Friends here also state that they left Thursday night on No. 30. Bower has a father, Hiram Bow- er of 131 Hill street, Lansing, Mich.. and Goke has a sister residing at Platteville, Wis. The home ad- dresses of the men themselves have not been obtained. J. P, Jensen, 52, formerly of Bots Idaho, and more recently of Glen- rock, Wyo., where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs, Thomas Cot- ter, today was definitely added to the list of missing. Mr. Jensen came to Casper Thursday to attend @ meeting of the carpenters’ union, and, according to friends here, jook the train to Glenrock that night. When reports of the wreck reached Glenrock, his son-in-law started to Casper immediately and confirmed fears that Mr. Jensen, had been on the ill-fated train, Jensen was employed as « carpen- ter on the new school building at Glenrock. PIECE OF CAR IS FOUND AT DOUGLAS. Apparent confirmation of the be- Nef that the smoking car of the wrecked train was badly demolish- ed is contained in the report from Douglas that a plece of one side of the coach had been washed up by the Platte river on the edge of the state fair grounds, more than 35 miles below the wreck. The smoker, in which the largest number of wreck victims was trapped, is still buried in sand be- neath a baggage car. Railroad men believe many of the bodies have also been washed down stream. 150-TON CRANE ARRIVES TODAY. A fresh complement of bridge workers and a 150-ton crane arrived on the east bank of the wreck early this morning from Alllance, Neb., after having been delayed by a wash- out at Sand Creek. necessitating the building of a bridge before it could continue. The crane will be avail- able to assist in lifting cars from the east side and the work of mov- ing the wreckage probably will be facilitated to a marked degree. It wae announced from the scene of the wreck at 2:30 o'clock this a! ternoon that the combined pull of a locomotive, drawing on block and tackle, was unable to move the chair car. The hoisting strength, togeth er with the engine pull and the weight of the chair car above the fulcrum was estimated at 650,000 pounds. In the face of this handicap {t was decided to continue work on fhe new Cole Creek bridge from both ends. When this is completed it will enable the company to place the 65- ton crane on the bridge directly over the chaircar and move the 150-ton crane to the track in the creel bed where its hoisting power can be exerted to better advantage. With the ald of the engine it may then be possible to move the car. The failure of equipment today to meet the emergorcy means that the wrecking work will be delayed furth- er. VICE AT WRECK SCENE EB. P. Bracken, vice president of the operating department of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail- road arrived Monday at the scene of the wreck from Chicago and re- mained throughout the night. As intervals he dictated letters and messages as he looked on at the ef- forts of workmen to recover bodies. “You people already know more about this than I do,” was his re mark when the disaster was men- tioned. He declined an interview in connection with it on this ground. Mr. Bracken stated that he prob- ably would make an Inspection of the flood situation in Wyoming be- fore leaving, and on this trip, which will include the district west and north of here, probably will be ac- companied by General Manager E. Fiynn and other officials, including J. C. Grissinger, division superin- tendent. Just now, however, major BUNCO TRAILER [a TAKING REST (Continued from Page One.) ‘The United States government ac- cording to detectives has refused to give Spencer up until after he tried on the narcotic charges. Nor- fleet has not indicated what his action will be, He intimated, how- ever, that the result of the govérn- ment trial would have considerable weight with his particular case against Spencer, Trial for Spencer has not been set. In the meantime, he is confined to the county jail in Mea of $5,000 bond. He gave his age as 32 at the time of his arrest. Norfleet will remain in Salt Lake City two or three days before going to his home in Texas. With the arrest of Spencer, Nor- fleet closes a story which had its most exciting chapter tn Denver when more than thirty men were arrested. District Attorney Van Cise of Den- ver with Norfleet's aid, secured 20 convictions, resulting from the fa- mous raid. ineteen, including Lou Blonger, alleged brains of the gang, and A. W. Duff, his “first Meutenant,” were sentenced to the Colorado state prison for breaking the lays of the state of Colorado. Norfieet stated at the time that he would not rest unt!) he had placed the last of the gang bebind ~— interest {s centered tn clearing away the wreck at Cole creek. He looked on quietly as toflers slaved to clean out Pullman No. 19 and concentrated work on the re- moval of the chair car. Becausd the quicksands kept drifting back as fast as removed from around the end of the chair car it was neces; sary to rip rap the sand banks. This was accomplished bs the use of double rows of plank stakes which finally succeeded. SUCTION HOLDS CAR IN SAND So high had the end of the chair car been raised by the wrecking train that it appeared an easy task to raise it out of the sand by the use of the weight of the upturned end working on a fulerum. The track on which the wrecker stood was swung around to a point direct- ly opposite the imbedded end but de- spite the fact that the entire force of the 65-ton crane was exerted, coupl- ed with the force of an engine pull- ing down on the upturned end by means of a double block and tackle, the car withstood all efforts and could not be budged. It was then that a new large capa- city pump rushed from Casper was installed to pump out the end of the car and thus lighten the weight of sand and water, PULLMAN LUGGAGE IS REMOVED ~ Luggage belonging to many occu- pants of Pullman 19 was recovered Yesterday, including Henry Wyatt's srip. Mr. Wyatt, it will be recalled narrowly escaped death, having just walked back from the smoking com- partment of the car when the wreck occurred. Had he remained in the smoker he would have shared the same fate as R. T. Glerhart, M. Montgomery and others whose bodies have not been recovered. A pocketbook belonging to Ernest P. Kipp, Denver, was taken from the car. It contained $45 and a check for $1,116. Numerous other articles were found. Sodden seats and clothing found in the car were as heavy as lead. It often required the combined ef- forts of two or three men to drag out one cushion or coat. Traveling bags belonging to M. D. Montgomery and R. I. Gterhart, both of Denver were found. A fragment of the coat worn by Conductor J. W. Goff of Casper, was picked up in the wreckage of tho smoking car. LANDER, Wyo., Oct. 2.—Miss Ella Seales, whose body was reported found today in a wrecked Burling. ton chair car in Cole creek. had been employed at tho Carr restaurant in Lander during the past three or four years. She left here last week to visit in Laramfe. According to friends here Miss Seales’ family lives somewhere in Kansas or Ne- braska.

Discussfon was warm on the mat- ter of waiting a few years before such a project should be started or on starting it in the near future. The question of the tex burden that would attend the erection of a half million or 4 million dollar building was the point at argument. A. H. Cobb, attorney, presented a sketch of the present court house if {t were improved along the plans, he, suggested. It would include a’ wing on each side and might cost about $100,000. The answer to his proposal was made by R. 8S. Ellison who felt that this would be too much for a temporary addition. Charles Anda in bringing out the great taxes that are increasing yearly in Casper presented the fo!- lowing figures on tax increase which he obtained from selecting 15 typl- cal residences and 5 unimproved bus- iness propertle: Average Taxes on 15 Residences: 1904 1913 1923 Taxes --~ 36.40 59.07 444.88 Increase --.... —— 62% 653% Increase per annum., —— 1% . 65.8% Average Taxes on 5 Business Properties 1904 1913 1923 Properties -.. $2.82 155.50 1071.36 Increase - —— 88% 885% Increase per annum-. —— 98% 88.5% Others who discussed the matter were Sam Conwell, George B.

A report from the Midwest office in Casper this afternoon was to the effect that the company ex- pects to have its Pump Station No, 1 cleaned out sufficiently eo that 45,- 060 barrels of ofl might be running to Casper this evening. A report to the effect that this station was practically ruined is eald to have been erroneous. The bases are of concrete, and’ although water cov- ered the pumps to the depth of sev- on feet, the repalr work is largely a work of cleaning out the sand and debris. Together with the Sinclair Purchasing company’s line at ‘Tea- pot, the company expects that by to- morrow the pumps will be running at a capacity of 60,000 barrels a day into Casper.

But five of the seventy-seven counties com- prising Oklahoma have a'gnified that they will obey the governor's com: mand to prevent the election, by force of arms if necessary, on grounds that it will be illegal. Arrayed against the executive are rulings of the state supreme court. the attorney general's department and the state election board. These held in effect that once called, no man has the power to prevent an election. Upon this authority, the attorney general based his orders which were telegraphed all county officials, in structing them to use every means to protect the voters, To officials in the five counties, and others, W. A. McAlister, secre- tary of the state election board dis- patched a warning early today that any persons who interfers with an e'ection is subject to imprisonment. Those who attempt to obstruct tho election will be vigorously prose- cuted, he declared, “No man, not even the governor, can prevent an election.” secretary McAlister asserted. Despite the warning, however, George D. Key, chairman of the Oklahoma county election board, re ported that numerous election offi. clals have been threatened fn an- nonymous telephone calls and m sages. In Oklahoma City, where 4,000 cit- fzens with special commissions wait- ed on call to ald election officers, a woman, {n whose home the ballot box for a townsh!p is placed, was warned by an unsigned letter to that box out of your house by morn- Ing or something will happen.” In no case, it was said, have the threats been noticed. A clash narrowly was avoided at ‘Tecumseh late last night when Sher. iff Butter of Pottawatomie county, with 125 deputies went to t house to obtain the ballot boxes for delivery to election officials. Ho was met at the entrance by sixty armed men sald to have been acting under orders of the county attorney, who declared they had been tn structed to shoot to kill any ona who attempted to touch the election sup pifes. The sheriff went tmmediately he- fore district Judge Hal Johnson at Chandler and obtained an injunction restraining any interference with the election.
