Salt Lake, Jan. 10, The remark
able provisions of a will made 25
years ago have been brought to
light through a letter to Coutty
Clerk Ja ires from Mrs. Robert A.
Irving, of 501 WeBt 12 4th street,
New Yoik, asking for information
regarding trie disposition made of
the estate of her grandfather, Dr.
Charles Frederick Winelow, an ec
centric but brilliant naturalist, who
died in this city in 1877, leaving a
valuable estate. This consisted
mainly of personal property, includ
ing a large and valuable collection
of shell, fossils, minerals, antiqui
ties and rare books, three volumes
of tbe latter alone being valued at
$10,000.
An examination of the public re
cords fails to disclwe what became
of this property. The will is dated
May 3, 1876, and names Samuel
Woodward (now deceased) as tem
porary admioi'trat r. and Joseph
Sbippen and Charles W. Winslow,
of St. Louis, and William C. Peas",
of San Francis-co, as executors.
After making bequests to his
children, Dr. Winslow in his will
requests that after his death his
heart be cut out, embalmed, enclos-
d in a glass vessel and placed on
the coin a of his mother- on the isl
and of Nanturket. In a similar
vessel he requests that tbe ashes of
his cremated body be buried with
the body af his wife in a cemetery
near Cambridge, Mass.
As there had beeD but two previ
ous cremations in the United States
and none in Utah, considerable dif-
ficulty was found in carrying out
this request, it being necessary to
construct a temporary furnace in
the heart of the city at a cost of
$1500. Nearly every person in the
city gathered to witness the then
novel ceremony of cremation.
Meriden, Conn., Jan. 10. With
the mercury 30 degrees below, Mrs.
Georga All worth and Miss Alice
L. Flint slept all last night in the
open air on the veranda of their
home here.
Miss Flint is the daughter of
George E. Flint, a silver mill fore
man. Mrs. Allworth and she are
consumptives. -
Last July their cases were declar
ed hopeless. As a last resort a phy
sician advised sleeping in the open
air. 1 bey have not slept a night
indoors since. Throughout - the
winter tbey have established their
bed on an upper veranda promptly
at 9 p. m. Their bed clothing has
conFisted of one. blanket and one
comfortable. In case of rain or
Genoa, Jan. 8rWhen it became
known that the Niasin and Kasaga
warships built here for tbe Arg n-
line republic and purchased by Ja
pan, wonld depart tonight, there
was great rejoicing ttrougbout the
town, and ciowds of people nocked
to tbe harbor to bil farewell to tbe
ships of whose strength and speed
they are justly proud.
3 An especial interest . centers in
the warships, too, because half of
their crews'will ba Italians, and be
cJvae the engines are entirely of
Genoese construction. Contrary to
what has been asserted, the Kasa-
ga and Niaein have ktpt the Jap
anese colors hoisted lrom tbe mo-
ment tbey were turned over to the
Japanese authorities'.
Tbe ves-U are commanded by
two Englishmen , Captaiu Bjyle
and Captain Lee, and the other o-
ficers are also English, with the ex
cep'iom of five Japanese. The crews
numbering 300 men in each ship,
are about eoually divided between
Italian and English. One hundred
arid twenty English artillerymen
embarked on the ve.-sels laat night.
The commanders et the Nusin
and Kasaga have received 6ealed
orders which will be opened at sea.
At tbe last moment tbe departure
of the warships was delayed to a-
wait the receipt of money from the
Japanese legation at London, but it
is expected the vessels will sail ear
On board each warship the most
gaiety prevails and tbe crews are
extremely impatient for eailing or
ders.
The Japanese officers are particu
larly jubilant, and swear by their
ships and by all their' gods that no
Russian shall ever set loot in their
country.

Ontario, Or., Jan. 12. Joe Man-
ahan . dropped dead on Sucker
Creek, Malheur county, Monday.
That fact of itself was enough to
startle that quiet commuity in
which "Joe" has resided for 18 years
as a iarmer and stockraiser, but
when friendly neighbors started to
prepare the body for burial the com
muuity was given a decided shock
when it was announced that "Jos"
Monahan was a woman.
. For 18 years the woman masquer
aded as a man, owned her own
farm and stock and performed all
the labor allotted t3 tbe average
husbandman, - For rears si e has
ridden after her cittle over moun
tains and plain, camping with men
under all conditions and in no in
stance was her sex questioned.
Time over and again "Joe" Mon
ahan has been summoned by the
sheriff to serve as a juror. Iu eve
ry case she responded promptly
and participated in prr parations ot
vdrdicts rendered, further than
that, she held the distinction of being
the only woman in the state of Or
egon who has exercised the right of
franchise acoorded only to the male
sex. Her masquerading was so
successful that she was registered
as a voter and cast her ballot at ev
ery election.
The dead woman had collected
-eenei4W property, including a
g od ranch on Sucker Creek. 'The
mystery surrounding her life pre
cludes any facts regarding any rel
atives. The property has been tak
en in charge by former neighbors
pending an inves'igation.
Medford, Or.. Jan. 12. The city
election was held today and the out,
come was a decided victory for tha
citizens' ticket, which was in favor
of an open town by 75 majority.
X be real ngbt of the day was for '
councilmen of the different wards.
The question was whether the sa
loons should be closed on Sunday
or remain open as at present. Tha
citizens' ticket was in favor of keep
ing saloons open and tbe People's
ticket was to close them on Sunday.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13. Oa a cat

Salt Lake, Jan.
Heinbold, a noted
William
dueliet half
century ago; and at that time re
garded as one of the most expert
swordsmen of France or Germany,
died here today of old age. Mr
Heiohold participated in tha Ger
man revolution of 1848, withc Gen
eral Siegel and Carl Schnrz, who
were his comrades. He was banish
ed from his native land and went

part in the events of the second

placed on his head. Mr. Heinhold
was 81 years old.
Honolulu, Jan. 11. Rear-Ad
miral Evan's fleet, which sailed
from here on the last day of the old
year, is now speeding on to Guam
minus at least three score of Uncle
Sam's men. These men have suc
cumbed to the glittering bait held
out by Viceroy and Admiral Alex-
lefl of the Russian navy, and are
waiting here to accept service as
gunners against the Japanese when
war is declared, lbey are desert
ers, all ot them, but tbey are taxing
a seaman's chances of not being
caught and consoling themselves
with tbe thought that tbe penalty
of desertion is so much lighter in
times of peace than war. Now, if
any of them are taken, they will at
least eseaps with their lives.
Tbe fleet is on its way to Uuatn,
and consists of the battle- ships Or
egon, Wisconsin and Kentucky,
the cruisers Cincinnati, Kaleigb,
Albany and New Orleans and the
dispatch boat Iroquois. On reach
ing Guam, Admiral Evans will find
orders awaiting him there to pro
ceed to Subig.
Irrigon, Or., Jan. 12. Surround
ed on an island by a posse of 20
armed men, three Italians, who had
dared to robbed in open daylight
and then return to town for dinner,
were captured today. On their per- '
sons was evidence of many robber
ies, it not of other crimes.
Each Italian wore five separata
suits of clothes. One, Gniseppi
Rosa, had five drafts, amounting in .
all to $550. Ten watches, a quan
tity of jewelry, some of good value,
and a number of revolvers were
found npon them. Ech carried a
razor and stiletto in bis grim; cloth
ing of many layers.
About two o'clock thi morning
five men, including-the three sona
of sunny 7 Italy, were sidetracked
here while beating their way over
the railroad. Soon after .daylight
one man, who is unknown, disap
peared,' though it is not believed
that he oould have gone far from
town.
Soon, after the other three Pullman
pa-senger strolled np tbe track. Ha
was Reginald Horbern, of Boise,
Idaho. He was met by the Ital
ians who had shared the same car
with him, and coolly robbed of $25
and a gold watch. Horbern return- .
ed to town and told his story. While
the posse was forming, the Italians
appeared to get dinner. Hearing
that they were being sought, they
made for the outskirts. The posee
took after them and followed them
at some li ttle distance but of respect
to the shotgun which one of them
carried.
Fleeing before the posse, the I
talians' waded across an arm of the
Columbia River' to a small island.
Here, when thay saw that they
were surrounded by overwhelming
numbers, with no chance of ulti
mate escape, tbey surrendered.
Sullen and momentarily cowed,
the robbers were brought back to.
Irrigon.
It is believed that they have com
mitted various crimes'all aloDg the
railroad, probably beating their way
westward and living upon the peo
ple they robbed.
A deputy sheriff is on bis way
from Arlington to take charge of
the Italians. Tbey have been pos
itively identified by Horbern bb his
companions in the freight car and
as tbe men who robbed him.

Genoa, Jan. 9. The Japanese
armored cruisers Kasaga &zd Nis
sin left Genoa today.
Dsspite the early hour, 4:30 a,
m. manp people gathered to see the
warshipB leave and to give a last
cheer for Japan. The Italian sail
ors on boaid the departing ships
exchanged salutations with their
countrymen on tbe docks or on the
steamers anchored near them. The
Kasaga left first. The Nissin sail
ed halt an hour later, ootn appar
ently going in the direction of -Na
ples, but no one knows what route
they will take, even the command
ers, before leaving, having acknowl
edged that they are in the dark re
garding the instructions contained
in the sealed orders. The general
Opinion, however, is that they will
go through the Suez canal.
Much comment has been aroused
by tbe fact that some of the vessels
of the Russian. Msditteranean
equadron have gathered at Suda
bay, north of the island of Crete.
