DIED OF BLOOD POISONING
DEMISE OF MURRAY GIRL AT
HOLY CROSS.
Brought In to Have Operation Per-
formed, But Condition Was Such
That it Couldn't Be Attempted.

Sarah Jane, the 15-year-old daughter
of David and Elizabeth Jones of Muir
ray, died yesterday at Holy Cross hos
pital under peculiarly distressing cir
cumstances. The child some time ago
became afflicted with a pelvic tumor.
Lately it has grown rapidly worse, and
few days ago blood poisoning set in.
1t was concluded that an operation
would be necessary, and she was
brought to Salt Lake and taken to the
hospital. There Dr. Root was called
to see her. He saw at a glance that
he could be of no service, for the mall
ady had taken such a firm hold on the
girl that she was then in a dying con-
dition.
DIR. Root refused to perform the oper-
alton. Subsequent events justified his
position for in an hour the girl be-
gan to sink rapidly. and she soon
breathed her last. Her parents will
have the sympathy of their numerous
friends in their bereavement. Funeral
services will be conducted tomorrow af-
ternooa at o'clock from the South
Cottonwood meeting house

A. R. Strang Objects to Acquittal Of
j. L. Johnston.
LATTER KILLED HIS BOY
MURDERER Is TO HAVE A NEW
TRIAL.
Suggestion That the Defendant May
Be Discharged From Custody
Arousss the Elder Strang-strangs
Chain of Fatalities That Occurred
After the Killing-Story sof Crime.

A. r. Strang, son of William Strang,
who was killed by ]. L. Johnston in
Sweetwater county. Wyoming, last
! spring, called at The Herald office yes
terday to enter protest against the
! acquittal of Johnston, which Isl sug-
| gosted as possibility. Johnston was
convicted of the murder. and sentenced
| to spend the remainder of his life in
prison
He took an appeal and secured a new
trial. Mr.. Strang says that the killing
of his son was a deliberate murder.
The boy was working for the Two Bar
ranch, and stopped at Johnstons cabin
one night for food and shelter. He in
tended The next morning TO ride on
TO his home in yernal. He rose early
and started out to feed his horses when
Johnston shot him.
Lived Nineteen Hours.
He did not die instantly, but lived
for nineteen hours. 1t is not true, says
the elder Strang, that William was a
friend of Johnston's. He says that the
boy knew the desperate. In fact, he
knew too much about his doings, and
for that reason he thinks Johnston de-
termined to make way with him.
In this connection. Mr.. Strang showed
letter from Valentine S. Hoy. the
ranchman who was murdered by a
months ago. Mr.. Hoy spoke of the kill
ing of young Strang as a cold-blooded
and deliberate murder. He said he
hoped no pairs or expense would be
spared in securing the punishment of
Johnston.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
The verdict of the coroners jury
was TO the effect that the killing was
entirely unjustifiable. AS already stat
cd in The Herald, Johnston secured
new trial because the lower court re-
fused to admit dying statement from
William StnRng to the effect that he
did not believe Johnston had shot him
Intentionally.
The father accounts for this by say
ing that the boy was of a very for
giving nature. He could not conceive
why Johnston should want to kill him,
and in his dying moments his spirit of
forgiveness caused him to utter the
words on account of which Johnston
hopes to be cleared.
Many of the men who knew the cir
cumstances of the killing have since
been slain. One of the main witnesses
of Pigeon. was mysteriously murdered
not long after he gave his testimony.
No one who is willing to tell it Knows
by whom he was killed. Valentine Hoy
was another. A cowboy named Moore
was the third, and lately word has been
received of the murder of the deputy
sheriff who brought the news to YER
nal of Strang's death.
