property just east of Zion National Park in Kane County. One of the horses was a quarter horse stud with an estimated value of $30,000 and the other was a mare carrying an estimated value of $7,500. Two suspects were found, and they both admitted to killing the horses with .22 caliber rifles. They were each charged with two counts of criminal mischief, which are second degree felonies because of the value of the horses.
