JENS C. FolSTER DEAD;
FELL FROM a TREE

Ephraim, July 27.-Jens c. Folster,
one OF the pioneer residents Of this
city, was killed yesterday afternoon in
falling from a tree.
He had ordered a load of hay
brought to his home and there were
several limbs on a tree near the
driveway that might prevent the load
from passing, so Mr. Folster secured
his saw and ladder and was busily
engaged when he fell TO the ground
Some small boys were near who saw
him fall and at once ran 10 the neigh
bors to get help. NIels Kjelson and
Joseph Thorpe were soon on the
scene and Just as they came Mr.. Fol
ster breathed his last
Mr. FolSter was born In Denmark
seyenty-slx years ago, and shortly af-
ter his marriage he and his wife be-
came converted to the Mormon re-

lived there long when the Indian trou-
BILE began and they were driven
away. They then came to EDbraim,
where they have since made their
home and have been among the high
