:. Brown, pioneer, member of the Nor
mon battalion, discOverer of gold in
California, Indian fighter and mission
airy to the Sandwich islands at a time
when gospel carriers were frequently
taken internally. In his seventv-od5
years OF existence Mr.. Brown has had
thrilling experiences literally vTitbo17+

history OF Utah and the entire west.
Ohe OF the chapters of Mr. Browns
career thaI mas never been published

0ahGWlch Islands. More than forty-nine
years ago Mr.. Brown was called on a
mission 90 that then unknown terrific
~ Late in April Of 1852 he landed
near the little village Of Tatake and
started to preach the Mormon gospel.
he says that some non Mormon mis-
slonarles had preceded him and they at
once inf1amed the minds Of the natives
against his teachings. Still he made
some converts and was allowed to go
unmClested for several days.
Finally the tribes could be restrained
no longer. On the afternoon of May
Mr.. Brown was seized by two strap
ping warriors and confined in hut
That night a council was held to de-
termine his fate and it was decided
that ne must be burned at the stake
The decision was communicated to Mr.
Brown early on the following morning
That afternoon he was led out to the
place Of execution.
Several hundred natives were gath
cred together and a fire of logs was
kindled. The flames were cracking
about the timber right merTily and Mr.
l.
lost when a row was started between
the young and the old men of the tribe
The missionary didn't have any idea
what the trouble was about, but when
it was over he was informed that he
would not be burned.

Thieves Get Away.

A couple of petty thieves who were
detected in the act OF stealing a bottle
of whisky in Reilly's saloon on State
and First South streets early this
morning, precipitated a lively rough
house in the resort that resulted in
much smashed glass and caused great
excitement in that vicinity for a whila.
The bartender and several customers
saw the two men take the bottles of
liquor, and attempted to collar them.
The men made a desperate attempt TO
get out through the front door, but
finding it locked they hurled the bottles
of liquor through the glass. making
liquor and glass fly in every direction.
Finding that their escape was barred
in that direction, the men made a dash
for the rear, and after escaping several
beer mugs that were hurled after them.
they broke through the rear door and
made good their escape. The officers
arrived on the scene after the fun was
over.

Mr.. Anderson's case is a very inter
esting one, as he was a victim Of that
dread malady ECZEMA, which battles
more doctors than any other trouble.
He says: IT formerly lived in Ephraim,
Utah, but am now a resident of Salt
Lake City, and work at Whites stone
yards here. I have suffered from ecze-
ma for ten years, and have been doc
tored by two good doctors in the past
to no effect. My hands were first at
tackled, then it spread all over the body
until I was in constant torture. 1 went
to Drs. Shores a few months ago in bad
shape, and began their treatment. 1
have steadily improved under Drs.
Shores treatment, and today there is
but a slight redness on my hands-the
only trace that now shows of the dis
ease, and my improvement has been
so wonderful that I feel il a duty to
acknowledge my gratitude. Drs- Shores
have done more for me in a few months
than other doctors have in years and 1
heartily endorse the treat ment.

In the course Of true love there is
an occasional jolt even after the nup-
tiaI knot has been tied. George Wash
ingtOn Jones can testify to the truth
of this. Yesterday he walked into the
Office OF the county clerk and exhibited
q document that made his blood run
cold. It was sent by some unknown
parties who signed themselves The
Big Four" The contents of TIE docu-
ment informed Mr. Jones that he would
be expected to get out Of Salt Lake
within fOrty-eight hours. that if he did
not skip he would be treated TO a coat
of tar and feathers
His reason FOR calling at the Office
of the county clerk is very plain. The
records of the office show that on We'd
nesday last marriage license was is

sued to George w. Jones. aged "a, and
Hilda Parson, aged 40, both of Salt
Lake. The marriage was performed
on the spot by the genial George R.
Emery, who had fallen heir to the ty-
ing process formerly worked in the Of
fee of Cupid" Scare.
It was perfectly natural, therefore,
for Mr.. Jones to come to Clerk Emery
for protection when he got into trou-
BILE, and to look upon his marriage
certificate as a guarantee that he would
have peace and happiness the balance
of his life He did not get much sat
isfaction; Clerk Emery advised him to
kick the members of the vigilance
committee out of his house when they
called upon him and let it go at that.
Mr.. Jones has no idea who sent the
warning.

He asked for an explanation and one
of the old men told him he had seen a
pillar of fire over his head and took it
for sign from heaven. The young
men didn't see the sign and therefore
insisted on the execution. but they were
OverpOwered. ThenCefOrWard, with
one or two exceptions, Mr.. Browns life
in t. = islands was peaceful.
Mr.. Brown was present when gold
was discovered in the Suffer mill race
in California in 1919 He it was who
made the tests and determined the lit
tie specks of metal to be gold. Later
in Utah ne participated in a number
of Indian fights. In the last he lost
his left leg near the thigh. He had
gone away from his companions into
some bushes to recOnnOiter and on re-
turning they fired at him, thinking he
was an Indian. The bullet took erect
in his leg, injuring it so seriously that
amputation was necessary

Regard to Census Geogrshpher.

1eSbAA0 ~ SS4AalS OSoB ramp u6I.
Washington. Aug. S.-Mr. TracewelI.
the comptroller of the treasury. in a
decision rendered To-Day. holds that
Henry Gannett. the present geographer
CT the eleventh census. was illegally
appointed and hence is not entitled to
compensation. Mr.. Gannett also holds
the position Of geographer IN the geo
logical survey, and the decision Of the
comptroller of the treasury is based on
the law which inhibits any person from
holding two positions under the gov
eminent. the compensation of which is
s., 500 or more per annum.
Mr.. sfannett was appointed to his po-
sition IN the census without compen-
satiOn. presumably with a view to
asking congress to authorize the pay
ment Of the salary in case the comp
trOller should decide that he was not
entitled so il under the present law.
Although he does not decide the point.
the comptroller raises the question
whether Mr. Gannett's present salary
of s., 500 as geographer in tbs geological
survey Is not s1.100 in excess Of the
amount authorized by congress-

The Catarrhal Curse.

Catarrh is as much a curse today as
malaria and fever plague to the hot
sWampS Of Florida. It's in the air, like
an inherent and undying contagion.
Everybody is afraid of il, everybody is
interested in it, and it is just as inter
esting to be saved from it or to be
cured Of it as it is to die from it. There
are thousands of people in Salt Lake
City today who have some impercepti-
bic germ faint Of Catarrh in the sys-
TO whom those germ taints have deveI-
oPed into chronic ailments of varying
degrees Of malignity. suffering and
is aggravated by the fact that the vic
TINS cannot diagnose their miseTies or
distinguish the cause of them.
The fact is, majority of common
chronic diseases, though known as
bronchial trouble, lung trouble, kidney
trouble, stomach trouble, etc, are real
~ OF a catarrhal origin and nature.
Every part of the mucous membrane
the nose, throat, eyes, ears, head, lungs.
stomach. liver, bowels, bladder, kid
neys-are subject to disease and blight
oy catarrh. Most physicians have not
the time to devote much study to this
disease, nor have they the necessary
apparatus and training to successfully
treat It. Drs. Shores have made a life
long study OF catarrh in all its forms.
and have treated thousands of cases
IN the past eight years in this commu-
nifty, and the unanimous verdict of
their patients is that DRS. SHORES
CAN AND DO CURE CATARRH.
