ISAAC OLIVER is DEAD.
Park City Man Expires Suddenly Of
Cerebral Hemorrhage.

Isaac Oliver, a well known resident
Of Park City, died suddenly yesterday
in Salt Lake, at the residence of friends
at 511 South State street. He was
found unconscious yesterday morning
and expired about o'clock in the aft
ernoon. His death IS said to be the
res1iJ of sudden development of cere-
bral heynorrhage.
Mr. Ohver came to Salt Lake Fri
day from his home to attend to some
buginess affairs, and went to the home
OF his friends TO remain over night
Yesterday morning when the people Of
th2 house woke and went to his room
they noticed that he was apparently
sleeping very soundly, but, thinking
that he was only tired out and getting
a needed rest, they lett him alone with
out disturbing him. About IL o'clock
it was suspected that all was not right.
and DR.. Charles Chandler was sum
noned. The doctor fouuV the patient
unconscious, and from his Examinations
he determined that Mr.. Oliver was suf-
fering from the bursting OF a blood
vessel in the brain, near the base. The
patient fingered until O'clock. but
never regained consciousness.
His wife was summoned as soon as
his condition was learned, but she did
not arrive until two hours after his
death She told the doctor that her
husband had not been we'll for some
time, but had never complained OF any
trouble in his head. The doctor does
not know to what TO trace the cause Of
the hemOrrhage. Mr. Oliver was about
~ years Of age
The funeral services win be held from
A. S. Watson's undertaking parlors at
D. m. Monday under the auspices Of
the Jewish congregation, the I. @. 0. T.
and Maccabee combined.

directions on a package which Mrs.

across the street
IN the midst of the reading Mr..
Prichard gasped for breath and after
attempting to utter a cry for help ex-
pired in the presence Of his wife Al
though he had not been complaining if
was known that he had a weak heart
and the failure Of il to perform its
functions is deemed to be the cause of
his sudden death.

years. He was native of Wales and
a miner by occupation In the mining
districts of Park CITY. Alta and Binr-
ham he was known as a capable miner

vented by the arrival Of the family
who frightened away the robbers.
Bishop Preston was at Logan yester-
day and his family spent the day in
Cottonwood. They returned shortly
after O'Clock and, driving 10 the home
were at once startled by sudden flares
of light followed by darkness. They
watched the place from the carriage

taken TO her bed shortly afterwards,
and, although she manifested a re-
markable vitality to the last. the dis
ease was too severe for her and death
released her spirit yesterday morning.
Mrs. Arthur had a most eventful
career in the early times of Utah Hav-
ing come here with the expectation of
finding a beautiful city, she found a
valley of sage brush, and for years
lived among the hostile Indians, ex-
pecting at any time to be attacked by
the redskins. Fortune seemed against
her, she married a wealthy husband
and saw his wealth fade away. and
secured interests in the iron fields of
the state only to die just at the time
when there is some, promise of the
field becoming valuable.
Mrs. Arthur was born in south Wales
in 1888. She was well educated and
took a special course in English. IN
der the preaching of the Mormon mis-
sionaries she Joined the church along
with some 400 other Welsh citizens. IN
the year Of 1S49 the missionaries start
ed for Utah and she was selected as
interpreter from the fact that she was
the only one understanding English.
After travelling up the Mississippi
river from New Orleans. she and her
party Of Welsh immigrants came by
OK wagons over the plains to these val
leys. After reaching here she met
Josiah Arthur, the son Of a wealthy
English merchant, who had come here
with a party of English emigrants.
They were married and for six years
lived in the southern portion of the
state, where her husband and father
in-law were interested in the develop
ment of the iron fields Of that section.
For those years they lived among
Indians, subsisting on their. means and
sinking more money in the then un-
productive iron mines Mrs. Arthur
was living in this section of the state
when the Mountain Meadow massacre
occurred, and she visited the party of
emigrants the night before they were
set upon and murdered After that
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur moved back to
this city and she has been a resident
here ever since. She was the mother of
a large family, but most of the chill
dren have preceded her to the other
side.
The funeral services will be held to-
day at 4 p. m. from the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Browning,
at ASS East Third South street Mrs.
Arthur left the Mormon church before
her death and the service will be con-

H!LTON GIVEN A WATCH.
Men on Force Pay Tribute to Retiring
Chief.

Chief.
Retiring Chief Of Police Thomas H.
Hilton was presented with a watch by
the men on the force at headquarters
yesterday afternoon. Shortly before
O'Clock the officers and men met in the
waiting room at the hall, and the as
sembly was soon after called TO order
by the patriarch Of the force, Desk Ser
geant Livingston.
1t is with great pleasure" he said,
that I have the opportunity Of show
ing, even in this feeble way, our deep
esteem and love for our retiring chief
tain. Thomas II. Hilton. Possibly he
has his faults. and, granting that, the
chiefest Of all is undoubtedly his
s5aunch loyalty to his friends and his
answering adherence to his ideas of
right and duty. But if he showed any
Of his faults while at the head of this
department the only one discernible to
the men was his leniency to his subOr-
dinates; and that is a falling of any
young man. He is young yet. and has
made a success of life this far. In the
future he viii continue to hold the con-
fdence and esteem Of his friends by
maintaining that reputation.
Il take this opportunity to present to
-----4 -AA-- fftAtNAA anu man as AUnAEn
Of our love and respect, and to assure
him that he retires with the heartiest
good wishes Of the whole force for his
future success and happiness.
In conclusion, I wish to say that
since we have new chief, it is the
duty of every man on the force to serve
his commands to the utmost Whenever
a man on the force cannot act in con-
Junction and in harmony with his chief,
n is time for him to retire"
The retiring chief was visibly affected
BY the remarks Of the speaker, and, in
accepting the watch, said:
i have only one regret at this time,
and that is that I am unfortunate
enough not to have had sufficient edu-
cation to express the feelings that arise
IT, me. 1 accept this gift. for / know
u is a mark of the love and esteem of
the rank and file Of the force. In re-
firing from q position which came to
me unsolicited, I can only say that the
success that has been achieved by the
department is due TO the men compris-
ing it. / have only stood at your head.
and have at all times done what could
10 assist you and 10 promote your in
terests while serving the interests of
the city / thank you from the bottom
or my heart, and shall keep it the rest
Of my life as a remembrance Of the love
and LOYALTY that existed between my
self and the men under me while act
ing in the capacity Of chief"
The watch is a handsome gold one,
with Jewel movements, and bears the
monogram Of the eX-ehief. On the in
side Of the back is inscribed: Present
ed 70 Thomas II. Hilton by members of
the salt Lake police force. May s. 1902"

CHIEF OF POLICE STARTS CRUSADE FOR
SUPPRESSION OF VICE IN SALT LAKE

All the women on Commercial street
were given notice yesterday that they
must move their quarters from the first
floors and keep of the streets or leave
the city by Tuesday A dozen or more
girls were found in saloons last night
and taken 10 headquarters, where they
were kept for a few hours and released
on the promise to remain at home in
the future. The father of one of the
girls was found in the saloon with
them buying the drinks and was locked
up for the night.
THE saloon question is of course the
hardest with which I will have to deal,
said the chief. SO many petty legal
points have been raised by the saloon
people when brought to trial that il is
extremely difficult for an officer to
know when 10 make an arrest But
each case they win only helps us to be
on the safe side the next time. That
form of violation of the law. however.
shall be stopped If il is within my
power and I shall use every means to
stop it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-05-11

A vigorous crusade for the suppress
sion Of vice in this city has been begun
by Chief Of Police Paul and orders
have been given to the officers 70 arrest

tional or InintentiOnal.

the attention Of the chief and his Sub
ordinates during the beginning of the
reformation of the city. Strict orders
were issued yesterday to all the officers
on duty that liquor selling on Sunday
must cease and every effort must be
made To apprehend the violators Of the
ordinance. The chief did not divulge
the manner by which ne would proceed
against the saloons, but stated that he

closed from u Saturday nights until
the following midnight. Special men
