MORMON MISSIONARY
COMMITS SUICIDE
Lorenzo-Crosby Shoots Himself Twice in the Head for Un
known Cause and Dies in
a Hospital.
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.

WHY MBS. KLEINCHEN OF MUR
' BAY REFUSED TO MAKE COM
PLAINT AGAINST SPOUSE.
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.

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

rigors of the severe winter have not
tended to alleviate their bitterness.
A scarcity of provisions has also as
sisted in increasing the sullenness of
the strikers. 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. The occasion was one
of great felicitation on the part of those
present because of the success which is
attending the efforts of the new institu
tion in its promulgation of the doctrine

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.

HOW COL. 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.

GETTING READY FOR
SUKR INSTITUTE
Superintendent Nolson Urges Upon
County Superintendents Wisdom
of Rounding Up Teachers.
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.
Record your bad debts with us. We
may collect it; If we don't It's on record
and it stays. Merchants' Protective

a unanimity of testimony that the raise

the ladder upon which he stood wore
in "perfect condition, every rung of the
ladder being sound and in place, hav

as with all manways of the kind, a per

against an obstruction if not on his
guard. Tho testimony, while establish
ing the fact that the company was In

clearing up tho mystery which sur
rounds tho fatal fall of Mr. Bruback.

jurymen E. J. Beggs, Lute Carpenter

dict, the essential part of which af

THE DRIFT OF POLITICS.
"Utah Ib overwhol.-nlngly Republican,"
rcmarkod Dr. Union WorthlngtOn. "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."

Chairman Gooding, "is not nearly so

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
