Kills Countryman and Also Three
Deputy Sheriffs Sent to
Capture Him.
BINGHAM UTAH, Nov A
here*- battle is raging In an under
ground incline connecting the Minnie
and Utah Apex mines between the
deputy sheriffs and Raphael Lope/, I
the Mexican who killed a countryman j
in the Highland Boy mine a week ag<< I
and later murdered three deputy t
.■sheriffs who tried to capture him.
J. Douglas Hulsey, a deputy sher
iff, and Tom Manderich, an Austrian j
miner, members of a j-osse that en- j
tered the Andy tunnel this afternoon
In an effort to capture Lopez, are
dead or seriously wounded as a result I
of the battle, and Bi eogl
neer of the hoist along the Incline, is
missing.
The Mexican, hemmed in by dense
smoke in the rear, is firing at every
shadow along the passageway ir
front. A rescue party \\ ith steel
p ate* it pn paring , * er t be
bodies of Hulsey and Marnier i« h, aft
er which another attempt will be i
made to smoke Lopez out of the pas- j
sage. It was while preparing a I
smudge to effectively block up the
passageway that the two men were
shot. Lopez is well supplied with am
munition.
Raw War Threatened.
There is much excitement to-night
in Bingham. A race war is threat
ened between the Mexicans and Aus
trians in the camp as a result of the
shooting of Manderich Sheriff Smith
ha* ordered all Mexicans to keep in
side their cabins. Three automobiles
filled with deputy sheriffs were rush
ed here to-night from Salt Lake in
anticipation of trouble.
The posse, headed by Sheriff Al
iens, of Tooele County, entered the
Andy tunnel on the 300-foot level of
the Utah Apex mine this afternoon
for the purpose of constructing
smudges at the foot of an incline
connecting the Minnie and Andy tun
nels. A smudge of burning sulphur
previously had been constructed at
the mouth of the Minnie tunnel.
The posse had reached the incline
and had proceeded upward but a short
distance when three shots were fired.
Hulsey, Dr. Ray and Tom Manderich
were somewhat apart from the oth
ers, and were preparing to light a
fire to start the smudges. Hulsey
and the Austrian fell with the first
two, the. third whistling past Dr. Ray
The latter said that Hulsey groaned
once or twice and then lay still. The
Austrian never uttered a sound.
Fear to Return Fire.
The balance of the posse rushed to
the mouth of the Incline, but were
afraid to at once return the Mexican’s
fire because of the probability of bit
ting their companions, whose injury
they feared, but were not sure of.
The killing or fatal injury of Hul
sey and the Austrian has effectively
prevented the building of smudges,
because it is feared that if the two
men are not dead the fumes from the
smudges ascending to the Minnie tun
nel through the incline would surely
be fatal.
A guard was placed at the foot of
the incline to prevent the descent of
the Mexican. The poisonous fumes
In the Minnie tunnel above him pre
vent escape in that direction.

OFFERED FO QUIT FAX EQUALIZATION
Big Sensation Sprung in Macon Judge Hart Returns From Trip
by Publication of Letter by Over State—Tells How the
Smith’s Supporters.
Law Works.
MACON, Nov. 2f».—A! J. Smith,
who withdraw his candidacy for the
office of Chief of Police a few hours
before his election was s- heduled to
take place last Tuesday night, wrote
the letter of withdrawal only because
it was disclosed that he had offt red
to “sell out” to the “whisky inter
ests” of Macon for JIG 000. This fact
is made public to-day in a statement
signed by five men who have been
Smith’s closest friends and support
ers, three of them being J ' i*rinen.
Smith, an engineer of the Georgia
•Southern and Florida Railroad and
a prominent church worker of Macon ,
and Valdosta, had been indorsed by
the Law Enforcement League for the
office. He was assured of eight of the
twelve Aldennnnic votes, and his elec- ;
tion was conceded, although some
men opposed to the law and order
crusade exerted every effort to beat
i him.
Alderman Traps Smith.
Five hours before Council was due
to meet Smith went to Alderman R
C. Hazlehurst, one of the four op
posing him and one of the two ‘'ad
ministration'’ Aldermen in Council.
He proposed to Captain H^zlehurst to
decline the Chief's yfiice if the saloon-
men of the city would give him a sum
not less than $10,000. Hazlehurst
| agreed to take the proposition under
advisement and to let Smith know at
7 o’clock, Instead he sought out Al
dermen Pittman and Riley and com
municated the facts to them. The
three confronted Smith at 7 o'clock, '
an hour before Council meeting, and
he finally admitted the facts*. He then
, signed the letter withdrawing his can
didacy.
Smith's Friends Investigate.
Because reports contrary to thasu
I facts had been circulated, seven
: friends of Smith, including four Al
dermen. held an investigation yester
day afternoon. Smith appeared before
them and again acknowledged the
I facts.
“I don’t think it would be wrong to
take money for retiring^, from the
race.” he deciart d, “but. of course. T
would not have sold out to anybody
after taking the oath of office.”
Smith at first insisted that he was
! only seeking to entrap Alderman 11a- J
zlehurst, whom he believed to repre- I
i sent the "liquor interests.” In the
statement given to the public to-day
by Smith’s friends w r ho conducted the
investigation Alderman Hazleflurst :s
l “heartily commended for rendering a
Judge John C. Hart, State Tax
Commissioner, who has been tour
ing the State explaining the purposes
and operation of the new tax equali
zation law. believes the administra
tion of the same will be a complete
success, and says that the only thin®
remaining to be done is the creation
by the various County Commission
ers of local tax equalization be ( rds
compose ! oft he right sort of men.
Judge Hart makes the astonishing
statement that not more than ore-
seventh of the taxable property of
Georgia re-.illy is returned for taxa
tion, and he expects the new law to
bring hundreds of thousnnd? of dol
lars in hidden property to light.
Hart D<scusses the Law.
Discussing the new law Saturday,
Judge Hart said:
“The success or failure of the new
law depend? largely upon the class cf
men named by the county authorities
on the various county boards. That
mut er is now of supreme importance,
and I think it is working out right.
“It the law is properly ‘adminis
tered. instead of Its increasing the
burden of taxation, it will lower it on
the man who has been doing even
approximately his duty. As is known,
or at least should be known, by
everyone, the State can not raise its
rate, for since the year 1907 it ha?
been levying the full Constitutional
rate, to-wit, 5 mills. The State can
levy no additional tax, and this rat*
has not raised sufficient revenue to
pay the State’s current expenses. The
deficit has grown until it has reached
a million dollars and over.
Sees Chance to Pay Debt.
“I made the statement advisedly,
after careful investigation, that not
exceeding one-seventh of the prop
erty value of the State is on the tax
digest. If all of the property of the
State were put on the digest, where it
properly belongs, and placed ther* at
a fair valuation, the State of Georgia
could pay her debt next year and the
tax rate could be materially reduced.
“Fair valuation of property, with a
low rate of interest, is infinitely pref
erable to a low valuation of property
and a high tax rate. The new law is
designed to place upon the tax di
gest all of the property of the State,
and then as among the taxpayers to
equalize property values relatively, to
that each man carries his exact bur
den This is the essence of Justice ”

The affair has caused a genuine
j sensation in Macon.
$3,500 FOR GIRL'S LEG.
I CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—The Chicago
Railways Company has been ordered
to pay $3,500 for cutting off the right
leg of Bernadette Crowell. The child
is 12 years old now. She was 9 when
she *lost her leg. The 3-vear interval
has been consumed in the legal bal-
1 tie for damages.
Two juries voted 11 to 1 in each
j case in favor of assessing damages
from $10,000 to $15,000. In the first
trial the solitary juror held out un
til a disagreement was reported. In
the second trial recently the solitary
juror held out until he induced the
other eleven to reduce their estimate
of a right leg's value to $3,600.
Bernadette is the daughter of Mrs.
Margaret Orow’ell and Mrs. Crowell is
the widow of a city fireman who lost
his life four years ago when fighting
a fire.
