cHAZAL's CASE.
1t Is Still Raising Considerable of a
Rumpus in Chicago.


CHICAGO, April I'm spite of the
verdict of the coroners jury on Tues
day the friends of Chazal, the French
man who disappeared from Salt Lake
City, believe they can soon prove the
body in the box to be his. One of the
Frenchman's friends, Marcel, APP
reared in court this morning and made
strong plea for an injunction to keep
the body in Chicago until it can be
definitely proved it is not Chazars
One reason why such strenuous at
tempts are being made to prove the
body to be Chazaps is said to be the
wealth he is possessed of When he
disappeared he left over $1,000 in cash
behind him on deposit in the Deseret
National bank at Salt Lake. This
money is still held for proof of his
death. Chazal was also possessed of a
good deal of property in France. Since
his disappearance, three years ago, a
wealthy relative, who lived near Ly-
ons, France, died and left Chazal a
large fortune. All this wealth is tied
