KANSAS CITY. Mo., Feb. 20. Lo renzo Crosby, an elder in tho Mormon church, whllo en route from Atlanta, Ga., where he hud been stationed until recently, to Holbrook, Ariz., shot and fatally wounded himself In a berth in a Pullman sleeper on the southbound Chicago & Alton train near Hlgbee, Mo. Ho was brought to Kansas City and placed in the City hospital, where he died this evening. Crosby wan unconscious when brought to this city. In his pockets were found two letters, one signed Mil lie Crosby, from Greer, Ariz., appar ently .from his wife, o,nd which Indi cated some domestic trouble, and an other signed Olive, from 353 West Fifth South street, Salt Lake City. Crosby, who was 35 years old, shot himself twice, one bullet penetrating his brain. He was treated by a railway surgeon who occupied a berth In the same car with him, but little could bo done for the man. W. C. Spcncc, the immigration agent of tho Mormon church, and President George Reynolds, when asked if they could throw any light on the above dis patch, cave out the following: "Crosby was a Mormon missionary. mlttee: R.

Officers at Murray arrested Edward Klelnchcn, proprietor of the Loomis hotel at that place, last night on the charge of disturbing the peace. He is accused of having beaten bis wife. She begged for his release from custody for the reaeon, she stated, that she wanted him to wait on the table at. dinner. Marahal Mauss was attracted to the hotel yesterday aftarnoon by the screams of the woman. He found' her badly bruised as a result. It Is claimed, of an attack by her husband. She re fused! to make a complaint against the man on the charge of .assault and bat tery, so he was taken Into custody for creating a disturbance. The woman begged that- he be. released and threatened to sue the city for his detention. Her only object in wanting him released, she said, was to secure -his. services In waiting on the table at dinner-time. k CDEN EXCURSION - Washington's Birthday.

Leave Salt Lake 10:50 a. m, Everybody invited who has been until recently laboring in Virginia, where he has acted aa president, with headquarters., at Rich mond. Later he was transferred to At lanta, where he labored until his t re cent release. His home Is at Eager. Ariz., and this, according to our under standing; was his proposed destination. He was set apart to do missionary work April 7, 1902, and seems to have been lately released. "We haven't the slightest idea as to what the cause of his aot may have been. It. seems to havo been Inten tional for he shot himself twice, and hence it could not have been an acci dent. This Is the first case of such an affair that we have on record. "We have directed that the body be shipped to Holbrook, from which place It will be taken by wagon to the late home of the deceased at Eager." Relatives .of Miss Olive Crump, who live at 853 West Fifth South street, : claim that there is no significance to bo attached to the letter from that ad dress found on tho suicide. "President Crosby has his mission headquarters at our home when wo lived in Richmond, Va ," said the mother of the young lady last night. "He became a great friend of th,c fam ily, and since wo removed to Utah we have all corresponded with him more or leps. The letter was one merely of friendship nothing more." TROUBLE IN CARBON MAY BE REVIVED Demolli and Price Again at Work Among the Strikers and the Feeling Against the Company Seems to Grow in Bitterness. Reports from the mine superinten dents at Winter Quarters and Clear Creek received at the offices of the Utah Fuel company yesterday state that a clash between the miners who are out on strike and' the civil authorities is Im minent at any time. Extra company guards have been placed on duty and the situation is said to be critical. So alarming was the report that Gen eral Manager Williams left at once for Scofleld, the scene of tho reported trouble. A special train will take him from Colton to that place. Other offi cials of tho company accompanied him on tho trip. It is stated that Demolli and Price, the union representatives, who have been largely responsible for tho contin uance of the strike, have announced a mass meeting which will be held at Sco fleld today. It was also stated by the mine superintendents that the strikers proposed to parade and march In a body to Clear Creek. In order to prevent their entrance Into that camp an extra force of guards was at once stationed at the border of company property to refuse permission to enter. For the purpose of preventing tho out break which was feared If the miners , should march into Clear Creek the civil 1 authorities at Scofleld decided that no . parade would be permitted in that town. They did not forbid mass meetings, however, and It is said that Price and Demolli have invited all the strikers to bo present today when a monster meet ing Is expected. Those who have visited the mining camps of Carbon county recently declare that the situation thero is more serious thdn at any time since the strike was declared. The miners who .aro out of work are said to be growing desperate, and provisions are becoming scarce. They are still living In tents and the ENUTSFORD HOTEL. The one place for comfort and ele gance.

The union has contributed a certain amount towards the suste nance of each of tho strikers with their families, but the amount does not suf fice in a county where provisions are dear and fuel is practically unobtain able. "Indeed, I believe the situation there now is decidedly more threatening than ever before," said a Judge who presides In that district, while in the city yes terday. "The men and their families are really In Want in many cases, and whero want exists love does not abide. "It is a picturesque scene, around the various camps. Small villages of tents are standing in the snow near the regu lar towns, and It Is there that the strik ers are living and keeping up their fight for recognition against the company. How they get coal enough to keep them warm is more than I know, but there has been no real, abject suffering up to this time. "The men have an ugly look, one of determination and anger, but give no evidence of defeat. If the winter is passed and the farmers return to their homes, as threatened, prospects of a vic- tory for tho strikers will certainly be I much increased. In my opinion there may bo trouble at any time, and if there I was ever any need for Sute interference it looks like something In that line might be necessary before long. "The impression which has prevailed that most of the strikers have left is wrong. There are several hundred of them still in the county and they are as firm now, even though braving the hardships of a severe winter and lis tening to the walls of hungry children, as they were when they went out on strike. I don't know what the result : will be. but It will certainly be interest- ' ing. People who live In the county look for a cllmux at any time." INSURANCE MEN HOLD FIRST BANQUET Officers and stockholders of the Conti nental Life Insurance and Investment company held their first annual ban quet at the Commercial club last night, with plates laid for fifty. Gov. Wells, who Is president of the company, per formed the functions of toastmaster in his usual happy style, and responses were made by representatives of the company from Idaho, Montana, Colo- ' rado and Nevada.

TO SELECT THE JUDGES. . REPUBLICAN JUDICIAL , CON VENTION TO BE HELD IN . SALT LAEIE MAY 16TH. The members of the Republican com mitted of tho Third Judicial district who favored holding an early nominat ing convention, won out at tho meeting at the Kpnyon last night. Every mem ber of the committee was present and much lntorest was shown. District Chairman George N. Lawrence presid ed and Parley C. Christensen kept up his end with the minutes. After considerable discussion It was decided that the convention be held in this city Monday, May 16th. A number of those present urged a date in Sep tember, but the general sentiment was for an early convention as a matter of good politics. The convention will be composed of about 150 delegates, but the exact api portlonment was not made because of the absence of the official vote for Con gress, on which the apportionment will be based. The official apportionment will be announced the first of the week. It is estimated that Summit will have about 25 votds, Tooele 17 and Salt Lake about 10S. It Is reported that thero will be at least a half dozen 'candidates for the four Judgeships and the convention promises to be an unusually interesting one. MURRAY NEWS ITEMS.

BRUBACK CAME TO HIS DEATH A post-mortem examination over tho remains of Theodore Bruback, conduct ed yesterday afternoon at his late resi dence, disclosed a dislocation pr press ure on the spinal cord between the first and second vertebrae. The examining physicians also found a severe bruise on the upper edgo of tho forehead and one near the back of the head on top. Yesterday Col, Bruback's hat was found Just beside the ladder where he fell, and was badly broken. The sup poeition now is that the unfortunate man struck his head against a piece qf projecting rock, causing the bruise on the forehead and rendering him mo mentarily unconscious, which caused him to lose his hold of the ladder and fall to the ground. The autopsy w.13 conducted by Dr. A. S. Bower, Dr. F. B. Steele and Dr. A. J. Hosmer. fii addition to his life Insurance, Col. Bruback carried accident policies amounting to $20,000, and It was to de termine whether or not his death was due to accident, or to natural causes, that, the examination was held.

State Superintendent of Public In struction Nelson Is exerting every ef fort to make tho coming State normal summer Institute a source of great profit to every teacher In the State, and to that end Is endeavoring to secure a full attendance. In a letter Issued yes terday to the County Superintendents of tho State, Prof. Nelson urges upon them the desirability of their co-operation In the matter of inducing their teachers to profit by the means of ad vancement which will be afforded by the summer school for educators. The lotter Is as follows: You will please And Inclosed herewith a copy of tho announcement of tho Stato normal summer Institutes to bo held at tho University of Utah from tho 6th till tho 18th of June, 1504. A circular will soon follow, showing the courses which will bo offered, tho names of tho Instructors and lecturers who will take part, and all other necessary information In regard to tho school. Permit mo to call your special attention to pago 0 of the announcement. You will notice on that pago a copy of tho com munication sent by this offlco to tho presi dent of tho University, wherein it Is stated that at tho last department meeting of county superintendents of tho Utah Stato Teachers association, It was moved and carried unanimously to ask tho authorl ; ties of the Stato University to keep their training school open two weeks during tho University summor school session that the teachers of the Stato might have an op portunity of attending tho training school and of deriving tho benefits which would result therefrom. On this communication tho announcement says: "It is in re sponso to this unanimous request of tho superintendents of schools throughout tho Stato that tho officers of tho University have undertaken to arrango for this nor mal school Institute." Our positions as county public school superintendents contcai plate our support to the educational institutions of tho State. Tho fact that tho Univorslty re gents havo acted favorably on our request places us under moral obligations to sup port the Stato normal Institute. Tho re sponsibility which wo have assumed in re gard to this institute will, I am sure, awaken us fully to tho realization that our efforts should bring to It substantial aid. I am convinced that our teachers cannot bo too strongly impressed with tho necessity of attondlng a summer school at which they may derive knowledge and n spiratlon for their work from some of the best educators In tho United States. By putting forth your best efforts to get your teachers In this Institute, you will not only be discharging a duty, but you will also be Instrumental in bringing knowl edge and an educational Influence Into your community which will more than compensate you f6r tho extra energy expended.

Testimony also showed that, as with all manways of the kind, a per son ascending might strike his head against an obstruction if not on his guard.

After ft. recess of a few minutes the jurymen E. J. Beggs, Lute Carpenter nnd J. II.

"Thero Is not a question about It. I lay no claim on being a politician." continued tho doc tor, "but I llko to stand Around and watch tho oth;r fellows play tho game. And if you happen nbout one of tho leading clubs of this city It will early bo aeon that there Is no question as to how this Stato will vote In the November election. I bellovo the Administration Is very popular in Utah, and that Mr. Rooscvolt will bo ear nestly indorsed at tho convention and at tho polls." a A prominent official of tho Short Line, whose namo for obvious reasons we with hold, Is of opinion that tho Republicans will havo somo difficulty returning Mr. Roosevelt to tho White Houso. "I believe that It will bo next to impossible, now that Senator Hanna is gone, to enlist tho support of the railroads In behalf of tho Republican ticket," said he. "Thero Is an immense amount of crltlclsn of the Presi dent because of his unfriendliness to tho great business Interests, and it would not be a aurpriso to me if tho Democrats wero to nominate a man that the railroads could center on and elecL There Is n6 walkover ahead for the President." v ... "The Mormon vote in Idaho," said Stato Chairman Gooding, "is not nearly so string as In Utah, being but from 0 to 25 per cent of tho total voting population, but It la nevertheless a considerable fac tor In local politics." ... "Of all tho contemptlblo things that has como up In tho politics of Salt Lake for many years," said a member of tho Coun cil, "tho appointment of C. M. Jackson Is tho worst. But Jackson has no posslblo chanco of being confirmed. Why, If ho la confirmed, oyery one will say that It Is because tho Republican members of tho Council are personally afraid of him, and I do not think It posslblo that either of our members would think of voting to seat him." An amusing thing comc3 from Connec ticut. A young millionaire named Leeds espoused tho cause of labor and Democ racy, and on account of tho many bright things ho said in a somewhat spcotacular campaign, ho was elected Mayor of Stam ford. Ho had donned tho clothes of an cvery-day workingman and tolled with tho lowliest, as ho said, for experience. But to the surprise of every ono, he has thrown tho Democracy overboard and haa made this unique explanation: "When 1 was elected Mayor I was heart and soul a Democrat, and I honestly believed that tho best ends for the city and Stato would be attained by advancing the prlnclplos of tho- Democratic party. 1 may say that I am yet a Democrat in theory, but, don't you know, theories don't run govern ments. Tho fact Is that I have found that tho best practical results are achlovod by tho Republicans. Democratic principles are, indeed, excellent in tho abstract, but this is not an Ideal world, and, thcrcforo wo should not havo Idealists or dreamers to run it, ao I suppose you could sum up tho situation by saying that my heart la still with tho Democrats, but my head is with tho Republicans." . Mayor Morris mado a great economy play in tho Council last Monday night that has created no llttlo fun at his ex pense. Ho had a resolution passed which provided that his secretary should act as clerk of the Board of Public Works. Hla intention, it la claimed, was to unload tho expense of tho secretaryship on the city, but It has beon pointed out to tho Mayor that tho City Recorder shall act as clerk to tho Board of Public Works, and, fur thermore, that such an, assignment as tho Mayor proposed cannot be mado by reso lution. It Is up to Mayor Morris to pay for tho luxury of a private secretary out of his own salary. ... "Politics? Why, 1 know nothing about them," said jolly Joe Geoghcgan. "Onco upon a time I thought I did. I took quite an earnest part in a couplo of campaigns, and I never wanted anything so much as to win. But I got loft In both cases, and now I am working for Mrs. Geoghcgan and tho babico.
