Utah-Apex mine, where he took refuge
oat November 27, he is securely sealed
tllafter Christmas. Not a sound has
come from the mine since December 14
when heavy bulkheads were erected in
the tunnel mouths to prevent k dash
for liberty. . ' " '
Although Sheriff Smith, now in c harge
of the man hunt was confident today
that the desperado is either dead or
alive in the mine many, believe he es
caped shortly after smudges were lit
on December 1 for the purpose of as
phyxiating him and the mystery of the
mine will not be cleared until thq bulk
heads are removed and the workings
searched for the gunman's body.
Other than the stories of miners who
said they had encountered Lopez and
talked with him there has been nothing
to indicate Lopez's presence in thoine
since November 30 following his killing
of two deputies in the Andy tunnel.
The pursuit of Lopez began on No

can. Before the day ended he had killed

The following storm warning was re
ceived at the local weather observa
tory latclast night:
Hoist Southeast storm warning at

Ex-Judge Of Superior Court Wift
Be In The Congressional
Race.
MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Is A
Man Of Marked
And Sterling Char
acter. Ability
The announcement of Judge O. H.
Guion which will be found elsewhere
in this issue of the Journal, will be read
with interest all over the State. Judge
Guion will be in the race for Congress
next year along with the several other
candidates and his friends believe
that he will be the victor.
Judge Guion is a man of marked abil
ity. A shining light in the legal profes
sion of the State and a gentleman ot
sterling character. It is at the request
of his numerous friends that he will
make the fight for election as Congress
man from this district.
Since his retirement from the Super
ior Court bench a few years ago Judge-
Guion has been associated with his sons
Rodman and John, in the law business
under the name of Guion and Guion.
His practice has been large and remu
nerative and it is by no means for mone
tary gain that he desires to represeat
this section in Congress, but on account.
of the fact that he believes h.: can be f
real worth to this district.
Congressman I'aison, the present,
incumbent: Charles R. Thomas and
George E. Hood, who will also be in the
race, will have an opponent worthy
of their bet efforts in Jik1'j;c Guio
and the coming light bids fair to be one
of the hardest waed ever muK" in this
section.
