HARTMAN AT SEATTLE.
President Hill Makes an Offer to His
OppOnent

SEATTLE, Sept. 13.-Just as the Cor
porations committee OF the City Council
was prepared to grant a franchise into
Seattle for the Hartman extension to
Puget sound. James ]. Hill, president of
the Great Northern has offered TO open
a railroad right of way through 1000 feet
OF land he owns. IL other property own
ers Will donate similar strip through
5000 feet OF their holdings. He proposes
this right of way shall be used jointly
by his line and the Hartman system.
. Twice Hill has refused to make SINH
lar concessions. When he was here last
July he told the Council committee fiat
ly that he would not permit his property
to be cut in two by railroad lines, and
month ago he reiterated this state
ment In a letter to his local counsel
Both the Council and the property own
ers attempted to open up Fifth avenue
south to allow the Hartman line to en-
ter the city, In that manner. and upon
Hills refusal to consider the plan the
Corporations committee agreed to give
Hartman franchise on Fourth avenue
south, All details OF the Hartman
franchise had been agreed upon, when
Mr., Hills offer came. 1t is regarded
locally as q part of the Hill Hartman
railroad war and a move on Hills part
to delay action on the Hartman fran
chise
Hartman officials regard the Hill Of
fer as q request for a franchise of his
own, His road has been asking for a
switching track privilege on Sixth ave-
nue. south and the offer to lay tracks
on line OF Fifth avenue shifts the route
he had proposed for his own tracks. and
IL successful would compel the Hartman
line TO move also. Property owners in
the past have opposed q plan similar TO
the one Hill now suggests.

Clothing Torn From Body and
Scattered Distance of Over
a Mile.
IDENTITY OF VICTIM
NOT YET ESTABLISHED
Report That He was Brother Of
Well-KnOwn Citizen
DisprOyed.

The finding of the horribly mutilated
body OF man short distance north Of
the town OF Layton early Thursday fore
noon started the report In this city that
Herman Gentscb, n brother OF Theodore
Gentsch OF the Salt Lake Security and
Trust company. had been killed by All
Oregon Short Line train. 1t took but a
short time to disprove this report A
telegram sent to Pocatello, Ida. brought
the Information that the supposedly dead
man was alive and we'll In that city. Then
the officials set about an investigation
TO determine the identity OF the dead
man.
Met Horrible Fate.
All the evidence pointed 10 the theory
that he had fallen, or been thrown, from
fast moving train, had been dragged
several hundred yards by one train. back
over the same track by another one and
finally hurled into the ditch, cut and
battered beyond recognition. with his
clothing scattered in both directions from
the point where the body was found. a
distance OF over a mile. There were few
physical injuries that the body Of the un
fortunate had escaped in the terrible ex-
perience IL had gone through. The top Of
the skull was gone. the arms and legs
were all but severed from The body and
the trunk was simply 4 mass OF cuts and
bruises.
InVe5t1gat1on moves SLOWLY.
Notwithstanding the time the Layton
authorities had TO work on the case. 1t
seems to have presented such stubborn
resistance to their inquiries that they
were no nearer n solution of the mystery
when the day ended than they were with
in an hour after the body was picked up,
1t was finally decided to postpone the
investigation until today, when, beyond
a doubt. the Identity OF the dead man
will be positively established.
OF course, In view of the Investigations
of Mr., Theodore Gentsch, all supposition
that the dead man was his brother has
been abandoned. From the pocket OF
the tattered coat found by the track side
a soiled and torn letter was taken which
bore an almost indecipherable address
and signature. These were made out
C. l.. Hamlin, c., l.. Hamilton, and J. L.
Hamilton for the signature and Mrs. ].
E. Hamlin, Evanston, Wyo., for the ad-
dress. a railway postofiice envelope ad-
dressed to G.. l.. Hamilton contained an
account of S41 from Gray Bros, this city.
Added to these some scraps OF paper
were taken from the clothing Of the dead
man, but nothing that threw any addi
tlonal light on the matter OF identity
Was Probably Tourist.
There can be little doubt that the man,
whoever he was, did not belong in this
section, He is believed to have been
q tourist or a travelling man.
Late last night additional meager in
formation drlfted In. 1t is now known
that the body was found by n tramp
named Bastien, who Will be held to tes-
tify before the Coroners inquest today,
Also. 1T Is reported that the clothing Of
the dead man bore the stamp of Gray
Bros, and that q ring taken from his
finger was inscribed ]. l.. II.

POWER OF PRAYER
Afflicted Woman's S Story Of Healing
After Eight Years Illness.

Mrs. Mary Jenkins, aged d6, the wife Of
cotton spinner OF Llsngeler near Newcas-
tic Emlyn, described yesterday what she
calls miracle that worked upon her.
Nearly eight years ago she was taken III,

Hughes, curate, and Mr.. Evan Roberts, the
rcvivalist 1t was at meeting last winter,
she says, thnt she received command from
the Holy Spirit to rise and walk But tho
power OF darkness prevailed.
A week ago there was another viola
tion. Mr, John Jones read passage of
Scripture relating to the raising to life of
the Widows dead son. and Mrs. Jenkins
says she cried aloud, 20 Father, how much
more am / to endure before thou wilt reveal

The reply came. arise and walk

'ARTFUL ART|E" 7.
IS AT It AGAIN
Little Postmaster Clings to I'm
p0rtant Letter for
Three Days.
P0STMARK PLAINLY SHOWS
DERELICTI0N OF DUTY
Matter Is to Be Taken Up With
the POst0ffice De-
partment.

'Artful Artie' has been at 1t again,
Some time ago r, A. Walden. who was
formerly e confectionor, located at 10i
Main street, left Salt Lake and went to
San Francisco to locate In business, tell
ing his son. John NJ Walden of 273 West
First South street. that he would write
frequently regarding his business In San
Francisco.
Mr.. Walden, junior. has a postoff1ce lock
box, number 1412, and every day he went
to the postofflce, expecting mall from his
father. The days wore on and still the
expected letter did not come.
On September 8 the younger Walden
wrote his father TO find out why he had
heard nothing, and fearing he was III.
On September n letter was received
from Walden, senior. saying that he had
written a letter on September 3, directed
10 "Mr, John M, Walden. Salt Lake City,
Utah, box 1412," Again the son went TO
the Office and still there was no letter
there for him.
Finally Found Letter
On Thursday, September 13, Mr.. Wal
den, upon going to his box, found the
long looked-for letter In the box. The
front stamp bore the San Francisco post
mark OF September 3. .. IN. On the
reverse side, the back stamp" which,
by the way, the postmaster wants abol
ished, bore the plain impression OF the
Salt Lake post receiving stamp, which
said: Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 4, .
p. M, '06i
This showed that the letter was re-
ceiyed in the Salt Lake postoff1ce on Sep
tember 4, and it was apparently held un-
til September 13 before being put into
the box to which 1t was plainly ad
dressed, making a delay OF nine days.
which could In no way be laid upon tho
shoulders Of the sending Office this being
a favorite subterfuge OF Postmaster
Thomas, when detected in error, or
neglect Of duty), and SO the matter was
taken up by Mr.. Walden, He could get
no satisfaction; the Official did not know
the reason for the delay, and made no
attempt TO explain It.
Walden Will Investigate.
Mr. Walden expects to take tho matter
up with the department at Washington.
and It is probable that Postmaster
Thomas will be called upon to explain
to his superiors why mail Is held In this
manner. Walden is an out door adver-
tiser and a man OF reputable business
standing, and he says he will push the
case to the limit.
1t Is not to be wondered Mt that the
postmaster wants the "back-stamp,"
which he designates obsolete" abol-
ished, so that mail matter could not
show when 1t was received at the local
office. That same "back-stamp' Is of a
great deal OF annoyance to Postmaster
Thomas-it makes explanations so hard,
and in many cases utterly impossible
and II there were no such thing as the
"obsolete," useless" back stamp" this
official could tell the dear
public to shut up" for he could not then
be detected In his numerous derelIctions
of duty.
