CHIEF AND TWO DEPUTIES
SHOT DOWN BY MEXICAN
Officers Anbushed by Murderer. Who
Fires Three Shots, Each Shot
Dealing Death.

Bingham. Utah.-Chief of Police J.
w. Grant. Deputy Sheriff Nephi Jen-
sen and Deputy Sheriff Otto Witbeck.
all of Bingham. were shot and killed
Friday afternoon at O'Clock near
Saratoga Springs, Utah. by Ralph Lo-
paz, a Mexican miner, who escaped
from Bingham early Friday morning
after he had slain John Baldez, fell
low countryman.
Topaz has escaped, the trail which
he has made in the snow indicating
that he has gone in a general souther-
ly direction toward Mosida. where it
IS thought he may make an effort to
get into the Tintic mountains.
The trail over which Topaz is trav-
cling is covered with three to fous
inches of snow and it is thought that
if he is not captured he will either
starve or freeze to death. He is light
ly clothed and has no provisions
Bloodhounds have been placed on the
Mexican's trail.
The officers were shot from ambush
as they were trailing the murderer
Topaz fired but three shots, each one
killing an officer. The fourth officer
in the party fired several times at the
fleeing Mexican, but is doubtful that
he wounded him.
Investigation shows that after the
shooting. the Mexican, hidden in a
trench in the crossword, crawled for
forty or fifty yards. Then, his foot
prints show, he ran. But darkness de-
scended upon the searchers, and for
the night all hopes of following the
trail were given up.
The crime which was the cause Of
the murder of Chief Grant and Dep
uties Jensen and Witbeck, occurred
at Bingham Thursday morning about
l O'Clock. Ralph Topaz and John
Baldez had an alteration at the cab
in of the latter above the Highland
Boy mine. Both we're miners in the
Yampa mine and had had a disagree
ment, the exact nature of which could
not be learned by their companies.
Mexicans inside the cabin heard
the men quarreling outside and ther
heard a shot. Baldez was found out
side, shot through the breast. He
died within a few minutes. Topaz
went into the hills at once.

HUERTA AWAITS NEXT MOVE.
Seems Convinced That United States
Will Not Intervene.

Mexico City.-Resigned apparently
TO those conditions which make IT
necessary to carry on a dilatory cam
paign against his enemies, President
Huerta and his official dependents
appeared serene on sunday. He seem
ed convinced the United States would
not take more drastic measures to-
ward the Mexican government than
those already taken.
1t has been rumored that congress
would not continue to meet; that Il
would be automatically dissolved and
that General Huerta was about to
quit office. All these have been dis
proved. Congress has launched into
what promises to be a prolonged SEES
sion.
