For the first time during his term OF
office. Internal Revenue Collector Cal

a person arrested for refusing TO al
low the deputy collector TO inspect the

Deputy Collector Stewart yesterday af-
ternoon called at AdrIen Pintro's saloon
at l25 south State street TO inspect the
stamps on his stock Of liquor Pintro's
bartender whose name could not be
learned, refused to allow the deputy to
go behind the bar, and, grabbing an
ice pick, made at the deputy in
threatening manner
Mr.. Stewart retired from the place
and at once called upon T. S, Commits
sloner Twomey to swear out a warrant
against the bartender The complaint
was drawn up today by L. S. Attorney
Lippman, and the man was taken into
custody by a deputy nom the L.. S.
marshals Office. The penalty for re-
fusing TO allow a revenue officer to in
spect the stamp on liquors and other

Even II the murderers should not be
with the band at the present time, It Is
believed that much valuable informa-
tion can be secured from some Of the
members because Ryan was with them

bidge while working on the case yes
terday discovered that the gypsy wo-
man had been seen on July walking
along the road between the Hot Springs
where Ryan was camped and Syracuse,
where the gypsies were seen by Mr.
Rhodes on that date. This is evidently
the woman whom the men at Hot
Springs say came walking into Ryans
camp from the north and who. after
making two trips between the two
camps. finally stayed with Ryan and
accompanied him TO this city and on
south remaining with him until the
murder, The woman Is said 10 have
stopped at farm house on one of her
visits TO Ryans camp at the springs
and asked for a drink OF water The
lady Of the house did not pay any par
ticular attention 10 her and would
probably not be able TO identify her.
The local authorities are busy work.

The latest information concerning the
gypsy band, two OF whose members are
supposed to be the murdeders ofWilliam
y. Ryan, was received by sheriff
Emery last night by telephone from
Sheriff Rigby at Brigham City. The
sheriff stated that the band passed
through Brigham city on July 16, two
days after IT was seen at Syracuse
Point by Matt Rhodes. SO II Is evident
that the gypsies headed towards the
north instead OF toward Weber can

There Is practically no doubt but
that the gypsies seen by Mr.. Rhodes
on July II and those seen on the 10th
at Brigham city are the same ones.
Sheriff Rigby states that the red haired
gypsy woman was with the band. 1t
Is known positively that Ryan associ-
ated with this particular band and was
with 1t the very day he was murdered.
The greatest EFFORT Will be put forth TO
locate this band Of gypsies among

The band Is evidently travelling rather
SLOWLY and cannot be more than 90
miles from Brigham City at the pres
