A posse consisting of Deputy United States Marshal John Secriat, Albert Thayer, special agent of the depart. ment of justice, army intelligence of. ficers and deputy sheriffs, located the men’s shack but when they ar rived the bandita were gone. A jall prisoner said to have con- teased to being a member of the gang, was taken from the county jall to show the officers the way to the hiding place. He warned them that the gang had a large quantity ot army rifles, pistols and ammuni- tion stolen from Camp Lewis, and that they would not be captured without @ fight. When 'the officers arrived at the! deserted shack they found no stolen | goods of any kind. The gang evi-| dently had disposed of its stock and moved. The head of the bandit gang is in Jail in British Columbia on a charse| of murtler. According to Burt, he is the man who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Robert C. Scott and then murdered Elmer Cady, member of his own gang, in Seattle several months ago after a series of automo. bile robberies. SEEK BERGDOLL SOUTH OF CITY Kent Man Believes He Saw Fugitive A man believed to be Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy — draft evader, is being trailed south of Seattle by federal operatives Thurs day, following the report that he was seen passing thru Kent by auto Tuesday night. According to Sam Pinckerton, employe of the Kent Motor Car garage, two men drove up in a Hudson supersix about 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, and asked for gasoline None was to be had, and they drove south after inquiring the way to Tacoma. “Somehow the driver of the car seemed familiar to me,” says Pinck erton. “I could not place him at first. Then I remembered the pic- tures of Bergdoll in the papers.” TOO DARK TO NOTICE SCARS Pinckerton declares that the driv er tallied in every particular with the descriptions of Bergdoll, except for the two scars on the right side of his face, which would have been impossible to see tn the dusk “One thing that attracted my at tention was the fact that he wore @ mustache that evidently was a false one. He was nervous an® seemed to have difficulty in keeping the mustache in place, patting and stroking it constantly. He wore no glasses. He was heavy set, dirk! complexiongd, and spoke with a pro- nounced foreign accent. In fact, T) placed him at once as a German. He looked it.” COMPANION MAY BE IKE STECKER The car was a Hudson super-six, model 1918, says Pinckerton, The man was an expert driver, Pinckerton says that he paid lit- tle attention to" the second man in the car except to notice that he| was a bigger man than the suspect, | and smooth shaven.

Announcement that Cantu’s an- thority was to be questioned by force of arts came as @ surprise along the border. The federal government's action follows a dispute between President De La Huerta and Gov. Cantu over the control the tate. Cantu, |from the closed waters surrounding “declined” to resign. According to word recetved here, De La Huerta had agreed to leave Cantu in the position “for the pres ent.” When the present Mexican admin- istration captured Mexico City and Carranda fled, tt was understood that | Gov. Cantu would be left alone. Even when Baldomero Almada was made governor of Lower California, the ani ment wae not taken se- riously. ntu had reigned supreme in Lower California, and isolation seemed to make a serious attempt at a military expedition against him im- possible, FAILURE TO OBEY LAWS IS CHARGE laws is given by representatives of the de facto government here as the reason for the effort to depose Cantu. But close observers along the in. ternational line point to the valuable cotton-growing region of the Mexi can Imperial valley, the fisheries off the Lower California coast, the graz- ing lands and the mineral deposits as something of & magnet to draw at- tention from Mexico City. Cantu’s reign has Deen one that reads like fiction, Shortly after the first Madero revolution a party of American and European communists —_ entered Lower California to. establish the modern Utopia. For a few months they held sway, with no laws, no money and “on: the theory that everything belonged to everybody. The Mexican government sent Cantu with about 300 men to con- quer the country. At his approach the communists fled across the in- ternational line. Cantu went to bed @ victorious colonel one night. The hext morn. ing he awoke no longer colonel but governor. Since then his power never has been questioned. He has collécted taxes, made and enforced Jaws and dictated practically every. thing within the confines of Lower California. Cantu is reputed to have waxed wealthy. Gambling houses and similar concessions at Tia Juana and Mexicali have paid him big revenues for the right to continue business, “NO REBELLION,” CANTU DECLARES Gov, Cantu today reiterated his statement that the government of Lower ‘Galifornia. is not revolting against the Mexican provisional gov- ernment, “There is no rebellion against the federal govertiment on my part or by any of my people,” Cantu's state ment sald, “The provisional government has acted in very bad faith in sending this expedition against the northern district.” Troops leaving Manzanillo yester- day cannot reach Ensenada within seven or eight days, Cantu believed today, Those reported leaving Guay- mas might reach @ point on the Gulf vast within four or five days, {t was | thought, The federal troops were sald to be principally Yaqui Indians, Gov. Can- ‘tu said he had been informed by rep- |resentatives in Manzanillo, : Cantu's standing army numbered about 3,00@ men about five years ago, |Field artillery and machine guns were included in the equipment.
