JAMES B, EuSTIs IS DEAD
EE-gT
He sUCCUMBs TO AN ATTACK OF
PNEUMONIA.
End Came While at His Summer
Home at Newport, r. I.-Once Am
bassador to France.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 9.-James B.
Eustis, ambassador to France during
the second Cleveland administration.
and formerly a senator from Louisiana.
died at his summer home in this city
at o'clock tonight, of pneumonia.
Mr. Eustis was taken Ill on Wednes-
day, but the local physician thought
the trouble to be heart failure. The pa
tient grew worse on Thursday, devel-
oping symptoms of pneumonia, and on
Friday there was consultation OF
physicians, who stated that there was
scarcely any hope of recovery. The end
came tonight very peacefully Mr..
Eustis' son, James b. Eustis. 1r., and
his daughter Miss Celeste Eustis, were
at the bedside. No arrangements have
vet been made for the funeral, but it is
thought the body will be taken to
Louisiana
Mr.. Eustis came to his su3nner home
on Charming avenue, as was his Gus
tom. early in July, intending to remain
until autumn. All the early part OF the
summer he was in excellent health, de-
voting many hours to a critical review
of the Dreyfus case, in which was en-
bodied much valuable material gath
cred during his official residence IN
France.
The extreme heat Frustrated Mr.. Eus-
tbs. and at the time it was attributed in
part 70 overwork AS he had never
been troubled with his heart. no special
anxiety was felt at the prostration. and
later he seemingly recovered his
strength and vigor.
1t was not until the recurrence of the
trouble the past week that his Illness
was looked upon in serious light, and
then 1t was diagnosed as secondary
pneumonia. From the rapidity with
which dissolution came. it Is evident
that the disease was firmly rooted in
the earlier attack.

YOUNG LADY CAUGHT.
Belonged to Prominent Family and
Was Released.

A very well known young lady, re-
lated to one of Salt Lakes oldest and
most respected families, came to grief
yesterday because of having appropri-
ated to herself several small articles
from a. Main street dry goods store.
One of the proprietors was informed
by saleswoman of the young girls
act of pilfering, and he followed her
up the street to take her to task for
the indiscretion. But she was accom-
panied by her fiancee. and the dry goods
man was charitable enough to postpone
the accusation of theft until she was
alone.
The shoplifter confessed her sin and
paid for the goods, but even then she
seemed to not comprehend the enormity
of her offense. Phi
Out of the goodness of his heart the
merchant although a frequent loser by
shoplifting tactics, has concluded to not
prosecute the girl. 3 Her family connec-
lions are of the best and it is thought
strange that her salary as a stem
ographer would not maintain her.

STATE FISH HATCHERY.
Warden Sharp Failed to Find Desir-
able Location In Cache.

State Fish and Game Warden Sharp,
who has been for the past four days in
Cache county, returned home night be-
fore last. He has been inspecting the
springs of Cache county, with view
to locating a desirable place for a fish
hatchery site. He failed in his design,
however, there being no place that
could be used for that purpose.
Mr.. Sharp stated that there has been
much neglect in the matter of fish ways
and screens. and the streams are al
most barren of fish. The Cache county
commissioners manifested deep inter
est in the matter, and will lend their
aid toward protecting the fish and game
of their county. Paradise creek, just
south of Logan, will be closed, and will
be stocked with trout.
The question of the location of thu
hatchery will be decided within the
next two weeks. Mr.. Sharp is still re-
ceiving bids.
