TELLS OF DAYS WHEN
NELSON WAS MARSHAL

Warden Arthur Pratt, OF the Utah
state prison, was deeply touched when
advised OF the death OF Colonel Nelson.
Warden Pratt was chief deputy under
Colonel Nelson when tho colonel was
United States marshal for Utah and Il Is
probable that neither had a closer or
more valued friend than the other
Speaking OF his association with
Colonel Nelson yesterday, Warden Pratt
said:
Colonel Nelson came here In the
spring OF 1876 TO assume the Office
OF United States marshal, having
been appointed 10 the position by
President Grant. For approximately
three years succeeding I was colonel
Nelson's chief deputy and was with
him almost daily during that period
Colonel Nelson was a wonderfully
strong man in many ways and q
unique character. II was not easy
TO win his friendship. as he was not
as easily approached as many men.
but once formed his friendship was
everlasting. Another thing about him
was that he did not know fear when
duty was involved

Former United States Senator Kearps

Nelson's death. said:
Death has removed one OF Utah's
noblest men. For years he has been
leading citizen and force OF great
value In the progress OF the commit

whom I always had the highest es-
teen. He was the soul OF honor and
problty. IL was in his nature to give
every man his due. Justice and square
dealing were among his most con-
spicuous characteristics.
Through a long career on The Trlb-
une, ne devoted mis- talents TO uphold
Ing what he earnestly believed TO be
righteous causes. No one could doubt
his sincerity, and for slat reason all
men who really knew him as no was
respected him even when they did not
agree with him

Colonel Nelson was very promi-

In the. early days here. He was a
man Of very positive convictions and
he had the courage OF his convictions.
After serving his term as United
States marshal he became managing
editor OF The Tribune. In which po-
siuon he served for many years.
In 1891 he was elected a member
OF the school board OF Salt Lake City.
In 1892 l was mayor OF Salt

our modern school buildings were
constructed. Colonel Nelson did more

present high standard of efficiency
than any other member who ever
served on the board.
Only a few days ago I suggested
to him that his extensive work must
be proving very wearying. The colo

so and said that he felt in perfect
