At O'Clock yesterday morning when a
servant girl went into the room of Mrs.
Nellie B. Wilkes at her home, No. Sl2 West
Fifth street, for the purpose of calling her
for breakfast, she discovered the lady in
bed and apparently asleep. No answer be-
ing returned to the girls call, she attempt

her shoulder, but this also failed TO arouse
her. These facts We're reported to other
members of the family, who, on going to
the room, discovered hat Mrs. Wilkes was
dead. a physician was summoned, who
after an examination of the body, could only
conclude that the deceased had passed away
while asleep, heart failure being the cause
She was apparently in the best health when
she retired the night previous, and during
the day had been in good spirits, going up
into the city twice on shopping expeditions.
She had never, so far as any OF her Tela-
tives knew, ever suffered in the least from
heart troubles before, and this sudden and
unexpected taking-of was a terrible blow
to them all.
Mrs. Wilkes was sister of Robert E,
John b. and Wallace Buchanan, only one of
whom is in the city. kilograms have been
sent to the absent ones, and until they ar
rive no date for the funeral win be de-
termined on. Mrs. Wilkes was q lady of

4 Fifteen-Year-Old Boy Charged With
burglary Lodged in Jail.
Two weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Thiel-
man who live in the southeastern part of
the city left home to attend the trial of
case in which they were interested, leaving
in charge of the house a boy in their employ
named Benton East, not over fifteen years
old. When they returned home in the
evening the boy was gone and so was prop
erty and money to the extent of SO. Since
that time the officers have been on the look
out for the young fellow but none of them
could get on his trail. Yesterday morning
as Mrs. Thielman was walking along Main
street she saw East and without waiting
for an officer took him in charge and turned
him over to a sheriff's officer, who lodged
him in the county jail. On his person was
found a pocket-book with a small sum of
money, the property, as ne admitted, of the
Thielulans. He had sold the goods he stole
from the house and had spent all the money
ne received for them except the small
amount found on him yesterday.

FOR THEIR SKINS.
Fearful Slaughter of Deer by the Utes in
Colorado.

DENVER. COL, Nov. 24.-From a letter
received here from the game warden at
Meelser, Col, 1t is evident that the reports
of the killing of deer by Indians, instead of
being exaggerated, are even short of the
truth. He has been engaged for month in
an endeavor to hold them of, but finds him
self almost powerless from lack of assistance
to cope with them successfully He reports
that all over the Blue mountain country,
Lily Park and the Snake river coun-
try and from Coon Springs divide clear to
Yellow creek the hills are tur of the skinned
but uncut bodies of deer. a dozen diff
ferent camps of Indians of both the
Uinitah and Uncompahgre Utes have been
there and they have simply shot down
every head of game they could find
Warden Taylor says that very conserva-
tive estimate of the number killed would
place them at from 1000 to 5000 head which
these Utes have slaughtered this fall At
the present rate of killing there will be no
deer left in stock at the National park
within three years from now.

New YORK, Nov. Is. The presbytery
met this afternoon in the Scotch Pres
byterian church. The entire afternoon
was devoted to the consideration of the
report of the committee on revision
which was submitted at the session held
a week ago. DIR. Charles \. Brigg and
his friends were on hand. The professor
succeeded in securing one or two impor-
tant amendments to the report, The
most important discussion was that over
the amendment recommended by the
committee that all reference to foreordi
nation, TO everlasting death, or any doe
trine of non election should be omitted.
1t was recommended that the
doctrine be stricken out because
it is a merely logical and philosophical
inference dcduced from The doctrine of
election and is not IA part of the holy
scriptures. The discussion between
those favoring the retention of the doe
trine of Denomination and those OPP
posed to it consumed the greater portion
Of the session. The first resolution re-
ported by the committee was adopted.
In the second il was amended by sug-
costing condensation instead of slight
condensation" as reported by the com
mittee. The third resolution, excepting
two sections relating to the doctrine of
sovereign pretcrition, eternal foreordina-
ton to death. etc, was finally passed as
reported by the committee after Il long
debate. DR.. II. NJ. Field made
Il strong argument against fore
ordination. On motion of DIR. Briggs
the words in the act of regcnerating
were stricken out in the section. After
discussion by DIR. Briggs.
DIR. Sanford and others, DIR. Briggs urg-
ing that some provision should be made
for the salvation of those incapable of
being called by the ministry of the word
and for the heather. The substitute
by DIR. Briggs was
as follows: Infants dy
ing in infancy and other persons
who are incapable of being called by the
ministry of the word are rcgenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit.
