Governor Addresses Strikers.
Salt Lake. Sept. Ex-Governor
Spry's trip to Bingham was the Sc
auence Of long conference between
state officials, the county sheriff, the
commander of the state militia and
representatives. of the miners and
mining companies.
Frequent reports from Bingham
told of firing upon mine officers who
attempted to reach or leave their
properties and other conditions Of civil
warfare. but there was no mention Of
personal injury or damage to prop
erty and the verdict Of the meeting at
the capitol was that mediation should
be attempted before military inter-
ference would be Justified.
Promptly at the close Of the con-
ference the conferees entered auto
mobiles and started over the noun
tain roads for the scene of the trouble.
Reports made by Adjutant General
Wedgewood of the Utah National
Guard, had indicated that in an emer-
gency 400 men and a battery Of artil-
lery could be mustered for strike duty
within eight hours.
News of the governors start flashed
to Bingham causing the postponement
of preparations made by Chief Deputy
Sheriff Axel Steele, for a flank attack
on the miners entertainments.
The party which reached Bingham
with the governor consisted OF Chief
Justice Frick of the supreme court.
Attorney General Barnes and John
Dern. members of the Cancellation
board: General Wedgewood, N. p.
stathakos, we'll known Greek banker
of Salt Lake, a priest Of the Greek
Catholic church. Warden Arthur Pratt
of the state penitentiary, Charles H.
Meyer, president Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and Lieutenant w.
S. Persons, Y. S. A., detailed as in
structor to the national guard.
Strikers and citizens in numbers
thronged about the party and there
was no difficulty in collecting an au-
dience for Governor Spry, who was
the first speaker. He assured the
miners that their right to quit work
was unquestionable and then warned
them not to interfere with property
or violate the law. Mr.. .Stathakos and
the Rev. Lambrigos then addressed the
Greek members Of the crowd In their
own tongue.
The governor was Joined by Mr..
Meyer and General Wedgewood and
retired to a house where a discussion
of the situation was resumed. Argu-
ments of the officials were for time

YOUNG POST OFFICE ROBBER AT
EAGLE MAKES COMPLETE
CONFESSION

Within three hours after being noti-
ned that the post office and store
building in which the post office is con-
Quoted at Eagle had been burglarized,
Sheriff Roberts had the burglar In the
county jail. has secured all the property
stolen and had confession from the
young thief.
At about $50 this morning Louis
Dlehl, postmaster and storekeeper ut
Eagle, called the sheriff's office. notify
ing them that his store and post office
had been entered and money stolen.
Deputy Robinson, who was on charge
at the sheriff's office. Immediately
called up Warden Shook at the peni-
Tertiary and got him to send Guard
Ray Peterson with a bloodhound. TIe
ordered an automobile to proceed at
once to the penitentiary to get the dog
and the guard. He then called up
Sheriff Roberts, who was at his home,
and notified him Of the matter. and the
sheriff and Deputy oliver Day came
down, Joined the guard and the dog
and were whirled away to Eagle. Ar
irving there. the dog was given the
scent at the window where the burglar
entered and soon started Off west down
the interurban tracks to Ballantine sta
ton. from which place he turned north,
keen on the trail
Coming from the north toward the
station was seen a young man, who.
upon seeing the officers and the dog.
turned about to retrace his steps. The
dog was chained and allowed to proceed
on the trail until this young man was
reached. Just before the party came
up to him. the young man turned off
toward a field, but was commanded 70
halt. Just before that he was seen to
throw something to the side Of the
road. This was found to have been
two small tobacco sacks Of nickels.
The young fellow was identified as
Nap Sloper aged 10, who lives with his
parents on tract Of two and a half
acres about two and half miles from
Eagle. His father, John Sloper, works
for Judson & Lane, hardware and lum-
Der merchants of Eagle. They former
ly lived at 1906 North Twelfth street. in
this city.
After being captured. and upon being
pinned down, young Sloper admitted
his guilt to the officers and at the jail
this morning talked freely Of his Of
Tense to the Capital News. After see
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1912-09-20

ing that he could not escape, Sloper
broke out into a volley Of oaths directed
at the bloodhound which had been the
means Of his capture. He declared a
belief that he never would have been
captured had 1t not been for the dog.
The dog Is the same animal used by
Warden Shook In capturing a recent
convict who escaped from the peniten-
tiary by scaling the wall. He came
from Walla Walla. where he had been
used at the Washington state prison.
Sloper confesses that he robbed the
postofflce and store. Entrance was eff
fected by climbing through window.
He took about SIG in dimes. s. in dol
lars. 80 in halves and quarters. and two
sacks of nickels. making perhaps $25 in
all. He declares that he took no post
age stamps or other postoffice supplies,
but admits that he got about q dollars
worth of nickels from the drawer in
which postoffice money is kept. He
states that most of the money was Ia
ken from a cash register, but that a
part of 1t was taken from a candy box
in the store in which Postmaster Diehl
kept his money.
Sioper in his confession duplicates
Jess Wardell, another young man about
10 years Of age. He declares that it
was Wardel who suggested the crime,
but on this point. when seen by the
Capital News. he did not talk freely,
evidently being unwilling to give the
facts relative to this charge. He says
that he entered the store and commit
ted the robbery last night about II
o'clock and that he saw Wardell in
Eagle at 1880, when Wardell took the
