A. Milton Mnsser's 5000 Claim Is
Held Up.
AUDITOR RICHARDS FIRM
SAYS EXAMINERS MUST PASS
ON 1T.
Board Referred Musser TO Legislature
and That Body Allowed the
Amount, But State Official Con-
tinues to Hold Up the Warrant
For Services In Territorial Days.

+. Milton Musser, who was fish COM
missioner when Utah was territory,
realizes just how it feels TO be 80 near
and yet SO far" He is in a position to
sympathize with any unfortunate who
may have had cup full of satisfaction
pushed away when he was about to
bury his face in it, In the language of
the street, Mr.. Musser is up against
it,
The story of the ex-game warden's
fluctuations began a long time ago.
Mr.. Musset' served the territory AT a
time when its lakes and streams did
not abound in plump specimens of the
finny tribe Realizing the lack. Mr..
Musser bought plentiful supply of
the playful, but ossiferouS carp, and
with them stocked the waters of Utah
lake.
Hundreds of unlocked carp, the
progeny Of Mr.. Musser's first setting"
are there to this day to rise up and
call him blessed There are also hun
dreds of gamey bass that fire the blood
of the angler and afford him much en-
Joyment, as we'll as some tribulation.
Mr.. Musser put in the bass, and he did
other things along the same line, pis
catorially, elsewhere.
Claim Of 5000.
his services ana expenses ne
claimed the modest sum of $500. Some
how or other the claim hung fire. Al
though. considering the laborer worthy
of his hire. Mr.. Musser made frequent
applications for his stipend, it was
never allotted to him. Finally, early in
March last, he went before the state
board of examiners and asked for a
decision.
The board suggested that in view of
the fact that the work had been done
in territorial days, Mr.. MuSSer should
apply directly to the legislature for re-
lief. This he did, and while that body
was in articulO mortis, Mr.. Musser'S
claim was allowed and placed on the
appropriation list. The fish and game
but he finds now that they have just
begun
Auditor Richards Balks.
When he called on Auditor Richards
for a warrant for his $780, that official,
after due elaboration, declined to issue
the desired paper. He took the ground
that he could not lawfully fill out the
warrant until the claim had been again
passed on by the board Of examiners, d
body which had previously washed its
hands of the matter.
Mr.. Musser sent a typewriter COM
munication to the auditor yesterday, in
which he told his tribulations at some
length. He said that it seemed strange
to him that Mr.. Richards was paying
out money on other claims allowed by
the legislature and was holding up this
one. although the services were rem
dered so faithfully, so unselfishly and
so prcfitably to the state"
In reply. Auditor Richards wrote that
he could still see no reason for issuing
the warrant He wrote that the claim
ants only hope. so far, as he knew, was
in the courts, or in some future legis-
lature.
Therefore. unless Mr.. Musser can get
a Judge of competent jurisdiction to
mandamus Mr.. Richards into seeing
things his way, he'll have to wait at
least a year and a half longer for his
money.

Arthur Johnson'S Bold Break For
Liberty.
LEFT THE COUNTY JAIL
BRUSHED PAST KEEPER AND
HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE.
Mulatto Who Held Up Three NJ n and
Shot William Elliott Three Times
Had Planned His Escape and
Broke Away From the Jailer-Re-
ward For His Capture.

Arthur Johnson, the mulatto who
single handed held up three men early
one morning last April, shooting Will
lam Elliot three times during the fra
cas-, made a daring escape from the
county jail yesterday at a. m, and
had not been apprehended at the time
OF going to press. He was one OF jail
er Thomas TRUSTEES and took adSant-
age of his liberty by brushing past his
keeper and out OF the door, since when
time he has not been seen except for
the few moments the jailer, Yer much
handicapped, pursued.
Johnson, since his incarceration, has
complained of heart trouble, and at
one time was dangerously i'll. He was
removed from the rotary to a down.
stairs cell next to the jail entrance and
being good worker was subsequently
admitted to the freedom of the corri-
dor.
Escape Was Planned.
His escape, it seems, had been
planned beforehand. When the jailer
brought the men out from the rotary
for breakfast, johnson was in his ac-
customed place, and started, preceded
by the jailer, through a blind door in
to the kitchen. Jailer Thomas turned
TO tell him to bring some bread from a
table behind him, and then spoke to
another trusty, also behind. AS soon
as his head was turned, johnson made
dash for the door and got out, run
ming through the big gates of the jail
yard, across the street, and south on
Second West.
Thomas followed a short distance to
the gate, hurting a heavy brass key at
the escape, but without effect. Fearing
the other prisoners would decamp if
he went further. the jailer returned
He had no gun, as Johnson we'll knew,
and after the start the escape was
easy.
a reward of $50 was Immediately Of
fered by the jailer for Johnson's re-
capture, and the sheriff increased this
TO 500. ogden and Provo were noti-
fed to be on the lookout Johnson
wore a shirt and overalls, but is be-
lieved to have worn a vest and hat be-
meath the shirt, that he might change
his appearance. He is six feet in
height. wears a short moustache and
shutters. He is, as stated, mulatto.
The charges against him are assault
with a deadly weapon and highway
robbery.
