C. r, West. a miner aged IS years
who came TO Salt Lake on Sunday last
met q shocking death at the American
roominghouse last night, The
man had some money with
him when he came to town
This fact has led to the doubt as to
whether the mans death was the re-
suit of an accident or whether he was
murdered, but today the police are
more inclined to the foremr theory than
the latter
He was found about O'Clock last
night on the pavement on Commercial
street close to the walls Of the roomlng
house His skull was fractured In sever
al places and his right leg was so badly
schattered that the bone protruded an
inch or more through the flesh. Imme-
diately after he was found the police
were notified and the injured man was
taken to the Holy Cross hospital where
he expired at l:15 O'Clock this morning
lie never regained consciousness after
falling to the pavement From all that
the police have been able to learn SO
far, the man either fell or'was pushed
from window on the third story o. the
building. Last night they were sus-
picious of the latter, and as a result
they arrested a negro named Ike
Hughes, who rOomed in the building
and who had some trouble with West
on Sunday.
1t was reported last night that when
West came to town he had $50. with
him, but the police have since learned
that he had less than $50 and that $40
of this amount was deposited with Fritz
Riepen at the latter's saloon Al the
time ne was found. West only had 81

had been drinking heavily and last
night he entered the roominghouse with
a bottle Of whisky. He offered a drink
10 the proprietor, Fritz Ertmann, but
the latter declined. According 70 Ert-
mann. West sat on the window and
must have remained there up TO the
time OF the fall. Several other persons
saw him on the window. but no one saw
him fall, so far as is known There
were many conflicting statements last
night but they arose through the exc
West. one was that before sitting on
the window he drank all the whisky,
That cannot be true for the good and
sufficient reason that the bottle con-
tanning nearly all Of the whisky Is now
in the possession of the police Only
three drinks have been taken out Of It,
and they were taken by Hughes. the
negro. according TO the latter's admits

up 10 his room last night. he saw the
whisky near his door. He said he pick
