NOT SURPRISED AT UNCLE
DAVE"

Some of the papers seemed to be
surprised when Hon. d. +. Bailey
went into a Republican meeting a
few days ago. Strange that they
should do so. In every speech he
made while candidate for congress
he declared he was unalterably and,
we might add, hopelessly a Republi-
can. He was only fighting the
Slemp-Summers faction. The empha-
sis he put on his Republicanism had
much To do with losing him the elec-
tion. We did not expect him to do
otherwise than as he did.-Gate City

Last night Deputy Sheriff Worrels
of Price, Utah, accompanied by u
special deputy, Mr.. Young, arrived
in Grand Junction for the purpose
of identifying the two Austrians ar
rested by the local sheriff's Office OIL
Tuesday night and charged with a
horrible murder committed at the
little town of Mounds, Utah, a few
days ago.
Carl Bruch and William Kisgi, the
two young Austrians charged with
the crime, have been confined in the
city Jail since their arrest on Tues
day night. This morning officer Wor-
rels, Under Sheriff Wallis of this
county and Fire Chief Rogers made
a personal examination of the men
and searched their clothes thorough
ly in an effort to locate the money
it is believed these men stole from
the body of Joseph Zatzi, after slug
ging him and throwing his body on
the railroad track. The search did
not produce the money.
Officer Worrels closely questioned
the two Austrians. They did not
deny being with Zatzi the day he was
murdered. They stated that they
walked from Sunnyside, where all
had been working, to Mounds. Utah.
1t seems that Zatzi, the murdered
man, had been working at Sunny
side for several years and had saved
up his money until he had between
$500 and $1,000. 1t is known that
he expected to make a visit to the
old country. He left Sunnyside Sum
day for Mounds. These two Aus
trians were with him and they knew
he had the big sum of money on
his person. The two prisoners claim
that when they got to Mounds they

Neither of the prisoners can speak
English very well. In fact, one of
them makes out that he cannot un-
derstand a word of English.
Officers Worrels and Young left
the city at noon today on No. for
Price, Utah, where the men will be
arraigned for trial. Neither of the
prisoners knew that he might delay
being taken to Utah by demanding
requisition papers.
The Utah officers also took back to
Frice with them the third Austrian.
Il man named Herchill, who was ar
rested here when the two alleged
murderers were arrested, as wit
ness against the two men.
The murdered man was highly re-
spected by all who knew him. He
was industrious, sober and of good
disposition.

left Zatzi in camp at noon, while they
went to the railway station and got
their dinner
Then they claim that one of them
remained at the station while the
other went back to the camp to see
If Zatzi was ready to proceed on the
journey eastward. They further
state that when the man who went
back to the camp reached the camp
lie found Zatzi gone and saw a pool
of blood on the ground, and also
saw blood on the railway track near
by. Nothing was to be seen of Eat
ri.
The two prisoners declare that
they then purchased tickets to this
city and came on to Grand Junction.
They absolutely deny that they had
any trouble with Zatzi.
officer Worrels states that Zatzi
was found in a dying condition at
the side of the railroad track. A
train had run over him and cut Off
both legs. An examination of the
body proved that he had also re-
ceived a terrific blow on the back of
the neck, and this blow, it has been
proven, was administered before Eat
ri was ever struck by the train. 1t
is believed by the officers that these
two men murderously assaulted Eat
zi. got his money and then placed
him on the railroad track at a sharp
curve in the track, 50 that a train
would run over him. The terribly
mangled man did not die until after
he had been discovered by trainmen
and taken to Price, Utah. There
are many other circumstances indi-
eating that the two men arrested
here murdered and robbed Zatzi, but
what they did with the money is a
