BINGHAM, December 1.-The fate
OF Ralph Lopez, slayer Of six men,
remained question early today when
1t appeared that only the removal
of bulkheads and search Of the Utah
Apex mine where he took refuge,
would answer. All night long smudges
poured their deadly gases into the
tunnel. A dozen deputies watched
each exit to shoot the desperate on
sight, but the expected dash for lib
erty did not come.
Early today fumes from wet gun
powder we're directed into the net
work of underground corridors. These
fumes are heaay and hang close to
the ground, beneath strata OF light
er gases that have been pouring into
the mine since yesterday morning. 1t
was expected the powder fumes would
settle into several blind stops not
yet penetrated by gases of less den
sity.
The seven sheriffs in charge are
convinced that Mike CranevecL, who
recently shot and seriously wounled
his wife. is not in the mine, or that
Ell would have surrendered himself
They found evidence that he had hid
den there before Lopez entered the
Andy tunnel last Friday. The fail
ure of Lopez to attempt a dash for
| liberty has led some to believe chat
perhaps the resourceful Mexican had
found a secure retreat from gases
and would live to fight another I'M
derground battle, such as occurred
Saturday when he killed two depu-
ties. .
Lopez is perhaps the most deadly
shot that ever faced posse, is hand
some and debonair, but his pursuers
have come to know that his bravadC
is not assumed.
Smudging will continue for at least
anonther "a hours.
Late reports state that they are
still attempting to smudge him out
Many doubt that he Is in the mine
but the officers still feel confident
that he Is.
Several Mexicans we're discovered
yesterday attempting to free the en-
toned desparado and wee discover

Seventh Case
OF Drowning
UNKNOWN MAN FOUND INST. JOE
Seven Bodies Picked Up In River Here During Past
Two Months

Saturday afternoon the Leventh
case of picking up drowned men near
this city Was recorded when some
workmen near the place where the
ferry formerly operated, discovered
that the body of a man WAS floating
near the shore Ia the ST. Joe river.
Undertaken Mulcahy. together with
the city authorities, we're notified at
once aud the body was removed from
the water aud taken to the undertak
ing parlors where IL was fixed for
burial.
The body bore evidence that 1t had
been in the water for at least three
or four weeks. as It was badly deoom-
posed, although the most careful
search failed to iind any marks upon
the remains to indicate that any foul
play had happenad the man. The
only mark Of any description was q
slight scratch on the left cheek. this
probably being caused by the body
coming in contact with some floating
wood or other debris.
The most careful search OF the
mans clothing failed to reveal any
thing which would identify him, the
only thing being found in the pockets
being a few small articles and 30
cents in money. The msz appeared
to be about 90 yeg A. age. was
somewhat tald. his being very
grey, weight about pounds
feet 10 inches in hei ARd clothed
IN rough heavy oil hs. such as Is
commonly worn by hber jacks. the
only difference being gAbat he wore q
pair of new black dress shoes al.
though his sox we're of the heavy
white wool variety. The trousers
we're dark grey in color, as was like
wise his heavy flannel shirt.
Many people visited the morgue
Sunday and viewed the remains but
no one had ever seen the man before
and It Is most doubtful whether the
body will ever be identified merely
swelling the long list Of missing
people about the country.
Since June the 9th, this has been
the seventh drowned person picked
up near this city, the only theory
upon which the police can set for the
solution of the problem being that
the bodies are those of lumber jacks.
who, having got drunk ia the saloons
in this city. have fell into the water
aud we're In no condition to swim OF
to even put up a struggle for their
lives.
