WOMAN SHOOTS
 NOTEp LAWYER
EX.SenatOr Arthur Brown of Utah Fatally Wounded by DiS-
 Carded ParamOur.
By cnbla to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Dec lO-EX- Senator Arthur Brown of Utah was shot here Saturday evening by Mrs. Annie Bradley of Salt Lake City, and k dyiug. The woman says she has no regrets. Brown refused to marry her although he was the father of her two youngest children.
 The relations of Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley were a Salt Lake City scandal few years ago. Brown be- came infatuated with the woman, who was widow with children, and be- cause of their relations Mrs. Brown obtained a divorce. Brown then re- fused to marry Mrs. Bradley. Both he and the woman were prosecuted for unlawful cohabitation and the woman pleaded guilty, as she said, in order to convict Brown, but he succeeded in banllng the prosecution. The woman had been jogging his footsteps ever since.
 Arthur Brown is one of the ablest lawyers in the west and has lived in Utah almost thirty years. He was a native of Michigan and deserted a wife and children there to run away with the woman who divorced him twenty years later because of his amour with Mrs. Bradley. He was one of the first senators from Utah, elected in 1896 but drew the short term and when Utah went democratic in the silver craze of that year he lost his seat in 1897.

Eddie" Beckwith had lived in Sew ard since the spring of 1904 and had worked as a dealer in nearly every gambling house in town. He was a gentlemanly little fellow and was well liked. Before becoming gambler he was a purser on Alaska steamers and at one time was steward of the Fara- lon. He was well-educated and it is said that he was graduate, or at least an ex-student of Yale university.
 Beckwith had been living with Der nice Markell for a long time. Last summer they went to Valdez and re- turned here when gambling closed down. It is said that Bernice became enamored of gambler there. Soon after her return to Seward she went back to Valdez and Beckwith followed a few days afterward on the Portland, leaving here Thanksgiving Day. It was not known here that he and the woman were on the Northwestern un- til the news came of his suicide.

 DR0WNS AT SEA
Jumps Overheard in Mid-Ocean from Steamer Northwest.
 ern and Is Lost.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.


 Seattle, Dec. lO-E. T. Beckwith of Seward jumped overheard from the steamer Northwestern in mid-ocean last Thursday and was lost. He rushed suddenly from his stateroom and jumped over the rail into the water before anyone suspected his in- tention. The steamer was stopped but no trace of the missing man could be found
 Beckwith was accompanied on the trip down by Bernice Markell, who says she was married to him q month ago. It is said by Seward men who also came on the Northwestern that Beckwith and the woman had been living together for long time in that town.
 On the trip Beckwith became very jealous of attentions shown the woman by M. B. MorriSey of Seward, an em- ploye of the Alaska Central This is admitted by the woman, who refuses to say very much about the matter. Beckwith had been drinking hard for some time.
 The Northwestern arrived here Sat urday evening.
