Identification Was Wrong.

Mrs. Mott Sends Word that First
Identification Was Wrong.
Mrs. Jason Mott received a telegram yes
terday afternoon from her brother, John
A.. Retiring, that the body Of the suicide
at Pueblo, Colo, was not that of her hus-
band, who mysteriously disappeared from
this city on August 81. Mr.. Kettring's mes
sage did not contain and information
other than the body there was not that of
Jason Mott.
Wednesday afternoon H.. A. Quinn of the
Quinn Lumber company, where Mott was
employed up to the time of his disappear
ance, received a telephone message from
Philip Keeline, formerly OF this city, now
a resident Of Pueblo, Colo, saying Mott
was dead there. In order TO make sure
the description of certain Identification
marks were telegraphed to Pueblo and an
answer was received that some Of these
marks were found on the body there. 1t
was thought best, however, that some
member Of the family go at once to
Pueblo, and Thursday evening Mr.. Ket-
tring, a brother-in-law Of the missing man,
left for Colorado.
Mrs. Mott, who was doubtful from the
first that the body at Pueblo was that OF
her missing husband, was naturally greatly
relieved when she received the Telegram
from Retiring yesterday afternoon. Il be.
lieve Mr.. Mott is still alive said Mrs
Mott. and l feel that everything will
come out all right in the end. OF course
1t was a great relief to learn that il was
all a mistake and hat the body Of the
suicide was not that of my husband"

we're also some valuable papers in the

until the next morning, when he was
dressing. He hastily boarded a train and
came up here, where in a short time he
learned OF the find and was presented with

Fire in Barn Destroys
Valuable Animals -
Is Pigeons Also
Incinerated.

Three horses and twenty-five
pigeons were burned to death
early this morning in a fire which
destroyed the barn of Fritz Mems
ing, 1889 South q street. The
horses were the property of De-
berry Krasuer, an express man, and
were valued at a total of $3.50.
Mystery surrounds the origin of
the fire, as no one had been in
the barn since last evening, and
the flames burst out at 4 o'clock
this morning.
Krasuer had but recently come
to Tacoma and had rented the
barn of Fritz Mensing in which
to keep his horses. He roomed
In the Mensing residence. One of
the horses was a sorrel racing
mare, valued at $3.50. She has
not been On the track for two
seasons, but in her last race is
said to have made the mile in
minutes.
The other horses formed the
express team upon which Krasuer
depended for his living. An ex-
press wagon and driving buggy
were completely destroyed.
The pigeon loft was in the gar
ret of the barn, and of the en-
tire flock only one bird made Its
escape. The pigeons belonged Il

No damage was done to the resi-

in time to prevent the total de

the horses was burned to crisp
and when found were laying or
their sides with nostrils upturned
as though struggling for a last
breath of air.

SHOT To
DEATH
Body Of Man Evidently
Murdered by Robbers
Is Found Near
Summit

County Coroner G. D. Shaver
and deputies from the sheriff S
office are today making a strenu-
GUS effort to discover some clue
to the identity of the murderer
of Frank Mozen, rancher, whose
body, with four bullet holes in it.,
was found early yesterday morn
ing in the brush within 800 feet
of his cabin at Summit, a station
on the old Puyallup line.
From the appearance of the
body when 1t was found by r. w.
Cody, H.. T. Denham and W. H.
Eaton, who were hunting varmints
with dogs, Mozen was murdered
in cold blood. Robbery is believ-
ed to have been the motive for
the crime, as the dead mans pock-
cts had been rifled, and the con-
tents of his wallet, secreted in the
kitchen, had been taken.
Mozen was Russian Pole, liv-
ing in his hut all alone. He had
not been seen for more than a
week prior to the finding of the
pOuy yColOi udys u. VI. burke, d
neighboring rancher, claims that
he heard four shots fired in rapid
succession. not more than four
days ago. The shots, he said,
came from the direction of Moz-
ems cabin.
The body. had been lying on the
ground less than a week, Judging
from its appearance. Part of the
head had been gnawed by some
carniverous animal. Two of the
bullets lodged in the mans head,
one In his chest and one in HIS
left hand.
The deputy sheriffs state that
they have a good clue to work on,
but are unwilling to give out In
formation as to it's nature. No
arrests have yet been made. Cor
oner Shaver will probably hold an
inquest the latter part Of the
week.

below Steilacoom and is in shape
to go ahead and build the line

They assert that the Northern
