Is CRAWFORD DEAD?
The Strange Disappearance OF the
+ Wealthy Eich County Rancher.
= Receiver Appointed to Take Charge OF
the Estate, Which Is Estimated
at S150,O0o

OGDEN, March 29.-On January 26th
William Crawford, wealthy rancher Of
Rich county, Utah, drove into Evanston,
Wyo., behind a spanking team of horses,
hitched his animals in front of business
house with winch he always did business,
and mysteriously disappeared. Since
that time no trace of him has been found
and the heirs of the estate, Crawford's
friends and the officers are alike baffied
by the strange proceedings. Several
theories have been advanced as to the
csvse of his disappearance, but the one
which seems most feasible to his relatives
and friends is that he has been murdered
and his body thrown into a well or the
river. Crawford is said to have been very
fOnd of women and a flair one' may be
at the bottom of the affair.
Late last night Judge Miner at his hotel
IN Salt Lake, upon the application OF
Judge AIaginnis, attorney for Charles
Crawford, brother OF the missing man,
appointed Byron Sessions, OF Rich
county, receiver of the estate, with bonds
OF S75 900. Upon q conservative estimate
the estate, which includes a $3.50 acre
ranch on Bear River, 3, 200 head of cattle,
$40, 600 IN notes and judgements and 100
head of valuable horses, is valued at $780,
001- Some time ago an attachment upon
the property was issued out of the Third
district court at the suit of William
Thompson upon a promlssory note OF
50,000, but when the receiver has filed
his bond this attachment will be set aside,
and as soon as 1t has been proven that
Crawford is dead the estate Will be settled
by the court.
In addition to Thompson there are a
number of other large creditors. Charles
for
Conlzlin Mortgage Trust company one for
S., 200, and Robert Frost a mortgage of
$4,000 on the ranch.
There are a number of heirs to the es-
tate, some in California and some in Mis-
souri,. Crawford was never married.
GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE.
The parents of Charles Trusty, col
ored lad, today charged him with incor
rigibility in Commissioner Bishops court,
and asked that he be sent to the Reform
school. After examining several wit
nesses the judge decided to give the boy
another chance to live up to hisname and
ordered his release.
Peter Jackson, Joe Choynski, Parson
Davies, the bioodhounds, donkeys,
Markses, Topseys and the balance of the
''Uncle Toms Cabin'' combination
reached Ogden this morning and played
to good house tonight. Neither jack
son or the Parson had anything new to
tell the sporting fraternity. Somewhere
between here and New York they expect
to encounter the Corbett combination
and will try to arrange a match.
+. II. Sothern comes to the Grand to-
morrow night and, despite the business
done by Jackson, will draw a good house.
Ogden theatre goers are anxious to see
the great Sothern, of whom they have
heard so much.
