WILLIAM BROWN
PROMPTLY SK|PS
While a Force Of Deputy Sherifts
Is Earnestly Seeking to
Locate Him.
PECULIAR FEATURES IN CASE.
Passed From Court to Court Without
Bail. jury Finally Finds Him
Guilty and He Nanlshcs.

The sheriff's Office force is endeavor-
ing to find out the whereabouts of one
William Brown, a. young man of the
west side. Some months ago Brown
was accused by very young girl
whose home is in Wasatch county, OF
having caused her downfall. The ac-
cused was placed under arrest. ana
pending investigation OF his case was
let go upon his recognizance. His hear
ing finally took place IN the criminal
division of the city court and the testi-
mony against the defendant was most
damaging, The court took the case
under AMUSEMENT. and after a period
OF several weeks held Brown to the
district court. But again no bonds
were required.
on TUESDAY, Dec. IL, Brown faced a
jury in the district court and was found
guilty of the charge preferred against
him. He was in court the next morn
ing, where for the first time he learned
of his conviction. The following Friday
was the date fixed for sentence, and
again. without bonds. the defendant
he did not appear for sentence. nor has
he showed himself herea bouts since
that time.
The proceedings from beginning TO
end are a puzzle to those who have
followed the case. Why a man so pal
pahly guilty should be permitted to go
from court to court without bonds be-
ing exacted is causing wonder and
surprise on the part of the public.
Some one has evidently been derelict
In the performance of duty.

ANSWERS THE DEATH CALL.
Life of Mrs. Joseph Lippman, Nee
Phil Pointer, Goes Out I'm Youth

4 beautiful young life passed into
the death shadows this morning when
Mrs. Joseph Lippman, nee Phil Point
er. a bride of last June, entered upon
her final sleep. Fragile and delicate
as n flower she came to Utah from her
native state. Kentucky, three years
ago, in the vain hope of permanently
recovering her health. Her many per-
sonal charms. accomplishments and
vivacious temperament made friends
on every hand. and In the younger set
she soon established herself as wide
social favorite.
Last fall her dear ones noted tho
approach of a gradual physical fall
ure, and with her mother she went TO
the balmier climate of southern Cali
fornia where she remained until u
week ago. returning home at the in~
stance and on the advice of her ply
stefan who sadly. but gently said that
no mortal power could save her. His
diagnosis proved 10 be only too true,
and this morning the light of her
life went out shortly before the break
of dawn. as II 1t were the precursor
of a greater dawn whose day should
nave no fatal frosts and where life
would endure forever.
Profound sympathy is felt for the
hereaved husband. sorrowing mother
sisters and other relatives in their hour
of crushing grief. The time Of the
funeral, which will be private. from
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clint b

NO COMMISSION FOR IDAHO.
That is What Representative of the
Gem State Said i'm Salt Lake Today.

Representative John d. Killpack OF
the Idaho legislature is IN Salt Lake
today He represents Fremont county
and his home is at briggs, in the Te-
ton valley. When interviewed as to
conditions in Idaho legislation, he said
that the coming session Is sure TO be
lively one. The recommendation made
by Gov. Gooding in favor of rail-
road commission is receiving much
comment, and Mr.. Killpack is of the
opinion that the measure will not be
passed.
''As for me- he said, in speaking of
1t. II am greatly opposed to 1t. It
seems to me that we arc investing in
a whole lot OF pruning knives and
general equipment To trim our railroad
orchard before 1t is planted. 1t is
mighty different in the east. There
the legislatures are in their fiftieth or
perhaps their siXtieth sessions. and the
railroads are so well established that
their problem is regulation rather than
creation of new lines. In Idaho we
need new railroads more than any
thing else, and this commission will
just put our people on more unfrlend-
ly terms to them. At present we have
differences over rates, but people can
take these matters up individually, and
get a speedy adjustment. II they try
to take them up through a commission
Which Is bound to be ON unfriendly
terms, 1t will hold back the creation of
new roads, and initiate against the de-
velopment of the country. This for us
Is Il planting season. not pruning
season, and we have no reasonable need
TO cucumber the railroad situation with
q commission such as that asked"
Representative Killpack came down
ON business during recess, as the
Legislature adjourned from: Friday till
Tuesday next, after meeting to hear
the governors message and organic

battleships and great armored cruis-

the states of our union, and this sym

dwells anywhere inland as to a true
american who dwells anywhere on the
seacoaSt. The navy is our SureSt guar

come 1t will be the greatest safeguard
for our honor and our interest.
AS is likewise true of our army, it
is manned by volunteer force; for it
must never be forgotten that all our
soldiers and sailors, whether regular
or not, are volunteers. Every encour-
agement should be given to our navy,

we should give them all the reward

higher a man is in the service. the
greater should be our insistence upon
having the best kind of man. We
should have a system of promotion
either by elimination or by selection,
SO that mediocre officers could not
come to the top. The officers in re-
sponsible positions should be watched
with peculiar care. Each captain of a
ship must do his duty just as emphat--
ically as the enlisted men must do
their duty, and the way they do their
duty will largely depend upon the way
he does his. He must keep his officers

SHOWER OF FISH.
Enough Fell to Stop Up the Catch
Basins lat Independence, Mo.

Kansas City. June 1O.-At 4 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, when the rain was
heaviest aglarge quantity of small
silver co1ored fish, which closely re-
sembled mountain trout, fell from the
sky at independence. Although a
few of the fish fell in all parts Of the
town, the fall was heaviest over the
square in the center of the town. So
many of the flesh fell there that the
catch basins. built to carry the water
to the sewers, were clogged and the
water backed up and covered the side
walks.
Nearly everybody in independence
who wished it had fish last evening
Men and women came to the square
and picked them up off the pavement.
Each man put a few in his pockets
and each woman picked up two or
three, wrapped them in her handker-
chief or a piece of -paper and carried
them home for souvenirs.
1t is estimated by an independence
fish expert that the total quantity of
fish which fell was about a ton. They
covered the whole square in a thin
layer and when carried by the running
water to the catch basins piled up on
the iron MEETINGS to the depth of a
foot, entirely stppong the escape of
the water.
Some of the little fish were alive
and swan around briskly, but the
great quantity of them had been
killed by the fall from the sky. 1t was
the dead fish which piled up in one of
the. catch basins.
Various theories have been given to
account for the fish being in the sky,
but the most plausible is that they
were sucked up by a tornado in the
Rocky mountains and carried east.
e. L all.
tain trout adds to the FEASIBILITY of
this theory.
