WAS FOULLY MURDERED;
BODY FOUND IN TRUNK
Seattle Mystery Cleared by Identifi-
tiOn of Victim-pOlicc Search
For Hunband.

SEATTLE, Sept. 2o.--The body
found in trunk cast up by the sea
on Fauntelroy Park beach has been
identified as that of Agnes True Gov
ington, the girl wife of Frank Cow
ington, for whom the police are
securing the country, that he might
tell what he knows, if anything. of
the foul murder.
Agnes True McCombe was the
girls maiden name. Thomas Nc
Combe, a butcher employed at Van
couver, B. c., is her father. Her
mother died two years ago in Van
couver, and after that Agnes resided
with her grandmother, Mrs. Robin
son, and two uncles, George and
William Robinson, in Seattle. Last
March, when about II years old, and
in defiance of the wish of her near
est of kin, she married Frank Gov
ington, whom she had known but a
few months. Covington was then
employed as salesman for a liquor
house. For marrying Covington,
whom they declared to be man of
bad reputation, the girl was disowned
by the Robinsons, none of whom ever
saw or had anything to do with her
in life again. Today, prompted by
what they had read in the local press,
Mrs. Robert Robinson, the grand
mother, and George Robinson, the
uncle, visited the morgue and after
gazing at the lifeless body, declared
it to be that of their relative, Mrs.
Covington. They say there is no
chance for a mistake in identity.
The police are making every effort
to find Frank Covington, whom they
say at best is now under damaging
suspision, despite the fact that John
J. O'Connor, chief of police of st.
Paul, wired that the young man bore
good reputation in that city, where
he lived with his uncle, John b. Gov
ington, big grain and fuel merchant
in the Minnesota capital The Gov
ingtons were last seen in this city on
September 6. on which day they left
their rooms in the Keswick apart
ments. They had lived at the Kes-
wick since June 20, and w. Fl.
Mackay, the landlord, stated they
were very Objectionable guests, be-
cause of their constant quarreling.
Their conduct was such, he says, that
he kept raising their rent for the pur-
pose of making the couple move.

OLD FRIENDS UNITED
AFTER NINETEEN YEARS
CHANCE MEETING ON STREET OF
MEN WHO PROSPECTED IN
MANY CLIMES.

There was a joyful, if unexpected
street in front of the Northern hotel
yesterday afternoon, which brought
happiness to the hearts of two men
we'll along toward middle age.
H. G. SantmyerS, a miner, who has
been employed in this district for a
number of months, stood on the side
walk talking with an acquaintance,
when a man of about his own age
passed and gave him searching
glance. The passerby returned in a
moment and looked at , Santmyer
again, this time approaching him.
Isn't your name Santmyer? he
asked.
Yes, and aren't you Harry Hart ?"
Santmyer asked in surprise.
Neither man had made mistake,
though they had not met for nine
teen years.
When Santmyers and Hart be-
came acquainted they were prospect
ing and mining in British Columbia.
The acquaintance grew into friend
ship and they were together more
or less for many years.
Their friendship was as warm in
Canada and British Columbia as it
was in years later when them met
in Old Mexico, and still later when
they worked together in the mines
in Utah.
Nineteen years ago they drifted
apart, and each had come to the con-
clusion that the other was dead, when
they met yesterday and renewed the
old friendship.
1t took the greater part of the day
for the old timers to exchange their
tales of experience, and Santmyers
was loath to leave this morning for
Duck Creek, where he is employed.
Hart is prospecting and will leave
ina few days for the hills. He came
to Ely for the purpose of reftting
his outfit

HIS PAY CHECK HELD UP
Professor Jensen Will Invoke the
Law to Compel A. c. to
Paw Salary.

Logan. July 2g.-Professor Joseph Jen-
son, formerly head of the mechanic arts
department of the Agricultural college
left here today for Halchtown, Utah
where he will assume charge of the res

land board some time ago. Before leav-
ing here Professor Jensen left instruc-

N Stohl, the new president of the Agri-
cultural college board of trustees, to pay
him his salary for June.
Jensen, while at the college, frequently
sold articles made by the students al
ways reporting the sales, of course. and
accounting for the money received and
last spring he sold $50 worth of furni-
ture to parties who had long been de
sirOuS of getting it. Some of the stuff
sold had won prizes at St. Louis and
Chicago fairs, and Of course the new ad-
miniStration wanted to retain il TO ex-
hibit IL again. while Jensen naturally
felt at liberty to sell the product of his
own genius when about to leave. Stohl
ordered him to stop selling and he did
so. Then the officicus Box Elder trus-
tee ordered him to at once secure the
property again.
Jensen promptly told him to go to
Hades. and thereupOn Stohl laid down
the ultimatun that unless Jensen secured
permission from the owners of the prop
erty for the college to exhibit the stuff
next fall, he (Stoh) would not sign Jen-
sons pay warrant. He has kept his
threat and Jensen will now invoke the
aid Of the law to recover the salary he
earned.
