VIOLENCE FROM
UNDERWORLD IS
FEARED, CLAIM
Gov. Ross Unperturbed
as She Is Guarded
Constantly
BY United Press Leased Wire

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April IL
State prohibition authorities were
mofficially credited with response
bility for the two civilian guards
who have been mysteriously patrol
ing the executive mansion of Gov
ernor Nellie TAYLOR Ross since last
Saturday night.
Officials of that department, how
ever, refused to accept or deny the
esponsibility.
The guard is reported to have
quietly gone on duty about a week
ago Neighbors Of Governor Ross
said today they first noticed the
two men last Saturday night. Their
identity has not been determined
but they are generally credited with
being dry Officers.
Violence was expected to come
from quarters where Governor Ross
activities against liquor and marco
tic vendors have been most strong
lv felt. Underworld characters who
have been operating in Wyoming oil
fields are at the root of the trouble,
Wachtel indicated.
Governor Ross has been guarded
constantly during the last week.
Investigators from state prohibition
offices have guarded the executive
mansion every night recently and
detectives watch over her while she
is at work in her office.
Plot Against Governor
Investigations of tnis office, -
n. c. Wachtel state commissioner of
law enforcement said, "have con
vinced us there are plots against
Governor Ross. | ordered h 8
guard on duty against the wishes
of our governor. 1t will be kept
on the job until we have the matt
ter in hand.
At the office of Governor Rosd
it was said she refused to take the
matter seriously. Efforts TO ge:
her views were unavailing.
The mystery of the guard was
further complicated by the announce
ment that Governor Ross would hear
charges of misconduct against Sher-
iff Loomis at Cody, Wyo., April
20. LOomis has been charged by
the prosecuting attorney of Park
county with accepting bribes from
bootleggers and owners of disorder
lv resorts in and near Yellowstone
