Well Known Salem Farmer
and Former School Trustee
Takes Fatal Dose.

Ephraim Aug S-The suicide Of Lite
Gardner of Salem, Utah. was one of the
greatest shocks to this little town that
has ever been known to occur, as he was
one Of the most prominent men OF the
community.
For several days he had been acting
very peculiarly and seemed to be worry
ing over the expense Of building his
home. The family has been living on
the farm i'm the neishb0rhood Of Salem
but decided 20 build @ hone - me city.
The building was nearly completed.
Mr. Gardner was at Spanish Fork Tues
day morning for lumber and while there
purchased a bottle Of strychnine. lie re-
turned home with his load and during
the remainder of the day he went about
attending TO his work. but seemed to
be low-spirited. The following morning
he arose and FED his horses. after which
he sat down near the well, where he took
the poison.
Then he informed his, wife Of what
he had done. The physician summoned
did not arrive until after Gardner
death, which occurred fifteen minutes
after he had taken the poison.
Gardner was between 30 and % years
Of age and was esteemed by all. lie was
for several years one Of the trustees OF
the Salem schools and was always kind
and ready to assist the poor and SICK
in times of trouble
Mrs. Gardner and her family OF grown
children are heaTtbrOken.
The funeral was held yesterday and II
was one OF the largest funerals ever held
here. Interment was in the Salem eeme-
terry.

Colonial.

''Corianton" opened its weeks engage
ment at the Colonial last night, playing
to meagre audience. Tt seems strange
that a really good play, written by a
Salt Lake man, and headed by a Salt
Lake actor, Mr.. SWensOn, should receive
such inadequate support
The audience was in 8 dream during
the first act and did not rouse itself to
even give Mr.. SwensOn hand on his
entrance.
However, in the second act the audi
ence awOke from its lethargy and gave
the players a few scattered rounds Of
applause.
The players were all good; the stage
manag cement imperfect Mr. SeWsOn,
in the role of CCriantOn, showed himself
to be a powerful actor, combining an at
tractive stage presence with a fine, deep,
musical voice. He acted well and read
his lines beautifully, bringing out all his
points. but his finest bit. the close Of the
third act was killed by the premature
dropping of the curtain.
Miss KimbalL as ZOan, was just sweet
and slender enough TO cause a far
stronger man than COriant0n to follow
her, over the hills and far away.
The comedy was supplied by d Shakes
perean clown and little brown girl who
suffered.
The play as a whole ran very smooth
". except i'm places, where the actor took
the dialogue at too rapid a tempo.
The scenic effects and lights were all
up to the standard.
Altogether it is a good show. and should
receive the support of the Salt Lake
people.
