Carl Meyers, worker at Calpella, Mendocino county, stranded in Santa Rosa, started walking north along the Redwood highway Saturday night in the rain. He was picked up by a good Samaritan, named Blevins, who works on the Sheridan Peterson ranch, taken home, given a good dinner and then taken with the family to a dance at one of the road houses between Windsor and Santa Rosa.
While at the dance, a few drinks were enjoyed by all, and then Blevins missed Meyers. Looking out of the window, he saw his wandering friend just leaving in Blevins old 1923 Hup. Getting another car, he started in pursuit but couldn’t find the machine.
Retracing his route, Blevins came upon the car beside the road where it had quit under fire, as befits a car of its ripe age. Meyers was not to be found.
Being by this time thoroughly angry at the response to his good treatment, Blevins got his dog, which is part bloodhound, and set him on the hiker’s trail. The dog traced Meyers to a . barn, where Blevins beat him up, just to teach him a lesson, and then told deputy sheriffs, who by this time were on the job, ( to arrest the man. Meyers had to be brought to the hospital in Healdsburg to have his injuries dressed before he could be taken to jail, and after first aid had been received, was taken to the county jail.
