years of age. n private Of company h,
Fort Douglas, was seriously injured at
1870 clock yesterday afternoon. His
neck was badly wrenched, and il was
at first thought it was broken.
Beruuist climbed to a point about
sixteen feet from the surface and dove
off head first His failure to appear
at the top of the water caused alarm
among his friends, and he was rescued
from what might have been death by
drowning. His body was paralyzed
from his neck down.
He was taken to the post hospital at
Fort Douglas in this city, where mcdi-
cal attention is being given. 1t is
thought he may recover.
Berquist was attending the celebra-
tion OF the Spanish war veterans Of
Utah. According to the management
of the bath house at Lagoon, Berquist
has on several previous occasions dove
safely from the high point. lnexperi~
enced swimmers are, as rule, not
allowed to make the high dive, but the
before caused those in charge not to
interfere with him.
He struck the water at wrong an
gle, it is believed.

with a woman friend at s clock,
Ralph W. Condor. % years of age, liv-
ing at the Lake hotel in this city, was

unidentified soldier, who is said to be
a member of company 4 at Fort Doug
las. Condor was brought to this city
last night. where after being attended
at the police emergency hospital, he
was taken to his home. His injuries
are not considered as serious,
According TO Condor s story, he did
not know that he was stabbed until his
friend noticed blood on his shoulder.
A soldier had walked to his side and,
as Condor thought. slapped him on the
shoulder Condor tainted before the
merry-go-round had stopped, and fell
from the horse on which he was
riding. His assailant is still at large.
