Upgrade of border treatment plant revives fish
Just a few months ago, the life of a fish on the Santa Cruz River was pretty blue - or rather it was brown, murky, rare and stifled by ammonia.

The completion of a long-awaited $65 million overhaul of the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant near Rio Rico has changed things drastically, and the river seems to be experiencing a resurgence of tiny fish, says Birdie Stabel, the leader of the river-watch division of the Friends of the Santa Cruz River, a nonprofit group that fought for this upgrade for more than a decade.

John Dillinger and three members of the "Dillinger mob" bank robbery artist, jail delivery specialists and machine gun terrorists supreme in the Midwest, were captured here yesterday afternoon and evening by Tucson police.

In a series of breath-taking captures, each of which might have at any moment culminated in a stream of lead and death, which included lightning displays of gangster armament and as sudden squashing of murderous hopes by officers, Dillinger himself, Charley Makley, 50, Russell Clark, 39, and Harry Pierpont, 31, the "trigger-man" of the gang were apprehended, were stripped of a young arsenal apiece, subdued, identified, and locked up in the county jail for safe-keeping.

The jail was under double guard last night.
