brought the news Of the death of Judge
William G.. Hall at his winter home at

were to the effect that his health was
returning, and this fact made the news
Of his death unexpected.
Judge Halls health has not been the
best for some years. His last illness,
which took the form Of a complication
of diseases began early in March while
be was in Salt Lake. He was taken to
the Holy Cross hospital, where for d
time his condition was very critical he
was suffering at that time from COM
plication Of oedema and heart trouble. For
several DAYS mis- life was despaired OF
Still he rallied from the shock. and on
March p, though still far from vel, ms
condition had improved to such an eX-
tent that he was able TO go to Los An
geels. The trip was made in the hope
that the milder weather and the lower al
dtude would strengthen his physical con-
dItiOn.
After arriving in Los Angeles Judge
Hall was apparently rapidly regaining
his health. Shortly after his arrival his
condition was such that he was able 70
take short walks The reports OF his
condition were so favorable that his
friends in Salt Lake believed him out Of
danger. a few days ago. however. there
came sudden cndUge TOT the worse. ana
Judge Hall grew rapidly weaker until the
end came
For many years Judge Hall has been
one of the foremost citizens of the state.
He always took a. prominent part in. pub
lie affairs. and was rightly regarded as
one OF the big men of the west. All of
his public actions were fTreproachable
and his supporters were not confined TO
any class or to any party But II was in
private life that Judge Halls sterling
characteristics We're best shown. His
personal friends were only limited by the
range of his extensive acquaintance.
Born in the south and living in the
west. Judge Hall had combined in his
nature southern chivalry and charm, and
the warm-hearted hospitality of the west
Ever considerations, much Of judge
Halls philanthropy. always graciOusly

was these kindly acts that endearedN him
to the people of Utah and that yesterday

years later he moved to Salt Lake.

One OF Judge Halls early partnerships
in Utah was with John A Marshall, now

ago n settlement was effected between
the representatives Of the attorney gen

incidentally the Morton Trust company.
For three years the proceedings in this

Believes Worst Is over.

Superintendent Holiday said last night
that in his estimation, the worst stage
of the flood has passed The snow Is
nearly all off the north side Of the can
Won. and that on the south side is melt
ing so slowly that the danger of flood
from this source is more remote
One Of the serious phases Of the flood
situation was that the pressure in the
CITY mains. because of the scarcity OF
water. was so slight as to threaten the
efficiency Of the fire department To pre-
vent the possibility Of trouble along this
line. the firemen have kept the steamers
under a fun head Of steam. As a fur
ther preCaution the employees of the wa
terworks department are prepared TO cut
off the water supply from all other parts
of the city and to send all the available
water to the mains in the district where
there IS fire.
The flood situation in other parts Of the
citv IS still alarming. The water In all OF
the canals and streams tributary to the
Jordan river is nearly at the overlooking
point Along the banks of the Jordan
river where the streams have backed
I'D into surrounding yards and filled the

age has been sustained. There is so much
snow in the mountains that the danger
of disastrous flood which would be
caused by q succession of hot days will
not be passed for another month
