TRIAL OF TOM BROWN.
Young ParTiclde Does Not Realize
EnOrmity of Crime.

Chehalis, Wash, April .25.-The
trial of Tom Brown, the 17-year-old
paricide, on the charge of murder.
The lad is changed in demeanor as
the result of months of imprison-
ment, although he retains the air of
wonder and amazement that his act
should cause so much commotion.
1t was December 23 that the boy
shot and killed his father, Thomas
Brown, a short distance from his
home near Eagleton. The crime was
done deliberately, for the lad secured
a rifle and lay in wait for the man.
After the crime had been committed
the boy surrendered himself and told
the jailer next morning that he be-
lieved he would go home, for his
mother needed him to milk the cows
and attend to the farm. He has never
understood why his request was de-
MED.
The elder Brown borrowed his
sons horse December 23 to haul hay.
Late in the evening as the boy was
preparing to attend a Christmas
dance. he thought of the horse and
went to see about the animal. He
found his father beating it. He pro-
tested and the father is said to have
threatened him.
He ran home, tearing away planks
from bridges as he went so as to i'm
pede his fathers progress, and secur-
ed a rifle. Then he went back to
meet the man who threatened him.
He lay behind a log on the roadside
and opened fire when the man ap-
proached.' He walked IL miles TO
surrender himself at the suggestion
of his uncle.
over so witnesses have been sum-
moned and the defense announce
that they are prepared to prove a
long series OF acts of brutality and
scoundrelism inflicted by the elder
Brown upon the members of his
family and domestic animals upon the
place.

when President Roosevelt would re-

As previously stated in these dis

government holds strongly to the
opinion that now that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky is ready to strike, before
the issue is put to the test would be
the most opportune time for opening

st. Petersburg, April 25.-WhiIe
giving an audience to the marshal of
nobility of Kostroma at Tsarko Selo,
the emperor said:
my will regarding the convocation
of representatives of the people is un-
swerving, and the minister of the in
terror is making every effort for its
speedy realization"
This message is evidently intended
to quiet the fears of the people that
the promises of the czar's rescript will
not be fulfilled.

Milwaukee, April 25.-Despite the
assurances of business men and
strong financiers that all depositors
of the First National Bank will be
paid dollar for dollar, an immense
crowd of people began to gather in
front of the bank at an early hour
this morning. At $3.50 a long line
had formed and was kept in order
by a heavy body of police. The crowd
showed evidences of being panic
stricken.
Crowds of people waited long be-
fore the opening of the doors of the
Milwaukee Trust Company, despite
all assurances that the concern is not
involved by the financial troubles of
the First National Bank, or Bigelow
personally. The latter was director
of the trust company. but was remov-
ed as soon as his defalcation became
known.
BY 9:45 the crush of people at the
doors of the First National reached
an aggregate of 5000. There was no
disorder aside from ordinary pushing
and showing.
Paying All Demands.
Both concerns opened at 8 and be-
gan to pay every demand. Thomas
Spence, a well known real estate man,
escorted by 10 policemen, pushed
through the crowd and deposited
$4,000. The crowd cheered him, but
the line did not diminish. Bigelow
admits a deficit of $1,O00,000 in the
bank funds.
Nearly 100 policemen are trying to
preserve order, but it is difficult
work.
The directors of the First Nation
al held a meeting this morning and
issued a statement declaring it will
meet every demand. No other local
banks are affected as yet. Bigelow
is said to be in good spirits.
Clearing House Vouches.
The Clearing House association has
declared the First National perfectly
safe. and 1t is paying all demands.
Director Beggs. of the First National,
and also of the trust company, says
the 30-day withdrawal notice may
be enforced by the trust company.
One million dollars from Chicago
banks, were poured into the Golfers
of the First National today.
Bigelow did not appear at the bank
today, but remained at home. He
will probably appear before the fed
eral grand jury May 10. 1t is re-
ported Coll has been arrested in Chi
cago.
The First National Bank this
morning announced it would enforce
the 30-days notice rule in its saw
ings department.
Worst is Over.
Toward noon the crowd began to
thin out and 1t is believed the worst
of the run is over. The enforcement
OF the rule did not cause any trouble,
the people taking the announcement
calmly and dispensing quietly.

Many deaths have occurred
recently in eastern cities with
the thermometer registering in
many instances hardly ninety
degrees in the shade. This
seems strange to a good many
who have seen the thermometer
register above this mark here
with not a thought Of fatal re-
suits. However, here it. is warm
for only a few hours while in the
east it is warm twenty-four hours.
Too, there are many times when
a thermometer in Colorado easily
registers from one to ten degrees
more than it ordinarily should
owing to the lightness of the air
and close proximity to the sun.

GRAND MESA SUMMER RESORT.

There is but little doubt that
Grand mesa will, in the years to
come be one Of the greatest sum-

the west. The mesa has all the
attractions of an ideal summer
and outing resort. It is large
enough to accommodate almost
any number and is the greatest
natural fishing ground in the
state. With q chain of twenty
seven lakes and 80 situated as to
be one of the best natural spawn
ing grounds there is no fear Of a
scarcity Of angling, Up to this
time the lakes have contained
only the native trout, but the
government is now stocking sew
eral Of the lakes with rainbow
and eastern trout. Although
hundreds inhabit the mesa from
the time the season opens until
cold weather there has never yet
been q lack of fish, in fact since
the government hatcheries have
been established there the fish
have seemed to accumulate faster
than before and sesm to have
increased rsther than diminish.
All who have visited the mesa
say that It is one Of the greatest
natural parks Of the country.
