conference convened here, Saturday

Grant and J. w. Taylor and President

The attendance in the morning was
very meager, owing largely TO the fact
that the late spring has forced the
farmers behind the time with their
work.

Chicago Produce Market.

Chicago. April 26.-The prime motive
for the action of all the grain markets
was the prospect of a settlement of the
Graeco-Turkish war and a sharp de-
cline at Liverpool. For few moments
after the opening wheat had all the ear
marks of a panic, and only for the fact
that trading was confined mostly to
big operators. the smaller fry having
been pretty effectually cleaned out last
week, the market would probably have
developed into a general rough and
tumble struggle to unload Most of
trading is now in July.

A PECULIAR DEATH
j. w. Lyon Took an Overdose of
Morphine.
BROUGHT, TO SALT LAKE IN A
DYING CONDITION.
The Physicians at st. Marks Hos
pital Try in Vain to Save His
Life-Had Broken His Leg and
Came Here for Treatment.

]. w. Lyon, a young man we'll known
in the Detroit district. where he has
been engaged in mining for some
months past. died at St. Marks hos
pital yesterday morning, under rather
peculiar circumstances.
From what can be learned it seems
that on Friday last. while in an intoxi-
Gated condition. Lyon was thrown from
q horse, breaking his leg. He was as
sisted TO Deseret, where local ply
sician was called and it was soon de-
cided the injured man should be
brought TO this city. w. A. keyser, an
old friend of Lyons, volunteered to ac-
company the latter to this CITY. and
before departing was given several
doses of morphine powders to be admin
istered TO the patient to relieve the
pain. As far as can be learned. the
morphine was properly labeled and the
strict instructions were that Lyon
should not be given a dose oftener than
one every hour
Kevser maintains he obeyed the in
structions, and instead of administer
ing six or seven powders on the way
to this cit:-, he only gave his charge
three doses. This, however, seems to
have heen unite sufficient. for when he
reached St Marks hospital at lO:30
O'Clock Friday night he was in dazed
condition.
TRIED TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
Three of the hospital physicians at
once went 20 work to rouse him from
his stupor. without success. He never
recovered consciousness, and died at 2
o'clock Yesterday afternoon
CAME FROM MKINLEY'S TOWN.
The body has been removed to Evans
undertaking parlors pending arrange
ments for the funeral. Inquiries have
led to the belief that Lyon has parents
residing in Canton. O.. and a telegram
was sent there last night. 4 reply Will
Droha hly be received today
KEYSER MUCH DEPRESSED.
Mr.. Keyser. who is also young man
and was evidently much attached to
his friend Lyon. feels keeniy the sad
fate of his chum. He is quite certain,
however. that he obeyed the orders of
the physician who gave him the pow
ders to administer 70 the sick man. Mr.
Keyser will remain in the city until the
arrangements for his friends funeral
have been completed

of two of the large 1900 engines as
