FARMER IN BARN KILLS MAN

Dalton City, Ill., Oct. 20 (AP) -- Roger Blankenship 19, Decatur was shot and killed by a farmer early today. His companion David T. Snyder, 20, of Decatur was charged with attempted theft. The farmer Carl E. Thompson, 46, told deputy sheriffs his farm had been the scene of robberies and thefts of farm tools and gasoline. He said he hid in a barn and waited and the two youths approached an outdoor gasoline storage tank breaking the lock. Thompson said he called to them and Blankenship ran. Thompson shot him with a revolver and apprehended Snyder.
