Cherry Denies He Is Man
Who Is Wanted In Georgia

The actions of George Porter
Cherry since he was confronted with
the discovery of his probable iden-
tity as George Porter Smitnerman,
wanted for murder in Dublin, Ga.
have'been such as to confirm the Of
ficers in the belief that Cherry IS
the man. Yesterday he repeated MS
denial that ne was Smitherman, but
his answers to other questions were
evasive, says the Journal.
When told that there was a letter
waiting for him at the Eiks' home,
addressed to G.. P. Smitherman,
Cherry said that he was not Smith
erman. but admitted he would like
to see what was in the letter
No word as to the coming of Sher-
iff Flanders from Georgia is now ex-
pected for about four days, in which
time letter may reach him from
Reno and he may reply by wire.
The disposition of Cherry seems to
be somewhat Of a puzzle. If he be
indicted there is no way for Georgia

Word has been received in Tono-

the Interior Department, has issued
an order creating a power site re-
serve in Boulder canyon on the Col
orado river, about twenty miles east
of Las Vegas, in Clark county. The
next thing by the government will
be the consideration of the applica-
ton of number of Tonopah peo-
pie who are desirous of entering the
canyon and taking up an immense
power site, capable. it is said, of
producing 10000 horsepower. The
purpose of the company is, if there
is no failure of their plans. to fur
nish power to the section of country
lying between Ely, Nevada, and
kingman, Arizona
Ii is estimated that to install the
plant will cost $l,900,000.

night you missed a treat, for the
Carson boys played one of the hot,

The locals took the lead from the
Renos at the outset of the game and
never let go until they had piled UP
a victory by a score of SO to II.
Both clubs were in fine form, and
Reno must be comp1imented on its
fine floor work, but lacked precision
and accuracy in getting tine ball into
the basket. This is where the Car
sonites shone. They made few fiji
tile attempts to get the ball to goal
and their superb work in this line
won for them the game Through

BINGHAM. Utah, Dec o.-After
searching third of the Utah Apex
mine the posse which penetrated the
stronghold of Ralph Lopez, slayer
OF SIX men, came oul tonight and
announced to the thousands of ex-
petant miners that they had found
rothing to indicate the crafty des-
EcradC was dead.
The places where his body would
most likely have been were care
fully gone over. The Andy tunnel
and Andy incline, in which the bat
tie that cost the lives of two depu-
ties Saturday was fought, the Par
rell tunnel, where Lopez called
through the bulkhead Monday for
his friend, Julio, Corrello, and other
pats of the workings were penetrat-
eI without result.
Tonight the belief grew that once
again the sheriffs of nine Utah coun-
ties and their hundreds of deputies
had been outwitted by the man who
several times since the pursuit be-
gan on November 2l, has risked cap
ture in order to jeer at their efforts.
The smudges that had generated
deadly gases since Monday were al
lowed to die down last night and
early today the double bulkheads in
the tunnel mouths were removed
Driven by strong draft the smoke
and fumes belched forth from the
exits like volcanoes, so that enough
pure air had entered for the depu-
ties to begin their search this after
