and Mr.. Williams also let go of the
rope which was pulling the boats at
the rear. The men in the scow
were then in water nearly to their
waists and as the craft kept going
down, they saw that their only hope
was to desert the sinking scow.
Three of them got to shore after
hard struggles, bat Young Shields
was unable to swim and his high
top rubber boots filing with water
served as q weight to pull him be-
meath the surface. Although he
cried for help, there seems TO have
been so much excitement and con-
fusion among the men that no one
ventured to his rescue, and Young
Shields went to his untimely death
not more than 100 feet from tho
place where the boats were to have
landed. The canal at that point is
about 90 feet wide, with about ~
feet of water running in it.
The body was recovered in about
an hour and brought to the Vincent
Undertaking establishment in this
city, where it was prepared for
shipment to Tooele, it being EN-.
balmed by Joseph Fuller of Coke
vile.

was held Monday night. A jury
was summoned by Thos. Barrett,
who acted as coroner in the absence
of Coroner Nowland. After view
ing the pody and hearing the evi.
dence the jury returned the follow
ing vetdict:
I'VE find that the deceased, Gran

2sth day OF April, 1918, by drowning
by the sinking of a scow In which Il,
was being conveyed to his worl
