PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
PURPOSE OF THE TROOPS IN THE
CoEUR D'ALENEs.
Captain Lyon Of the Army Testifes
Before the Congressional Investi-
eating Committee.

Washington, May 4-Captain H. G.
Lyon of the army testified before the
Occur d'AIene investigation today rela-
tive to the protection given by the troops
to the mining property in the disturbed
district. He said his orders contemplated
the protection Of life and property. and
particularly to prevent the destruction of
mines, the Tiger-PoOrman, was threat
ened with flood if the pumps quit, and as
the Burke Miners union ordered the men
to quit work, he stated at a meeting of
for the revocation of the order, subse-
quently giving ten.
He contradicted previous witnesses that
the five minutes was allowed the pump
men, with the threat that if they did not
work they would be put back at the point
of the bayonet
The hearing today was at times quite
exciting, owing to personal exchanges
between members of the committee.
Representative Hay of Virginia asserted
at one point that efforts were being made
by the majority TO suppress testimony.
Representative MOndeli of Wyoming said
that this assertion impugned the motives
of members and was due to a failure by
the minority to get answers they desired.
Hay holly retorted, throwing back the
insinuation and declaring It was an ''ab-
sOlute falsehood.
The frequency of these encounters made
the progress OF the testimony slow. Cap
tain Lyon Is the last witness, except those
in rebuttal to clear up minor points.
The taking of testimony in the Occur
d Alene investigation closed tonight,
after having continued umnteTYuptedly
since Feb. 10, a period Of nearly three
months. Captain Lyons closed the tes-
timony for the defense and, after hear
ing some rebuttal evidence, both sides
rested, and the committee excused all
witnesses. On Monday the arguments
Of counsel viii begin, probably cOnclud-
ing that day.

of Natural Causes.

Thomas Kell Gibson, an aged resi-
dent of this city, was found dead in
his room at 26 n street at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning by Daniel Kennedy,
friend of the deceased. He had
called to see the old man on business,
but = eceived no answer to the knock
at ne door. He raped several times,
bC~ still there was no response, and he
finally went to the window and peered
in.
The sight that met his gaze was
most CHASTITY one, and for few mo-
ments he was overcome. The old man
was lying on the floor, with his face
covered with blood, and his coat liter
ally saturated. In che hand he clutch
ed q clotted handkerchief. and the
other hand was covered with blood.
The floor was literally spTinkled, and
the sight was most horrible.
Although there were no marks of
violence On the face or body, the aD
pearanCe was highly Indicative of death
by some other than natural means.
Mr.. Kennedy accordingly telephoned
the police headquarters. The body was
removed to Joseph z. Taylor's under
taking establishment and an inquest
was held in the parlors.
Justice kTO6Scf conducted the IN
quest. Five witnesses were examined.
among them being County Physician
Anderson, who testified that the de-
ceased had evidently met his death by
natural causes. The cause assigned
was hemOrrhage of the lungs. Other
witnesses testified that the old man had
been complaining of pains in the re-
giOn of his heart for some time, and
the coroner's jury, John T. Lynch, A.
G. Brixen and z. A. King, brought in
a verdict that the deceased had met
his death BY natural causes.
Mr.. Gibson was 70 years old, and
had lived in this city for twe-.tv-seven
years. He is the father of James Glib
son, doOrkeeper at the Salt Lake the
atre, which position the father held for
years in the old days. For thirty years
he worked as a stOnecutter on the Nor
mon temple. The funeral will be held

teresting Talks.

Another of the interesting and in
structive art lectures given under the
auspices of the Utah Art Institute was
delivered at the laboratory building of
the University last evening by Mrs
Franc R. Elliott and Miss Elsa Ada
Faust
Miss Faust talked on the value OF art
and its influences on the conditions Of
everyday life, and its refining and ele-
waiting effect upon those who come in
contact with it. Her talk was prefuse-
~ illustrated with suggestive scenes
from life and nature.
Mrs. Elliott spoke strongly and elo-
quentIy on art in the public schools as
an educator which would make Of the
pupils well rounded men and women,
with broad and harmonious ideas and a
tender sympathy for the conditions of
life. She said the way to fight evil is
to teach art to the school children, thus
instilling into their minds a love for
beauty and harmony which will make
evil a thing to abhOr and shun. Mrs.
Elliott believes that every school should
be supplied with copies of the best art
works that the galleries Of Europe can
afford.
The next lecture will be next Friday
evening by Mr.. Albert Hager of the
High school. on the subject Of Modern
