Trio of Youthful Adventures
From Provo Are Caught
While Buying DeIicacies.
ROBBED GROCERY STORE

ING THEFT.

A trio of bold, bad burglars, with
pockets bullying with gold and candy,
were arrested yesterday noon by Detec-
tive Wheeling at the Royal cafe, where
Trey were filling themselves with ice
cream and sweetmeats.
The burglar trio consisted of William
krCGpe, Is years old, Maurice Beebe and
Herbert Slater, each u years old, and all
from Provo. Though they were amateurs
at the housebreaking game, they burglar
lied store at Provo and stole S153 in a
manner that would be credit to the most
practiced yegg man.
In some way young Slater secured the
key to Perry's grocery store at Provo and
planned the robbery. He magnanimously
allowed his two little companions to
share in the enterprise. They arranged a
meeting Wednesday night and stealthily
made their WAY to the grocery

Have Plenty Money Left.

At the station. after a severe sweating
process, the young robbers admitted that
they had entered the Provo grocery store,
but claimed that they had stolen only $40.
This was found on one of the boys when
searched. Finally Beebe broke down and
produced q bag containing five $50 gold
pieces. which he had hidden. They then
confessed to the chief and told how they
had spent the remainder Of the loot. One
boy had purchased a gold ring while the
rest bought candy and peanuts by the dol

How Trick Was Turned.

At an opportune time two of the boys
entered the store while the other stayed
on watch. The two inside broke open the
cash drawer and stole the money bag, and
then the three ran to the depot, where
they caught a train to Salt Lake. In the
stolen money bag they found S153. The
boys were overwhelmed at the surfeit of
wealth, and during the two days preced-
ing their capture they lived in luxury,
dining often at the Royal cafe. where they
ordered all the expensive delicacieS the
place afforded.
This fact proved their undoing, for the
proprietor of the cafe became suspicious
at the lavish expenditures of the lads and
notified the police Detective Wheeling
was sent after the youthful housebrea kers
and they were brought to the office of
Chief Sheets. When the detective reached
the restaurant the boys were enjoying a
course dinner and resented the interior

ARTHUR BROWN
IN MONEY RUSH
Effect of Desire for Great
Wealth on Mans
~, sH:I
miiiu.
NO DECISION IN CASE
WILL HAVE ANOTHER TRIAL DE-
GENDER is.

CraVed by-a mad desire for fabulous
wealth and Che powers it would bring,
and believing that all of the powers of
nature would unite to make him mil
lions in a few days, Arthur Brown was
changed f.,om the cool, shrewd, calcu-
lating financia student, to one mentally
irresponsible and not accountable for
his acts.
These were the deductions made from
the testimony of q dozen witnesses
called before Judge George G. Arm
strong in the criminal division of the
district court yesterday to testify as to
the mental condition of the young man.
The result of the examination of the
witnesses was that Judge Armstrong,
under the showing made, was unwilling
TO pass sentence upon the young man
until a more searching and thorough
investigation is had TO establish the
condition of his mind. and TO determine
IL he is accountable for his acts.
At the conclusion of the trial of Ar
thur Brown several weeks ago, on a
charge Of forgery, the date for pass
ing sentence was postponed until last
week. when Judge Orlando W. Powers.
attorney for the young man. asked that
"a stay of execution be granted until
yesterday in order that an inquiry
might be instituted to examine into his
sanity. This was granted and the hear
Ing was had yesterday.
Many Witnesses Examined.
The witnesses examined We're from
various ranks and walks of life, all of
whom had known Brown for from one
10 twelve or fifteen years, as well as
members of his family.
In the order of their examination the
witnesses. were William Igleheart. As

Brown: Harry Gushing, A. II. Crabbe,
DR.. Jay ]. Snyder, Harvey Jones, Judge
James D. Pardee, William Brown,
brother of the defendant, and T. NJ.
Orem, formerly his employer.
The testimony brought out was to the
effect that Brown, who had formerly
Eeen considerate and thoughtful of the
needs of the members of the family,
had neglected them to q certain extent
during the few months preceding his
trouble, and that while the family need
ed money he had given $1.700 to a man
who was a comparative stranger.

LIFE INSURANCE,
It's Early Struggles and Reverses I,
This Country.

It's Early Struggles and Reverses In
This Country.
The origin Of insurance in this coun-
try dates from 1852 and had its first
beginning in Philadelphia.
The first company was the Philadel-
phia Contributionship For the Insur.
ance of Houses From Losses by Fire,
and its insignia was four clasped hands,
which was it's house badge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old
time houses. The company survived
till 1S47. In 1872 the first life insur-
ance company was founded in the
same city. 1t was called the Universal
Tontine The next year similar COM
panies were started In Boston and In
New York. Its avowed aim was ''for
the purpose Of raising fund upon lives
to be applied to charitable and other
uses" Its subscription books were
opened on March %, and five general
agents were appointed.
summer, but in November Of that year
a general meeting Of the subscribers
was called, and the idea Of a general
Insurance company was suggested and
met with approval. The proposition
was referred to q committee, and ut an
adjourned meeting held at the state
house on Nov. - it was resolved that
"the Universal Tontine association be
and Is hereby changed from its original
object and converted into society to
be called the Insurance Company Of
North America" Its first policy was
issued to John Maxwell Nesbitt, its
president, for s5,333.33. 1t wrote both
fire and life insurance, but paid atten-
ton chiefly to the former and gradual
ly dropped life insurance altogether.
In January, 1874, it considered the
policy Of insuring persons against cap
ture by the Algerians and insured Cap
tain John Collet ION his person against
Algerians and other Barbary corsairs
in voyage from Philadelphia to Lon
don in the ship George Barclay, him
self master, valuing himself at S5,000."
The premium charged was 2 per cent.
Two similar policies were issued, but
the. premium was increased to per
cent. Two similar policies were Is
sued, approved, ore on the life Of John
Holker, from June to Sept 19, for
$4,000, at ~ per cent premium, and
one on the life Of Albert Briois de Beau
mez. for eighteen calendar months, in
the sum Of $4,000. The demand for
insurance on life was light, and the
business, which was finally abandoned
by the first company, was not revived
until 1920, when Hartford men took it
up and kept it running till it gained
the great prosperity Of modern times.

A Good Suggestion.

I wish to say something through
your paper, to our Senator md Repre-
sentatiyes, that I mad rather some
wiser head had tackled, but as no one
has seen fit to do so: I make bold to
offer suggestion. 1t is in regard to
tax returns. A law should be passed
making it the duty of the township
board OF eoualizers to take all returns
thereby relieving the auditor OF that
work. The three members OF each
township board should be very care
fully selected in different parts of the
township to do the work. Allow them
reasonable pay and time to make a
thorough canvass of the township, see
each man personally, look at the prop
erty with the owner, and together ar
rive at proper valuation. Under the
present system the Auditor makes q
canvass of the entire county, and OF
course has to take the word of the man
MAKING Gne return.
Mr.. 3. has pair of mules that cost
him S40O, which he returns at 5000 per-
sumably because his neighbors stock
is returned at 500 per head. He has a
bedroom set that cost him $40. and he
returns his entire household goods at
about $40. or $50 He has 3 or dogs
and returns. one. Now. if the tax man
was on the spot, these dogs would very
probably meet him at the gate and
there would be better return made.
I venture the assertion that if some
thing on this line was adopted, there
would be enough worthless ours added
to the list to pay all extra expense
Taking it for granted that the very
best men in the township has been ap-
pointed on the board, they cannot pos
sibly remember every piece of property
in the township that has not been re-
turned.
There is abundant room for enlarge
ment all along the line, but | feel like
further comment is unnecessary. ex-

our lawmakers may see this and act
upon it, or give reason for MT doing
so. Ieurs truly,

We have watched the legisla-
tive proceedings with the hope
that something would be done to
relieve the present uncertain
condition about making tax re-
turns and up to the present we
cannot see where there is any
disposition to provide for the
asked for increased assessment.
The Comptroller has realized
that to fix a levy before the
property assessment is made
will be unsatisfactory and work
an injury to those who comply
with his instructions, yet, II
looks as if about the same levy
as last year will be made, and
then the man who has returned
his property at its true value,
unless the equalization board re
lieves him, will have imposed
upon him a very unjust and un-
equal taxation. Under the cir
cumstances we cannot advise
our readers to make their returns
at the full value. We cannot
give advice which we know will
result in injustice, and therefore
must insist that no attention be
paid to the full value require
ment until provision has been
made to protect the honest man
from being taken advantage Of.

A Kind Word.
Editor The Manning Times.

Editor The Manning Times.
Your admiring reader hasn't time to
prepare anything worthy of publica-
tion, but he would assure you Of the
deep interest he takes in the affairs Of
Clarendon's pretty county seat and the
policy of THE TINES. No article ap-
pears in your columns which is designed
primarily for buncombe: nor yet for
self-aggrandiZemeut, but in every edi-
torial sincerity and high purpose are
evident. The writer does not always
agree with the editor. but he cannot
out admire his vigorous presentation
of his views. Without any effort at
literary display he sends out each week
paper teeming with timely criticism,
written in elear-cut English, but. de-,
void OF sophomore fulminatlons. - .
1t is difficult to decide what is best
about THE TINES. Probably i it were
lacking in it's other excellences it would
still be leader because of the readl-
ness of the editor to approach ques-
tions of great moment, and after that,
his ability to grapple with them. Old
Clarendon is safe, for her welfare is
guarded by q free and unfettered press.
Yours,

The dispensary investigating
committee extended an invitation
to Senator Tillman to come be-
fore it and testify. The commit
tee could not summons Tillman
while the Senate is in session
the law exempts him from arrest
except for certain crimes-but
the Invitation is in effect a sum-
mons which put it up to Tillman
to accept or decline and take the
consequences. The Senator ac-
cepted and wired his intention
to be in Columbia yesterday in
stead of Friday, the day set by
the committee
Things have reached a pretty
pass in this dispensary investi-
cation, when the committee is
forced, on account Of threats
from a member of the board Of
directors, to ask police protec-
ton for the witnesses which ap-
pear to testify, ano then we note
there is an effort on the part Of
the State dispensary to call of
the Investigation, and this move
is expected to be made in the
closing hours when there will be
a rush. and probably the oppo-
sition out of the hall. In our
Judgment, to call off the investi-
cation now would be an admis-
sion of a desire to keep secret
the acts and doings Of some who
have not yet been exposed, and
if these men are innocent the
stopping of the investigation
would indeed be a great injus-
tice and leave a stain upon the
characters Of every man who had
something to do with the early
transactions Of the dispensary.
Let the light be thrown on,
whether it hurts political idols
or not, the people are entitled to
know il they have been robbed,
and who are the thieves.
