GIRL MAY ASK BANDIT
LOPEZ TO SURRENDER
Sweetheart of Mexican Murderer Plans
Entering Mine and PersuadIng
Him to Come Forth.

Bingham, Utah.--It is rumored here
that efforts are being made to induce
Elvira Ocariz, sweetheart of Raphael
Lopez, to enter the Minnie mine in
company with Raphael l.. Balarde,
Mexican consul for Utah, and try to
persuade her bandit lover to surrend-
er.
IL Senorita Ocariz is willing to go
into the mine the Mexican consul Will
come to Bingham and accompany her
into the mine. If the girl proves to
be unwilling to assent to the plan, the
Mexican consul may make the effort
alone.
The plan is to have the girl attract
the attention of the bandit somewhere
in the Andy workings where the out
law is believed to be making his rem
devious, and assure him that the Mex
lean consul is in the mine in the ca
pacity of friend and advisor.
If Lopez consents to conference
and makes his presence known, the
Mexican consul will inform him that
he has been assured Of absolute pro
lection and fair triai, and that as the
representative of the Mexican govern
ment he will assist Lopez in securing
competent counsel and fair treatment.

MEXICAN MINERS CHARGED
WITH AIDING DESPERATE
Men Employed In Bingham Mine Said
to Be in Plot to Aid Rafael
Lopez to Escape.

Bingham, Utah.-It is reported here
hat Mexican miners have been sup
plying Rafael Lopez with food and
comforts during his stay in the Apex
mine, and have been endeavoring to
raise purse to aid him in getting
out of the country In case he leaves
the mine. His presence there at a
recent date has been almost absolute
y confirmed This is the information
given the sheriff's forces by Pinker-
ton detectives working in the mine.
The information does not indicate
that Lopez was in the mine during
the past week. 1t was simply to the
effect that during the early occupancy
Of the mine by Rafael Lopez, food was
supplied him by his countrymen, and
that movement was on foot among
miners of that nationality to raise a
500 purse for him The Pinkerton
operatives were employed as miners
and say they associated intimately
with Mexican laborers.
1t has been decided by the sheriff S
force to bulkhead the stope in the
Andy tunnel near the scene of the
shooting of J. Douglas Hulsey and
Tom Mandervich, where Lopez is re-
ported to be. The bulkheading of
this stope will serve to limit the
workings of the mine to which Lopez
will then have access, to four miles.
Believing that by thus circumscrib-
