Andrew PeterSon'S Bullet RiddIed Re-
mains Arrive From Brainerd,

The remains of late the Andrew
Peterson arrived Wednesday from
Brainerd, and are in the undertaking
rooms OF John Klein & Co., awaiting
burial. A FREE PRESS reporter was
admitted to see the body thisatfernoon
Peterson was brutally murdered by a
treachous coward who killed him in
order to secure S41 which Peterson
drew as his pay at lumber camp. The
murderer, Pryde, found only a dollar,
however. Mr.. Petersons son, who
went after the remains, had a CONVEX
satlon with Pryde, who admitted the
murder and said that he would do it
again, but would cut Peterson's throat
and hang him if he was doing it over
again. He shot Peterson four times
and thought him dead, but the
wounded man crawled four miles and
told of Pryde's assault on him.
The corpse is we'll preserved. On
bullet struck out the right eye, with
out injuring the lids, but the cheek is
swollen from the powder burns.
Another bullet passed in at the neck
and lodged in the breast. A third
bullet entered the right wrist and is
Embedded in the arm. The fourth
glanced off of the forehead. 1t is a
wonder that the unfortunate victim
lived at all.
Pryde planned the murder with ex-
actness, first going to Brainerd from
the lumber camp, then sending for
Peterson on the preteXt that he had
job for him. Knowing that Peterson
would draw his money before going to
Brainerd, Pryde took him on a walk
out into the country and then shot
him. Forty dollars was sewed to the
lining of the coat and escaped the
fiendish robber.

Democrat, one who has fought the

over the elevation of Howard to a
place he had no possible claim to.

thirty-fve years old, and is very near

injuring himself. After recovering
he decided to take trip around the

present distance, and has taken
seven years to make the trip. Yes

A FULL STOCK.
The New Furniture Store Will be
Good One.

John r. Thomas, who has severed
his connection with Odjard & knott,
expects to get his new furniture store
ready for opening about March 18th.
He will leave in day or two for the
twin cities, Milwaukee, Chicago aud
Grand Rapids, to purchase complete
stock of furniture, carpets, baby car
riages, and everything usually carried
in a first class store of the kind. He
will in the meanwhile have import
ant Improvements made upon his re-
Gently purchased building, which he
purchased of Geo. T. Barr for ST, 500.
A new front will be put in, new floor
ing laid, and such other Improvements
made as seem necessary.
Mr.. Thomas has been resident of
Mankato for over twenty years, and
has been with Odjard 81 Knott for
the past dozen years. He expects to
have stock composed of as good a
quality of goods as can be found any
where. He is live young man, aud
if hustling will accomplish success,
he will win in the race. His numer-
Gus friends will hope that this will be
the case.

FORTNlGhTLY CLUB.
An Interesting Meeting Held Last
Night.

The Fortnightly club was entertain
ed at Miss Brewster's Tuesday even
ing. There was full meeting Miss.
Ford read very carefully prepared
paper on "The Holy Roman Empire"
having it's rise and development
from it's inception until having
reached the summit of its power finally
disintegrated under the influence of
newer ideas. Mr.. Taylor followed
with paper bearing closely On the
former. He set forth "The Rise and
Downfall of the Temporal Power of
the Pope" This was an exceedingly
thoughtful paper that showed very
forcibly the beneficial influence of
of the Papal temporal power for those
times. And the abuses were not so
much of the papal authority as the
environment of the age.
''Should the Monroe doctrine be
construed and enforced literally?"
was the theme for discussion. Mr..
E. l.. Patterson made a strong patri-
otto plea for the affirmative. He had
his subject well in hand. Even Sena-
tor Davis could not have done better
in defending this fundamental doc
trine of American Republicanism.
Mr.. Hubbard antagonized the liberal
enforcement of the doctrine. He
found it hard to oppose the question
without being English. But he &C
complished the difficult flat in a
strong argument sustained by facts,
and agreed to by many who followed
in the discussion. But all who par
tlcipated showed strong loyalty to
our government, and Jealous regard
for an institution that would allow no
interference from outside monarchical
governments. Still the feeling pre-
vailed in the club, (of which the larg-
er part last evening were ladies', that
the q. S. interference in all such mat
tiers as Cuban liberty, Venezuela
boundries, ETC., should be on the
broad basis of humanity and right,
rather than any mere grounds of self
protection.

was as slow in making improvements
as it has been in pushing along our
government building since it's first in
ception, few people would live to see
an improvement adopted, the agita-
tion for which was started in their
day.
On Occount of the WatterSOn lee
ture on March II, the next meeting
of the club will be held on Wednes-
day evening, March Is, when w. L.
Comstock will read a paper on ''Dis-
cretiOnary power of courts-Its use
and abuse"

NEW YORK, May 2--Business on the

the fluctuations in prices, except in a

the card, Il more active money market

UP THE CANYON.

Irving Hale, representing the Gen

manager OF the Denver branch of that
extensive institution, was UP the can
yon yesterday together with Manager
Hayward, of the Salt Lake and Ogden
Gas and Electric Light company. Mr..
Hale is a graduate of Yale college
and one of the best posted men on
electrical science and trade in the west
Both gentlemen were highly pleased
with the power plant project and think
it will work almost a revolution in
manufacturing methods. 1t is under
stood that Mr. Hale comes to Utah
with two eyes to the business of sup
plying electrical furnishings to the
company.
A new camp was being organized

MRS. MoENcH HoNoREp.

A conjoint meeting of Y. L. M. I. A.
of the Fourth and Fifth wards Of Og-
den, was held on Thursday, April &c.
in the Fifth ward meeting house in
honor of Mrs. r. E. Moench. After a
brief programme a most interesting
address was delivered by Mrs. Moench
which was listened to with marked at
tention. Remarks were also made by
Mrs. Jane S. Anderson, president; Bell
Foulger and Counselor George w. Lar
kins. Mercy r. Burton then read a
poem which she had kindly consented
to write in behalf of the young ladies,
expressing their feelings of love and
gratitude to their former president
who had labored so faithfully for them
in days gone by. Mrs. Moench, with
heartfelt emotion, thanked her sisters
for the love they had shown her, as
surfing them she truly appreciated it,
and that it was sweet to be remem-
bered. After a few remarks by Presi-
dent Rose Candfield one of the most en-
joyable meetings ever held by these
associations was brought to a close
