Reckless Shooting by Bazier Causes the Death Of Axe
J. Keiand While Returning From the Beach
Early This Morning.
JIrHILE riding in from saltair O

WHILE riding in from Saltair on
w the last train early this morning,
Axel ]. Keiliand. an employee at
the Dinwoodey Furniture company,
was shot and killed by NJ. A. Brazier,
an employee at the lunch counter at the
lake. From the statements made by
BraZier and other witnesses. the kill
ing was accidental, but Brazier was
placed under arrest by the sheriff as
soon as he reached the city, and an in
vestigation will be made.
From his own statements. Brazier
recklessly pointed his revolver out the
side of the car under the curtain and
fired two shots. Keilland happened to be
walking along the steps on the outside
and one bullet entered his stomach. The
wounded man sat down in the car and
said ne was shot, but the young men
in the seat thought he was shamming.
and what had happened was not real
lied until Keilland fell over and it was
discovered that he was dead. BraZier
Immediately gave himself up TO the
brakeman and later to the officers.
Brazier Shot Recklessly.
The shooting occurred about 1870
this morning when the train was about
halfway between Saltair and the Jor-
dan river. According 10 the story told
by BraZier, he finished his work at the
beach last night and put his .3S-caliber
revolver in his pocket when he started
to the city on the last train. He took
a seat near the front end of the third
car from the engine and sat talking TO
W. l.. Arbuckle, ". A Brodie and A.
Christensen, three companions.
Il was sitting on the end OF the
bench" said Brazier, "and when the
train was somewhere between the
beach and the river, / took my gun out
and thought would have some fun by
shooting out the side Of the car. I new
err once thought OF any one being out
side, so l just stuck the revolver under
the curtain that hung over the aisle
and fired down toward the ground
Probably a minute or two later l stuck
II out again and fired the second time
After the shot had been fired, Keil-
/ land, whom l didn't know and hadn't
seen before, stepped into the aisle and
sat down on the floor. He said some
thing that sounded like I'm shot and
leaned against the front seat wasn't
sure what he said, and I didn't have
any idea that I had shot him. He sat
on the floor a minute or two, then
stretched out and hreathed hard a time
or two and then lay still. / saw thai

Kingston, st. Vincent, Sept. s.-Au-
thentic reports received here from vari-
GUS sources confirm the statements
that the eruption of Mont Pelee during
the night of Aug. 80. was the most ter

Il left Fort de France at o'clock In

AWE-INsPrRING SCENE.
Vivid Description of the Eruption Of
Soufriere Volcano.


Kingston. St. Vincent. Thursday.
Sept. 4. p. m.-An official who has
lust returned here says that Chateau
Bellair was safe. Only a small quantity
of sand and stone fell there. An ada
cent estate. Fitzhughes. suffered great
ly, all cultivation being destroyed. The
parish is being evacuated. There was
no loss of life. Georgetown is also safe.
No one ventured within the FIRE zone,
the SOufriere being still in eruption.
The destruction of the Carib country
is presumably complete. The eruption
yesterday was longer in duration and
more violent than even the first dire
outburst Of May Z. With a taunting
recollection of the fate Of St. Pierre,
Martinique, and the last disaster here,
the people conVerged on Kingston and
ran to and fro, seeking the safest shell
ters from the electric cloud spreading
over the hills toward the town. while
shocks of earthquake, though not Sc
we're, increased the panic.
At 2 o'clock in the morning loud,
rapid explosions were mingled with a
continuous terrible roar. zimmerman
darkness. changed into a constantly
glimmering armament illumined by
forked lightning. balls Of fire ascending
from the crater and bursting into me-
teOr-like showers. Such an aWe-in-
spring scene the widest flights OF
fancy could not have imagined. This
lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning.
The rumor that tidal wave was ex-
pected caused increased agitation, and
hundreds of people fed TO the hills.
Superheated clouds rose to an immense
height and rain clouds below sent down
showers.
At a. m. silver clouds were issuing
from the crater and throughout the day
they moved slowly onward. The heat
was abnormal. and there were renewed
indications of a further outbreak Of the
volcano.
Last night there were unmistakable
signs of Mont Pelee being in eruption
simultaneously with the SOufrieTe.

something was wrong and leaned over
and discovered that he was dead. Then
we picked him up and laid him on the
seat"
Gives Himself Up.
After this had been done, Brazier i'm
mediately went to Brakeman Bates and
told him that he had accidentally shot
a young man. Bates says the young
man told him just how it occurred, and
said he wanted to give himself up to
the officers as soon as they got to Salt
Lake.
The brakeman and Conductor ]. S.
Risley watched the young men and the
body until the train arrived in the
city then Arbuckle. who was with Bra
zier, called the patrol. Sheriff Naylor
was informed of what had occurred
and he, with Deputy Raleigh. arrived
at the train shortly after it came in.
Brazier gave himself up TO the officer
and told him how the AFFAIR occurred.
The others who were with him were
questioned and all told the same story
as related by Brazier.
Up to this time, it was not known
where the bullet had struck Keilland,
but an examination of the body by the
officers showed that it had struck the
belt just TO the left of the center of
the stomach. and the gun had evil
IDENTIFY been very close to the body, for
the trousers were powder burned.
Coroner Is Notified.
The coroner was called and an effort
was made 10 locate the parents of the
dead young man. but no one in the
crowd knew where he lived. A mes
senger. however was sent out TO locate
them and notify them of the sad Oc-
eurrence After the arrival OF the
coroner the body was removed to IN
dertaker S. d. Evans parlors and an
inquest will probably be held tomorrow
morning.
Brazier was taken to the county jail
and will be held by the sheriff until
the affair has been fully investigated.
II is stated that he might probably be
charged with manslaughter, for shoot
ing a revolver in a place such as a
train.
Keilland was about 20 years of age
and had been to the lake during the
evening for an outing. He had been
working at DinwoOdey's for some time
and those who knew him have only
words of highest praise for him.
Brazier, who did the shooting, has
been working at Saltair since the sea-
son opened and was very popular
among those with whom he worked.
He is about 20 years of age.

state of Ohio. The facts have been
stated. No one has denied them. and
when an attempt was made to make
them pay a just sum, the supreme
court said the law was not sufficient
TO make them pay.
Monopolies Exempt.
1.-THE Republican leaders have car
ried out a corrupt bargain to make the
people of Ohio pay more than their
share of taxes in order that those own
ing monopOlies living outside the state
should pay less. That is what we con-
denim IN the state legislature"
He condemned the state legislature
for its effort to prevent the taxation Of
street railway property in Cleveland
and Cincinnati at a fair rate.
When Mayor Johnson had finished
his speech he invited questions from
his hearers. He was asked as to a
remedy for trusts. Replying, the
mayor said that the campaign for fair
er taxes Instituted in Ohio, would, he
thought. remove a great many of the
objections now held against trusts. He
said that the immense holdings of the
United States Steel corporation did not
necessarily make il an Objectionable
corporation. but that justice was not
done the people in the matter of its
immensely valuable ore and other min
