EXCITEMENT AT UINTAH.

Meanwhile all was excitement at the
little Uintah depot; men We're there,
but before any organized plan had
taken shape one of the two trampS
mentioned in yesterdays Herald came
to the depot and told them the robbers
were gone. The other tramp had gone
back to warn the conductor As stated
yesterday. these men were stealing a
ride in the tool chest of the baggage
car. 1t is thought that one of them
was mistaken for a second robber by
the mail clerk.
The two men were brought down to
Odgen and lodged in jail yesterday, to
be used. probably, as witnesses. They
told a straightforward story.
Meanwhile at Ogden the widest ru-
mors were rife. The special of Carrot
O'Neill with a posse hastily mustered
by the sheriff and chief of police, was
ready to so out, but fears that a fly
ing engine might wreck them held the
car back, and finally when accurate in
formation reached Ogden. O'Neill or
dered the train to pull into Ogden. A
special with about dozen officers and
a couple Of newspaper men pulled out
at just o'clock. AT Uintah a stop
was, made and the sheriff's party Sc
cured horses to scour the surrounding
country Going on up the canyon,
stops were made at the two watch
mems houses. One man said he had
heard horsemen clatter across the
wagon bridge at about midnight, but
the other had heard nothing that has
not since been explained.

THE FIRST CLUE.

At Morgan the first real clue was
obtained. 1t was there learned that
a man had been in Morgan the day
before about o'clock. He rode a dark
chestnut horse and led two others, a
roam and light bay. The latter two he
had shod, while he had the nails tight
ened on the shoes of his other horse
He ate dinner at the hotel, fed his own
horses at the barn and was very par
ticular about the shoeing. His actions
and equipment fits in with the theory
that the one or two bandits on the
train were to stop the train at DEVILS
Gate and be aided by another on horse
back both in plundering and escaping.
The explosion of the dynamite and, as
some say, the random firing of the
pistol by the rofber most in evidence
are thought to have been signals.
Chief Davenport left a man at Devils S
Gate and himself went from that point
up to Peterson awheel. boarding the
car on the return trip. Silvey and
Pender secured horses at Morgan and
worked down the canyon toward Og-
den. They were heard from at
O'Clock and had no clues. The sheriff's
party found no tangible clue at Dintah
and returned on O'Neill's car to fit out
for longer trip.
At noon a number of express ana
railway officials. together with Chief
Davenport, went to Uintah, where
they We're met by Sheriff Saunders
with the Davis county posse. There
were no clues up to this time.
Citizens of Uintah now remember sec
ing some suspicious characters about
the neighborhood the last few days.

SOME LATTER DAY CHURCH METHODS
OF Bringing the People Under the Infiu-
ence of the Gospel.

Ot Bringing the People Under the 4nhu-
ence of the Gospel.
The efforts of church workers to bring
increased numbers of people under the
influence of the preached gospel some
times, in these latter days, take rather
unusual avenues. There is 10 Chicago a
church saloon, in which only non-alco-
holic drinks are dispensed In Mime
apolis there is church without creed.
In st. Louis recently Clergyman delv-
cred a sermon to number of tiremen
while standing on pile of hosepipe coil
in his pulpit. In another city clergy
man pleaseda congregation # BARRIERS
by decorating his pulpit and chancel
with shaving mugs, razors and strops.
The military sermon has become CON-
mon; so to degree has become the BIZ
cycle sermon. A Chicago church last
week announced that after each service
during the warm weather cakes and iced
lemonade would be served in the lecture
room. In all of these instances the per-
sons to be reached are supposed to go to
hurch. In Brooklyn, however, a
church is to go after the souls to be saw
ed. A church is to be erected "at the
end of some pleasant bicycle run on
Long Island" at which riders of wheels
will be invited to congregate Sunday
mornings and afternoons and listen to
the divine word. While there may be
grounds for criticising these several
methods of attracting congregations, the
purpose is the uplifting of humanity.

they have no doubt that in some way the
Fair people learned of the transfer of the
will to be made at Chicago and arranged
to get possession of the will by having a
detective assume the part of Mulholland' $
friend. The production of the pencil will,
however, ebviated the necessity OF using
the INK document, so that paper was never
brought to light, they assert.
They say further that the reason for the
extraordinary course pursued by the Fair
heirs to secure possession of the ink will
was that they feared Mrs. Craven would
ask an extravagant price before she would
consent to produce it. Had there been no
pencil original the ink will, they say,
would have been produced by the other
side and its peculiar procuration treated
as good joke. AS things turned out,
however, there was no need, it is claimed,
for the Fair side to show their hand in the
matter at all.
Such is the history of the duplicate
wills, Mrs. Craven's notable trip to New
York and back and of the mysterious dis
appearance Of the ink will.

Hundreds of Tons of Prunes and
Apricots Hitherto Allowed
to Rot.
DIsTIIIERIEs IN OPERATION.
Probabilities Are That Nearly All Of
Them Will Now Run the Twelve
Months Through.

Every fruit-grower in the State, particu-
larly those in the central and northern
counties, are greatly elated over the open
ing OF another avenue of profit, the result
of a recent act of Congress changing the
laws governing the distilling of brandy
from fruit.
Under the old act only peaches, apples
and grapes were allowed to be distilled
Collector Welborn has received the follow
ing notice from the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue:
An act to amend section 3255 of the revised
statutes of the United States concerning the
distilling OF brandy from fruits:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, that section 3255 OF
the revised statutes of the United States be
and the same is hereby amended so as to read
as follows:
Section 3255. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue with the approval OF the Secretary
OF the Treasury, may exempt distillers of
brandies made exclusively from apples,
peaches, grapes, pineapples, oranges, apricots,
berries or prunes from any provision of this
title relating to the manufacture of spirits,
except as to the tax thereon, when in his
judgment it may seem eXpedient TO do So
Approved June 3 1896.
1t will be seen from the new law that
fruit-growers and distillers will be able to
convert into brandy almost any fruit
grown in the State. Heretofore in the
event of an extra heavy crop of apricots
or prunes the growers have been COM
PEELED to dry such as the short season
would permit, the remainder being al
lowed to rot. In this way hundreds and
thousands of pounds went to waste.
All this, of course, has been a dead loss
to the producer, and incidentally the dis
tilIer. Limited in their operations almost
entirely to apples and grapes, many dis
tillers have been forced to shut down at
least a portion of the year. 1t IS thought
now, however. that those in the central
and southern parts ofthe State will be able
to run the entire twelve months.
At present there are 119 distilleries in
active operation. Last year the output of
brandy in the First District amounted to
1,472, $50 gallons, and throughout the State
10 something over 4, ,0O9, 600 gallons. It is
thought that the new law will be the
means OF increasing the output from 25 to

THAT INK WILL.
How Its Mysterious Disappearance
Is Accounted For by the
Craven Side.


Mrs. Craven's partial story of the two
wills said to have been written in her
home at 2007 California street, on Septem-
Der "a, 1894, by Senator Fair-one in pencil
and one in ink-has whetted curiosity to
know what eventually became of the ink
will, which has gone mysteriously out of
sight.
The mystery is in part cleared away by
one who is familiar with the details of
Mrs. Craven's journey to and from New
York, and who related them yesterday to
CALL reporter.
Mrs. Craven started for New York on
February 25, 1895, to get the will of Sep
tember "a, 1894, which, with other docu-
ments concerning her relations with the
dead millionaire, she had sent to her
daughter Margaret, who was then on the
stage in New York. All these documents
were in one package, and no one, outside
of Mrs. Craven, at the time she left here
knew that there were duplicate wills-one
in ink and one in pencil She Travelled
East under the name of Mrs. j. S. Cameron.
Arrived at New York she was laid low
by la grippe. Meanwhile Reuben II. Lloyd
who was carrying on the negotiations
with Stephen Roberts for possession of the
had set the hearing for the probating of
the will of September 81, 1894. known as
the trust will, for March Is, 1895, and had
declared that no further continuance
would be conceded. 1t was therefore of
the utmost Importance to have the holo-
graphic will in court on that day, in order
to have proper grounds for contest to the
trust will. At Mr.. Lloyd's anxious solicita-
ton Roberts sent urgent kilograms to Mrs.
Craven TO BRING or send on the will
Against the orders of her physician
Mrs. Craven got up from her sickbed and
prepared to make the westward journey.
But she feared she would not be able to go
through on time, so she arranged with a
friend in New York named Mulholland to
have a friend of Mulholland's, named
Tichner, meet her at Chicago and take the
will on to San Francisco, in case she was
unable to proceed. The Chicago man was
to recognize her by handkerchief she
was to display on her bosom. She as
sumed the name of Mrs. Knox on her
westward trip. She forgot the prearranged
sign, but Tichner found her and asked her
if she was Mrs. Knox. On receiving an
affirmative reply, he announced he was
Mulholland's friend and asked her pleas
ure.
She intrusted the ink will to him, and
together they continued toward San Fran
cisco, she being continually confined to
her stateroom. She saw Tichner at inter-
walls during the journey, but for the last
time at Reno. Since then neither she nor
her attorneys nor Mr.. Roberts have seen
the ink will or Mr.. Tichner.
When Mrs. Craven arrived here and
found that the ink will was missing she
produced the pencil document, and this
was the first knowledge her counsel or
others had that there were duplicates OF
the testament of September "a, 1894, in ex-
istence.
Now comes a most interesting theory
advanced by the Craven side. They say

SOME LEGAL PHASES.
The Status of Things Should Mrs.
Craven Prove Her Claim to
Be Fairs Widow


Speculation was rife yesterday as to the
exact status of Mrs. Craven and the wills
and deeds in relation to the Fair estate
should marriage be proved between Mrs.
Craven and the late Senator Fair.
Many believed that as the widow of the
deceased millionaire Mrs. Craven would
be entitled to one-third of the estate, in
view of the fact that she was not men
toned in any of the wills of Fair. One of
her own counsel is authority for the state
ment, however, that she can claim moth
ing from the estate, as it is all composed
of separate property, and Fair had the un-
questioned right to dispose of it by will as
he saw fit.
1t was further stated that the gift deeds,
though made in favor of Mrs. Craven, car
ried title to that lady even though her real
name might be Mrs. Fair. The law sim ply
takes cognizance of the intent of the
grantor, and if Mrs. Fair can prove her
identity as Mrs. Craven, her title to the
property conveyed to Mrs. Craven will be
unquestioned.
One important legal complication may.
however, arise IN connection with the
secrecy maintained relative to the alleged
marriage. If Senator Fair conveyed any
real estate since the date of the alleged
proved genuine, the grantee may find
some difficulty in passing title without
securing the signature of Mrs. Fair to the
d eeds of conveyance.
Her signature is not absolutely necessary
to such deeds, but the wife's signature is
generally required, even when separate
property is conveyed, in order to prevent
any possibility of the claim being set up
that the property was a gift, as the hus-
band has no right to make gift of prop
erty though it be separate without the con-
sent of his wife.
Senator Fair, it is stated, desired to
make legacy to Mrs. Craven in the will
of September "a, 1895, but she objected.
In order, however, to provide for her after
his death it is claimed he decided her the
Sansome street and the Mission street
properties.
1t has been reported that Mrs. Craven
has deeds on other real estate now IN
ventoried as part of the Fair estate, but
this is denied by one of her attorneys. The
only deeds she has are the two that were
recorded so SensatiOnally last week,
