intended to bluff Thomas into
leaving the building She went
to his office and after trying to
get a settlement drew her gun
and ordered h m from the
building. Thomas laughed and
refused and turned back in his
chair. There was a flash and
Thomas fell dead, with a bullet
wound through his head, the
ball having entered the corner
of his left eye.
The revolver used was a
thirty eight automatic Colt.

children. He had a sister here,
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

lake from the rivers and creeks enter ing it.
 So far as is known no natural outlet
 exists, but the lake supplies an irrigat-
 ing system in the country adjacent
 that requires a quantity of water year ly equal to depth of four inches of the present area. This is very small proportion of the volume of water that enters it through it's feeders. so the scientists know the water escapes ill some other manner than by the irri- gation canal or by evaporation. This is proved by the fact that the increase in the quantity that enters the lake at rainy season at times does not increase its depth, and the records show that actually it has fallen immediately after the Jordan and other streams have contributed a larger volume than usual
 Near what is called Antelope island is an indication that subterranean opening exists. Frequently the waters near the island are so violently dis turbed that people in the vicinity call this place the 'maelstrom" and care, fully avoid it when on the lake ill boats.
 A number of years ago. it is said. q sailing vessel loaded with sheep chanced to approach too near the "maelstrom." and despite the strong breeze that was blowing the force of

The Great Salt lake of Utah con

 After his speech the oldest daughter of the oldest resident is elected queen of the holidays. Her corps of as sistants is quickly chosen from the ed ucated classes. and from their decis- ions pertaining to the weeks celebra, ton there can be no appeal. During the remainder of the day many speeches are given. refreshments of many kinds are served, and family groups flock together and relate their own folklore. while the queen. assisted the various fowls to be served on the following and subsequent days.

At a prearranged signal all the people begin march around, singing and dancing: the grindstones are put in motion. the axes are laid upon them and the celebration is on in earnest, The singing. dancing and counter marching are continued until the axes have attained n keen edge. when all heads are uncovered. while dozen men hand up the fowls for decapita- ton. The women take the slain fowls in charge. and soon they arc prepared for the earth ovens.
 | Feasting, drinking and dancing then continue until the last day of the year. when all depart to their various camps.
