PETERS is VISITED
BY TWO OFFICIALS

Among the callers who went to the
hospital to see Mr.. Peters were Assist
ant County Attorney F. c. Loofbourow
and Captain Burbidge of the police
department. The visit of the two off,
Gals was the only effort that was made
yesterday TO learn anything officially
concerning the part Peters had played
IN the tragedy of the night before. The
trip was made for the purpose of Sc
curing deposition from the wounded
man stating the facts in the case as he
knew them
They were prevented however from
securing the desired facts because of
the sudden nausea which attacked the
wounded man. He remained sick dur
ing the greater part OF their visit and
they were compelled to postpone their
Official investigation until he had re-
covered sufficiently to be able to talk.
The visit was made before the death
Of McCaslin was reported but as soon
as that was learned the proposed dep
osition was abandoned. Even in the
event Of Peters recovery a statement
Of the facts would be Of no benefit after
the death OF the man who performed
the tragedy.

MUCH SYMPATHY FOR
YOUNG WOMAN VICTIM

Lying in the morgue of Joseph VIII
liam Taylor is the dead body of Miss
LOttie Russell. the victim of the insane
act of McCaslin. Numbers of people
crowded the mOrgue yesterday to view
the remains OF the beautiful girl.
Friends were few, because she had only
lived in the city a short time, and had
known a limited number of people But
many had seen her at the Salt Palace,
and knew who she was. They called to
see the girl because they had heard of
the horrible manner Of her death.
Shortly after the fatal shot was fired
she was taken to the hospital but ex-
pired on the way. She was left at the
hospital only a few inmates, and then
removed to the morgue, where she was
prepared for burial. By the mother and
friends of the young woman it was de-
cided last night to hold the funeral ser
vices over the remains of the dead girl
Monday afternoon at o'clock, at the
residence Of Mrs Sarah Z. Heath, 1856
West Sixth South street. These ar
engagements may possibly be changed,
however, should the request be made by
the relatives who live in the east that
the remains be shipped TO her old home

the mother of the murdered girl. For
hours she was kept in ignorance of the
fatal wound of her daughter Early
yesterday morning, however, she wor-
ried and fretted at the absence of her
daughter until told of her death.

asked the doctor. She has never stayed
out this late at night before
After her insistent pleadings that he

her daughter had met with an accident
ana had been removed to a hospital
She was only injured, he said, as the
result Of the accident. and that was
the reason she had not returned to her
mother With her fears somewhat paci-
fed, but by no means allayed, the
woman at last refrained from asking
further until yesterday, when she was
told The grief of the mother was pitt
ful in the extreme, and is regarded as
critical, on account Of her illness.
She has been under the care of a
physician almost constantly since her
arrival. and has been in q dangerous
condition Grave fears are entertained
by those who are interested in the case
as to the result of her knowledge of the
tragedy in which her daughter was a
victim. The list of dead may be in
creased to four, should she not be able
TO rally from the shock.

SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS FIGHT
FlERCELY ON CALDER'S PARK CAR

Panic reigned on a CaIder's park car
last night when twelve OF fifteen SOL
diers took possession and proceeded to
eject other passengers from their seats.
Some Of the pasSe myers obeyed the
command to vacate while others re-
sisted and a desperate fight ensued in
which two shots were fired and a num-
Der of wounds We're inflicted by fists
and clubs. The bullets went wild.
The car was one of the latest to leave
the park and ran rapidly towards the
city. 1t was crowded with passengers,
large number of whom were soldiers
The soldiers, as we'll as numbers of the
other passengers were intoxicated, ac-
cording to the police. When the car
had come several blocks in the direc-
ton of the city one of the soldiers at
tempted to engage the attention of a
young woman who was escorted by a
young man. The young man objected
and a fight followed in which the SOL
der was getting decidedly the worst Of
ii. His companions went to his rescue
and other passengers at once took sides
with the civilian.
