FOX INQUEST.
Trinidad Jury Fastens Crime Of Muir
der on johnson.


Denver, April ia Trinidad dis
patch last night says: The coroner's
inquiry into the death of John H. Fox
Saturday afternoon was held this
morning. All witnesses who knew any
thing about the events leading up to
and connected with the tragedy testi-
fed and the jury promptly returned a
verdict charging Joe johnson with the
crime and finding that the fatal shot
was fired with felonious intent.
Sheriff Davis issued statement last
evening to the effect that johnson did
not hold deputy sheriff's commission.
Sheriff Davis said:
Il want to correct two false reports
which, / understand. have been gen.
orally circulated. One is that Johnson
had gun given to him before we
started to the train. That is utterly
false and want to say right here that
he would have been handcuffed then IL
he had been able to make decent time
running that way. We put the irons
on him as soon as we reached the car
and they didn't come off.
1.-The other false report is that John
son was deputy of mine. He has
never held commission from me since
/ have been in office. l did think OF
sending him after Shoblo, but had I
done SO would have given him his
commission the night before he left.
He would have had to surrender 1t at
once on his return, as he is not man
l care to have among my deputies. The
records of this Office will show that he
never was deputized since 1 have been
in office.
What feelings the people have to-
ward me, do not know. / had only
one thing to do and that was my duty.
l would have done it at all costs,
whether we had been successful in get
ting Johnson away or not. / cherish
no ill-feeling toward any one. The
provocation the people of this city had
was great. I had no business to think
or to feel, only my duty to do, and
what that was to bring me / did not
know. 1 thank God we got Johnson
away.
Joe Johnson has wife and four lit
tie children. the Oldest girl Of eight
years. They live in a pretty little
house on Vine street. Yesterday morn
ing Mrs. johnson took her children and
went to the ranch below the city, be-
ing unable to endure the curious stares
of neighbors and citizens, to whom
they had become objects of curiosity
and pity.

BROWNELL-In the city Of At
lanta, Ca, at a. m. on Monday,
Oct. 30, 1905, Miss Lucia Br0wnell,
born Oct. Is. 1857, at Plaisance, now
known az Paramount, departed this
life aged 48 years and IL days.
She was the daughter Of Mrs. Pom
ella Brownell, and the mother is now
the only surviving member of the
family. In February of this year
Miss Lucia's brother Clarence died
with pneumonia in the city OF Alex
andria. and only a few weeks later
her brother Charles dropped dead
from heart failure while attending to
business, so this makes the third
death in the family within the year.
Miss Lucia had been an invalid for a
number OF years. and her death was
caused by a cancer. AS a girl this
writer remembers her al being very
beautiful and of q most lovable dis
position, which she maintained
throughout her lie, and always had
a host of warm friends and admirers.
To her aged and grief stricken moth
er we tender our most heartfelt con
dolence and sympathy, whose sor-
rows we feel sure win be comforted
by the reflection that her daughter
has gone to join the Redeemer she
loved and served SO well while here
on earth.
The remains are expected to b
brought to Alexandria and buried Ii
the PinevilIe cemetery, where her two
brothers have been buried
