SLAYER Of DUBOIS
HELD NOT GUILTY
Killing of Son-in-Law Held
Justifiable; Shooting of
Daughter Accidental.
Special to The Tribune,

Special to The Tribune,
PRICE, Utah, July 2-After deliber-
sting in their jury room for four hours
the jury in whose hands was placed
the fate of John E. Brown, who has
been on trial here for two weeks
charged with the murder of his son-in-
law, James A. Dubois, found that the
accused man was justified in taking the
life Of Dubois, and that the killing of
his daughter. Dubois s wife, was acci-
dental. The jury retired shortly after
10 o'clock last night, and by 2:30
O'Clock this morning had reached its
decision.
Court convened this morning at Q
o'clock and at 12 o'clock the twelve
men brought in their verdict OF ac-
quittal. The court dismissed the jury
and John T. Brown walked out of the
courtroom free man. surrounded by
many of his friends, who had been here
from Grand county for two weeks to
lend their aid in securing his aquittal.
The decision of the jury brings a
close to the most remarkable criminal
case ever taken before the seventh
judicial district court. On the morning
Of November Is, following dance at
Moab, Brown shot his daughter and her
husband, James A. Dubois, after driv-
ing to his home, three miles away, and
returning for half mile with two
guns. Having committed what had ap-
peared one Of the most dastardly crimes
ever known in Utah, he barricaded him
self in his home for thirty hours, defy
ing the sheriff and his posse.
In their defense Of Brown, Attorneys
D. D. Houtz and Lewis A. Larsen con-
tended that the killing was justified in
two ways; that Dubois assaulted
Brown with rocks Immediately prior 10
the shooting, and that for many
months previous Dubois had paid flag
rant attention to Mrs. Poose Empey,
utterly forsaking his wife and wreck
ing his own home and driving his
father-iD-law to desperation.

New Era s Dawn.

II was a great symposium In rccogni-
ton OF the outlook--the hcralding
OF a new era's dawn. marking The birth
of two new inland empires, OF which
Spanish Fork and Payson are the natural
centcrs. An expenditure of more than
1000, 900 by the government. TO which
a substantial fortune will be added by
those with holdings in so1thern Utah
county, bids fair TO turn "A vast area of
almost barren soil into one of the rich
est producing sections OF the intermoun-
tain country The big project, when
fully completed next year. will show n
great natural reservoir In Strawberry val
ley, whose colossal volume OF stored wa
tiers Will be distributed through 10000
feet Of tupneling through the Strawberry
valley basin to the thirstIng lands OF the
Utah valley.
The formal programme OF the day
began at II o'clock In the forenoon.
Prior TO that time the days observances
had consisted OF the hring of q salute and
eennonading. both at the tunnels mouth
and in Spanish Fork. The Provo Silver
band and 'the Spanish Fork band kept
up n continuous parade and concert,
while citizens OF the town, headed by
energetic committees. prepared for the
arrival OF the special train from Salt
Lake and intermediate points.

in proportion. When the programme

Written Appeal to Progressives

y
l am satisfied that with Mr.. Will
son running for president on the plat
form which has been prepared there
Will be comparatively few progress
siye Republicans who Will not feel
Justified in supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket. II 1 were to make an
estimate tonight I would say that we
ought to have not less than 100000
majority OF the popular vote and
enough electoral votes TO give us, an
overwhelming majority In the electo-
raj college
The action OF the convention In
adopting the anti Morgan Ryan Bel
mont resolution has demonstrated
that the Democratic party is not only
progressive but also is bold enough
TO throw down the gauntlet TO the
predatory interests,
1t is fortunate that Mr., Wilson's
nomination was made without the
aid OF Mr.. Murphy. 1t Is no re1ec-
ton upon the many good men In the
Outlook Hopeful.
From every standpoint the out
ant thing about a political fight is
that success to one aspirant brings
disappointment to others. Those who
fail must find some consolation IN the
fact that failure is not always re-
rection upon the individual, because
circumstances exert larger influence
than IL sometimes supposed In the
determining Of n convention choice.
Men are available only when they

years ago that ] did not At into the

sponsibility OF advocating any par
