alton than any other class OF property.
they should be reduced at least 10 per

THREE MURDERS IN UTAH,
Bodies Are Found in a Lake
Near Lehi by Parties Who
Were Searching.
The Men Have Been Missing Since
Early In February and We're
Killed Then.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April 21.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
three young men who lived in the vicinity
of Utah Lake, near Lehi, Utah, is gradually
being cleared up.
Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and AL
fred Nelson, had been living near
Pelican Point for some time, but were
| elected about two months ago on a suit
| brought by Oliver A. Slade. The mer
were missed some time ago, and on Mon
day last the body of Hayes was found neal
| the lake shore. Death had been caused by
| two gunshot wounds. Late yesterday aft
ernoon the bodies of Johnson and Nelson
| were found. They were discovered in the
lake, on wagon and were tied down with
ropes.
| The bodies presented sickening ap-
pearance. The murders probably occurred
| in February. The murdered men were all
cousins and were running a stock business
on the ranch.
| The theory is that the men were mur-
dered in the cabin during the night and
thrown into the lake, as the bodies were
partly undressed when found. The gun
shot wounds appear to have been made
with 44-caliber rifle.
Suspicion, it is said, points to III. Hayes,
the stepfather of one of the murdered men,
and son of his who is missing. Other
theories are advanced, but have no motive
to support them.
The country surrounding the ranch is
wild and broken, and has been the scene
of many tragedies between the Indians
and early settlers.
The Coroner's jury examined the bodies
to-day and will continue the investigation
at Lehi tomorrow. The excitement runs
high, especially among ranchmen in the
vicinity of the murders. Some arrests are
expected tomorrow.

Masked Men Board Streetcar and Rob
the Conductor.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 21.-Two
masked men boarded a streetcar at
Twentieth and streets tonight, and with
drawn pistols compelled the conductor
and a passenger to give up what money
they had in their possession. They OBJ
tanned $23 from the conductor and "a from
the passenger, man named Devine.
C. E. Catlett, the conductor in charge of
the car, states that when the larger of the
two men stepped on the car he drew a
dark mask down over his face and ordered
him. to throw up his hands. Then the
smaller man jumped onto the car, with a
Smith & Wesson revolver in his hand, and
kept pointing it first at the passengers and
then at the conductor, while the tall foot
pad made a thorough search of their
pockets. When they left the car the con-
ductor was ordered to move on, and as
soon as this was done the ROBBERS disap-
peared.
As soon as word of the robbery was re-
ceived at the police station the patrol
wagon with several officers was dispatched
to the locality, but no trace of the robbers
has been found.

a. aUGyu,Gn to Flight.
+ LOS ANGELES, Call, April 21.-A bold
7 robbery was attempted about IL o'clock
tonight at the power-house Of the Los
ylAngeles Cable Company at the corner of
! Seventh street and Grand avenue. The
cashier was busy counting up the day S
.Teceipts, amounting in all to about $500.
HE was startled at seeing a masked man
.peering through the little gate-window
hthrough which the conductors turn in
their fares.
At first he thought it was one of the en-
ployes playing fiesta joke, but this theory
was soon dispelled. The masked man
pushed a loaded revolver through the
little open window, and then passed
through an empty shot bag. He
ordered the cashier to fill the bag with the
money he had before him.
But the cashier was man of nerve and
equal TO the emergency.
He pretended to take the empty sack as
though responding to the robbers request,
but with one hand he pulled loaded Ie-
volver from a drawer and before the thief
realized the situation he was looking down
the muzzle of it. The sight of that revol-
yer convinced the robber that he could do
without the coin, and he made wild dash
for the door. A policeman was promptly
summoned, but he arrived too late to catch
the escaping highwayman.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, April 21.-
Deputy Sheriff Tom Drum is circulating a
petition along the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad to the Secretary of the Interior to
suppress Indian wanderers from the reser-
vations OF Northern Arizona. 1t is claimed
that the red men are devastating that part
of the country of game in direct violation
of the laws of the Territory and with the
consent of the Indian agent.
One instance is cited where a party of
Navajoes went into the Mogollon Mount
aims last November and remained until
January, killing 376 deer, III turkeys and
an untold amount of small game. The
petition further states that when game is
scarce the Indians do not hesitate to ap-
propriate ranch cattle.

that very lively state of affairs existed at

well armed. Many encounters have al
