The Republican party has won all

that the just rights Of capital and the
real welfare Of the people are one and
the same. 1t believes that all honest

the Republican party stands as a de-

feature which makes the occur
renee seem more shocking was the
fact that the young mans lfeless body
was found by his mother. The grue-
some sight completely uuneryed her
and she is now IN highly nervous
state. The cause for the rash act Is
attributed jointly to IN health, and the
fact that recently Crosby had a mis-
understanding with II young woman
with whom he was deeply in love.

Mrs. James F. Crosby. had been em-
ployed for some time on the Bamber-

spread and In a short time a large
crowd OF excited persons gathered. The
body was removed 10 an Undertaking

been the best of late, and also that
about month ago he was Tilted by a

perately in love. At thar time Crosby
attempted 10 kill himself in Salt Lake
