Blow to Parents.

Master Hemming, son of Mr. and
Mrs. August Olander, was drowned in
the Horn Silver pond at Murray yester-
day at o'clock. Three boys, Hemming,
his brother, who is two years his senior,
and Roy Woods, the little hero who es-
capped the fate of Vinal Hull in the
railroad wreck some two months ago
by just a hairs breadth, were return
ing home from school, and thought they
would stop at the old Horn Silver pond
on their way home and have a little
amusement with a small log raft con-
structed by the boys, and which had
served their Whims at times before.
Hemming Ventured out alone this time,
and realizing that he was getting out
from shore Il little too far, he got ner-
Vous and began TO paddle with a fiat
stick. In trying to reverse his course
he got too near the edge of the raft,
which tipped, with the result that he
slipped off, and before anyone could
come to his rescue, was drowned.
The boy was unable to swim, and
his playmates could not help him. Rev.
Johnson, DR.. Merritt and Mr.. p Cahoon
We're the first ones on the scene. and
they worked with him a long time after
he had been gotten out and tried their
best TO restore him, but without sue
cess.
The boy was years old on the 9th of
last December. The parents are grief
stricken. The time for the funeral has
not been decided

IDENTITY OF A SADDLE.
Question at Issue In a Housebreak-

The trial of George Davis on charge
of housebreaking began yesterday
afternoon in Judge Norrelrs court.
Davis is accused of breaking into the
Utah Strengthening company's place at
Murray in May, 1897, and making away
with a saddle.
The mooted point in the case is as to
the identity of the stolen saddle. A
half dozen persons on behalf of the
state swore that saddle which Davis
sold to man named LangSton of Muir
ray was the stolen saddle. A like num-
Der on behalf of Davis swore positively
that it was not the stolen saddle, and
specifically described the one which was
taken.
The case will probably be concluded
this morning. Assistant County Attor-
ney Van Colt is prosecuting Davis, and
j. NJ. Hamilton is defending the ac-
cuSed man.
