n ROVO. Aug. 1S.-The first day Of
camp life at Camp Timpanogas
was marred by the death of Elijah
Lewis, aged 10. Twenty-second battery,
from Fort Douglas, Salt Lake City,
who enlisted last September in Ken
lucky. Whether he was killed as the
result of a quarrel between himself and
L. w. Burden, a member of the same
battery, or lost his life through the
careless handling of a loaded SS-cahber
revolver, remains to be seen.
Lewis now occupies slab in the
mOrgUe of a local undertaking estab-
lishment. Burden is under arrest in the
guard tent, charged with having a
loaded revolver in his possession con-
trary to orders Of the commanding Of
ficer at Fort Douglas. He stOutly
maintains that the killing was purely
accidental, the result of an accident,
which occurred while he was assisting
Lewis and half a dozen other soldiers
in pitching a Sibley tent.
The only eyewitness to the distress
sing affair was Burden, whose state

When seen after the affair Burden gave
the following account Of it: Lewis and
I were on the inside Of the tent holding
the center pole while the men on the out
side were driving the stakes. 1 was fac
ing Lewis. he being on the other side of
the pole. 1 had some money in the pocket
OF my shirt. which jingled- Lewis made
some jocliar remark about the money. ]
cannot recall just what he said Inen
he reached forward and pulled my reVol-
yer from my holster In doing so. after
he had the gun in the air, il was dis
charged and Lewis fell to the ground
with a cry Just then the boys on the
outside raised the walls of the tent and
rushed in.
"A few moments later Lieutenant Far
rar came in and / handed him my re
VOlvcr. I picked il up from the ground
where Lewis dropped 1t after he had ac-
CidentaIy shot himself
The men who raised the walls of the
tent almost Immediately after the shot
was fired said they saw LAWS prone on
the ground and Burden standing up with
the revolver in his hand. There are some
Of the men who assert they, heard heated
words between the two men just before
il is claimed that Lewis must have held
the revolver in n very difficult position,
pointing downward, his forearm being on
a level with his forehead. Some assert
that il would have been Impossible Tor
Lewis to have inflicted the injury upon
himself.
The question asked by many is how
Burden manaeed to pick up the revolver
so quickly after the shooting and why
he did not try TO afford some relief to the
injured man instead Of STOPPING down ana
picking up the gun. A brother of the
dead man heard the shot and was one of
the first to reach the side of the dead
man He is prOstrated with grief.

Facts in the Case.

The facts surrounding the case are
these. About o'clock Lewis and Burden
and half a dozen other members of the
battery were ordered to pitch a Sibley
tent. The men mentioned were on the
inside holding the pole which rests in the
socket of a tripod. Suddenly there was
a report of a revolver. followed by a cry
of pain. The men on the outside. who
were in the act Of driving spikes. raised
the flaps of the tent and said they be
held Lewis lying on the ground and Bur
den standing near him with a revolver in
his hand. The Frustrated man was placed
on a stretcher End taken to the hospital
tent of the national guard and attended
by Major G. Al Benedict of Salt Lake
City. The latter said the man was dead
before he reached him. He prObed the
wound and found that the course of the
bullet was almost directly downward, de-
fleeing a little to the left and TO the
rear sufficient to pierce the lower end OF
the heart. Death must have been in
Simultaneous.
Burden was Immediately placed under
arrest by Lieutenant Farrar of the reSu-
lar army, on the charge Of having a
( loaded revolver in his possession The
result of the official investigation. the
| findings of which are secret will be for
warded to Colonel Bubb at Fort Douglas.
In the meantime Burden will be kept
