who died at her home March 81, and whose
death is deeply mourned not only by her

who was ever genial comrade and CHEEKY

Mrs. Farnsworth had been suffering
from i'll health for more than year, and
the surgical operation which was per-
formed on Monday was too late to be of
any benefit. The fatal termination was a
grievous shock to all.
Mrs. Farnsworth will be sadly missed,
for her kind heart prompted her to re-
spond to every call of distress, and her
presence in homes where death had en-
tered. with ready helm and sympathy. was
deeply appreciated; the destitute cases in
town were always known to her, and sub
stantjsl helm given. II can be truly said
of this noble soul that she sshath done

she has builded monument which shall

MANY LOCAL SECTION MEN
WENT OUT LAST NIGH

Yesterday morning only a few of
the Denver e Rio Grande section men
who work out of this city, went out
on a strike in obeyance to the general
strike order. but last night quite
a large number of others struck and
this morning there were about %
men who had quit work.
The railroad company brought in
a number of Greek laborers to take
the places of the strikers. This
morning these were put on, but the
strikers made a howl and for quite
while trouble between the strikers
and the Greeks was threatened. the
former announcing their determina-
ton of preventing the Greeks from
taking their places. However. a city
officer was summoned by the rail
road authorities, and the officer, go
ing to the railroad yards informed
the strikers that if they started a
fight, they would be arrested and
lodged in jail After reasoning and
debating. the strikers decided to
make no further protest at this time
and. leaving the yards, went to their
homes.
It was reported this afternoon that
between thirty and forty men were
out at this place and Whitewater, but
il is hardly thought that that many
have quit work.
The Greeks went to work this
morning but it is said that places
are open for a number of additional
men. The section service is not ser
iously crippled as a result of the
strike, as the places of the strikers
will be filled without much delay

HOW RASMUSSEN
MET HIS DEATH.

DElA
Further particulars of the tragic
death of Theodore Rasmussen, for
merly Of Fruita, at Provo, Utah, an
account of which appeared exclus-
lively in The Sentinel yesterday, have
been received at this office
The remains have been fully iden-
tilted as those of Rasmussen, and a
sister of the deceased. Mrs. Martson,
the wife of a feed store man at Pueb-
10, has been notified OF her brothers
death.
The body of Rasmussen was found
on the tracks of the San Pedro rail-
road, about . miles north of Provo,
on Wednesday evening. The sheriff
was notified and the remains we're
taken to Provo by that official and
prepared for burial. No inquest was
held. The body was terribly man
gled and bruised, and the right leg
had been cut of. He had been
dragged from some distance to the
north. Whether he fell from the
train or was knocked down while
walking along the tracks is not
known.
\ letter was found near the body.
badly torn and crumpled. and was
lodged IN frog of the track. This
letter was sent from Grand Junction
on July . to Louis Braun, Fruita,
Colo, and was marked returnable
to Theo. Rasmussen, Progress gro
Gerry and bakery, Grand Junction.
This letter directed to Braun was
what caused the authorities to first
believe that the man was Braun
However, Braun, who is at Fruita,
informed The Sentinel that he had
received the letter from Rasmussen
at Fruita while Rasmussen was in
Grand Junction. and, as the latter
wanted the letter returned, he hand
ed il back TO him as he passed
through Fruita en- route west, thus
explaining the incorrect identifca-
ton
However, on yesterday morning,
Theodore Goette, for many years a
resident of Grand Junction, but now
of Provo, fully identified the re-
mains as those of Rasmussen. The
dead man had been working at the
Royal bakery Of Provo, but took to
drinking and left Provo on Saturday
last.
The dead man was about 40 years
old and weighed about 175 pounds
Rasmussen left Fruita about
three weeks ago. 1t is not known
what disposition will be made with
the remains, but they will probably
be buried at Provo.
