JUAB TEACHERS INSTITUTE
ENTERTAINING LECTURES DE-

Some New School Houses.

Nephi, March 19.-The teachers from

guests, whose presence and interesting
talks added greatly 10 the success OF
the occasion.
A well rendered programme Of ex.
ercises was prepared and carried out
under the direction of County Super
intendent Andrews.
After opening invocation by Profess
sor 0. a. Bates. Miss Edna Morris
sang very sweetly a song of welcome.

The exercises closed with brief talks
by DR.. Tanner and others upon gen.
eral educational topics and singing of
school songs and music by Professor
Browns class of the high school. The
attendance was unusually large and
appreciative and the remarks of the
several speakers interesting and in
structive.
In the evening the tabernacle was
well filed to listen to q lecture by
DR. Tanner. The subject: What Shall
We Learn" upon which he spoke, was
apt, and well considered. The lecture
abounded il forceful illustrations and
logical reasons why our young men
and women should acquire some profess
sion, trade or distinct avocation, and
not depend upon haphazard chance in
life. His remarks must have set many
young people to thinking and cannot
help but prove greatly beneficial.
Mrs Root followed with some very
suggestions devoted to
common se-se in dress. Her reason
ing was logical, timely and we'll re-
ceived.

rrom TIL, HeraId,s Correspondents,

From Thu Herald's Correspondence
Corinne. Utah, March 20.-The body
of Michael Griffin, which was found
cold in death at the sheep camp six
miles southeast of town yesterday, and
brought here last evening, is being
buried at O'Clock this afternoon. The
deceased was a bachelor, about % years
old. He was feeding some cattle at
the camp and living alone in the wagon.
Chris Nelson. who has been helping
him to feed the cattle, and who lives
about three miles away, left the camp
wagon about O'Clock Friday evening
Griffin was there, but did not seem 10
be feeling well. He had been little
rambling in his talk. Nelson tried TO
get him to consent to have the doctor
or some one come and stay all night
with him, but Griffin had refused. say
ing he would be all right in the morn
ing. Nelson went home and came on
Saturday to feed the cattle He no.
ticed that things were very quiet about
the wagon, and, after doing the feed
ing went to see what was the matter.
After calling for Mike and receiving
no answer. he crawled into the camp
and found the body lying on the bed.
Word was sent into Corinne and
coroner's Jury held an inquest right in
the wagon, before the body had been
removed from the he'd. During the
investigation of the jury a tomato can
with two empty strychnine bottles
were bound in the camp stove. They
were small bottles, but looked as
though they had lately been opened.
The jury's verdict was: Cause of
death unknown" No autopsy was
held.
Mike" Griffin. as ne was Familiarity
known among the stockmen, came to
the state about IS years ago. He has
since been engaged in the stock bust
ness in the northern part of the state,
herding sheep Of his own and for 9TH
ers. This winter he has been feeding
q bunch of about leo head of cattle at
the camp. 1t is not known that he
has any relatives in the state. but from
papers it is learned that he has sister
in New York state.
Those who have been acquainted with
Inn are 10th to think that he would
take his own life. as indicated by the
telltale bottles. but some remarks that
he had made during the past ten days,
and the presence of the bottles that
had held the fatal dose. seem to force
that conclusion upon them. But the
fact that most sheep camps always
have some strychnine for poisoning
wolves, and that the body did not in
dictate any struggle in death, are
against the poisoning theory. There
were no indications of foul play. and
some hold that the cause of death was
most likely heart disease.
