take an appeal
Botha not only killed Tibbetts, but
he also killed Mrs, Botha, Ii was ar
gued by the defense that he was justl-
fed in killing Tibbetts because the lat
ter had defied Bothas wife, and that
the killing of Mrs. Botha was acct

that Tlbbetts induced Mrs, Botha to
leave her husband on several occasions
and go to his home near by and remain
over night with him, and on the last

LOOKS GOOD FOR VERNAL,
Probabilities Are That II WIN he on Main
Line of Moffat Road.

Supt Of Construction Rdgway and
Assistant Engineer Sumner Of the
Denver, Northwestern and Pacific,
known as the Moffat road, reached YER
nal late last week on tour of lnspec-
ton along the proposed route Field
Engineer Kelliher who Is In charge Of
four parties of surveyors, was also OF
the party The party drove from Du-
chesne to Jensen and up TO Vernal. All
Mr. Ridgway would say about the
matter was that the road would be built
as rapidly as possible, but no one
could yet tell just where the route
would go.
From remarks made and from other
circumstances II is believed that the
Bear river canyon route Will be the
one chosen and that Vernal viii be on
the main line. Nothing definite, how
ever, can be stated as yet.

In the surrounding counties the sher-

down clues Yesterday word was
brought into Park CITY that two sus-
picous looking men had been seen at
Garne's ranch, seven miles north Of the
camp. II seemed almost certain that
they were Lynch and Pengass, Sheriff
MAR promptly organized posse which

Lambs canyon. This also proved a

USED A STICK.
The examination OF Lynch's tracks
proves conClusvely that he used a
stick on which to lean while getting
away. 1t is believed from this that
he Is badly wounded and cannot travel
far. This supposltlon strengthens the
belief that the wounded convict has
laid down under the sage brush and Is
probably dead by this time.

printed and mailed broadcast over the
