GUSS|E CRAWFORD DROWNED
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT THE
PHOENIX MILL POND.
Boat Was Overturned and the Boy
Quickly Sank-only Son of His
Widowed Mother.

Gussie Crawford. a 16-year-old boy,
was drowned in the Phoenix mill pond
yesterday afternoon. The boy, with two
other boys named Shaw, were in a
small canoe padding about. Young
Crawford, so the other boys say, made
careless movement, and upset the
frail craft, leaving all three boys in
water about II feet deep, and about
125 feet from shore.
All the boys could swim, and they
struck out for the nearest shore. VIII
liam Shaw, a son of Ambrose Shaw,
and the largest of the two Shaw boys,
made the bank without difficulty. but
his cousin, also named William Shaw,
was almost exhausted, and was sup
ported part of the way by the others.
The larger Shaw boy said that when he
first looked back Gussie was coming,
but later he had disappeared.
Bystanders on the south bank saw
the accident and said young Crawford
sank after swimming a few strokes.
They ran around to the north bank,
giving the alarm at the Phoenix mill
as they passed. Frantic efforts were
made to get the boy out and a large
crowd collected, but there being no
boat and no graphing hooks at hand,
fatal minutes slipped away. until even
the mOSI SdnBulne naQ TO ADMIT LndI
resusciation would be impossible.
The grief of the boys mother and
sisters was pitiful, and spurred men, on
TO desperate efforts, but the body, it
appeared, could not be found. Crap
ping hooks and poles were brought and
two RATS floated. The water was low
cred about four feet by throwing up the
head gates, and Sam Thomas, Vivian
Hatch, William Craig and Rolph Pid-
cock began a systematic search of
every foot of the pond.
For more than two hours the efforts
went on, while an awe-stricken crowd
of hundreds of men, women and chill
dren watched the searchers. For the
most part the bottom was clear. Now
graphing hook would catch some
thing and the hundreds of spectators
would hold their breath. while the
something was brought to the surface.
Once the object was a log, again a
tangle of weeds and moss was brought
TO the surface. and it was not until
o'clock that the pole welded by Mr.
Craig brought up the lifeless body. The
limbs of the boy were cramped and
drawn.
Gussie Crawford was the only boy of
his mother, Mrs. Nina Shaw. widow
living at 1545 Washington avenue, near
the scene of the drowning. The body
was removed to Lindquist's undertake
ing parlors, where a jury summoned
by Justice Hall may hold an inquest
this morning.

Pennington, June 1.-THE board of

made on lands in the extreme southern
Part Of the county, near the stock
yards.

Stock Yards company. was given re-
duction of $1,000 on Improvements, and
s.. 040 on real estate.
Judge Andrew Howat, representing
the Bonneville Land and Water COM
pany. secured a reduction of $3.50 on
$50 acres. originally assessed at $40. $50.
J. II. White, for White & Sons COM

behalf of the Union Light ard Power
company, appeared before the board
and protested against an assessment of
81. 600 per mile on the company's cleo
trio transmission line leading to Salt

modest demands. if acceded to. will re-
duce his comDanys assessment more

consider the matter.
Mr. Campbell made the statement
during the investigation, that. the gas
wells in Centerville are practically ex-
hausted, and that during the past
winter his company has lost nearly &c.,
600 in producing artificial gas to make
up the deficiency caused by the natural
gas supply failing. At times not more
than 20 per cent of the gas nsed in Salt
Lake City came from the wells. he
said. and yet the company were forced
to supply gas to customers at the nat-y
uraI gas price, so cents, although the
artificial product costs more than 81
He urged this as a reason why the gas
mains should not be assessed so high.

TIMIDITY OF CHILDREN.
To Shield a Child From Fears Is a
Sacred Trust.

Woman's Home Companion: The
first natural duty of mother is to pro-
tect her young; to create around it
shelter, in the midst OF which the ten
der thing can srOw. secure from shocks
and seeing and hearing only what is
good for it to hear and see. By
learning the signs - fear in a young
child, and knowing how TO distinguish
true fear from wiIiT:lness, they Will
be able to exert d soothing and pro-
tecting influence at the right moment,
and avert danger. whose consequences
are serious, almost beyond belieI in the
case of our highly organized, eXcitable,
modern children.
1T is the mother, rather than the
father, who is called upon TO secure the
blessing of a sound imagination to her
children. She ought to begin away
back in the beginning-with the very
first surroundings of the new born in
FAINT. Let it find its early life peaceful,
quiet and unhurried. And when infancy
mergeS into that older period when
young faculties are springing forward
in rapid development, and each day
the little one takes on more OF the hue
of it's larger fellow creatures, let her
be doubly careful that no UntimeIy
scare stunts it's intelligence. II is said
that to be afraid of shadows is an in
evitable experience of childhood. Yet I
know one small fodder who never has
shown any such disposition. but whose
great delight is TO play with her own
shadow and other shadows, when the
lights are brought in each night. She
is a peculiarly sensitive, sympathetic
little thing. and could easily be made
ti-nid by unwise treatment But, IN
der the sheltering care OF fond and jul
dicious parents, she is remarkable for
not knowing what it is 10 be afraid
and although she is given TO unpleas-
ant dreams, as many young children
are. and often awakened with a start,
a low word or touch sOOthes her into
serenity. Happy above others is the
little child who thinks Of his mother as
a veritable refuge from trouble, a bull
wark against danger and sympa-
thiaing presence"
