Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 21. Governor
Spry today conferred with , Adjutant
General Edgewood and Sheriff Sharp

to call out the troops except as a last
resort. It is feared their presence
would make trouble.. Twenty-five

there. ,
Sheriff Sharp was given the respon
slbillty of preserving peace. Besides
300 deputies at Bingham he has 15 men
at Barney, six miles from Bingham to
preserve order there. This morning
the sheriff's deputies entered the work
ings of the mines without molestation
from the workers' pickets who are en
trenched on the mountainside. Later
they prepared, evidently to keep their
promise to Governor Spry that they
would not start shooting.
