AS result of this battle, the le-

Deputy Warden Burns
VIII Remain On job

C. f. Burns, deputy warden at the
prison has withdrawn his resignation
and will remain with the job. This in
dieates either that Warden Murphy
will quit or that he has changed his
mind for he stated not long ago that
the prison was not big enough to hold
Burns and himself. This was probably
said while out of humor and the warden
has thought better of it. The governor,
warden and Burns held conference
yesterday at the prison and it is under
stood the governor told Burns and other
prison employees that the warden IS or
ders must be obeyed at all times. 1t is
stated he reprimanded Burns, who ad-
mitted his mistake, apologized and the
whole matter was amicably adjusted.
1t was the posting Of gun guard in
the dining room in contravention to
the warden S orders that caused the
trouble, this being done by Burns while
the warden was chasing after Baldwin.

driver resembling Horner, at Carls
Point about $3.50 Monday evening
This would indicate that Horner's
