From the point OF view Of the public.
the mystery surrounding the death Of MI
Joseph : Montgomery. who was found
dead on his farm, Tree Hin. Friday az
ternoon. grows deepr. and the question as
10 why Coroner Deas should have deemed
IL necessary TO hold a secret examination
OF the witnesses remains still unanswered.
Dr. Dcas refuses TO discuss ;nis action
on the part Of the coroner's jury and the
legal point involved, saying that there is
no mystery about the affair and tnat the
verdict was rendered IN proper acco-4
with the law governing such an inquest.
He simply deemed IL wiser To hold the
examination i'm secret. and that is the
end OF tie matter. so far as IL goes With

fore that the Indictment against DR..
Maxwell was not properly certified as
having been returned by the grand
jury and that so long as DR.. Maxwell
denied having been in Ohio on the day
the alleged crime WAS committed, il
was incumbent on the Ohio officers to

ter to Governor Cutler requesting that
the state cooperate with the govern

He points out that the government
has esta blished d forest nursery there,
and that the running of stock at large
viii not only injure it but will pollute
the stream from which Salt Lake will

Mr.. Pinchot asks that the state,
which owns township of land in that
neighborhood. shall not lease the land
again at the expiration of the present
leases, or at least that the new leases
shall specify that the lessees shall not
use it for stock purposes. Governor
Cutler has referred the letter to the

DENIES CASH WAS PAID BACK
Attorney Ingebretsen Gives
Version of Company'S Ii
tigation With Frost.

Salt Lake. Utah. March 10. 1906. To
The Herald-My attention has been
called 10 a statement made to one of
your reporters by c. S. Price. and pub
lished in your newspaper on the morn
ing of Monday. March 5. with respect
to the reason for the dismissal Of the
suit of Isaac Frost We. the Western
Loan & Savings company. In view of
The fact that I represented the defend
ant in this suit and had the interview
with Mr.. Price which resulted in it's
dismissal, and know all Of the circum-
stances in connection with the suit and
that led up to it's dismissal, and be-
lieving that Mr.. Price has done the
company a grave injustice, at least
with respect to one statement made
by him. I ask you to kindly print my
version of the matter.
The fact is that neither the defend
ant nor its attorney ever suggested a
compromise Of the suit referred to af-
ter its commencement. but about ten
days ago the attorney for the plain
tiff stated to me that for private rea-
sons he did not care to press the suit
further and desired to know whether
we would comply with our contract
with Mr.. Frost by executing to him a
deed if he would dismiss his suit.
told him we had always been ready to
DO this and had no reason for refusing
TO do so now. consulted the defend
ant and was authorized to execute the
deed and have the suit dismissed,
which was done
The point l particularly desire to
emphasize is, that IL is absolutely un-
true that any officer or officers of the
defendant company ever received 1900
or any amount whatever, Illegally or
dishonesty and no officer or officers
were required to or ever did restore
any money to the company for any
reason, and any statement made by
Mr.. Price rejecting in any degree upon
the solvency of the company or the eff
ficiencY and honesty of its manage
ment is without shadow of foundation
in fact, and to remove any doubt on
this point / submit the following let
ter from the secretary of state:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern-Pur-
suant to the duty imposed upon this

opinion Of this Office that said COM
pany is operating under safe and
conservative plan in accordance with
its charter, bylaws and the state laws.
That it is being honestly, competently
and economically managed and that it
is now in good financial condition.
