Ii is rumored around Washington
that Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
forest service, because of interference
with his administration by Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger. intends to
resign. The rumor lacks confirma-
tion, but appears to be given color by
reason of the fact that Pinchot for
more than month has neglected his
government work in order to collab-
crate with ex-Secretary Garfield in
writing a review of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and the further fact that
in conversation with friends Pincho
has expressed profound regret that
his theories, wrought out under
Roosevelt, are being bowled over one
after another by this administ ration
Pinchot, it is known. is deeply dis
heartened by reason of the attitude
assumed by President Taft and his
cabinet toward the forestry and CON

DECLARE THEY
SAW A MURDER


giving their names as Tyler
Moore and August Bower re-
ported To the Salt Lake Herald
that ON Monday evening. at a
late hour, they had witnessed "a
coid-bIooded murder at Green
River. They declared that two
Denver y Rio Grande detectives
had deliberately shot and killed
boy about 1S years of age
Tyler told the following story
which the other youth corroborate ed
we came in on a freight from
the east, nine of us, and started
through the yards to catch a west
bound freight on the grade Nobody
saw us get off or in the yards. but we
looked pretty tough. and just when
we got TO the end of the yards a rail-
road bull and his assistant chased
us with a big club and a revolver
! They chased us down the track a
ways and then seen this other young
fellow coming over the hill and went
after him.
This Young fellow had run prev
iously across the bulls in the yard
and he'd told them he was going
east; but he was going west. They
ordered him out of town. Well, he'd
been uptown to get some grub, and
when he came back he was sneaking
around to avoid the bulls. They
recognized him and, while he wasn't
on the railroad right of way, they
laid for him. We was watching, We
saw them stop him and talk with
him down by little rayine near the
river, outside the yards and off from
the track, and then we seen one of
the bulls pull his gun and shoot the
lad through the head. We saw him
fall. and the blood.
Then the bulls seen us watching
and took after us. We didn't dare to
look around, for fear we'd be shot.
! They chased us two miles down the
track, where they wasn't any chance
TO catch train, and we dasn't go
back. 1t was hike for us, and we
walked twenty-six miles across the
desert without nothing to eat or drink
until we got to Woodside. There we
finally got train into Salt Lake.
That is some of us is here, and the
others are headed this way. They
amt all got in yet"
Efforts made by the Salt Lake
Herald yesterday and efforts made
by The Sentinel today failed to bring
about confirmation of the story told
