STEVE KEENE SELLS OUT.
Sequel to the Benbrook- Morris
TRAGEDY

Steve Keene has sold his interest in
the Merchants cafe to his partner Matt
Collinson for $4,000. This is the result
of the injury that has been done the
business of the restaurant through the
Benbrook- Morris tragedy. Keene
thought that as long as he remained
connected with the restaurant Ger
tain public distrust might hang over
it for he it was who furnished the gun
with which Norris was killed.
To those persons who believed that
Keene had a hand in the tragedy and
were clamoring for his arrest as an
accessory of Benbrook he answers
that the fact that he has thought il
necessary to give up a paying business
is sufficient proof of his honesty. Keene
has no plans for the future; he will
likely remain here sometime.
He saw County Attorney Putnam
yesterday and explained the sale and
said that if a bond for his appearance
at the trial We're needed he was pre-
pared to furnish it. Mr. Putnam re-
piled that no bond was necessary
Eeene has been quite successful in
business. He opened the Merchants
four years ago, at Young's cafe. one
door north of its present location. Less
than one year ago, Matt Collinson
bought a half interest paying therefor
$500. Their business grew so rapidly
that they opened the present place
about the first of the year.

.L|BERALITY TO VOLUNTEERS
PATRIOTISM OF EMPLOYERS
MEASURED BY MONEY.
Commendable Generosity of Some
Salt Lake Employers to Men Who
Went to the War.

When volunteers were called for in
the spring and summer of last year
many merchants. corporations and
other employers of men periodically
announced that their employees who
enlisted for the war would be given
their old positions upon return from
honorable discharge or muster out Still
others. in addition to reserving posi-
tions for their men who went to the
war. have paid half salaries to the de-
pendent families of their employees IN
army service for the full period of alb
sence.
Not all who have thus shown their
love OF country are known. and only
by chance have the cOmmendable ser
vice of these become matters for pubic
notice. For example, one corporation,
u. c. NJ. L.. has paid not less than 500
a month in the aggregate every month
for more than a year TO the families
of Theodore Cleghorns. William Ellis
and George Duffin, as half salaries for
the time they have been serving theEa
ton with the Utah batteries. and the
positions of the latter two Will be re-
stored to them upon their return, Fri
vate Cleghorne having already return
ed to the corporations employ.
Fer more than a year the Coop
Wagon K Machine company has PAID
half salaries to two of its employees,
Sergeant Joseph Nystrom and VIII g.

ms $3.50. They will also resume
their former positions with the COM

Knows a Good Paper.

In its baseball edition of yesterday,
the Pocatello has the following to say
concerning The Herald:
The Salt Lake Herald has given very
good reports of the recent Pocatello-
Ogden games, but readers of the Salt
Lake Tribune have been much disap-
pointed by the fact that that paper has
practically ignored them altogether.
There seems to be an idea that the Salt
Lake Tribune didn't want to give the
news of these games for fear of losing
some of her Ogden subscribers, and.
while such an idea IS probably entirely
remote from the facts, it is, neverthe-
less, true that The Herald's excellent
reports has gained it readers, and the
Tribune's practical lack of report has
lost it readers here in Pocatello.
