Royal Ruler of the Order of Good Fellows
Announces His Plans for Celebrating
Christmas

~ OOD FELLOW, royal ruler Of the
Order of Good Fellows, motto.
Il ing the various Christmas win
dow displays, the suggestions on
signs and in advertisements, asking
people to "do their shopping early"
decided that he must start his work
again, so locking up his business desk
yesterday he took his good fellowship
key and opened the desk Of his order.
He announces that the password, grip,
initiation fee and secret work this year
will be the same as last. All these
requisites are comprised In the true
spirit Of the Christmas season-good
fellowship. The only belief that the
members have to have Is that they can
enjoy Christmas more by giving small
amount toward making Santa Claus p
possibility in the homes Of the city Is
poor.
When seen yesterday afternoon at
his headquarters, the royal ruler Of the
biggest-hearted order in the world was
busy making out lists of children Of
the city's poor Without the help Of
tbe Good Fellows these children would
awake Christmas morning with the
realization that there either is no
Santa Claus or that the saint is only Y
rich mans Santa Claus. The thou
sands of "good fellows" throughout
the city who send their names, addresses
and number OF children for whom they
will buy presents this year, to Good
Fellow. the head of the order, Will make
Santa Claus a reality in every homo
of the city.
Discusses Campaign.
In discussing his campaign for this
wear Good Fellow said:
I sent out letter last year TO
the GOOD fellows of Salt Lake tel
ling them that on Christmas DAY,
1e1l. at least 1000 children awoke
and found that their stockings were
empty. That letter evidently hit
the spot for do you know that as q
result of the response Of good fel-
lows OF this city, there were mighty
few children, ut least whose names
and addresses were secured by the
Order of Good Fellows, forgotten
bv the Christmas saint
The letter referred to by the royal
ruler proved such result-oringer IN
last years membership campaign and
VOC the direct cause Of 30 many full
Stockings for the children Of INDECENT

He has plenty OF ammunition. He
has his own gun with nearly thirty
rounds of ammunition and il is he
lieved that he has secured Hulsey's
gun and cartridge belt with forty
rounds OF ammunition. Like wounded
animal, he is prepared TO fight to the
last, and the fear is still strong that
other victims may be added to those
already dead before Lopez succumbs
to the bullets of the officers or the
penetrating and deadly sulphur fumes.
Shoot Out Lights.
The escape Of the officers In The seo-
ond battle was q dramatic feature Of
the underground fight with the bandit
After the first firing they had been
caught beyond the deadly incline where
Lopez lay In ambush. To escape they
must pass between Lopez and their
lights, in direct line Of the deadly fire
Of the Mexican. They could not sec the
Mexican, but TO him they leomed up
large targets for his bullets.
From Deputy Sheriff julius Sorenson,
came the suggestion to shoot out the
lights. Sheriff Philip Ajets OF Tooele
and s. s. Jones OF Bingham drew a
bead on the lights and fred. Both
lights went out and the officers dashed
past the incline to safety.
The battles in the dark tunnel were
preceded by the discovery that Lopez
had been making his headquarters in
this section OF the tunnel This dis
covery was fraught with disastrous
results, for had it not been made it
is more than likely that the officers
would not have entered there and iost
two of their number.
Seek to Smoke Him. Out.
The original plan of procedure was
TO smoke out the mine thoroughly Ell
ther driving the Mexican to seek the
open air or suffocating him within the
mine. Pursuant to this plan the va
rious levels were thoroughly smoked,
at the top. TO do this the
officers we're not entering the mine but
building the fires at the entrances 20

the dark recesses Of the mine. Two OF
seven men who were in the incline fell
dead before the fire of the bandit, and
their bodies are still within the mine.
Begins Battle Again.
Two hours later the darkness which
concealed the Mexican in tho incline of
the tunnel spoke again and another
rain Of bullets came out of the mouth
of the incline. The bullets hit the
rocks close to a party Of guards seek
ing the Mexican. The guards escaped

shot out their own lights in order to
lessen the accuracy Of the fire. OF the
outlaw.
Joining the pursuers OF Lopez late
yesterday afternoon, julius Corrello,
former partner and close friend Of Jo.
PEI, entered the mine and called to Lo-
pez. Corrello spoke into tho darkness
of the Andy incline, addressing his for
mer companion in Spanish. He begged
him to cease his bloody career and give
himself up to the officers. lie asked
for some response, but the darkness did

the heart-deep smile which goes with
the thought that he is doing some good
in the world.
Probably q majority Of the "good
fellows" will look somewhat like their
chief There is little doubt that they
will wear smiles as soon as they enter
the fold of the organization, for frowns
and good fellowship do not associate
with one another. In fact, they are

places the Joys of toys for little girls

Continues Discussion.
Continuing his discussion Of the work
to be accomplished this year and warm.
ing to the subject Of the "Christmas
spirit" Good Fellow said:
Those who have read Dickens's
"Christmas Carol''-and most of
us have-will remember the charac-
ter Of "Scrooge," the hard~heart-
ed, stingy old man who declared
that the spirit Of Christmas was
not real, that 1t was all sham La
ter in the story by tho good fell
lowship method Scrooge was con-
vinced that the words merry
Christmas do mean something. So
you see that our order is an ancient
ono and was on the job even in the
days Of which Dickens wrote.
There are not so many Scrooges
in the world Most all Of us believe
that there is different spirit In
the air during the holidays. Take
any city every Christmas season
when the tired clerks have to work
overtime to supply the demands Of
shoppers, every newspaper In the
land urges people to shop early.
The work Of the charitable associa-
tions In giving fuel and food to
poor families at this season Is made
possible through the loosening Of
purse strings of persons imbued
with this spirit. Rich men give
hundreds of dollars and even poor
men and women who can afford
but little give what they can in or
der that somebody's mother, wife
or children may be warmed and
clothed on Christmas day.
Can Feel Spirit.
We can almost feel this spirit
when the millions Of church bells
throughout the land ring out their
clear, glad notes in honor of the
child, whose birthday it is. Hand.
clasps seem warmer and friends
seem dearer as the magic words,
"Merry Christmas" roll from
tongue to tongue throughout Chris
tendon. Nearly everybody has tho
proper Christmas spirit and so the
Order of Good Fellows has task,
comparatively easy. All that is
wanted is that this spirit shall have
proper application. Good Fellow
