One Occasion When HerEians Went
Out Towards the Springs.
J. NJ. Robbins, a brother-in-law of
Frank Christensen, proprietor of the
Eclipse livery stables on State street,
was seen at his home 269 South Fifth
East street, by Herald reporter last
night Mr. Robbins was in charge Of
the Eclipse stables from Christmas
time until about the middle of Febru-
airy. He we'll recalls Instances where
Hermans was out driving.
The pastor sold his own buggy about
January 8, and after chat time he
was compelled to hire MS rigs.
Mr.. Robbins remem bers the particu-
lar occasion when Hermans one night
secured cutter. 1t was some time
during the latter part of January. but
he does not recollect the exact Gate.
Since the tragedy was discovered Mr.
Robbins stated that he has tried to re-
fresh his memory on this important
point. but has been unable to fix the
date
AS no record is kept of the names of
those who secure livery rigs d search
of the books at the stables was in vain.
1t is the custom to make note only of
the horses that go out, and whether
to transients or not
Mr.. Robbins does remember. how
ever, that the preacher got the cutter
and told him he was going toward
Warm springs. He did not return until
II or II o'clock that night, and the
horses showed that they had been
driven hard

DIR. FAUsTss IDEAS FOR THE CAR


NTVAL.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Salt Lake City. May 81
The great carnival is being prepared
! for July. That it will be the greatest
show that has ever been seen west OF
the Missouri river there IS no DOUBT.
That it will afford the people on Otah
and surrounding states and territories
more pleasure than anything attempt
ed before is already assured.
To this end everybody ought to con-
tribute and do all in their power TO
show Utah past and present, and tnen
we can lin part conclude wnat lne
future will be- There are but few OF
the 1S47 emigrant pioneers left. These
with President Woodruff should be
seated in carriages with Green Flake,
the only colored pioneer now living,
driving President Woodruffs carriage.
And it should match as nearly as pcs
sible the one President Woodruff used
when he drove President Young
through the Emigration canyon into
these valleys, on the blessed and ever
memorable oath of July, 1S47. This the
old would enjoy.
The stranger and the young would
have an object lesson they would
never forget The next in line should
be the survivors of the Mormon battal-
ion. l have been informed that there
are less than twenty now living
These men have not alone done
enough in the early settlement of Utah
/ to give them place in the front ranks
while alive but should also have their
names engraven on President Young
monument when it shall have been
completed.
The next in the procession should
be all the old men that rode after and
fought the Indians They should be
on horseback and with them the pony
| express riders and mail carriers. They
should have their pack animals with
their tents, blankets and provisions all
as they used to travel. These men
could make a camp have reunion,
and enjoy themselves in each others
society as they once did
This. too. would show the young how
their fathers and grandfathers had to
help settle your now happy and pros
| porous Utah.
Let no one fear that these three COM
panies would take much room, but all
should be invited and induced to come.
General R. P. Burton would be a
proper person to provide body guard
and escort for President Woodruff. as
he is the Oldest general now living of
all the Indian fighters in Utah.
The governor and his staff follow
next; they then would head Utah as it
now is. That we will have a grand
and good time am satisfied
There is only one kicker heard from,
only one divisfon-maker left
The people of Ogden want no more
strife and opposition; they have an in
terest in Utah, and they will come and
participate in the joys Of happy Utah.
Come down, Billy Glasmann. and
bring buffalo with you It will prove
a tanner to you and the other animals.
Music will soothe your savage breast.

HE CANNOT ESCAPE.
Authorities Confident That the MUIR
derer VIII Soon Be Caught.

The authorities are leaving 10 stone
unturned to capture Francis Hermans.
During the past few days kilograms
giving his description have been sent
broadcast and if Hermans is still alive
he will have hard time to escape.
The police department is not alone
working on the case. Sheriff Hardy is
sending out as much information as
the chief of police, and is working
just as earnestly. With the reward
now hanging over the pastor head, it
is difficult to see how he can keep cut
of the clutches of the law Hernans
has nearly a months start, out his
funds were limited and he could not
travel fast without money.
The announcement in a morning pa
per that the governor had offered a
reward of $3.50 for Hermans' capture
was erroneous. The Herald as usual
gave the facts when 1T stated $500,
which is the limit the governor nauld
offer under the law passed by the last
legislative session.

lamation issued by the chief executives:

WAS A LADIES MAN.
Hermnns Was Very Polite and Made
Acquaintances Easily.

Mr. Korner. the well known and popu-
lar conductor on the Rio Grande road,
knew Hermans well. He travelled very
often on his train when visiting the
southern parts of the state, and in this
way they became acquainted.
Conductor Korner says Hermans was
a great ladies' man. He seldom trav-
eled alone, and if he entered the cars
alone he would usually try and pick
up a conversation with some lady pas
senger.

ed him particularly because whenever
he had a young lady along he would
take a seat in the rear of the car so
that their movements could not be so
easily watched by their fellow rassen-
gers. Hernans was very courteous
and attentive to his travelling partner,
and strangers would easily suppose
they were a newly married couple out
spending their honeymoon.

HERMaNs' NATIONALITY.
The Controversy That Has Arisen

The controversy which appears to
have arisen over Hermans' nationality

that he was born in Norway or in

against whom a fraud order was issued
recently by the postofiice department was

examination before United States Com

Suspicion was attracted to Mason by
the large number of letters he sent out
through the postoffice here. There were
1900 of them, all addressed to Methodist
ministers. They purported to ask aid for
the Rev. P. A. Cool, pastor of the First
Methodist church here and the original
addresses were asked to send a dime
apiece to Mason for the purpose. also to
make three~copies of the letter and mail
to their friends, the latter to do the same
and so on. Mason is well to do and has
held a good reputation.

CHICAGO, May 27-Frank E, Lowell
cattle buyer of Carrollton, Mo-, was
arrested 'uhis afternoon in the office of
the chief of police charged with the
murder of E. R. Hunter, well known
commission merchant at the stock
yards, April IL, 1895. The arrest was
the result of police investigation which
has been going ON for some months.
Three others are said to be implicated
in the crime. OF these Jacob Golman
was arrested two weeks ago and John
Bates is serving a sentence in the
Joliet penitentiary Frank Williams,
the fourth suspect, is still at large.
The murder, on account of the promin-
ence of the victim and the complete
mystery surrounding the circum-
stances of the crime, created consider
able excitement at the time. Lowell
and Hunter were said TO be bitter bust
ness rivals and it is this fact the police
state which led to the first clew.
