CLARA NEVADA SURELY LOST
STEAMER QUEEN CONFIRMS THE
BAD NEWS.
Thought That There Were 40 Passen-
gers Aboard, Which, With the
Crew, Would Make 50 Lost.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 16.-The owners
OF the steamer Clara Nevada, which
has been reported lost with all on
board in Berner's Bay, Alaska, today
refunded TO the $50 passengers booked
for her next trip, the money paid for
tickets. 1t 10 thought that there were
at Least 40 passengers on the steamer
when she left Skaguay. This, with her
crew. would make SO persons whose
fate IS awaited with anxiety.
The refunding of passage money is
regarded as virtually the giving up of
all hope on the part of the owners.
A private telegram from Nanaimo, B.
c.. says that the steamer Queen has
arrived there from Skaguay, Alaska,
bringing confrmatory news of the loss
of the steamer Clara Nevada.

Armour Says Good Prices Will Pre-

Chicago. Feb. 16.-The Post today
says: Joseph Letter has securely cor
nered the May wheat market. plays
fast and loose with the fears of a ire
mendous short interest, and is showing
himself to be by ali ODDS the most re-
m,arkable factor ever encountered in the
local market Once more the battle be-
tween Armour and Letter is being wit
messed.
P. D. Armour said tonight: Letter
can put May wheat to $3.50 if he wants.
He has only to keep still and do moth
irg: the shorts will do the rest. There
will be good prices for wheat for an
other year, at any rate. These matters
go in long runs, years of plenty and
then of scarcity. This wheat will go
out at s125. The turn has not been
alone in wheat 1t has been in every
thing. We took shipping room for 100,-
600 bushels of wheat for export today.
We bought wheat at Minneapolis, and
are buying every bushel we can. We
are not hedging a bushei of it. We are
not afraid TO move wheat abroad with
out hedging, and to wait for the con-
sumptive markets to follow. We expect
TO see them pass US"

BURGLARS RESORT TO MURDER
Continued from Page u

bed was in a state of disorder. as if it
had been recently occupied. On the
floor near the head of the bed lay
Browns trousers, with the pockets
turned inside out. Near them lay a
bunch of keys, which were identified as
belonging 10 him. A shotgun was
standing rear the bed. and under the
pillow was found one of those contriV-
ances called a protector" pistol OF a
peculiar pattern.
a BULLET FOUND.
In the store room a thorough search
was made. and one of the bullets was
found lodged il the jamb of the door
1t had imbedded itself in the wood to
the depth of about two inches, and
was at a point about four feet from the
floor. It was dug out by the officers,
and from the course it had taken it led
to the belief that it must have been
fired from point near the angle OF the
counter. No other bullet could be found,
except the one in the body of Brown.
HOW THEY ENTERED.
The pistol was identified as belong
ing to the deceased. and was not, as
was at first supposed, one that belong
ed to the murderers. From these facts
1t was deduced that the glass front IN
the door was broken open by the men,
who then reached through and slipped
the latch with which the door was
fastened They then quietly made their
way through to the sleeping apartment,
cautiously took Browns trousers and
went through his pockets. By accident
they probably dropped the keys upon
the floor where they were found by the
police. This action is thought to have
Weakened Brown, who Immediately
reached for his gun, choosing the larger
one as being the most easily handled.
The thieves, seeing that they were DIS
covered, went out through the door
into the store room, followed by
Brow.
AS he reached the door he crept be-
hind the counter, and seeing one of the
men about to go through the door, he
fired over the counter, the ball missing
it's mark and lodging in the door jamb.
The second man had probably ducked
behind the counter, and when Brown
fired the first shot, jumped up and Srap-
pied with him. 1t must have been an
unlocked for attack, and before Brown
could throw him off he had gained pos
session of the pistol, and thrusting it
against or very near to, Browns
breast, he pulled the trigger and the
victim fell back dead. The revolver was
then dropped in the place where 1t was
found, and the men made their escape
through the front door, leaving it open.

vanced by the police in regard to the
shooting.
THEY KNEW THE PLACE.
1t seems as though the men who per-
petrated the act were well acquainted
with the habits of the deceased, and
also had thorough knowledge of the
interior of the store. Not a thing was
disturbed in the store room and the
till was untouched, though it contained
something over S25 in cash. The men
went directly to the room occupied by
Brown and went through his pockets.
Had they not known that he carried his

WASATCH COUNTY'S MAILS
WHY CHAIRMAN PATRIE WAS
TURNED DOWN.
Fixed His Date Too Close to That of
the Mckinley Wing of the Party
Severe Criticism.
Especial to The Herald.l

Washington, Feb. 16.-Judge King
called at the postoffice department this
afternoon and urged the early i'm
provement of the Wasatch county mail
service. He demonstrated that under
the present system of post routes, as
the result of recent changes in train
schedules, the mails in that county
were about IS hours late. The assist
ant postmaster general promised to
give the people of the county re-
lief by a satisfactory alteration of the
post routes.
The senate committee on public lands
had its regular meeting today, but the
McGrew case was not taken up. 1t is
the present understanding that the
matter will now go over until after
Senator Allison is heard in his behalf.
Senator Cannon says as soon as Alli-
son has spoken he will promptly press
the matter to vote.
Representative King will speak in
opposition to the proposed bankruptcy
bill on Saturday.
JUDGE KING HONORED.
Judge William H. King was a guest
of honor at the annual banquet of the
alumni association of the University or
Michigan. He delivered an interesting

Influence of the University in the
West" Judge King is a graduate of the
university law class of 'ST. There are
more than 100 Ann Arbor men in Wash

of the men employed there. During
the alteration he slapped one of them
in the face, and it is said they FOL
lowed him over to Silver City, but the
affair was not renewed.
Another incident is related as having
some possible connection with the case.
Some time ago, when near the city and
county building, on his way home, he
was attacked by two hold-ups, who
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Brown had $3.50 in cash on him at this
time, and instead of Obeying the order,
smashed one of the men in the face,
knocking him down, and then gave the
other fellow beating. On that occa-
sion he demonstrated not only his cour-
age, but his prowess, as before he had
finished with them he had the fellows
begging for mercy and asking him not
to have them arrested, as they had
families and had been driven to their
act by want This affair was reported
to the police and the facts given in the
papers. The matter was recalled yes
terday, and the suggestion is made
that these two men might have COM
mitted the murder as much out of re-
venge for the beating they received
before as well as to secure booty
THE FUNERAL.
The Knights of Pythias met last
night and completed the preliminary
arrangements for the funeral. which
will be held on Sunday at u o'clock
noon, from Castle hall. Main street,
under the auspices of the K. of P, the
Woodmen and the Fraternal Union, of
which the deceased was a member.
Those associated with the orders will
assemble at Castle hall at 1920 a. m.
and march to Joseph William Taylor's
undertaking parlors and escort the re-
mains back to the hall, where services
will be held. The interment Will take
place at Mt. Olivet cemetery.
CROXALLS CONNECTION WITH
THE CASE.
The attempt to place some culpability
upon young Ray Croxall appears, after
a thorough investigation of the case, to
be entirely without foundation. Young
Croxall told a straightforward story
throughout, and it seems unreasonable
to suspect him of being in any manner
connected with the tragedy.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-17
spite of ALL This is a legal question
that will have to be settled.
THE ACCEPTED THEORY.


There is really no room to doubt that
this was most atrocious murder, COM
mitted by burglars who had been
caught in the act and resorted TO this
desperate crime in order to escape.
The theory that Brown might have
committed suicide melts away at a
glance. To begin with, there was no
The deceased was young man, and
the life before him was a bright one.
His financial affairs were in the best
condition Ne had a fine business, his
side ventures were all successful ones,
and he had everything to live for, and
his disposition was most happy, and
on Tuesday night he was in jolly
frame OF mind He attended a meet
ing of the K. of P, and was with lis
brother Pythians until II o'clock. and
was full of good humor and content
y.en--
NOT ACCIDENTAL.
There is even less weight TO be at
tached to the theory that the shooting
was accidental And, finally, there is
the tangible evidence that burglars
were in the place. and that they made
away with considerable sum of the
dead mas money.
HIS PERSONAL TRAITS.
The most reasonable theory, and the
one generally accepted, is that the in
truders had reason to believe that
Brown kept considerable money at MS
place He was one of the deDositors
who lost money in the Bacon failure
and after that ne frequently expressed
his lack of faith in banks, and stated
that he did not have a bank account
Moreover, he generally carried copsid-
cradle money with him, and was care
less about showing it. He did not know
what fear was, and when cautioned
about keeping money at his place, or
showing it when out, always laughed
it off, and expressed faith in his abil-
ity to protect himself and his property.
THE MURDERERS KNEW OF IT
1t is believed that in some way the
men responsible for his death obtained
an inkling of Mr. Browns habits and
entered the place, with which they were
evidently familiar, with the single IN
tention of stealing. They went into
Browns bedroom. secured his trousers,
distracted the pocketbook and had
about completed their work there when
the bunch of keys found on the floor
fell. making sufficient noise to arouse
the sleeping man. He grasped the Sit
uation in an instant, and as the men
darted into the store room, ne
seized his revolver and bound
evidently lodged behind the counter,
and Brown unwittingly followed him,
while the other was at the door. The
latter naturally attracted Browns at
tention, and he fred, the bullet missing
the man and lodging in the door jamb.
The intruders then realized that they
were in a desperate situation, and the
one who had lodged behind the counter
rushed upon Brown, whose attention
was still engrossed upon the man he
had just shot at, wrenched the re-
volver from his hand and in an instant
fired the fatal shot.
HIS COURAGE AND PROWESS.
1t is related that a short time before
he went east he visited the mine at
Silver City and had a dispute with two

money in his trousers pockets they
would undoubtedly have rified the till
in the store instead of running the risk
of stealing the trousers from the head
of the bed.
MISTRUSTED BANKS.
Brown had an abiding mistrust of all
banks. and frequently stated among his
friends that no bank would ever get
his money. His aversion to banks was
occasioned by the loss of about $9OO,
which disappeared upon the fallure OF
the Bank of Salt Lake. An intimate
friend of Browns said yesterday that
the murdered butcher had an immense
pride in the possession of his money,
and displayed it on many occasions in
a reckless manner. He was in the habit
of pulling large rolls of bills from his
trousers pocket when making change
for his customers.
Brown had always carried gun in
his pocket as a safeguard against
thieves. and boasted that no man could
take his money His confidence in his
power of taking care of his possessions
is said by his friends to have been in
creased by the fact that few months
ago he COPIED successfully with two
hold-ups.
A PREVIOUS THEFT.
This is the second time that Brown
has been robbed. Last July $50 was
apurioined from the store during his
nomentary absence, and Brown at the
time strongly suspected one OF his
neighbors of having committed the
THEFT.
John McCallister, a young man who
was employed in the store by Mr..
Brown stated that on Tuesday there
were several people in the store pre-
senting bills for payment: Brown re
marked that ne did not have enough
money and that he would go up to the
bank and get some more. He had a
safety deposit box in the Deseret Ma
tionai bank and kept some money in
there But he liked TO have money
with him and usually had about $500
in his pocket.
HAD FULLY 5000.
According to the statements made by
reliable Witnesses, he paid out $50 to
Kahn Bros and about So to Rogers.
the cigar dealer. Charles Brown, a
brother of the deceased, stated that on
the night he was murdered he had in
his pocket fully 500. if not more. He
kept it in a rather large buckskin
money bag, and it was in gold, silver
and greenbacks. It was undoubtedly
known 10 the nurderers that he mad
the money and that ii was IN his pants
pocket for that was evidently what
they were after. The money bag and
its contents We're missing, and dill
gent search did not reveal it.
Nearly all of the neighbors knew
something of the affair. and all agreed
practically upon the time of the trag-
edy and the number of shots; but as
to the perpetrators there are several
stories. Mrs. Mayer, who lives two
doors east OF the place, on Fifth South
street. stated that she distinctly heard
two shots and then some persons ran
past her door, going east. This was
followed by the sound of a wagon or
buggy, being driven at d rapid pace
