They advance the theory of suicide, claiming the dead man had been swindled out of several hundred dollars by green goody sharks on a recent trip to New Y'ork, which preyed upon his mind to such an extent that he sought relief in death. In support of this theory they claim Brown took several hundred dollars away with him; that he told acquaintances on the way home, this side of Omaha, that he had made a big mining deal and would have plenty of money when his grip arrived, which he had sent by express. Upon arriving home some store hills were presented him which he borrowed money to pay. A day or two later his grip came by express. After having opened it Brotvd became dejected and consigned some green looking paper to the atove, saying he had no further use for it. Its further said he gave a friend some of the stuff, which is jTet in evidence. Brown carried several thousand dollars life insurance, payment on which will probably be stopped pending a more rigid examination of the mystery. That so much the appearance of murder was apparent is claimed to be the result of premeditated arrangements to enable his family to get the insurance money. Friends of the dead man however, loudly protest against the assertion that he died by his own hand. CATTLEMEN. Permanent Organization EITeeted and Offi- Pendleton, cers Elected. Ore., Feb. 21.
