CRAWFORD
GOVERNOR MAKES EXPLANATION
AND uNEQuiNocAL DENIAL 81
OF ALLEGED LAND

1 Huron, s. d.. March 81. GOV. Coe
+ Crawford Of South Dakota, when
asked for a statement in regard to the
charges made by Secretary OF the In
terror Garfield alleging fraud on the
part of Gov Crawford in proving up
on public lands in South Dakota, is
sued the following over his own sig
nature:
4 have all the facts relating to the
charges repeated by Congressman
Mann to the public last year. The
fact that was triumphantly elected in
answer to- these charges shows what
the people Of South Dakota think of
them.
81 made homestead filing upon a
quarter section of land five OF six
years ago in perfect good faith and
absolutely without fraudulent intent
+ afterwards abandoned the filing be-
cause I concluded the land was not
the equivalent to the value of my time
in making the necessary improvement
and settlement. It was simply case
of abandonment by me Of lawful
entry which the government may Of
course cancel. No proof of settlement
was ever made or offered.
The charge Of fraud is unfounded
and is made exparte. The attempt to
exploit it in the newspapers and plac-
ing Of it in the Congressional Record
is no doubt inspired by the congress
man, upon whom the attempt will re-
act with double force.
AS to the other filings mentioned,
state most emphatically and un-
equivecally that never, either direct
" or indirectly, made any agreement
by which ] was to acquire title to gov
eminent land through others, no mat
ter what Congressman Mann or others
say.

JUDGE EDWARDS
 DIES ALONE IN HOTEL
Body Was Found in Toilet by Proprietor = Still Breathing When Discovered, But Was Beyond Physicians Aid,

Press dispatches to the Review on Sounday morning, from Phoenix. an nounced the sudden death in that city of Judge E. J. Edwards, of Globe, c.ls of the prominent lawyers of Arizona. The Phoenix Gazette gives the follow ing details of his death:
 Judge E. J. Edwards, of Globe, ex- pired this morning about s o'clock at the Commercial hotel. Mir. Luhrs, the proprietor of the hotel, entered the toilet few minutes after and dis covered his body lying punched up on the floor, as it had fallen.
 Dr Hughes was immediately called and arrived in very few minutes.
 Judge Edwards was practically dead when he got there. though the doctor noticed little convulsive breathing, but no mortal aid could revive the man who was so suddenly stricken down.
 The cause of his death was epilepsy, from which the dead man had been a sufferer for many years. On his dresser was found a bottle of bro mide mixture which Dr. Hughes pre- scribed for his trouble when it first began. He had evidently been feel. ing badly. and had been taking a dose he felt coming on.
 Judge Edwards was one of the most brilliant lawyers of Arizona, both in the criminal and civil divisions, and was retained in most of the important cases in the Globe district and in some here, where he lived for about eight years.
 The judge came to Arizona about eighteen years ago from Texas. That
 was not his native state. however, as he was born in Missouri. He wal about 5S years of age. For many years before going to Texas he prac
 ticed law in Yisalia, Cal.
 For eight years he lived in Phoeni1
 and gained wide and enviable pro
 fessional reputation. At one time l he was a member of the territo rial council, before the capital was | built and the city hall served for that | purpose.
 He always took prominent part il i the affairs of the Democratic party and wielded quite an influence. Ht was a very Isepular man, of genia and happy nature. He made friend: wherever he went, and seemed to val ue his friendship above all othel l things. He was an eloquent speak | CT with a commanding personality. 1 Epilepsy was not the only i'll tha' Judge Edwards had to suffer. Abou | six months ago he accidentally up set a bottle of smelling salts into ont
 of his eyes. which was nearly ruined Since that time he has made frequen | x-iSifc tn phoanix tn have the eVI
 treated by Dr. Martin. He came her'
 about ten days ago for that purpose I stopping at the Commercial Hotel.
