HOW CHURCHILL ESCAPED.

London, Dec. 27.-Mr. Winston S.
Churchill has cabled, and the Morning
Post publishes today. an account of his
escape from captivity with the Beers.
after having been made a prisoner in
the reconnaissance of an armored train
at Estcourt- The dispatch. which is
dated Lourenzo Marquee. Dec 81. says:
.'On the afternoon of Dec u the

The Morning Post has received the
following from Mr.. Churchill under
date of Dec. 26. telegraphed from
Chieveley camp, where he has ar
rived:
''All ranks have complete confidence
in Sir Redvers Butler. and there is a
stern determination TO succeed next
time at all costs. A painful impression
was caused by the announcement of
the change of conmander-in-chief and
the soldiers here are resolved to vindi-
cate their trusted leader.
The situation, nevertheless, is diff
cult, the Boer position being one of ex-
tT'aordinary strength. with high hills

galleries, rising from an almost unford-
able river and with a smooth plain in
front.

or two receive a. circular requesting
them to assent to a call for a meeting
and to demand financial statement of
the company's earnings, which, it. is
charged, has not been made since the
Standard Oil folks came into the con-
troll Of the property last spring.
Those who are behind the movement
assert that the company makes very
large earnings, and that there is no
reason for the sharp drop in the shares
from about SO to 26. They declare
that efforts apparently have been
made by the big oil capitalists TO shake
out the smaller stockholders, with
view to buying it at their own price

J. F. K Clark, Louis n. Kramer and
Samuel Newhouse.
Jesse Lewisohn, one of the directors,
who is friendly to the Standard Oil
management. said today that he was
not aware of the opposition movement
to compel the publication of a state
ment, and he said that the law did not
REQUIRE one to be made before the latter
part of next year.
"However,' he said, 1--WE intend to
make one within the next few days,
perhaps this week. 1t will not be
strictly financial statement. but it
will be sufficient to show that the COM
pany is in fiourishing condition. This
report is not due to any fear of a
stockholders movement"

STATUS OF QUAY CASE.
Beveridge Says No One Knows How
Senators Will Vote.

Indianapolis, Dec. Ex-senator Bev-
eridge today made the following state
ment concerning Senator Quay:
THE taltz about QUAY not having
votes enough to seat him is nonsense:
so are the claims that he has enough
votes to seat him. Nobody knows just
what the situation is. Nobody knows,
for example, how / shall vote 1 know
that great many other senators are
exactly in the same situation.
THE whole matter is a pure question
of constitutional construction. All this
talk about corrurt elections, etc, - 5

pursuit of the murderer of Thomas San
dali at Leyton nine months ago.
7 The crin,a was the worst ever per-
petrated in this vicinity. and the peo-
pie were universally wrought up over
it. Every clue that developed was ca
gerly seized upon and followed, and as
one after another failed of clearing up
the mystery the public generally
came to the conclusion that the mur-
derers had made good their escape, and
from that time to this it has been taken
for granted that the criminals would
never be captured.
But there was one man, at least,
who never lost hope Month after
month he worked quietly on the case,
weaving the threads of circumstances
connected with the tragedy together
until tangible clue was revealed that
he believed would lead to the arrest
and conviction of the murderer or mur-
derers. That man was Sheriff L. E. Abb
bott of Davis county. He is a young Of
ficer. having only 1arved in the ca
pacity three years, but he has estab-
lishe>i a record of running down crimi-
nails that places him among the lead
ing men of his calling in the state.
His clever work on this case is an
other evidence Of his shrewdnesS. As
sociated with him in the discovery of
clues and in the SUBSEQUENT events that
have led to the apprehension of Hay
worth were ex-Sheriff Belnap of Weber
county and Mr.. Z. p. Ellison, superin-
tendent of the Farmers Union store
at Layton. To these gentlemen and to
a few intimate friends have the devel-
opmentS in the case been known, and
to no one else.
A Thrilling Story.
The story Of the pursuit and capture
~ Ill 4 ff
is a thrilling one. The chase is one of
the most noteworthy in the record of
Utah criminal history. Sheriff Abbott
has Travelled from 5000 to 10000 miles
in following clues and trailing the fu-
gitives all over the northwest.
1t has required most clever sleuthing
on the part of Sheriff Abbott and his
associates to ferret out the perpetrat-
ors of this murder. At the outset all
was dark The culprits seem to have
done their work and vanished as COM
pletely as if the earth had opened and
swallowed them. Not even was the
motive for the crime apparent. Mr..
Sandal was a man of quiet manner.
inoffensive, honest. companicnable, and
so far as could be ascertained he had
not an enemy in the world The sus-
picion that the crime was committed
by some one who had personal grudge
against the victim was at first enter
tained by many, but later developments
dispelled that thought
Gypsies Suspected.
Within an hour after he arrived on
the scene of the tragedy Sheriff Alb
bott had decided that a company of
gypsies, encamped between Kaysville
and Layton, only mile or so from
the Farmers Union store, knew more
about the crime than they should, and
at his suggestion a thorough search of
the gypsy camps was made by Sheriff
Howells of Salt Lake county, City Mar
shall Blood CT Kaysviile and himself.
Not thing was found in the camps
that could possibly connect the swarthy
nomads with the crime. The gypsies
were so obliging in the matter of aiding
in the search through wagons, tents,

ington to testify, but the committee is
determined TO hold the list down to as
narrow a limit as possible, because of
the expense of bringing persons so
great a distance. Among those who
probably will be asked to attend are
number of members of the legislature,
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the charges of bribery
in t;.e case.
The first point taken up for inquiry
will be the charge that thirty bills of
81, 900 each were presented to one man
to secure his support of Mr.. Clark. The
counsel for the prosecution includes ex-
Senator Edmunds, Representative
Campbell of Montana, ex-Representa-
tive Hartman of Montana and the Hon.
Jere Wilson of this city. Former Unit
ed States Senator Faulkner of West
Virginia is so far the only counsel OF
record in behalf of Mr.. Clark.
