RICE MAY LAND
ON KELLER BOARD
Street RumOr Puts Councilman
As Possibility on Public
Works Board With WeidIer
and Augustine.

Councilman Arthur II. Rice, whose
term expires Jan. 5. will be a member
of Mayor-Elect Keller's board of pub
lie works, If not its president, ac-
cordlng TO current rumOr affecting
the matter of appointments Wednes-
day. That Rice, Charles Weidler and
George WitWer or Burr L. Augustine
will constitute this board, is asserted
by men who claim to have had a tip
following a meeting held at the Oliver
hotel Tuesday afternoon, at which
the mayor-elect was present.
Rice, as the story goes, is to have
a place on the board of public works,
his fitness for the place being said
to have been established by the
knowledge of things that he has ac-
quired as a councilman, and his dis
position toward the public utilities.
The mayor-elect, in this manner. it
IS said. Will show his appreciation of
the fight the councilman has been
putting up against the letting of the
lighting contract.
On the board of public safety,
Louis Kreidler druggist, sci s. Mich
lgan ST., IS being talked for a MEM
ber, and ditto, Nelson Jones. under
taker. Jones is the candidate of the
more liberal element in the citizens
party Renewed agitation in favor of
placing John b. Campbell on this
board. this from the more radical
element, is also being heard. h. b.
Ripple is also being talked.
That Irving w Sibrel is really slat-
ed to head the fire department, sue
ceeding Chief Grant, men who pre-
tend TO know declare of certainty,
and friends of Schuyler Terrell are
talking of him as city sealer as
though the matter were actually de-
cided.
But Mayor-Elect Keller continues
clOsedmouthed so far as telling any
one outside his immediate friends,
what he has in his mind. Those who
have approached him with regard TO
his appointments, regard him as a
good listener but a poor talker. He
has said that ii would be ten days or
two weeks yet, before he will be
ready to announce anything, and this
is generally taken as an indication
that his slate, at least, is not com
plete.
The meeting at the oliver hotel
Tuesday afternoon was attended by
several OF the party leaders whose
advice is believed to have been sought
by the mayor-elect, whether he in
tends 10 follow that advice or not.

BINGHAM, Utah. Dec. 3.-Guards
at the mine where Frank Lopez, the
Mexican outlaw, who il has developed.
was formerly trick rider and crack
rifle shot in Buffalo BilPs wild west
show, declared Wednesday that the
desperate in their opinion had es-
capped. and that he is probably far
from this section of the country, al
though the sheriff believes the man
dead. Several entrances TO the mine
hitherto unknown to those on duty
have been discovered At one Of these
entrances were found footprints.
The general opinion Of expert
miners is that Lopez escaped during
Tuesday night. Supt. Root of the
mine. would not permit the sheriff to
send black damp through the mine,
the sheriff admitting that he had been
misinforming the newspapers in this
respect.
Six Are Overcome.
Before erecting the outer buIkhead
in the main tunnel Tuesday, six men
went to the inner bulkhead, 300 feet
from the mouth, to examine it. Short

staggered out, overcome from the gas
that has leaked through the parti-
ton. Deputies rushed inside and car
ried out the other five, all Of whom

We're revived, but II was striking tes-
timony of the deadliness Of the gases
that fill the mine.
The gases Tuesday night were be-
ing generated only in the lowest vein
of the mine. Here various compost
tiOns were being used in the smudges
which were kept burning directly be
meath shafts leading TO the upper
workings, where Lopez took refuge
last Thursday night after eluding his
pursuers in the open for nearly a
