CADETS MAKING PLANS.

large meeting of the High school ca
diets was held in one of the assembly
rooms yesterday and plans for this years
encampment were discussed. Two places
for the location of the camp were suggest
ed. one the Yellowstone Park and the
other the grounds used last year at Amer
lean Fork. No decision was reached. but
American Fork will probably be selected
on account of the expense of the Yellow
stone Park trip.
Spring drill for the cadets has COM
menced in earnest. During the winter
months the drills have been held i'm the
new gymnasium. The drills are now held
out on the campus. IL is Captain Webb S
plan to have a regular battalion parade
every Friday in order that the cadets may
be familiar with these evolutions at the
time of the governors review and the
larger events later in the season.

fine work lately, Will give a concert in

Probable Lynching Averted.

Mrs Vance of Ogden came to my house
and abused me for what | had done. 9th
ers said that / should have allowed some
neighbor to make complaint But | could
see no reason why | should have waited
for a stranger or mere acquaintance to do
that which it was my duty TO do as a
sister to the murdered wife. In addition
to that ] probably saved Thomas Vance
from being lynched. One of my relatives
informed me that he would have had
Thomas Vance arrested if ] had not. But
he would have been toe late. Had the
officers not taken Thomas Vance from his
house on the day | swore to the complaint
lynchers. | am convinced would have
dragged him out. A lynching party was
being organized while he was being taken
TO jail"
Mrs Thomas Vance left a family of
four children These were taken to Mrs.
George Nance's home. This made nine
children in the house. as Mrs. Vance has
five little ones of her own. The burden
of caring for so many children was too
great for the dead woman's sister. and
Bishop Miller has found homes for Mrs
Thomas Vance's little brood. Each of
the children is in the home of a substan-
tial family and each will be adopted at
the close of the Vance murder trial, if
Thomas Vance is convicted. If he is ac-
quilted, he can claim the children.
