Brief Statement From Messrs.
Reyburn and Jones.

In view of the fact that some
persons are laboring under a mis-
apprehension as to our attitude in
the matter of investigation of our
offices and books, we take this op-
portunity to say that no citizen of
Iron County, honestly and fairly
in search of truth and facts, has
ever been denied that privilege.
On the other hand, we are ready
and willing, just as we have been
during the past, to show to any
and every honest citizen of our
county, who wants the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth, the books and records of our
respective offices in every detail.
To all such the latch-string hangs
out.

Triple TRAGEDY in Omaha Street.

Omaha, Jan. 7.-Walter Osgood, an
unemployed clerk, today shot and
killed his wife Grace Osgood, fatally
shot Ray Johnson who attempted to
protect Mrs. Osgood, and then killed
himself.
The deed, which was committed in
the middle of the street on Park av-
enue, resulted from an estrangement
between Osgood and his wife.
Mrs. Osgood, few days ago took
refuge with her mother, who is house
keeper at fashionable home on Park
avenue. Osgood learned her where
abouts and early today went to the
house. He dragged his wife into the
street and was about to shoot her
when Johnson, employed in a neigh
boring butcher shop, went to the wo-
mans aid. Osgood fired a bullet into
Johnson's neck, shot his wife three
times and sent the remaining bullet
through his temple, Johnson cannot
recover.

Hoxsey was a fatalist. He believed
that when his time came to die, he
would die, no matter where he was or
what he was doing. lie talked of this
so much to his mother that she came
to believe the same as he did, which
accounts much for his fearlessness
and for the resignation OF the mother.

End of Lorimer Case Not Yet.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE end of the
Lorimer case may be quite some dis.
lance off, If certain agencies now ope-
rating prove effective. This was the
statement made today by one of the
members of the senate who has been
studying the case very closely during
the holiday recess. There seems to
be feeling in the senate which is
gaining strength day by day, that the
report in favor of Senator Lorimer,
just before the holiday recess, should
not be accepted until 1t had been sub.
jected to the closent scrutiny and an
alysis.
The privately expressed opinion OF
many senators is that Mr.. LorImer
should not retain his seat in the sen,
ate. Between this sentiment existing
between senators and the taking of &C
tive measures to reject Lorimer's in
vestigating committees report and
eventually deprive Mr.. Lorimer of his
seat is a gap to be bridged.

that the census figures have lesson
for the middle west, and business men

their section. Kansas and Nebraska
have gained less than 20 percent in
the last decade; Missouri and Iowa
have gained less than 10 percent. Ii
fact Iowa has lost in population and
Missouri gained only few thousand.
All the remainder of the states west
of the Missouri river gained more than
80 percent. Colorado, South Dakota
and Utah were in the 30 to so percent
gain class; all the others show more
than 80 percent gain.

FIRST HE TORTURED HER.

Providence, r. l.. Jan. 9.-Indica-
tons that Mrs. Minkafin, whose mutt
lated body was found in her little
store Saturday night, was tortured be-
fore her death, developed at the autop-
sy. 1t was first thought the woman
was killed by blow which crushed
her skull and broke her neck, but a
closer examination showed that she
was stabbed and hacked apparently
with some four pronged instrument
like fork.
The stab wounds near the heart it
was decided were the real cause of
death. The victims clothing was torn
to shreds by the murderer in his
search for the money she was sup
posed to carry.
One of the woman's sons told the
police that while his mother was ex-
pecting a payment of $1,000 insurance
on the life of her husband, she had
not received 1t, and he doubted If the
robber found more than $40 on her
person.

Not a Dime on Dummy"

O'Neill Frontier: Dummy" West,
who was defeated in pugilistic en-.
counter on December 81 by Dan Sulli-
van, broke into print about a week
after the scrap with the statement
that he was "doped" on the night of
the fight and that he would meet eth
er one of the Sullivans for side bet
of $1,000 and the gate receipts. He
said he had man at Sheldon, Ia,
who would put up the $1,000, If they
have that much money or twice as
much they can come here and get it
covered so quick that it will make
their heads swim, or they do not need
10 come here, if they will only deposit
it in some bank in Norfolk the money
will be covered by the O'Neill sports.
Those who saw the Dummy" quit in
his last fight are of the opinion that
he cannot find man to back him for
a measly 10-cent piece, let alone 1000
bucks, as in that contest he showed a
yellow streak foot wide.
