Probe Death of Americans

Ell Paso, Texas.-A sweeping inves-
tigation Of the murder of Holly Her
ring, foreman of a livestock and agri-
culture loan company cattle outfit, on
the Ojo FREDERICK ranch, and Grover
@. .(Buck) Kernegay of the Alamo
Alton ranch near Ascension, Chihua-
hua, has been started by American in
terests in that district. With the APP
proval of John w. Dye, American con-
sui in Juarez, $1,000 has been sub
scribed to employ a detective. 1t was
made plain today that Americans of
northwest Chihuahua and the Ameri-
can consul are not satisfied with the
inquiry so far. They fear that if the
murderers are not apprehended and
punished renegades known to be in
the district will commit further crimes
and lives and property of Americans
will not be safe.

GREYBULL, WYOMING, is
SWEPT BY RAGING BIG HORN

Greybull, Wyo.-The 1000 residents
of this city are resting after a terrific
battle with the raging waters of the
Big Horn river which threatened to-
destroy the city. Six streets Of the
city. including Greybull avenue. the
main business street, were covered
with water. Residents to keep the
flood from the Easements of the bust
ness blocks. built barriers in front Of
the doors and along the curbings to
break the rushing waters, but ever
with this protection nearly a half mil
lion dollars worth of property damage
was caused In Greybull alone. The
waters have receded. and word from
above this city states that no alarm
need be felt for a further rise from
the present conditions. The city'S
streets are free from debris, but a sea
flood waters ragged.
A report from Basin, Wyo., was to.
the effect that the flood waters in that
city and vicinity were receding. Warn
ing which reached this city and Basin
permitting the residents Of the low
lands to seek safety, no doubt pre-
vented loss of life and even greater
property damage than was incurred.

NOTORIOUS BANNER
TRIAL OCTOBER IS
Charged With Numbering John Sprouse
and Wife at Central Park
on Yellowstone Trail

Seth Orrin Danner, charged with
the double murder of John Sprouse
and his wife, Florence Sprouse. on
November IA, 1920, in a confession Of
his wife, Iva Danner, will be tried for
the murder of Mrs. Sprouse Monday.
October 10, in Bozeman. In setting the
date for the trial, Judge B. B. Law
consulted County Attorney E. A. Pc
t~erson, who said he wished to have
this case tried first for the reason
that the states principal witness
claims she saw this alleged murder.
Because of the startling confession
OF Mrs. banner charging her husband
with committing the crime 30 months
after their commission; the dramatic
scenes connected with the finding of
the bodies in a shallow grave at Cen
trail Park, 70 feet off the Yellowstone
trail the arrest of Danner and his de-
tention in the county jail; his denial
of the charges in whole and in part;
his extreme Indifference, apparently,
regarding the outcome of the cases
against him; the subsequent divorce
proceedings in which the main witness
was granted absolute divorce, and the
wide publicity of the alleged details
and facts connected with the crimes.
Judge Law was inclined to believe an
extra large panel of jurors was neces-
sary. For this reasen he ordered

SOVIET UPR|S|NGS IN
BULGARIA SUPPRESSED
BoIshevik Influence Among Peasants
Confined to a Few Isolated
Northern Districts

Paris.-The official version of the
situation in Bulgaria as set forth in
dispatches received by the Bulgarian
legation kere is as follows:
The soviet movement is scattered.
being confined to small settlements
among which there are no leaders, and
which have little power of resistance
The work of repression is difficult be-
cause the movement is most general in
the mountainous regions and the small
Bulgarian army has no strength to
deal with such scattered uprisings over
a widespread area.
When troops are able to reach the
scene of an outbreak the communists
surrender Immediately and generally
it is not necessary to use violence.
Northern Bulgaria now is the region
most affected.

BODIES OF WRECK VICTIMS
MAY NEVER BE IDENTIFIED

Casper, Wyo.-Unless bodies are
taken out of the wreckage of Bur-
lington passenger train No. 30 soon,
it is feared that all chances of identi-
fication will have passed. Bodies Of
the unfortunate persons who were
aboard Burlington's No. 80, Denver
bound train, which plunged headlong
into the raging stream, II miles east
of here in most instances will have to
be placed in caskets never to be
opened by friends and relatives for
purposes of Identification.
DIR. J. f. O'Donnell, division medical
examiner of the Burlington, said that
the speed of the stream, which is a
virtual mountain falls now, will so
mar the faces of those in the water,
together with the decomposition which
soon will set in, as to make embalming
even difficult.
