THE CAUSE IS A MYSTERY
SLAYER REFUSES TO TALK OF
 HIS CRIME.
Augustine Brutinier Will Give No Reason for the Wanton Taking of a Human
 Life.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 11.-Frank Brown was murdered by his neighbor Angus tine Brutinier at about 6:30 o'clock this morning. The men lived on adjoining ranches on the Fully road, about four miles southeast of the city. At the hour named a message was telephoned to the Sheriff's office that a man had been murdered, and when officers hur- ried to the scene they found Brown lying about thirty feet away from his barn with his lower ribs and the cov- ering of his abdomen torn away. He was still perfectly conscious.
 In answer to the officers questions he said he knew who shot him. but could not recall his name. From neighbors the officers learned that Brutinier had been seen on the premises with gun. The report was heard and Brown was seen to fall. At the same time Brutinier fled across the fields in an easterly direction. Pursuit was given and the man overtaken about mile and half east He was in field and seemingly making for the hills. He had a double barrel, muzzle-loading gun, but surrendered when ordered to do SO. One charge of the gun had been fired. He was taken before Brown, and the dying man was aSKed'
 "Is this the man who shot you?
 ''Yes, yes; that's him. Yes, that's him." said Brown.
 Brutinier said nothing. He was brought to the city and jailed He re- fused absolutely to make any state ment, and so far the facts which led to the shooting have not been ascer- tained, or even a plausible theory sug- gested. Brown was placed in vehicle and a start made for the County Hos pital, but he died before he reached there.
 Brown and Brutinier owned adjoin- ing ranches. The former had a wife home last night. In fact, 1t seems that his family has resided in San Jose for some time while he lived alone on the ranch None of his family reached him before he died. The prisoner, who is a Frenchman, has no family as far as is known He says he is a bachelor, and this is all he will say about himself. He has lived some years in a shed cabin on his ranch, as he had no other build ing. Brown was Well-known about San Jose. as he was formerly for years in the house-movin business here. He was a man of some means. While not looked upon as a dangerous or desper- ate man, it is said he was little cranky"
 Mrs. Brown sued her husband for divorce on September 30. It is incon- ceivable that this could have had any thing to do with the tragedy. She al- leged cruelty and failure to provide, though claiming that her husband was worth about $20,000

A good deal of alarm has been felt here IS a result of the news that ex-Mayor Grant of Vancouver and a number of other Canadians have jumped" claims on Wright Creek, the richest creek yet dis covered in the Atlin Lake district. It ap pears that as soon as MT. Grant appeared on the scene the Recorder discovered that the original locators had not compiled with the law relative to the amount of work for the season and so the new ar rivals rushed up to Surprise Lake and jumped" Wright Creek. It is said the Commissioner of the district has said the original locators are entitled to the claims and that when the matter comes up for adjustment in the spring he will oust Grant and his party.

Narrow Escape from Death,

Miss Grace Townslee of Glenwood, a niece
of E. j. Townslee of this city, had a mar
row escape from death by drowning yester-
day evening at Lake Manawa. She was in
bathing and got beyond her depth. Just as
she sank for the third time a man named
Moore, who had seen the young girls peril,
secured a boat, reached her and held her
above water until assistance came. Rev.
Fred Grace of Walnut, who, from the shore,
had noticed the young girl sink, jumped into
the water after her without 'divesting him
self of any of his clothes, but the boat
reached her before he did. Miss Townslee
was insensible when rescued, but after be-
ing brought to shore and the usual remedies
applied soon recovered. She was removed
to her uncle's home on Oakland avenue.
where last night she was resting easy and
apparently little the worse for her terrible
experience.
Omaha daily bee., 1898-07-31

A rather humorous incident occurred at
Manawa recently. On the placid bosom of
the lake, one morning bright and early,
something was seen floating along which at
tracted the attention of some boatmen. 1t
was a hideous looking object and all kinds
Of conjectures ran through their minds.
Finally Colonel Knepher, who is stationed
at the lake, thought he had solved the ques-
ton and proclaimed it to be a monster devil
fish from the Gulf of Mexico, so it is re-
ported, and at once resolved to catch it for
a display at the fish market of Sullivan, the
grocer, 343 Broadway. A sort of a gig was
secured and cautiously the thing was ap-
preached. With a heroic effort it was finally
landed and much to the chagrin of the cap
tors it was found to be only a bag of straw.
