HIS LIFE FOR THE TREASURE.
Diamond Dealer Found Murdered In
Front of His Safe.

FRONT OF his Sa5e.
Rochester. N. Y, jan. u. - Bella z
Brown, aged sixty-five. a prominent
dealer in diamonds and manufacturer
OF jewelry, was found murdered In his
store here last night. His legs We're
tied together. and he was gagged with
a long red neck scarf. II the back OF
the head was a hole extending into the
brain, and there were several gashes
in the scalp, evidently made by a ham,
mer, which was found near the body
smeared with blood and white hairs
from the head of the victim. The muir
dered mans head was covered with
blood and a pool Of 1t formed on top OF
a small chest OF drawers over which the
head lay. All about were evidences OF a
determined struggle but a thorough
search failed TO discover any positive
clue as to the identity OF the murder
ers. From the position Of the body in
front of the safe the conclusion was
reached by the police that the murder
ers had placed Mr.. Brown before the
safe, which was locked, and which CON
tanned thousands OF dollars worth OF
diamonds and jewelry. and tried to
force him TO work the combination for
them. His right hand was covered with
blood, indicating that he had raised IT
to his head. when he was struck, and
tried to ward off the other blows which
followed. The murderers secured moth
ing of value, perhaps a diamond stud
which Mr.. Brown wore, and which was
missing.

Great Falls. Mont. IAN. 17.-United
States Senator Paris Gihscn. In response
10 a query as to his sentiments on the
question OF the railroad merger, has
made the following reply:
"As I am not a lawyer. ! viii venture
no opinion as TO tte legal rights of the
Northern Securities company. What we
in Montana wish 10 know is the effect
that this control of stock viii have upon
our state. II seems TO me improbable
that under this railway merger the in
dustries of the Northwe2s viii be IN
any manner crippled. l cannot see
where a harmony OF railway interests
would be detrimental 10 us. On the
contrary. IL is my belief that. more than
ever before, 1t would be the desire or
the railway companies 10 build up the
farming. mining and manufacturing in
dustries OF our state.
Progressive Rate Reductions
"The railway companies doing BUSH
ness in Montana are taking a more live
iy interest than ever before in the set
Element of the state, ms in h subject
OF national aid to Irrigation. which IS
the real foundation for our future pros
perity.
For many past the Great
Northern Railway company has reduced
its Western freight tariffs from time to
time. clearly on the theory that sach
reduction would tend 20 the upbuilding
OF the country, and. consequently, TO
increase its freight tonnage. Tt is sim
ply absurd to contend that the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur-
iington companies would use great eff
forts to establish farm colonies and
manufacturing interests along their
lines and then impose a rate on grain
and manufactured products that would
destroy or cripple the farms and the
mills. We should not forget that 1t IS
for the interest of these railways that
Montana should have more people,
more farms. more productive mines and
more cattle and sheep than it has ever
had before"
