ACCIDENTALLY KILLS
HIS COMP ANON

Last Sunday afternoon the saddest
hunting accident Of the year occurred,
when Alpha, the 14-year-old son Of A.
Barette, the local manager of the Gem
State Lumber Co., was shot and in
stantly killed by boy companion while
in the act of shooting a rabbit. The
full charge Of l0-gauge shotgun, at a
distance of seven feet entered the back
Of the skull, completely tearing the back
Of the head away and most Of the
forehead.
The bereaved and heart-broken par
ents have the sincere sympathy Of this
entire community in their almost un-
bearable sorrow. The funeral took place
this afternoon. Believing that the oc-
currence was doubtless accidental, Mr..
Barrette requested that Arthur Chang.
non, who did the killing, be not arrested
and that no investigation be held by
the coroner.

A BRUTAL SON

Last Sunday Peter Catron of Shell
ley was arrested and charged with an
attempt to murder his aged mother in
her home. The assault was made when
he was crazy with bootleg whiskey.
When neighbors came to the old moth
er 9 rescue her son had her down on
the floor where he was attempting to
choke her to death, and forcible eff
fort was made before he was pulled
off the PROSTATE form of the most de
voted and indulgent mother that man
ever had. He will be given a hearing
today, and his brother Charley will be
the complaining witness against him.

tween. He was married three times
and there were born to him and his
wives twenty-one children.
Born in Illinois
Mr.. Lyman, who was the eldest son
OF Amasa NJ. Lyman and his first wife,
Louisa M. Tanner, was born January
II, 1910, on the site Of the present
town of Good Hope, McDonough coun-
ty, Illinois, thus being nearly n years
at his death.
Becomes an Apostle
Mr.. Lyman was chosen member of
the quorum Of twelve apostles of the
Mormon church at the general confer
ence held October 10, 1880. He was or
dained on October 81. His first mission
as an apostle was to the Goose creek
country i'll Cassia county, Idaho, where
he finally organized the Cassia ward.
The opening Of 1882 again found Mr..
Lyman in the legislature as a repre-
sentative from Tooele county and he
was then made speaker of the house.
In the fall of that year he was appoint
ed to work among the Indians and i'm.
mediately set about the founding of an
Indian mission.
In 1884 Mr.. Lyman married Susan
Delilnh Callister in Salt Lake.
Mr.. Lyman was present at the laying
of the capstone of the Salt Lake temple
and offered resolution which brought
forth sufficient money to complete the
construction of the building so it might
be dedicated April 6, 1893.
Mr.. Lyman was engaged in the sheep
business for a time, but sold this out
in 1889. He was director of the Zion 8

Francis Marion Lyman, prsident of
the quorum of twelve apostles of the
Latter-day Saints Church, who has
been prominent and active figure in
the religious, political and industrial
history of Utah since boyhood, died
at l O'Clock Saturday morning in Salt
Lake City.
Death came after an illness of but
two days. He contracted cold which
developed into an aggravated case of
pneumonia at once, and though every
thing possible was done in a medical
way for the patient, even his powerful
and rugged physique was unable to
withstand the ravages of the maladv
and death gave him relief from his suf-
fering this morning.
The death of Apostle Lyman, who
was next in line for succession to the
presidency of the Mormon church,
marks the passing of one of the most
striking and notable characters of the
church and state. Coming to Utah with
an OK team company when boy of six,
he at once became active in church and
state affairs and forged his way to the
front in every line of undertaking.

DEA TIL OF
DAN R. JONES

Last Monday word was received by
Mrs. Ethel Jones to the effect that her
husband, Dan R. Jones, died at an early
hour today, typhoid-pneumonia being
the cause. Accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Peck, Mrs. Jones left i'm.
mediately for Malad, where the funeral
will be held. Dan Jones was we'll
known locally, and at one time was
the head Of the State Bank at Black
foot, and conditions which followed
the fai lure of that institution caused
him more or less grief for several
years. By disposition Dan was con-
genial citizen, and endeavored to get
q foothold in various towns of the
State, when i'll health overlook him,
and during the past two years he spent
much of his time at the home Of his
mother, at Malad. 1t is said pneumo-

many friends by his kindly and accom-
modating disposition. He was the pro.
moter Of the defunct State Bank
which J.. would have been success
had he attended to business. Some
time ago Dan took the Kelley cure and
tried hard but in vain to get another
start. Last winter he was here meeting
his many friends who sincerely congrat.
ulated him on the temperance stand
he had taken, but from here he went
to Mackay where he had strenuous
encounter with John Barley Corn and
from which he fully never recovered.
Dan Jones, though he proved faithless
to many friends who trusted him, will
long be remembered as a man who was
generous to fault, and possessing the
ability and magnetism that would have
made him one Of the most popular and
respected citizens and bankers Of Idaho
had he possessed the ability to follow
the straight and narrow path that
knows neither, wine, women, nor song.
