The Coconino sun., 1921-01-21

Again enters the mysterious dream CT of dreams in Salt Lake City, the aged hotel clerk, who, before Schwab's body was found, sent Coun- ty Attorney Gold a pen and ink sketch accurately portraying the Peaks, this city at their feet and the place where Schwab was buried. The dreamer said he dreamed that after the murdered man was thrown into the hole and dirt showed down on him, the murderer had gone south to try to sell the car, then to Butte, Mont.
 Is it entirely a coincidence that the first man arrested in connection with the crime, Buffalo Brady, was arrest ed in Butte, Mont? Is it a coinci- dence that all four men before they sold the car had, as is reported, been in Butte, Mont.
 Did the dreamer dream the dream, or was he half asleep behind the desk of the Salt Lake City hotel of which he was night clerk and overhear the men describe the murder? Perhaps the latter guess might not be exactly accurate; anyhow, people who do not believe in dreams, yet recount the un- canny accuracies of the dreamer, have all the license in the world to coniec- ture, perhaps to wonder where truth left off and fiction, if there Was any in the story, began.
 It will be remembered that when Coconino county officials visited Salt Lake City last fall and tried to find the dreamer, to hear from his lips recounting of the strange vision, or dream, he had gone, shortly before, leaving no address.
 Another coincidence, this one not bearing at all on the evidence. On Monday, the day that Nash was ar rested in Los Angeles, a S5 check written in Ash Fork on April B, three days before Schwab forever stopped writing checks, and there presented to the proprietor of the Cleary room ing house, showed up at one of the Flagstaff banks. It is said to be the first check signed by Schwab that ever had been seen here. It had come back from the bank at Payson, Utah, where Schwab's wife, six children and other relatives live, marked, Not suf- fcient funds" It had been to Albu- querque, and is now, probably, on its way back to Payson, the bank there having offered to try to get the mon- ey to redeem the check from Schwab's people.
 Mrs. Nash says that none of the other men were here with herself and husband. The officers believe that is true. But they do not understand how, if they had ever read of the mur- der and the published descriptions of the car they could have failed to iden- tify it.
 It is believed that the alterations in the car were made near Flagstaff. It was two or three weeks after Schwab's murder before the fact that he was missing was noted. It would have been much easier to have had the car altered then than afterward; and, it is held, about the first move person would have made under such circum- stances would have been to have the car altered, rather than wait until a hue and cry had been set up all over 1 the country.
 The rewards in the case aggregate | S2,400. This county offered $500 for the recovery of the car; also $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderers, which was supplemented by later offer of s1 900 by the state, s200 by Joe Kel- lum, and S100 by Jack Kester. The county also offers s100 for the return of Schwab's watch. The sheriff at Weisser, Idaho, will probably get most of the reward money.
 i Under-Sheriff Billy O'Brien left Wednesday night for Los Angeles, to help bring the men back. It is un- likely that, everything working smoothly, they will be able to start back before Monday.
