DEsPERADO LOPEZ
 IS PROBABLY DEAD
Poisonous Fumes Poured Into Mine
 for Over 24 Hours.

Bingham, Utah. Dec. 2.-No sound since last night has come from the Utah Apex mine in which Ralph Lo- peg. desperate, is confined. Today the exits. except that in the lowest level, were sealed with double bulkheads and tonight it was believed that the gas filled mine had become the fugftive's s tomb.
 The watchfulness of seven sheriffs and more than 200 deputies who ex- pected break for liberty on the part of Lopez, was relaxed, although the number of guards was not lessened. It was considered impossible for the Mexican to approach any of the exits without being overcome.
 The crowd of miners which has stood waiting vengeance since two of their number were killed in the underground battle or Saturday, dispersed tonight. They felt satisfied that the poisonous fumes pouring into the mine since yesterday had done their work How ever, the jaunty Mexican who killed a fellow countryman because of 8, woman,s favor and subsequently, five police officers, may be alive although this is not a probability. His one chance for life was to have sealed himself flp in some distant slope against the invasion of the gases

This ter Fitoy is overrun with rebels, directed for the most part by General Candido ,Ag94ilar.

 Practically all the locomotives have been using oil for some years, and the scarcity of coal will make return to that fuel difficult. If the Mexican Rail way also is barred from the use of eiI, and 1t is assumed that it will be
