A telegram was received from Salt Lake
City Wednesday announcing the death OF

dition was so serious I; il seemed so impos-
sible that death could step 10 and claim

manhood, and who but q little while ago
appeared to be the perfect picture Of health.
She was only thirty years Of age. and was
Of an especially brightsnd gay disposition.
