Sheriffs Make New Move to
Capture the Mexican
Desperate

Bingham, Utah, December 1o.-Losing
faith in their ability to starve him out,
and having failed to smoke him out, the
sheriffs trying to capture Ralph Lopez
SLAYER of six men, decided tonight to
attempt to cut off his water supply in the
Utah-Apex mine.
With this plan in view posse Will
be sent into the mine within the next
few hours. Unless Lopez is dead or has
ESCAPED. another underground fight. such
as took place on November 49, when two
deputies were killed, Is thought probable.
The sheriffs are convinced that there are
only two places in the mine where the
desprado can obtain water. They intend
to string wires through the tunnels and
illuminate these places with searchllghts,
leaving guards stationed in the darkness
to prevent him approaching to drink.
Although the search of the miles OF un-
derground workings was discontinued on
Monday. for fear of sacrificing more lives,
the council of sheriffs decided that to cut
orr his water supply would be worth risk
ing another encounter with the deaoiy
marksman.
Lopez took refuge in the mine on NO

neace officers on November Il.

"MASTEH SIR WILLIAM ST. 10, ESQ"
The countess of Chrewsburg was ia
m1liarly known by her nickname "Bess
of Hardwiek." She was first married at
the age of II to John Barlow, the owner
Oh a large estate, who did not long sur
viVe, and left his widow wealthy. Sine
did not marry again for a number OF
years. Her second husband was Sir Will
liam Gavendish, who, to please her, sold
his lands in the south OF England and
purchased the Chatsworth estates insDer-
byshire
Sir William St Lo was the third hus-
band. When they were married she in
sisted that his lands should be settled on
her and her heirs. and when Sir William
died without issue she made good her
claim to all his property. "Bess of Hard
wick was now the weathiest subject Of
England. Her income was calculated to
amount to 100000 which was relatively
a far more important sum then than II
is today.
She still retained her good looks, and
she was much sought In marriage. With
the approval of Queen Elizabeth, who was
not by habit matchmaker, she was mar
ried in 1868. when she was so years of age,
to George Talbot, the sixth earl of
Shrewsbury. She made her usual good
bargain as to settlements.
This was the only unhappy marriage
OF the four. The earl tried to obtain a di-
yorce from his wife, and the countess re-
venged herself by accusing him of an IL
trigue with the Queen of Scots, charge
which she was forced to retract before
the council. After the death of her hus-
band in 1890 she lived mostly at Hard
wicke. where she built the noble mansion
which still stands. She died in l6tS.
