Dropped Dead.

a ripple of excitement passed
over cur busy little city on Monday
morning and the news passei rap
idly from mouth to mouth after it
beeame known to a few that a man
had dropped dead upon the 8. p. V.
street near the center Of the city.
Upon further Investigation The
Easi9n man learned that the in
dividual was an old gentleman
named Niels johnson, who has re-
sided in Nephi for many years, and
is well and familiarity known. He
left his home in the east central
part Of town about ten O'Clock in
the morning, intending to go down
to Mrs. Pexton's residence for his
regular morning walk. He had
proceeded but Z short distance when
he suddenly stoppsd. reeled a little,
and fell upon his back, passing away
to the'great beyond without word.
His son in-law, Mr.. Bowers, who
was short distance away, imme-
diateiy ran to his assistance. An
easy chair was brought from q
neighboring house and all prep
arations made for placing him in a
comfortable position.
Dr.. Miner was summoned and
arrived coon after the unfortunate
man had beeen removed IN his
home. 1t required but a glance to
tell him that. he was beyond all
human assistance, ii being evident
that he had been dead from the
time he fell PROSTATE on the street.
The deceased was born in Sweden
March 10, 1871; joined the Church
of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints
about the year 1853, and emigrated
to Utah some three yeaB later. He
lived the life of q faithful Latter
day Saint and died IN full fellow
ship. He leaves several children 10

grandchildren, together with a
large circle Of other relatives and
friends. W
