EIks' Home Robbery

The Reno Journal contains the fol-
lowing particulars of the robbery OF
the Elks' home at Reno Sunday night: /:
The thieves gained an entrance to
the place by bursting In door. They
secu ed a dozen quart bottles of cham :.
payne, afterwards endeavoring TO sell
the wine TO Chinese merchant for 81
per bottle. The Chinaman refused to
buy and reported the fact to the po-
lice yesterday morning. A few hours
later Officer Mefily arrested George b.
Slyke. a colored man. on suspicion OF
being one of the burglars. So confident
are the officers that they have the right
man that a charge of burglary Will
probably be entered against his name
today. Slyke was employed for few
days as janitor at the Elks' home. The
place is so situated that the wine would
be difficult to find except by person
acquainted with the interior of the
building. This led OF the officers sus-
pecting the fellow. When he was
placed in Jail he denied knowledge of
the crime.

NORTON MURDER At
JASPER
Details of the Killing Brought
Out at COrOner'S In
quest at lOdnO

Toano, New, April 27.-Special tele-
gram to the Silver State.-Chauncey
w. Griswold of LeMoille Valley, a
sheep man, on Monday shot and killed
William Norton of Toano, another
sheep man. near Jasper. about fifty
miles south of here, after some words
over sheep range.
Griswold was out looking for his lost
band of sheep At Jasper he met
Norton. He asked Norton if he had
seen any stray sheep and Norton re-
piled:
II have not. but think there is band
just over the hill"
Griswold then said to Norton:
II own one hundred acres of land
here and you are lambing your sheep
on my ground"
Norton said, You're a liar!" and
Griswold shot him twice, both bullets
infiicting wounds just below the groin.
penetrating an artery and causing
Norton's almost instantaneous death
from loss of blood.
After Griswold had shot Norton once
Norton cried:
why did you shoot me? / had no
intentions of hurting you"
Grswold replied. why did you have
a gun in your scabbard?"
Norton did not reply. as he was then
unconscious.
Griswold then rode to a point about
mil hol
of the shooting and met John Boundy.
another sheep man from Toano. and
said to him:
II shot that man Norton. We had
a little quarrel and ! shot him. though
I'm damned sorry I did it. as I have
a fine family of three children and this
will brand them for generations"
He said to Bouncy:
"You had better go and get Norton
and | will go to Elko and surrender
myself
AS he left Boundy he said
II would give every sheep l have If
could only give Norton back his life"
Boundy then went to where Nortor
was lying and together with Norton's
brother brought the body to Toano,
where an inquest was held
Two distinct bullet holes are visi-
BILE. showing that Norton was shot
from the rear unaware. A Japanese
herder was the only eye witness to
the affair and he had to crawl on his
hands and knees two miles to get
away from Griswold. fearing he would
shoot him also.
This is the evidence as given by witt
nesses when the inquest was held last
night.
Norton was 81 years old, was well
liked wherever known. and was always
an upright and honest man.

THE CHURCH
!.
Will Not Answer Questions
Relative to Ceremony at
Endowment House

Washington. April 2s. - The Smoot
investigation before the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections was
opened today by Attorney Taylor for
'lhe prosecution, calling upon Moses
Thatcher to resume the stand. This
was for the identification of pamphlet
issued by Calvin Reasoner. purporting
to be an accurate account of the
Thatcher episode. The document was
put in the reco. d and the witness was
turned over to the defense for prose-
cution.
Mr.. Van Cott interrogated Mr..
Thatcher in regard to his views on
church interference in politics. The
witness said he had no fault to find
with the political rule. but in answer
to a question of Senator Dubois as to
the result of a Mo. mon official running
for political Office in opposition to
the wishes Of the church authorities.
he said:
1T might result as in any case, but
a free Anne lean citizen has the right
to retire from his church office. and 1
believe every man who loves his coun-
circumstances.
Mr.. Thatcher defended the church
and the political rule. He admitted.
however, that his views had been mod
flied in regard to church interference,
but insisted that he knew of no in
efo xx,ha oh. hoI
given or refused Mormon candidate
for political office.
Mr.. Thatcher stated that at the time
he was removed from the apostolate
he was in line for the presidency of the
church. He said he was dropped from
the rolls in April. 1896. and formal ac-
tGn was taken by his quorum in Mo-
vember, 1896. Continuing he said:
II suppose / am the ony man Of my
age in the Mormon church who has
no priesthood"
And you were denied the right to
enter the tempIe?" asked the chair
man.
Yes, sir"
He said he was denied entrance to
the temple by the doorkeeper at the
crder of the first presidency. and had
never made application since. and he
added:
And l am glad to say that I am a
free American citizen"
Since you were dropped as an
apostle = Chairman Burrows askel.
Yes. si,."
Mr.. Thatcher discussed his defeat in
larity of Former United States Sena-
tor Rawlins. and also of the church
opposition to his candidacy. All ques-
tions were answered with the excep-
ton of several by Chairman Burrows
in relation to the ceremony which Is
performed in the endowment house.
Il think | should be excused In re-
gard to that" replied the witness.
''Why?"
Because of the general sacredness
of the ceremony"
Have you taken any obligation not
to reveal ito"
II think I have"
What would be the effect II you
should disclose the nature of the obli-
CATION or ceremony?''
mo effect, except upon my con-
science"
No further effort was made to OBJ
tain a description of the ceremony,
and Mr.. Thatcher was excused.
The hearing was adjourned until to-
morrow at 10:30 and the committee
went into executive session.
Chairman Burrows was authorized to
present a resolution TO the senate re-
questing permission that the commits
sion be allowed to take testimony dur
ing the recess of congress. The pur-
pose is to authorize the committee to
proceed with the investigation In Utah.
