SUSPECTED OF
BROWN MURDER

RENO, Jan. ED. Darr was ar
rested by Sheriff Ferrel and Chief of
Police Burke yesterday morning. 1t
is believed the officers will be able
to connect him with the murder of
George Brown and the robbing Of the
Hotel Jargstorf last Monday night.
Darr is known to be a desperate char
acter He was run out of Arizona
and Los Angeles, according to the Of
ficers, because it was known that he
is a professional highwayman. He
was closely questioned yesterday and
was unable to give satisfactory ac-
count of his actions on the night Of
the murder. Other arrests may fol-
low at any moment and it is believed
that within the next twenty-four
hours the officers will have perhaps
every member of the murderous gang
safe in jail.

encounter was resumed at the door
way, where Count Boni, followed by
his brother, Jean de Castellane, over
took the prince. Count Boni spat in
his cousins face. Then came clash
of canes, followed by rough and
tumble fight on the pavement, which
ended in the gutter, where both men
were finally separated by big

BARTNETT'S SAFE
DEPOSIT OPENED

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The special
safe deposit box in the vault of the
Atlantic Safe Deposit Company
which had been rented in the name
of Walter J. Bartnett, and in which
it was thought he might have placed
te missing securities of the Cotton es-
tate, was opened today. The box was
found absolutely empty, not scrap
of paper being in it. The box was
then examined to see If it had been
tampered with, but there was no in
dication that it had been, and it be-
came certain that Bartnett had not
left any of the securities there. Search
must now be pursued elsewhere.
Brainard w. Parker and Charles
A. Douglass of Washington, who had
been appointed collectors of the es-
tate for the heirs and were making
the search, were greatly disappointed
as they were led to believe that the
securities were in this box. They re-
ceived the key to the box from San
Francisco, and opened the box in
the presence of many lawyers and
newspaper men.

why he had spat in the princes face.
All three of the men, bespattered
with mud, accompanied the police,
and followed by several thousand
persons, they marched off to the sta
ton. Both Count Boni and the
prince gave their own version of the
quarrel, each claiming the other was
the aggressor, but the prince alone
lodged complaint, charging the two
brothers with assault. Count Boni
was interviewed tonight and declar-
ed the episode had nothing to do
with Nine. Anna Gould, but was the
result of an old grudge between him
and the prince. He added that the
prince had not been invited to the
ceremony at the church. Prince Helie
said he regretted the incident, prin-
cipally because the name of Nine.
Gould had been dragged into it. He
said he would be willing to fight a
duel, if there was honorable provoca-
tion, but under the circumstances he
intended to allow the law to take its
course. According to current gos-
sip in Paris, Count Boni and the en-
tire Castellane family, is now con-
vinced that Prince Helie de Sagan.
despite the opposition of the Gould
family, is seeking to marry Nine.

JAPANESE ARE
Held FOR TRIAL
[By Associated Press. ]

VANCOUVER, B, c., Jan. 2.--In
the police court today, H. Nakashei,
X. Tangusti and M. Tanowye, Jap
anese, appeared on charge of at
tempted murder in connections with
the stabbing of three firemen on New
Years day. The accused were re-
manded, bail being refused. Reports
from the hospital this evening state
that the condition of Richard Frost
and George Anderson. two of the
firemen stabbed, is considerably i'm
proved. McLoud was only slightly
injured and is able to be about.
There is no excitement in the city
over the occurrence, and it is con-
sidered quite improbable that race
feeling will be engendered.
