PoETEss LIBELED HIM.

4 \ INDIGNANT CITIZEN of Penn
Il syivania has filed q suit for libel
against a New York paper on a thor
oughly new ground. Somebody who
was either a fool friend or a bitter
enemy OF the PennsyIvanian signed his
name to a letter to the poetess of pas
sion on the defendant paper. The duty
of this poetess, according to her writ
ings, is to straighJen out all kinds of
domestic tsngles, to give advice, sound
and otherwise. on subjects relating 10
love and beauty, ethics. etiquette, mat
tiers Of dress and other things.
In this particular letter the writer
puiported to confess a number of
things not proper ior a respectable
married citizen. The poetess answered
it, using his name with reckless aban-
don. She versifed in strenuously pas
sionate vein about his shortcomings
and toasted him to a delicate brown
before she let him drop. When that
paper reached the home of the Penn
sylvanian he was about the most sur
prised and the very hottest individual
in the keystone state.
After he had relieved his feelings by
swearing some and kicking the furni-
ture around. he filed a suit for $4,000
damages. On the face of things he has
a good case. The poetsss had no bust
ness using his name. even if it was
signed at the bottom of a letter. But
if the real writer Of the document is
ever discovered it is a certainty that
there VII be something doing"

ARMY PROMOTIONS.

THE COLLINS CASE.

CT8CUAISTANCEs SURROUNDING
\ the death Of Samuel Collins point
almost Enthusiastically To murder Of the
most coId-bIooded. deliberate and bru-
tai character. The testimony Of the
examining physician. ~ che under
taker and other authorities, makes the
theory of suicide all bat untenable. Mo
tive for the crime is easily found in the
rumor that the victim had some money
with which he proposed to so TO New
York. This rumor. reaching the ears
Of desperate scOUndreIs attracted TO
salt Lake by news OF the disorganized
condition Of the police force may have
prompted the assassination.
Tit is uncomfortable that such elabo-
rate precautions to prevent the discoY-
cry of his body should have been taken
by a suicide IL is passing strange
that "a man should divest himself Of all
clothing. tie q rope tightly around his
body. wall himself into cave, tear
out his eve and cut his throat as neatly
Es n butcher cuts the throat Of sheep.
And beyond that. after he has cut his
throat. he secretsS the knife with which
he has accomplished his own destruc-
ton.
Extremely unfortunate it is that the
body should not have been found until
several DAYS after the crime was com
mitted. The murderers have had ample
opportunity to escape. II they are not
now far beyond the reach of the salt
Lake police they are siHsuiarly Teck-
less OF their lives and liberty. Their
capture is a matter for grave doubt,
but the police must spare no effort in
this direction. Late as is their start
the possibility Of successful pursuit
stil exists
This latest case bears d striking sim
ilarity to the murder Of James r. HAY
and it adds further testimony to the
truth of ths old old saw. that Murder
