LITERALLY COOKED TO DEATH,


The body of Frank Callahan. young
man employed ut the Jordan Narrows
electric plant, was brought to this city
last evening and taken to the under
taking establishment of Joseph william
Taylor. Callahans death was an I'M
usual and most shocking one.

very deep and the water exceedingly
hot. Callahan, 1t appears, became
venturesome and got out to a point
where he was unable to assist himself
and became fast in the mud. There
he remained until yesterday, when his
llfeless body was extricated by Il res
cuing party. In the meantime his
flesh had been literally cooked and fen
away from his bones in pieces. An
inuuest was held before Justice Mouse
ley and verdict Of drowning returned.
Tho deceased was &c years of age,
u native of Iowa. an electrician by
profession. and was formerly en-
pluyed by the Big Cottonwood Power
