LOSS OF MONEY
IS EXPLAINED
Letter Clears Mystery Which
Caused Much Trouble and
Worry
Central, Utah, Oct. "a 1912.
Mr.. Alex Matheson.

MI k1lCA IhdlliCSOIl,
Cedar City, Utah.
Brother Matheson: You no
doubt will be surprised to hear
from me, but having just found
our money that we supposed was
stolen while at Cedar last July,
we thought we would write to
yoa Immediately so as to clear
any parties suspicioned of TAX
ing it. We feel OH so sorry
to think any body was accused,
especially that little girl; but
seems SO strange the way it all
happened we will write the full
particulars here so you who were
In any way interested can see
for yourselves and not blame us
too much, because we feel so bad
to think it happened.
After we came home the
satchel from which the money
was supposed to have been
taken, was laid away as we
were on the ranch and had no
need forsit; and when we were
moving from the ranch to town
the satchel was used, as we had
some shopping to do. The
satchel is made of imitation
leather on the outside then there
is a substance, something like
pasteboard, between the outside
and the lining. The lining is
as stiff substance like a sta rchy
sloth. This had cracked or split
where it had folded to form
the end of the satchel. The piece
between tre outside and the lin
ig@aWse.iust straight piece
al at went cieesS pm si.e e-ef
t he satchel, but not the ends.
30 this allowed a place at each
end that anything could slip
under, between outside and
middle if the lining let it through
and this is where the handker-
chief had slipped. 1t being a
little heavy and tied up in
such a singular way, as we had
something over dollar in silver
in one corner of the handker'
chief and some tablets in an
other corner and the bills O
green backs in another; so it wa
. very small parcel and as w
went to the store and opene'
the satchel, we saw the edge o
a white handkerchief sticking
through this lining. We pulle
it out and it was the money
where through the jolting OF tn
wagon and lifting things about
it had lodged in the bottom, tn
outside and inside piece being
stiff we had not been able
feel it. AS it was almost
new satchel of course we new
thought of its being torn to
anything through, but we II
we would DO all in our power
right this affair as we feel
sorry and would rather new
have found the money II th'
that were accused or suspicion
could have been cleared 9th
wise. We hope you can und
stand the way this happened
the.explanation we have ma
and we sincerely hope eV
thing will be alright as we !
sorry to think any such tn
happened, but we still feel
we are not to blame because
the way it happened.
Yours very truly,
Mr.. and MRS. ISAAC BURGE

Will Leave For Russia

Harry A Dalbow, who has been can
ming Russian caviar at the plant in Penn's
Grove of the Russian Caviar Co, OF New
York, managed by Ferdinand Hansen,
for five years, will leave next Monday
for Russia. After spending a few days in
New York he will leave on the Lusitanla,
one OF the finest rams Atlantic steamships
for Liverpool. From there he will go to
Hamburg, where the firm of Dieckman 4
Hansen, large shippers OF caviar, are
located. Next he will go to Astrakham,
at the mouth of the river Volga, on the
northern boundary of the Caspian sea in
which the best roe sturgeon in the world
are caught. He will also go to Baku, in
Caucasia, which is about 425 miles further
south on the southwest coast OF the
Caspian sea-, near the Persian border.
Both these places are centers for catching
sturgeon and shipping caviar.
Because the pure food laws have been
enacted in Germany caviar must be
sterilized and put into cans which will
preserve it.
Mr.. Dalbow installed a vacuum process
OF Theoretically sealing cans at the Penn's
Grove plant, and is going to Astrakhan
and Baku to see that similar canning
plants are installed and successfully oper-
sted. He expects to arrive home next
July.

A Big Fire on Carney's Point

About II O'Clock last Friday morning,
the 10th, the cotton in the large store
house at the Powder Mills took fire. 1t
made a big blaze and continued to bnrn
until the rain put it ont on Wednesday
afternoon. The building was destroy ed,
also about thirty-fve carloads OF fiber
cotton which is used for a basis for
smokeless powder. The loss is several
thousand dollars which all goes into the
cost OF running an extra hazardous
manufacturing business.
The large store house was erected last
fall, aud was filed with a large supply
which had been bought from the cotton
seed mills in the South.
The waste from the cotton spinning and
weaving mills use to be used AS the basis
for smokeless powder, but a cheaper
material has been found in the fine fiber
which remains on the hulls from the
cotton seed which are used for oils and
other purposes.
A large plant with improved machinery
similar to that used ID making paper was
erected last year and put into operation
the early part OF the winter. In it this
fine fibre on huIls from the cotton seed is
being made into a liquid state and then
into a solid for the absorption OF the ex-
pIOsive compounds.
Many carloads of the cotton fiber were
bought before the store house was com
pleted, and as a consequence it was full.

Warmer Weather Followed !. March
Wind

The pleasant warmer weather which
arrived last Saturday was followed by a
heavy rain on Wednesday from the east.
The wind then veered to the northwest
Wednesday night and brought a chilly
blast on a 60-miles an hour gale which
shook houses in this vicinity and did dam
age in other places.
The temperature between 80 and so
from Saturday until Wednesday night
vanquished all the ice and snow on land
and made the ice disappear rapidly in the
river. Boys enjoyed fine skating on the
river last Saturday, but the ice loosened
in the afternoon and some had difficulty
in getting ashore. On Sunday the ice
moved freely in the easter channel where
it had been tight for some DAYS. The
east wind on Wednesday moved most of
it to the western channel and the warm
rain did much to melt it. The north
west wind has brought it back to the
Jersey shore.
While the temperature was from 80 to
So on Thursday the northwest gale was
very chilly and made the sand fly OH
light lands. 1t continued all Thursday
might and the temperature was 26 this
Friday morning, but the wind is not 30
strong.
