Salt Lake City, March zS-The dis
cOvery of corpse in a trunk at Chi
cago, and 1t having been ascertained
from the books of the railroad company
that the box was shipped from Salt Lake
City, recalls the sudden disappearance
of Prosser Chazzell about the date of
shipment.
Chazzel came to Salt Lake about
three weeks before the date of his dis
appearance. He had been to the dia-
mond mines in South Africa, and when
here carried about with him $4,000 or
$4,000 worth Of diamonds and jewelry.
A woman, also French, whom he called
his wife, accompanied him to the city.
lie was we'll educated and dressed like a
gentleman, while she was type of the
French courtesan. Still she seemed
devoted to him, and grieved Aoticeably
over his disappearance. The day he
dropped out of sight he had an agree
ment to dine with her at o'clock, and
when he failed to keep 1t, she grew
alarmed. 1t was next day, however, be-
fore she reported the matter to the
police, when she did everything, appar-
emily, to help the officers trace him.
Not clue was ever found A week
later the woman left for Paris, where
she is still supposed to be living. She
gave II out that she thought he had
gone there, and intended to follow him.
She afterwards wrote to Frenchman,
named Leon, here, asking him to go to
the Deseret bank and draw the money
left there by Chazzell, about $2.Soo.
Leon attempted to do so, but the bank
officials refused to pay 1t, and the
deposit Is there yet. Besides this, Chaz-
zell had safety deposit box In the Utah
jewels. When 1t was opened after his
disappearance, by order of the court,
only few stones and some pieces of
French money were found. The officers
believed the men who made away with
him got access to the box and nabbed 1t
of most of its contents.

Pixies Peak over the cog road as the guests
of the local union. A session was held on
the summit, 14.0OO feet high. and resolu-
tions adopted thanking the citizens for
their courtesy. Some of the delegates had
an exciting experience, as an engine on
one of the cars blew out a cylinder and
the car started down the track. 1t was
quickly checked, but a number had to
walk down, as the car was disabled. They
were then further delayed by streetcar
accident.
At o'clock the members were enter

A session was held this evening at which
nominations were made for the officers to

dates are nominated, and struggle will

three was appointed to draft resolutions
