OFFICERS ON HUNT FOR A real search is expected late this afternoon when combined authorities from Natrona and Carbon counties raid.a widely known still hidden away on Canyon Creek, just over the Car- bon county border. Deputy Sheriff John Powert, State Prohilition Officer, Ben Hewitt and Assistant Game Warden, R. B. Me- Cullough left Casper this forenoon, planning to arrive at Alcova about noon, where they were scheduled to festa posse fram Carbon county border. Natrona authorities are assisting in the raid, because of the fact that the still is s0 close to the county line, that Natrona sheepherders are affect- ed by it, Sheriff Marquis was inform- ed some time ago as to the location of the still, and consequently it was necessary to send a posse from here to lead the way. COTTER BOUND OVER R. T. Cotter was boand over to the district court yesterdiiy on a charge of bootlegging. Cotter is said to be the unfortunate victim of a fire in his thome fn the North Burlington, said | fire to have revealed various apparat for making moonshine. Jack Garnell has also been bound over to the district “court on a boot legging charge. ‘VAN HOVEL CASE: THROWN OUT OF POLIGE COURT ‘The case of John Van Hovel, cited | STILL ON COUNTY LINE (Continued from Pars One) indignation meeting of mincrs was’ held the day before the fight!ne start ©1 and even after thy miners had marched on the mine, He also had Deen instructed, it wat understood, to learn why Sheriff Traxton had ig- nored Colonel Hunter’s request that some special preparations for an emergency be made. Failure of local officials to send out enoug" deputies the night the fighting Degan.and during the foliowing day when. almost unheavd of deeds of cruelty and brutality were committed also was a point to be investigated. Another matter to be looked into was why numerous requests from the governor for {.formation after the trouble started were ignored by coum ty authorities and why, when he was receiving scores of telegrams from private citizens telling of the outrages, he was continually informed by the authorities that the situation “was well in hand” and that the troops were pot needed. ‘There was little doubt that the board would not receive a cor- @ial welcome from the county as a whole. Ninety per cent miners in ulation and 100 per cent untont Williamson county has shown 2 decid- ed disinclination to welcome any out- side interference in the massacre, which is looked on as a personal affair to be ignorsd by the rest of the world. Persons on the street have been heard repeatedly to remark that if troops had been sent there guns would have been taken away from them.

General Foreman looked over the wreckage of the mine, where a car of coal was still burning on a siding. Kyom the ruined. mine the commis- sion was guided by Colonel Hunter down the road of death where 48 hours ago the victorious mob which stormed the mine dragged tts prisoners for two miles and a half before they were shot. Berry pickers were coming up the @usty road this morning. ‘The commission was shown the place where C. K. McDowell, superintendent of the Lester mine, was clubbed to death with revolvers, because, hamp- ered by a wooden leg, he ceuld not keep up with the marchers. They saw the woods where the bulk of the pris- oners were slain. The commission is now-in seasion here and mine officials and peace of- ficers of WilHamson county are being questioned regarding events leading up to the outbreak.

T pre dict that there will be no punishment for these outrages. There will be a grand jury, but on {t will be bosiness men who fear a boycott of devel ness and men who seek election.

If the government tn- tervenes {t is sure to result in a patched up peace and further out- breaks later.” Recalling past strikes and settle: ments, Senator Myers said thet if the states would protect men who desired to work and furntsh coal to the public the strike would be settled “in a natur- al course” and with beneficial results} to the country. 5 = oS — i) E S oe oO al == | STATE OFFICIAL BLAMES MINE OWNER.

He could not be found. For months the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives led.a search which was fruitless. The financier’s Fifth Avenue house in New York, was besieged by subpoena servers, detec- ‘tives, reporters and idle throngs for days; his residence at Tarrytown, N. {¥., the Standard Oil offices on Broad- way and his clubs, were watched ‘with- out avail. ‘When attorneys representing him subpoena for him, it developed that be was at Nassau, Bahama Islands, but his physicians-empbatically main- tained that to ask Mr. Rockefeller to answer questions on a witness stand was to invite his death.
