Funeral Service.

On Sunday at 3p. m , at the Acad-

sincerely appreciative OF the special
care OF attending physicians and nur-

by Undertaken Lindquist. Naught

A Very
Sabbath

Helen c. Boyer, teacher at the New
Jersey Academy the past year and
half, died 1t the Bulge hospital FRI
day night at II O'Clock, following a
short spell Of typhoid and infiamma-
tory rheumatism. She had been taken
to the hospital scarcely week before
and It was not anticipated that the
case was necessarily very serious. Her
fever ran high, however, and she was
given the customary ice-pack treat
ment, after which infiammatory rheu-
matism developed In its worst form,
and though the patient was given the
constant care OF expert nurses and ex-
ceptional attention from the hospital
physicians, death soon claimed her.
Miss Boyer was perhaps p or % years
of age, and had come to Utah from
Doylestown, Penn, in January of last
year, entering upon her duties as
teacher Of the intermediate grades at
the New Jersey Academy. She was
small Of stature, but of large mind
and heart, capable and willing, and
though rather modest and retiring
had endeared herself greatly to her
close associates at the academy, to
whom her death was severe shock.
During her early illness the academy
people gave Miss Boyer all the loving
care that could have been her portion
had she been among her most devoted
relatives, and following her removal
to the hospital were with her as fire.

1t did not show that II one had been
committed that there was reasonable
cause to believe Burnley had commit
ted 1t. They also contended that the
information was defective in that It
did not allege the commission OF a
public offense. The information
charged both seduction and abduc-
ton, which are both separate offenses
under the Idaho code. Judge Woods
sustained them in their contention
and ordered Burnley released.
Burnley claimed at his preliminary
examination that he loved the girl
and that he intended to marry her.
and would have married her had his
plans not been interfered with by his
arrest. The state contended that
Burnley was taking the girl to Alaska
for immoral purposes.

had no political ambitions and who
therefore could not be made to listen
to the song of the siren that would
make them sacrifice the city's well

they failed in the battle, guilty or
not guilty, he said, the cry would
go abroad that they had sold out,
and it was inexpedient and unwise
to put men in a position where cry
like this might be raised against

who were free and untrammeled by
political ties, and not men who held
Office because Of the good will of
Hoffman. The two newspapers of

ent political parties and the fight be-
