ASE NOT U). 5. MEDIATION [3 AGCEPTED BY COSTA RIGA IN HOW OVER LAND Army Withdrawn From Territory in Dispute; Panama “Pained” Request of Hughes (Bulletin) Costa Rica, March 7. (By the Associated Press)—(Pan- ama-Costa-Rica}—An armistice be- tween Panama and Costa Rica and Tima settlement vf the boundaries question is being negotiated thrn mediation of the United States gov- ernment, it was announced here to- day. Investigation : of Louis Failer cab driver, at Five-Mile draw two remarkable coincidences: two crimes almost ide: 1 in Second, that two c: have been committed at spot. In all three crimes soldiers from Fort Russell were the assailants. In all three the motive was the same— robbery to secure money to” finance, and an automobile in which to make flight with intention to desert from the United States army. The first remarkable coincidence was provided by Failer’s two experi- ences with thieves—the first all but fatal to him. the second ending his life. On July 16, 1920, he was attack- ed by three soldiers—Wayne. Harrop, Milford 8. Kargus and Thomas V. Carroll—who had arranged with him to drive them into the country. ‘They slugged him with an iron bar, robbed him, threw his supposedly lifeless body into a ditch and fledin his auto- mobile—to be captured 24 hours later within 150 miles of the scene of the assault after having driven more than 500 miles in their effort to escape. Failer, barely alive, was discovered by @ passer-by, recovered and was the prosecuting witness when his assail- ants were brought to trial. The sol- diers went to the penitentiary and are still there. The second remarkable coincidence was provided by the murder of Fail- er and the murder of Gust Kindaks un December 7,/1917. Kindaks, a taxicab driver, was murdered at the identical spot at which Failer ‘met death under almost identical ¢ireum- stances. He had been engaged” by William L. Brown and W. J.

The Vigilance of the Colorado of; ficers, however, did not prevent the murderers from reaching Denver and there ridding themselves of the tell- tale automobile. Failer was shot twice, once through the body an inch above the right groin and one through the head, from front to back, The bullet that pierced his body emerged at the back and was lost. The ball that plowed thru his brain lodged beneath the skin be- hind his left'ear, It is of .45 calibre, steel-jacketed—the type used in army automatic pistols—and fits a shell picked up beside Failer’s body.

Failer }was not slain while the taxicab was as was at first assumed, jbut was killed after he had been 4 duced by some pretext to stop and ‘descend from the machine, possibly im pursuance, of a deliberately reasoned plan to avoid staining the automobile | with blood. It is believed that one of his two passengers shot him thiough the body and that as he fell the other fired the ball that entered his head and instantly terminated life.

Failer is believed to have been car- rying about $40 or $50. This was stolen by the murderers. ‘PHOTOGRAPHER BRUISED IN ACCIDENT WITH GAR ‘Ww. J.

GAREY Action of State Executive in Overruling Legislative Act Accompanied by Long Explanation CHEYENNE, Marchh 7.—No act of Governor Robert D, Carey’s during his two years as chief execltive of Wyom- ing has caused more comment in the capital than his veto Saturday of Senate File 36, the act of the last) legis- lature designed to repeal the statute forbidding the use of natural gas from a field within ten miles of an incor- porated town or ap industrial plant in the production of carbon black. Governor Carey’s veto message was extremely lengthy and said in part: “It is my desire as well as that of others that some provision be made whereeby the plant of the Midland Carbon company at Cowley could con- tinue in operation, obtaining their gas from some other field without the ten- mile limit, I believe that this plant can be continued in operation under the law passed by the Fifteenth legis- lature as well as they could operate under this new act, as the present law relates only to the source of supply and by going without the ten-mile limit it would not be illegal for them to operate. “Further, I do not believe that the enactment of the new law would either encourage the manufacture of carbon black in the state, or that it would conserve natural gas any more than the law which we already have upon the statutes. r. and Mrs. Roy Wilson of Arminto are spending this week in the city Visiting with friends. —— Henderson has returned to ter visiting with her M he 2 OW. home here in Lusk Adams busitiess interests here hi S re NOTICE Cleaners and Pressers Please do not send any more commit- tees to me asking why I have cut the price OF CLEANING AND PRESSING and myself. turned to Lusk, his heagquarters, Yours, Men’s Suits to $1.50 I manage my stores to please the public For Lower Prices.
