Show The Provo correspondent to the Salt Lake Tribune sent up a yery foolish canard to his paper on Saturday evening even-ing concerning Sheriff Brown, saying, in connection with his repoit of the finding of two more dead bodies on Pelican Point, that the sheriff had 'mysteriously disappeared," and leav-ine leav-ine the impression that the other officers of-ficers here thought Mr. Brown had been done away with by the unknown murderer mur-derer or murderers of Ernstrom, Johnson John-son and Nelson. There was not the slightest foundation for the Tribune's absurd story, for all here knew that Johnny Brown left Provo on Saturday raornicg for the Pelican Point country, and the slightest inquiry would have ascertained the fact that when he went that day he hired the rig he used for three days and that some hours before the report intended to be sensational was written Scyeral parties had ai rived in Provo who had seen the sheriff beyond be-yond Lehi in company with another man all safe and sound. The further news was brought to the officers also, which the correspondent could have had for the asking, that Sheriff Brown had got faint trace of what he thought might develop into a clue of who perpetrated per-petrated the vile murders at Pelican Point, which to follow out would take him to Murcur,and that this had caused him . to go further than he at first intended in-tended when leaying Proyo. He had other business to attend to also over there. Sheriff Brown was with Coroner Berg and his jury all dayjyesterday and went on last evening to Eureka in the hopes of being able to locate a son of Mr. HayeB who has not been seen in these parts since December last and nf getting other information that might be of importance in the investigation. |
