keep dinner waiting. Will be home

he reached home, and his wife met
him at the door.
Did you get my message, dearest"
he asked quickly, hoping to forestall
the trouble.

WILL SMOKE OUT LOPEZ.
Mexican Murderer Must Make Dash
for Freedom or Perish.

Salt Lake City.-The bodies of ].
Douglas Hulsey, special deputy sher-
If, and Tom Manderich, Servian
miner, who fell before the murderous
fire of the Mexican outlaw, Saturday
afternoon, were removed from the
mine at Bingham Sunday noon by a
heroic little band that risked their
lives to get the bodies.
The death of Hulsey and Manderich
brings the list of dead up to an even
half dozen as result of the works
manship of the murderous Mexican
who slew a fellow countyman at Bing-
ham, killed three officers who pursued
him, doubled on his trail and came
back to the scene of the first shoot
ing, where he entered a mine and has
since been successful in standing off
an army of sheriffs, deputies and
posses gathered to run him down.
The recovery of the bodies removes
the last obstacle to the final ending of
the Mexican assassin. The relentless
pursuers of Lopez can now turn into
the mine the deadly sulphur and for
maldehyde fumes that will either
smother the murderer to death OF
drive him through a barricaded porta
into the fire of the rifles of the guards
The capture of Lopez may occur al
any moment when he rushes from one
of the seventeen entrances of the
mine, or he may meet his death like
rat in a trap, electing to perisl
from the deadly fumes; but the
chances are that he will die fighting

one day:
These fellows, praising the praise
worthy and blameworthy alike, do
harm. 1t was one of these fellows
