Show oo WATCH FOR LOPEZ IS FEATURELESS Bingham, Utah. Dec. 23. Yesterday's Yester-day's watch at the Andy workings Oi ! the Apex mine, where Lopez, the I Mexican bandit, is believed to be im- prisoned, was featureless. I Sheriff ndrew Smith Jr.. returned this morning from Salt LaHe and resumed re-sumed charge of the situation. He definitely announced that no move would be made to remove any of the bulkheads of the closed part of the mine before Christmas and Intimated that the opening anc search might even be delayed somewhat after that date. So far all efforts to locate the detective de-tective who forwarded the letter from the supposed brother of I.opoz to the city officials have proved without avail While the sleuth is supposed i to be a resident of Salt L-ake, he was evidently In Bingham when he post ed the letter enclosing the one which purported 'o be from the brother of the bandit to the detective asking for help in the escape of the refugee Some anxiety on the part of the guards to have the mine opened and the search completed that thev might return to their homes for Christmas wa dissipated yesterday and the men consented to stay at their posts until after the Yuletlde celebration |
