CHECK HAD NOT BEEN
CASHED BY M0RTENSEN

It developed yesterday that a check
for $287, which MOrtensen claimed to
have cashed in gold, and which was
supposed to be a part of the 81. 800
which he claimed to have paid to Hay,
has never been cashed and is now in
the hands of a relative
The check, according to the state
ment of an official last night, was Sc
cured from George NJ Cannon. Nor
Jensen is known by the officers to have
ridden as far as Cannon's place on the
Monday night OF the murder, and it
was learned afteTward by them that
he got a check from some one in that
vicinity that night. This check Is the
one he is said to have secured upon
that occasion.
In d conversation with Chief Hilton,
MOrtensen said that he had gotten the
check and had cashed it in gold at the
bank. The chief learned that the check
had not been cashed and was still in
the possession of Mortensen.
MOrtensen, however, it is said
learned of the chiefs discovery that
the check had not been cashed, and
Immediately turned it over to a rela-
tive, in whose possession 1t now is.

quite likely that the preliminary hear
ing Of Peter Mortensen on the charge
OF numbering James R Hay will take
place within a few days.
We are ready to go to trial tomor-
row" said the attorney. and if the
prisoners lawyer does hot set the case
soon we viii demand a hearing We
can convict MOTtensen and send him
to the gallOws on what We have, and
we are ready to go ahead.
"Of course, there are points that
have not been cleared up yet, and there
is evidence which we viii not bring out
at the preliminary hearing, but those
matters can be cleared up after the
preliminary hearing. We have had
two men making a thorough examina-
ton of MOrtensen's accounts and they
were nearly through last night We
expected them to make a report today
but as we wanted them to go through
the accounts from another standpoint
they have not yet finished

brought to mind the tragedy that has
blighted their lives. I thought Mrs. Hay
was right in leaving the neighbOrhood.
She is looking somewhat better than
she did. but is still suffering terribly
from the shock It is apparent that
she viii never be the same woman
again.
Things begin to look very dark for
Peter MOrtensen, but any one who
looks for a confession from him don't
know the man they are dealing with.
After James Hays body had been re-
moved from the impTOvised grave in
which it was found, number Of neigh
bors carried it to the awaiting patrol
wagon. 4 fence prevented the patrol
from reaching the scene.
When We reached that fence some
circumstance caused the others to
stand aside and Mortensen and I lifted
the body over. We were all in a trem-
bic except Mortensen. I looked at him
then and wondered that he could stand
the thing as he did. l had no idea then
that MOrtensen would soon stand for
mally accused Of causing Hays death.
Any man who could look upon his dead
neighbor with the GOODNESS he exhibit
ed. help TO exhume him and carry him
from the grave, is not going to be
frightened, coaxed or cajoled into max
ing any confession"

DENTISTRY
AS A BUSINESS.
The Making Of Artificial Substitutes
to Replace the Loss of the Natural
Teeth, Such as Plates, Crowns and
Bridges, Treated as a Business by
the
GRISWOLD DENTAL
MANUFACTURNGCO.
Twelve years over Walker Bros Bank.

We have been turning out of our
factory during the past two msnths
the finest class of artificial teeth
(plates). crowns and bridge teeth yet
produced in the state Of Utah, at prices
uHheard Of in the west for their low
ness. Our ability to create such a stir
in the dental business and throw con-
steTnatiOn into the ranks Of the So
called professional men is the result of
the happy combination of the latest
and most approved methods, appliances
and machinery. together with their
proper handling by skilled operators.
We have the largest and most thor
oughly equipped laboratory for doing
all classes of dental work west of Chi
cagO.
We do all grades of plate work, con-
tinuOus gum wOrk-made entirely Of
porcelain-srtiicial teeth mounted Cd
gold and aluminium.
The cheaper kinds are made on plates
Of rubber, and in many cases the latter
prove most satisfactory.
BY proper handling very artistic re-
suits may be obtained in even these
lOw-priced plates.
