GOVERNOR ROSS
OF WYOMING DEAD
AFTER HARD FIGHT FOLLOWING
OPERATION, DEATH RE-
LEAVES SUFFERING
Was Third Democrat to Hold Execu-
tive Chair of State Of Wyonl-
Ing; State Mourns His
Passing

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Governor William
B. Ross of Wyoming, died in Me
mortal hospital here early Thursday
morning October second.
Governor Ross underwent an oper-
alton for appendicitis at the hospital
here last Wednesday. The operation
was pronounced successful, but with
in the last few days his condition be-
came serious, with the development
Of complications. The executive was
stricken soon after he had addressed
meeting at Laramie, Wyo., Tuesday
night, September %.
Physicians, who attended Governor
Ross said that phlebitis, an inflam-
alton of the veins, had set in three
days ago. Governor Ross was 81
years old.
Governor Ross was the third Demo
crat to be elected to the governorship
of Wyoming during the thirtyfour
years since the territory was admit
ted to statehood. He was elected in
1922 to a four-year term, which be-
gan January 1, 1923. He was born
in Tennessee fifty one years ago. He
came to Wyoming in 1901, a young
attorney just out of law school, and
opened an office in Cheyenne. So
successful was he in practice that
within few years he was elected
prosecuting attorney of Laramie
county.
In 1910 he was the Democratic
candidate for representative in con,
gress. In 1917 he was candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, but was defeated in the |
primary election by small majority.
His election to the governorship |
in 1922 followed one of the bitterest
political campaigns ever waged In
Among his most notable
official acts were the recommends
ton of submission of a constitution
al amendment providing for a sever
ance tax and the calling of special
session of the legislature in July,
1922, to provide farm loans and other
needed emergency legislation. The
severance tax amendment which he
recommended will be submitted to the
electorate at the November election.
t was while pursuing a speaking
in advocacy of the proposed
that he developed his
atal illness.
Governor Ross is survived by a
widow, who was Miss Nellie Taylor
f Missouri, and three sons, George
nd Ambrose, who are students at
he University of Wyoming, and
pupil in the Cheyenne
ublic schools.
The death of Governor Ross makes
ecessary the election of a governor
the general election November 4,
ext. Under Wyoming law, the Sec
etary of state becomes acting gov
nor in the event of the latter's :,
cath. If the governor dies within !
venty days of a next general cleo
on, the secretary of state serves as
citing governor during the remain 5
sr of the term to which a deceased il
)vernor was elected. f

26 CHILDREN TO-
STAY HOME FROM
I LOCAL SCHOOLS

The probable outcome of an is
sue which has been slowly develop
ing for some time as result of
the action of parents of a number
of grade school children of this city
who have refused to have their
children examined for possible tra-
choma infection still seems to be un-
decided, Notwithstanding the fact
that DR.. F. A. Burger city health
officer, has issued instructions, eff
fective yesterday, that unexamined
children be refused admission to
school!
DR.. Burger has sent out word to
parents of children who have so far
not been examined, stating that the
children would be refused admis-
sion to school until such eXamina-
tions were made. This order COW
cred 26 cases and embraced pupils
in each one of the city grammar
schools. f,
In accordance with this move by
the health authority, Superintendent
A. p. Shibley is refusing admission
of these children, whose names
were given him by DR.. Burger, to
any school in the city.

CRASH VICTIM
'' DIES TODAY

Jose WentenapO, Mexican, died
early this morning on ranch south
east of FL Centre, as the result of
injuries received in an automobile
accident Saturday afternoon. His
body was brought to the funeral
parlors of b. f. Lemons where an
inquest is to be held this afternoon.
Wentenapo was one of five Mex
leans who were in the ear at the
time of the accident, two miles,
south of Ell Centre on the Calexico
highway. They were rushed TO the
FL Centre hospital by passersby,
who saw the ear lying on its side
at the edge of the road. Four of
the Mexicans were later taken to
the county hospital and on Monday
they were discharged, it being
thought they were not seriously
hurt.
Late yesterday Wentenapo, who
is said to have no relatives and no
money, became worse, and early to-
day, he died. The four others who
were in the wreck are: A. Apacado,
Morteo Contraras, NJ. Einoloas and
Raphael Candies.

QUARTER MILLION
LOST IN BLAZE
OF OIL TANKS
by United Press Leased Wire

TAFT, Calf, April 29-Fire con-
tinued today to sweep four NAM
moth oil tanks on the General Pc
troleum Corporation here, with con
troll of the blaze still in doubt.
Two light crude oil tanks have
burned out the blazing oil running
over the sides of the tanks and on
to surrounding ground.
The flames are now sweeping two
heavy crude oil containers, and an
army of workmen is anXiously wait
ing to see if the seething mass also
boils over.
More than 10000 barrels of oil
were in the four tanks when the
blaze started yesterday. The loss
thus far is estimated at 5000.
Several hundred oil workers have
been rushed to the scene, and have
constructed dikes, hoping to prevent
the boiling oil from spreading. 1t
is doubtful if the sretaining walls
will be sufficient to retain the oil
from the heavy crude tanks, should
it boil over.
No more tanks are in danger,
the fire being confined to the four
huge containers i'll the group.
The fire is believed to have been
started by workers welding in IL
patch, using an aeetylene torch.

NORTHEND FEUD
LANDS One MAN
in COUNTY JAIL
Calipatrian Says Former
Associate Tried to
Shoot Him

Being disturbed when one IS rest
ing on cot, by having another
man walk up and say, 81 guess i III
shoot you,' is not the most pleas
ant of sensations. At least A. B.
Krantz, cotton rancher near Cali
patria, says he feels tha. way about
it.
According to the story he told
police, he was resting on cot at
the home of Il friend, Q. b. Crary,
Calipatria, shortly after noon on
Sunday, when J. l.. Hansen, his
partner, walked in and threatened
to shoot him.
AS Hansen drew his gun, Krantz
said, others interfcred and OFFICER
Holmes was called. He arrested
Hansen, who was brought before
the Justice of the Peace there yes
terday for arraignment. He plead
ed self defense. He was brought
to the Jail here yesterday to await
trial on u charge of assault with
intent to kill.
Hansen's story differs from that
told by Krantz. He told deputies
lat the sheriff s office here that
Krantz had declared that he and
his family were under obligations
to him (KrantZ), and that Orville
Hansen, 12 year old son Of the
prisoner, had seen Krantz and his
SON loading their revolvers. Han
sen said he went home and got his
own gun and went back. 1t was
then that he was arrested.
The two men came to Calipatria
this spring, where they contracted
to raise q cotton crop on a ranch
nearby. 1t is thought that they
had become involved in business
quarrel and that the trouble on
Sunday was the outcome OF that
quarrel. The date of the trial of
Hansen has not been set.

ply on incomes of $1,000,000 or

30 per cent on 100000 up to 81
percent on $1,000,000
The Mellon plan would levy 25

gressives, 1t will be presented to
the senate shortly.

minutes later the jury filed back
into the court room with the YER

With no visible sign of emotion,
McCray heard the readiAg of the

unable to comprehend the signifi.
cance of the words.
Later, in the office Of United

indictment in 13 counts, charging

In summariiy ordering McCray
to Jail without an opportunity to
visit his family, Judge Anderson
branded the governor as guilty of
more felonies than any man he had
known in his q years experience as
Il jurist.~
His order fell like thunderbolt
on MeCraN 1t was entirely uHex-
Eected.
n iew moments before while the
court recessed, he 'phoned his of
flee and asked his secretary TO in
form his wife that he would be
home late to supper.
Mrs. McCray, at the executive
mansion awaitijg the jury |; ret
port, heard the news of her hus-
bands conviction and collapsed.

in defense of his acts the statement
that he had intended no wrong.
