Show BROWN NOT GUILTY. H JOHN E. BROWN was a member of H the board of county commission- H ers of Grand county, one of tho H pioneering counties of the state. He H was accounted wealthy in sheep and H cattle. His daughter, a very estimable H woman, married James A. Dubois, a H young ne'er-do-well of Moab whose B presence "never was welcome In the H community. H Not long ago Brown and Dubois H wore ohargod with cattle stealing and the trial was watched with interest H in the new country. Brown is till H charged with theft and his trial is ponding, although there is no charge H against Dubois since that young man Hh is now rustling cattle somewhere else. K Brown and his family, including Du- H, boi'3, were returning from a dance last WL November. Dubois wanted to take an- H, other woman home, provoked a fight H with his father-in-law and was killed. ' The shocking feature of the affair Hl was the accidental shooting by Brown K of his own daughter who had flung Hr herself between her father's gun and m her husband's body. H The jury at Price, to which the case i was taken on a change of venue, held m' that the shooting of Dubois was justi- HH fiable and that .the killing of the girl i was accidental. V All of which will be roundly ap- H' plauded by" those good citizens of the m state who felt relieved at the passing m of Dubois. Brown is suffering the tor- H ments of the damned over the loss H of his daughter. |
