supply of roses has been somewhat linn
tied, but is now improved, and the indica-
tons were there would be a sufficient
supply for the Easter trade. Spring flow
ers," he said, ARE coming in very nicely.
The prevailing flowers for this season Of
the year are tulips, daffodils, stocks,
lilies, hyacinths and fresias, and We will
have plenty of them between now and
Easter. AS a result of the scarcity OF
roses, there has been a material advance
in price, but conditions are improving
and we look for a nice supply. Carnations
are plentiful and of an excellent quality
While it is still q little early to discuss
the Easter business, We anticipate no diff
ficulty There will be any amount Of cut
flowers, such as roses, violets and carna-
lions, in Salt Lake this spring and the
regular spring flowers will be in big de-
mand. We are preparing for the usual

the masses. Speaking of the local flower
situation, Mr.. Cramer yesterday afternoon
said:
I'VE always carry a big stock. Busi-
ness this year has been splendid. the re-
tail branch Of it being unusually well.
All of our flowers are home grown, and
as we take especial pride in our green
houses, the result is that we always have
the best to be had in this line. We are
going TO have a big supply of flowers for
Easter. We have now over 600 pots of
Easter lilies, which will give about 1900
to 5000 blooms. so there will be plenty for
all our plant stock is quite large and is
very satisfactory. Roses, carnations and
viOlets we have all the year around, but
even this class of flowers is in big de-
mand at this season of the year"

months, when their relations became I'M
usually friendly, and the young woman
is said to have expressed a desire TO
marry Cotton. He is said to have
claimed that he was not prepared finan-
Cially to marry her and urged that the
wedding day be set aside.
Monday forenoon, February Z, Hazel
AStell accompanied Cotton to Salt Lake.
when the young woman is understood to
have pleaded with him that married life
would be the only solution of her growing
affections It is understood that the
young couple endeaYOred to consult with
friends regarding the matter, but these
were lOath to offer suggestions, and the
young woman returned to her home that
night and shortly after became seized
with commissions, which resulted in her
death.
When surgeons determined the cause Of
the young wOman's death they found that
it had resulted from poisoning, and that
there was doubt as to the manner in
which the poison had been administered.
The SheTiffS office Immediately placed
Cotton under arrest and he is being held
at the county jail pending the action OF
County Attorney Lyon.

Are to Train BLOOdhOunds to
Follow on Track of Thieves

TT HE two bloodhounds recently Sc
cured by the police department
are soon to be brought into actual
training for catching thieves. Fred
Mitchell the expert dog trainer, will
take them into the hills as soon as the
severe weather abates, when they will
be taught the science OF accurately
following a human trail, an instinct
which they already possess by birth.
Two or three policemen will accom-
pany the dogs and the dog trainer out
on the mountains. They will make sew
eral tracks and one of them will drop
handkerchief or hat and then travel
a mile or two while the dogs will be
held at leash, to be released when those
making the trail all we'll out of sight
The idea of the training is to make
the dogs follow the trail of the pO-
liceInan who has dropped the handk eT-
chief or hat and select his footsteps out

Review of Case.

Owing to the national importance which
the case has assumed, through the killing
of former United States Senator Brown
i'm Washington, D, c. on December s.
1905. by Mrs. Bradley, the fight for a part
of the fortune left by the statesman-at-
tOrney will attract no little attention. II
was because of the action Of Senator
Brown in repudiaung the paternity of the
two children that Mrs Bradley followed
him to Washington, where he went on
legal business. and fired two shots into
his body causing death on December l3.
Mrs Bradley declared after the shooting
that Brown had refused to admit the pa
ternity of the two children and took back
his promise to marry her. This promise,
which played a conspicuous part In the
murder trial is contained in a note in
the handwriting of Brown and dated
March H. 1905, in which ne admitted be
ing the father of the two children.
It IS declared that shortly after this
Mrs Bradley came to Maurice NJ.
Kaighn, receiver of the United States land
office and told him that Brown had
promised to right all wrongs by marry
ing her.
