Eight davs after Lopez killed Valdez in Bingham Canyon he was back at the scene of the murder No one knows yet— except Lopez— how he negotiated that distance from the McIntyre lanch while posse after posse was combing eyery foot of terrain for him When Napoleon startled Europe with the speed of his armies as they traveled with unparalleled speed the enemy looked for some sort of magic The explanation of Napoleon's maneuvers was simple — he mcrelv speeded up his men The speed with which Lopez traveled mav aiso have a simple explanation but as It was viewed at the time It was miraculous When he reappeared In Bingham Canyon he spoke to a friend He had come back for money which his partner kept In his possession His friend betrayed him and told the police The chase for Lopez shifted at once -- sue tpans I'a-- tf V'O 1‘erMXlrnt Pate ble PctWCO Tooth c 4 Tooth P&te Me tiro K eenex (letnure-lookin- W Size" I fc'erlne Kottx 5 j: cream the price is $1 Slxol f Sprig (bright green) Bangkok I’orle Vim (emerald) Pie Crust (brownish tan) Waikiki (medium brown) Duomo ese ITalS Be Modeled in T1 (purplish blue) AV ill Taris Plage (dark sand with ro Our Window to 2 30 and 4 to 4 30 Third Floor Creations Millinery of Salon Authenticity Opening the Week With Three Fashion Groups $io $5 $15 Two Correct Footnotes to a The First Dress Coats of Successful Spring Ensemble Make a Fashionable Appearance setting with their utter smartness 4 § things as flares godetc tucking? capes collar treatments etc for their chic Furs too have quite a bit to do with the story especial- 3 'Iftf A n A- - OUC - ’1"Ue boxe W OQc 33c llttinne ' 00 fine ia Lotion jrro Stic oo i Ho I'otlon T?

Bingham bristled with guns Lopez coud not get aw a v History should be gentle with the sheriff who said "Today Is the last day on earth for Lojiez The mine where lie is making ms last stand will be Ills mausoleum ” It was a grim picture when a week after Lopez was barrleaded In the mine the remaining fumes were allowed to escape and the barriers torn down When it seemed sate to enter and drag out the body the mine was invaded There was no Lopez The next day the fugtlve s bedding was found And that same day he robbed a miner who had strayed into a remote tunnel Rewards were offered reports came from everywhere that Lopez had been seen It was known that when he went Into the mine —some say he never did— his shoes were cut to ribbons and his feet were bleeding sores Four davs after the mine was reopened after fumigation Sam Rog-e- is a shift boss for the Utah-Ape- x talked with Lopez They were frlpnds Lopez told him he would die fighting He expressed a desire to kill two friends who had betrayed him and after that he would take Ills chances The mine was barricaded again This entailed the closing of numerous exits It had been said one was overlooked long enough to permit Lopez to escape but after the Rogers story there could be no doubt Lopez was still underground What was he eating? What was he drinking? How could be live? Who was It who said during the World War he was going to get the bovs out of the trenc hes bv Christmas?
