THINK LOPEZ GOT OUT
THROgGH COTTONWOOD

Interest in the career of Ralph
Lopez, the MEXICAN bandit who
killed six men and is now at large,
and speculation ss to how he effect.
ed his escape from the Utah-Apex
mine, have been revived by the
report that a rifle and a pistol
scabbard were found Tuesday night
on the tramway trestle that crosses
Cotton gulch, says u Bingham
dispatch. According to the story
reported there, the rife had the
appearance of having been exposed
To the weather for a considerable
period of time. The report is being
investigated and an effort will be
made to identify the rifle. Should
it prove to he the one given to the
Mexican by Stefano, the TIA ian,
whose cabin the bandit visited, it
is thought the secret Of the direc-
tion taken by the Mexican in his
flight may yet be discovered.
The Caromendal tunnel, one of
the outlets of the Apex workings
opens into Cottonwood gulch and at
M time it was feared that Lopez
had escaped that way. Tracks of
a man were found in the snow at
the portal of the tunnel by a guard,
but it was afterward thought they
were the footprints of g leaser who
had visited the tunnel and no i'm
pertance was attached to them.
At one time during the guard
ing Of the mine, a man was seen
going over the trestle on which the
rifle and the revolver scabbard are
reported to have been found. 1t
was in the night time and the man
seemed to be trying to dodge no.
tice. He disappeared after reaching
the hillside going down the canyon
into Carr Fork.
A report is becoming current
that a fund was raised among the
friends of the bandit to aid his es-
cape from the mine and later from
the country. Such a fund it is
said might have been subscribed by
friends whose sympathies had
been with the outlaw from the first
and by others who had been won to
his cause BIZ his hard fight for life
to the amount of several thousand
dollsrs.-Expositor.

That our country has been such

the hundred years which have
passed since the Treaty Of Client

may not be only the precursor of
a perpetual peace between Great
Britain and the United States, but
the promise of a broadening era of
enduring peace between all nations.

On Christmas Eve, 1914, Messrs.
John Quincy Adams, James A. Bay

and Jonathan Russell, on behalf of
the United States, and Lord Gam
bier, DR.. Adams and Henry Gould
burn, Esq, on behalf of Great

a few months later peace soci-
