Not Known in MINNEAPOLIS.

There are four John Monsons in Min
neapolis and three of them We're seen by
T h u a today. They knew
nothing of the affair in Red Lodge. The
fourth lives in North Minneapolis and is
known to have a good record.
- Police Superintendent Conrcy said this
morning that if Monsoon feared arrest it
was not for an offense here. There has
been no complaint made to the police
concerning man of this name and no
warrant has been sworn out. The police
think that if the young man lived here
it was for short time only.

seen here I'm good health so recently,
that the whole Of railroad row seemed
stunned
The first news of the event cane by
wire to Mr.. Neslin of the Burlington.
II stated merely that Mr.. Rockwell
died yesterday Of pneumonia. Tho de-
tails received thus Ear show that he had
received two trains Of cattle nj Cald.
well for his firm and started east with
them. When only ~ miles out OF town
he became suddenly Ill., He was taken
back to Caldwell and his son, who was
along, was so alarmed that he wired for
his mother, who was In Galesburg, jill.
She started Immediately and passed
through Salt Lake this morning only
to learn that she was too late to see
her husband alive.
Mr.. Rockwell was formerly live
stock agent for the Burlington out Of
Denver but he spent as much time In
Utah as In ColQAfo. Everybody was
glad to know Am in those days anB
when, finally, he became n partner In
the live stock firm Of Balentync 4
Rockwell he added largely to that ac-
uuaintance. IL was IN Salt Lake only
last Wednesday and Thursday hale
and hearty, Boosting Of his good health

San Pedro is Likely to Extend

Soon.
CLARK is MUCH INTERESTED.
Senator viii Use His Influence II Met
allurgist's Report Is Favorable
Death of Fred Rockwell.

The San Pedro has covetous eye
on Phoebe. 1t is the opinion of at least
one well known official that recent de-
velopments I'm that neighborhood will
lead the railroad company to soon head
It's spikes In that direction While
nothing conclusive Is known Of the re-
cent report submitted by Prof, George
W Maynard to his eastern clientele
concerning the Phoebe Con. Mining
company's interests, Il is generally be-
llcyed that the report was favorable.
In this event, Senator CLARK. who has
identified himself with the undertaking,
will Undoubtedly urge It upon the SIM
Pedro to extend into that camp. OF
course the resources Of the Phoebe
country have long been known to rail-
road and mining men and ii Is not
likely that the San Pedro win permit
them to go uncherlshed. The tonnage
from that source today, according to
the News" informant, ought TO be,
with favorable tariffs. equal to that OF
any locality that the San Pedro will tap
on It's journey to the coast. To old
timers this Is no secret.

An Appeal to Make Test Case In
Supreme Court.

Upon the instructions Of Judge Morse
the jury in the case Of the state Of
Utah VS.. S. j. Kelley, charged with for
gerry this morning returned verdict
Of not guilty. Judge Morse sustained
the motion, made by Attorney L. r.
Rogers yesterday afternoon, to quash
the information on the ground that 1t
did not charge public offense. The
attorney for defendant then requested
that the jury be instructed to return
verdict Of not guilty, ana the request
was granted ard the verdict returned
by the jury without the formality of
leaving the jury box.
a motion to quash was argued at
length yesterday afternoon and II was
contended by Attorney Rogers that,
under the statutes, the instrument,
which 1t Is alleged was forged by Kel-
ley, Is not such one that can be
forged 1t was charged that the de-
PENDANT forged the name OF g. ii. Ohm
stead, division superintendent of the
Oregon Short Line, to a clearance let
ter made out in favor of Emil r.
Densch. Judge Morse In ruling on the
motion said that there are 70 different
instruments specified In the statutes
which can be forged but that clear
ance letter Is not named, hence 1t Is
evident that such an instrument is not
subject to a forgery
District Attorney Smith gave notice

of this city has retired from the exec

Southern Pacific Railroad company. He
has long been a prominent factor In the

Herald, will cause great surprise In

resignation was handed In two weeks
ago, although persons in a position TO
know absolutely refuse TO discuss the
matter or 10 make public Hawley's rea-
sons. Difference Of opinion with the
Hartman interests over the manage
ment Of the Alton railroad Is, however,
thought to have beei the cause.
MIR Hawley began his railroad career
In 1867 and for years was one Of the
late Coils + Huhtngton's trusted
agents In the development Of the South
ern Pacific. lie was best known as gem
eral traffic managet although his

partments. He is credited with having
