ORE RODBER CHASED
ACROSS DESERT; HAD
sl400 OF RAD|UM


FOURTEEN hundred dollars worth
+ of high grade radium ore stolen
by one of his employees from the
camp southwest of Thompsons, we're
recovered yesterday by Ernest 7.
Herman and the latter with the
county sheriff is now searching
Green River to locate the daring
thief
The ore which is part of the big
strike recently reported from that
territory, was packed on saddle
horse. and the thief left in the night.
Herman learned of the robbery a
short time afterwards and started
in pursuit. The stern chase across
the desert threatened to end In the
capture OF the robber, but he
dumped the ore sacks and continued
his flight.
In a letter received by DR.. E. F.
Eldridge by which the news was
brought to this city, Mr.. Herman
says that he has his man located.
and that the sheriff OF Thompsons
and he are now on the mans trail
and hope to arrest him in Green
River tonight.
The robber was a former employe
at the mine, but had been discharged
for stealing small parcels of the
ore. He evidently thought to make
good haul" before leaving the
desert.
The ore now being taken out is
exceedingly valuable as the sack ta-
ken by the robber was small and
not very heavy.

The premier's attitude showed that
the tension OF the Greece Turkey

danger OF war is imminent. He found
difficulty in restraining his language
when he spoke OF of the treatment
OF the Greeks in Turkey. Prolonged

that thousands had left Turkey and
more thousands were awaiting trans

tors"
The premier characterized the
Turkish prosecutions OF the Greeks
as a chapter such as history had ney'

being the elimination of the popu
lations which have been living il
those places Tor several Thousand
years. II is estimated that the mum
