CURED In the smoke room OF the ship last
sunday night.
Three card sharps boarded the LUST
tania at New York. Two OF them were
supposed to be fellow travellers, while the
third used the name of famous Chicago
manufacturer and posed as very wealthy
man. The two fellow travellers pre-.
tended that they did not know the wealthy
Chicago man and picked fake quarrel
with him In the early part OF the voyage.
Later. however. the three men became
friendly and the Chicagoan Joined the
two others in a game OF bridge for high

Found Their Victim Easy.
The three men inveiglcd the son OF a
noted New York merchant. who is con-
nected with shipbuilding. into the game.
The sharpcrs stacked the cards. hut let
their victim down easily in the first game.
The next day the four played again and
the young New Yorker lost $500. The
young man had no idea that he had been
swindlcd and promised to pay the differ
ence between $3.50 in cash which he had
with him and the $500 which he had lost
before they landed.
In the meantime a steward recognized
one OF the sharpers and warned the young
New Yorker when the vessel was nearing
Fishguard. The young man then refused
to pay the $3.50 difference which he was
supposed to owe the sharpers. ON Sun
day evening while the young New Yorker
was sitting In the smoke room one of the
crooks approached. He upbraided the
young man as a welcher and then struck
him a savage blow in the face. Several
stewards rushed forward and protected
the young man from further attack. The
crooks were then ordered to keep to their
cabin until the vessel arrived at Fish
guard.
WOuIdn't Prosecute Crooks.
The assault on the young man created
a sensation and was the talk OF the
whole ship. The story of the card game
then came out and it was expected that
the crooks would be turned over to the
police when the vessel reached port. The
young man who had been fieeced refused
to prosecute them however. and the card
sharps landed with the other passengers.
When the young man arrived at his h0tsl

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec. SIS
"Dead Shot Lopez" still alive?
That's the information the
sheriff's posse is trying to seek
today.
Z The men entered the Utah-Apex
mine tunnels yesterday afternoon
and found tracks of a man crawl
ing on his hands and knees with q
rifle dragging. They followed the
tracks to a room. Taking no
chances, the men threw stick of
dynamite in the place and in an
instant the earth and rock came
crtlmbling down. Today the
posse is digging out the ruins for
the bandits body.
But he might not have been
there at all. The sheriff has or
dered his men to continue search
ing the mine for the man who has
taken the lives of six men with
seven bullets and is still at large.
Lopez was once a fancy shot
with Buffalo Bills show.
He shot his first man because a
woman had shown him too much
favor; the other five he killed as
they chased him after he fired
his first shot.
