CTeIeDafhic MESSAGE

= y
Splice, Utah, April 12.-Sheriff Billsox
performed another deed Of daring to-
day by calling a hard name at a notori-
Gus character who viii be found guilty
or treason, seditiOn and piracy on the
nigh seas tomorrow for criticising the
company through the columns of the
press. The man is named KiIlsom. and
there be those who claim he is correct
~ nomenclatured, which makes the
deed of Sheriff Billsox the more ad-
mirable.
In a letter published in the press
Klllsom stated that he could serve a
warrant on any old woman in the coun-
y. Inis is most outrageous false
hood, because Sheriff Bills1X has tried
ii twice On the first occasion Sheriff
BilisoX covered thirty-two miles in
tWenty-eight minutes. On the second
occasion he only made thirty miles. but
ne was handicapped by a crippled jaw
and the presence Of ten inches of snow
on the ground. In each instance he dis
tanced the woman. However. the war
rants were not served and the expert
ence of Sheriff Billsox demonstrates
that the feat is an impossible one.
When copies of the paper bearing
hlllsom's unwarranted statement
reached Splice today. Sheriff BillsoX
was naturally much incensed. His rage
increased when he learned that Kill
som was in Splice Mastering his forty
deputies, Sheriff BillsOx instructed
them to sneak up behind KiIlsOm and
seize him. Fearing his anger might
lead him to commit an indiScretion.
Sheriff BiilsOX withdrew from the town
at once The deputies formed a column
and approached the spot where Kill
som, powerful man Of only 30 years,
lay asleep. With great impetuOsity,
they charged on him and soon had him
bound. Despite the great odds against
them. the courageous deputies had
killsOm bound hand and foot i'm less
than thirty minutes He was dragged
into the street and held TO the ground
by seventeen deputies while Detective
Shores and Attorney Whiffet kept him
covered with their Winchesters from
upstairs windows. searching party
then set out for Sheriff Billsox. The
sheriff, still nursing his mighty wrath.
was discovered after long search in a
cave in the brush along the river bank.
He was told the situa ton and repaired
to the spot where KillsOm was held.
Then followed one OF the most dramat-
ic and daredevil deeds ever performed
by an emplOye of thu company. Walk
ing TO the side of -ZillsOm. the sheriff
leaned forward and said: "Y-y-y-O-O-u
l-l-l-iaT'" Killsom changed color.
Withdrawing about 600 yards, the
sheriff repeated: Liar" in an ordi-
nary tone of voice. and added: You
dassent fight me-" The sheriff appeared
much relieved after expressing what
was i'm his heart and was noticeably
calmeT when he again reached his cave.
Killsom was taken 10 the Jail where
four loads 90 coal were dumped on him.
He can't TT cut.
The statement that the company's
prisoners are not well fed is false. Two
loads of IuceTn were dumped into their
pen yesterday evening and they were
given three hair mattresses today. all
hulled. II is thought the worst is over
here. The most desperate men are now
in custody and the company officials
are confident that little remains to be
done aside from the formality of con-
viCting the prisoners.
