for attempting to kill his wife about
three weeks ago. Cranovieh was re-
ported Yesterday as having been seen
by workmen in the mine, but those
who are supposed to have seen the
man could not be found by the sheriff
last night The rumor was that the
man seen answered the description Of
Cranovitch.
About two hours after the tapping
was heard at the Andy tunnel the
guards from the lower levels reported
hearing z tapping on the air pipes
This is thought to have ben additional
signals made by Lopez. Sound carries
long distance ON the pipes, which are
continuous, and it is thought that
Lopez is continuing his signalling.
Yesterday morning Lopez uttered
what was believed to have been his
last word. 1t was "Julius.' Face to
face at last with an enemy which his
death-dealine rifle could not affect,
the Mexican went into the Andy tunnel
and made his way to tho bulkhead-
Twenty feet deep and OF sturdy noun"
tain timber, it presented an impossible
barrier to the tired man"killer- The
fumes were thick around him. He
groped blindly about him. His moves
could be heard by the guards on the
other side.
Then came HJulius in voice that

hoarse He was calling his partner,

before when Julius Corrello begged
him to allow the bodies Of Hulscy and
Manderich TO BIO removed. 1t was his
appeal now.
to the bullShead. He called i'll Spanish
to Lopez. But there was no answer
Perhaps the fumes had caused him then
TO sink into faint from which he Will
never awaken, That is the belief OF
those who were there-Deputy Sheriff

J. D. Cortelle, three of the most in
domitable man hunters, and Julius Cor
relic.
The men could not tarry to see
whether more sounds Of life OF an
other appeal would come later. The
fumes that leaked through the small
crevices in the bulkhead were too much
for them. They had to seek the outer
air. The density and deadliness of the
smoke on the other side Of the barrier
could only be imagined. Life could
not exist in it long, and for this rea-
son the guards believe that the end
has come to Lopez
No Shot Heard.
No sound of shot was heard
throughout the day by the guards.
None of them believe that Lopez has
committed suicide.
Sheriff Smith said last night that
the bulkheads might be left in and the
smoking continued for forty-eight
hours. He is determined that no more
chances will be taken. There is no
chance of taking Lopez alive, SO the sher-
If has decided that the fumes must do
their work before he will risk the life
OF another man. However, it is be-
lieved that if there is no sign of life

he dense with the fumes. In that event
the Andy tunnel bulkhead will prob
aoly be opened and q seach made for
the body in its vicinity, Schettler,
Robinson and Cortello believe the body
will be found very close to the bulk
head. They do not believe he got
away after calling for Corrello.
Hunt Is Over.
''For the first time since the killing
Of Grant, Witbeck and Jensen, feel
reasonably contented, said Sheriff
Smith last night. "The chase for Lo-
PEI has been terrific strain because
have felt that the safety of the depu-
ties was my care, I have always argued
that no chance should be taken by the
men which might end in trouble.
have opposed such action from the
start. While that method might not be
as rapid as a plan calling for quick &C
tion. nevertheless, 1T is the safe way,
and I have never believed that Lopez
ever had chance to get away for
good.
|'The saddest thing of all was the
killing of Hulsey and Manderich at a
time when it was thought Lopez was
safely bottled up, Men on hunt of
this kind are ofttimes tempted to take
chances which should not be taken, and
would not be taken under ordinary cir
cunstances. Lopez cannot escape now
and is probably dead ere this, The
smoking of the mine will continue for
forty-eight hours and then we will
open up and get after the body of the
Mexican.
