MRS. F. P. ANGEL BURNED
To DEATH IN IDAHO

The following from the Rupert. Ida
no, Pioncer-Record refers to the sad
death of a former resident of Ogden.
A telegraph message received by
her parents in Rupert Wednesday
morning announced the terrible intel
ligence that Mrs. F. P. Angel. nee Miss
Ruby Shilling, had been most serious
ly burned at their summer camp on the
government reclamation works near
Caldwell, by the explosion OF an a!co-
hol stove. and later in the day sub
sequent message announced that the
lady could not live and requesting the
presence OF those OF her family VINO
could possibly come to her. Her father,
w n. Shilling. and her brother ana
sister. Mute and Lucille. departed on
the early Afternoon train. This morn
ing another message received. this one
by the X. P's.. merely conveyed word
that the body would arrive on tomor-
rows train.
This is not only terrible shock TO
her aged parents and other relatives
but to this entire community. Ruhy'
as she was famillarly and lovingly ad-
dressed by almost every one who kne"
her was the daughter Of MI and Mrs.
w n. Shilling of this place, and from
the earliest settlement OF this project
until her marriage to Mr.. F. P, Angel,
little more than a year ago hNed
here with her parents, and so sweet
was her disposition. and so kindly her
manner that among all who knew her
not one is there who did not dearly
love her.

Agent ]. NJ Kimmel. the number of
local employees of the Pullman COM
pany has been largely Increased and

by District Agent kimmel.
From 60 10 rs Pullman cars arrive
and leave Ogden on the various pas
senger trains centerlng In this city
every twenty-four hours, and while
these are all subject to inspection by
the district agent, the crews OF each

Those who had witnessed anything

Instead of two thousand people Wis

This was unfair to the Fair associa-
