LOCAL-PERSONAL'
Death of Burns
Deeply Affects
his Friends

With tears streaming down his
face. w. II. Grogan, a carpenter and
close friend of John Burns, car
penter. aged 40 years. who died sud
denly Monday at Smaller Town, gave
his testimony at the inquest held by
Coroner Cartwright. The scene was
an affecting one. After hearing the
testimony the jury returned ver-
diet of death caused by pneumonia
complicated with heart trouble. :"
The jurymen were James Bemnish,
w. s. Terry, William H. Smell. r. C.
Mallori and C. C. Leake.
The evidence showed that Burns
had been in i'll health for some time
and on three consecutive days had
suffered spasms, during the last of
which he died. Grogan, a friend of
20 years standing, and for nearly
eight years the room mate of the de-
ceased. testified that so far as he
knew Burns had no living relatives.
He was an orphan, having been rails
Ell in an orphanage. He had heard
him once mention an aunt, but did
not know where she lived. As he
told of the virtues of his dead COM
rade tears rolled unrestrained down
his cheeks while there was hardly
dry eye in the house. The testimon-
ial given by every witness examined.
to the good traits of character which
distinguished Burns, was a high one.
The body was yesterday brought
to this city, being placed in charge of
Undertaken Griffin. As yet no ar
rangements for the burial have been
made. It is probable. however, that
services will be held here tomorrow
under the auspices of the Masons and
the carepnters union, of which bod
les he was a member in good stand

Fourth Of July Gel.
ebratiOn Talk

1t is probable that within the next
few da.s a campaign will be launch
ed for .he purpose of bringing about
a big Fourth of July celebration in
the district.
BY the time the great national hol-
iday Is due, the concentration and
smelter at McGill will be in steady
operation with completed units,
while at the mines things will be
going ahead vigorously, with big
working forces engaged on regular
production.
Conditions will in consequence be
excellent in the district for the hold
ing of great celebration, at which
there Is no doubt that hundreds of
people would congregate from vari-
Gus portions of the state and also
from U.ah. The Western Pacific will
by THAI time be operating daily
train into the camp from Salt Lake
and would undoubtedly extend aid
through low rate for big excur-
sion from Salt Lake. Hundreds of
people in that city alone have inter-
ests in the district and would be
glad OF opportunity to come here and
spend The day helping celebrate the
Fourth and in looking around the
camp, of which they have heard so
much and which they hold in high
esteem as the greatest copper coun-
try in the world
As yet the matter of big local
Fourth of July celebration has only
been mentioned as an event that it
would be desirable to have, but a
definite line of work to bring about
the desired end is now being consid-
cred and will shortly be got in form
that will allow the beginning of an
intelligent and general effort to at
tain result in the biggest celebration
the county has ever witnessed

Answer In Ac.
ton for Hold
of Child

A counter petition to that filed by
William H. Smith, asking appoint
ment as guardian to Willie Thomas,
Was filed yesterday by Walker Il
Boreman as attorneys for Mrs, Jean
cite McDougal, grandmother of the
boy. 1t is under the caption "Ob-
lection to the issuance of letters of
guardianship to William IL. Smith,
and a petition for issuance of letters
of guardianship of Willie Thomas to
Mrs. jeanette McDougal
Mrs. McDougal states that she is
the nearest of kin to the boy at pres
ent living, as his mother, her daugh-
ter. is dead, while his father, Peter
Thomas. convicted of assault with
a deadly weapon upon j. c. Harvey
at Cherry Creek In 1906. is in prison
She several weeks ago filed petit
ton asking that Smith be dismissed
from his position as administrator,
because of his management of the af-
fairs of the estate of her husband.
Her reasons alleged at that time are
equally cogent, as those she advances
against his being made guardian of
the boy.
She further protests against his
appointment as guardian because of
the blood and business relationship
existing between herself and her
grandchild. She states that she would
have to be more or less associated
with Smith, with whom she is on
very unfriendly terms at present. In
view of all of which she asks that
his petition be set aside while she be
appointed to the guardianship.
Following as 1t does close upon
the heels of the filing of the petition
of Smith, the document placed on
record yesterday seems to give prom
