As a matter of general interest we publish the present fields of labor of several of our missionaries as furnished by Pres. George Q. Cannon.

John Luther Dalton was a partner in the firm Dalton, Nye and Cannon, a book and music store located at 2376 Washington, Ogden, Utah, that later expanded its inventory to include furniture.

Petition of John L. Dalton, asking the Council to sell him a city lot, situated on the northeast part of the Ogden bench, was referred to the Committee on Public Grounds.

A few days ago an aged man named Charles W. Dalton of Beaver fell into an irrigation canal near his residence being enfeebled at the time of the accident from having been effected with chills, he was unable to get got out of the water. When found, life was so nearly extinct that all efforts at resuscitation failed and he expired shortly afterwards. The particulars are given in the Beaver County record.

H. Geo. Richins, Thos. H. Robinson, J. L. Dalton, and 11 others, owners of property in Block 41, Plat C. of O. C. S., and vicinity, asked the Council to take what steps they might deem expedient to supply them with City water, as they were unable to obtain pure water from any other source. On the motion of Alderman Farr the petition was referred to the Committee on Water Supplies.

An account book containing several receipts and other papers of value only to the owner. Leave with J. L. Dalton, Z C M I.

This forenoon as a gravel train was coming down Second Street hill, the cars became unmanageable and run into the horses. One of them a valuable belonging to J. L. Dalton received a serious cut in the leg. The other horse was thrown down but was not injured.

Messrs. John Dalton and E. H. Nye have purchased the thoroughbred Holstein-Friesian Bull, “Haggie Julietta Prince,” No. 5066 H. F. H. B. He belongs to a family whose record for milk is over 26, 000 lbs. Per year, and will remain in Ogden for service at Sixth and Pearl Streets. The fine bulls Mr. Saxe has had here, have shown their increase, and we are glad to know we are to have better stock.

One of the prettiest, if not the largest, residences in town is that of Mr. John Dalton, which is located on Pearl Street near the corner of Sixth. It is now about completed and reflects great credit on Mr. S. T. Whittaker, who was the architect and builder. The plans were gotten up entirely by Mr. Whittaker who has introduced several new and convenient features. On the ground floor are five rooms with a pantry and a spacious hall. Each room opens into the hall and into the kitchen thus making the labor of the lady of the house as light as such a convenience can render it. By an artistic winding staircase the upper part of the house is reached and here space has been economized and every corner turned to advantage as a closet of for some other purpose. There is a larger room to be used as a sitting room, while there are cozy bedrooms all around it. The plan of the house is really the most compact, and the rooms are the most conveniently arranged of any we have seen. The woodwork is all solid and substantial and of unique design. The windows are of the Queen Anne style and the effect is very pretty. The porches are built in a solid manner, the ornamental work being of such a character that it cannot suffer from the heat of the sun. Above the central porch appears the title "Acorn Cottage" The roof is a little different from and other style previously seen here. It is known as a French roof. and is something like a Mansard only it is curved, making a very pretty effect. The work is highly creditable to Mr. Whittaker and is evidence that in the matter of erecting unique and comfortable residences our home artisans are prepared to attend to every detail. The doors and frames were all made by hand and present many novel features. The painting and paper hanging which add a little to the general appearance and finish of the structure are being done in a thorough manner by Mr. Joseph Hopson.

23,000 shares of the capital stock for sale. Apply to President Joseph Tyrrell, Vice-President John L. Dalton, or Secretary T. Champneys.

Saunders, Dalton & Co. will open in their new store in the bank building in a few days. It will be an elegant establishment, filled with the choicest goods. Among the members of the firm are, Wm. Saunders, formerly manager of Z C M I here, Mr. Dalton, the well known Ogden business man, and Mrs. Carter, a prominent milliner in Salt Lake and Ogden for many years.

On Friday evening, during the performance of Louis XI, the audience was startled by hearing the fire alarm. The department was out in a few seconds, easily locating the blaze on Madison between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh. It was a small barn in the rear of the large one owned by Mr. J. L. Dalton and was stored by Farr, Sears & Company. The fire was soon put out and the building left standing through the seed is probably destroyed. Estimated loss is $800. Mr. and Mrs. Dalton are said to be in Logan. Spontaneous combustion is alleged to be the cause of the fire.

The Dalton, Nye & Cannon company, a corporation heretofore doing business in the book, stationery and musical merchandise line on Twenty-fifth street, in the City of Ogden, Utah, has this day sold its entire stock in trade to A. H. Cannon, who will continue the business, and for whom we bespeak a liberal share of the public patronage.

The said A. H. Cannon is hereby authorized to collect all debts due the firm, and he will settle all bills against the firm.

It was learned yesterday that the Junction City Paint Company is contemplating the establishment of a factory in this city for the purpose of manufacturing putty, mixing colors in oil and preparing mixed-paints. No time has been set for the commencement of work on this factory, but it is understood that it will be done in the near future. In the meantime a change of management has taken place in the company, H.J. Sears having stepped out and I. N. Simpson of Denver having assumed charge of the affairs. It is understood that the establishment of the proposed factory, Mr. Sears will assume its management, conducted by the Paint Company, while Mr. John L. Dalton will continue as traveling salesman for this firm.

Thus the people of Ogden, ever confident in her stability, are branching out and investing their means in building up the City and its commerce.

Burned Barn and Cottage: Fire Department Called Out in the Middle of the Night -

The fire department was called out on Tuesday night by an alarm from one of the bench boxes and the railroad whistles. The blasé was a roarer and located in a barn belonging to J. L. Dalton and near a cottage, the property of J. H. Douglass. The department made a good run and within nine minutes had water on the fire.

The barn was enveloped in flames, while the north side and roof of the Douglass house had caught fire from the burning barn. The department had a hard run to make, as the fire was in the center of the block, between Madison and Barlow avenue, off Twenty-sixth street. It was difficult to run the hose wagon in, but the boys got there in admirable time and order, though none too soon to save Douglass cottage. The damage to which will not exceed $100; fully insured.

Dalton’s barn could not be saved. It was a large two-story frame structure with considerable hay in it. There was a horse and cow in it, but they were liberated. The loss will be nearly $800, partially insured. Mr. Dalton is in California, but the family is at home. Fireworks are supposed to have caused the fire.

The Pocatello Stake of Zion was organized here today. There were President of the Council of the Apostles, Heber J. Grant and M. F. Cowley and President George C. Parkinson of the Oneida Stake of Zion, from which the Pocatello Stake is being taken. This is the fortieth Stake organized in these valleys of the mountains. Much valuable instruction was given and the following were nominated and sustained as officers of the new Stake. President, Bishop William C. Parkinson of Preston; counselors and Stake clerk to be selected. High Council: J. L. Dalton and others.

An answer and cross complaint has been filed in the case of the Citizen’s Bank et al. vs. Newton Farr, Enoch Farr, Ezra Farr, Ray L. Davis, James S.

In the case of J. L. Dalton vs. Junction Paint Company, a motion was argued and granted, requiring the sheriff to pay the judgement according to the order of the court.

Elizabeth Mary Dalton, aged 86, widow of John Luther Dalton, died this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Audrey Newman, 2854 Madison avenue, after a long illness. Mrs. Dalton was born in London, England, on October 7 1844. She came to Utah in 1866, crossing on the ship "Caroline", in company with other L D S converts, who later came to Ogden. Among them were the late Mr. & Mrs. William Driver and Fred Foulger, who is still alive. They went to Columbus, Neb. and the rest of the way was by mule team.

The year of her arrival in Ogden Mrs. Dalton was married and had lived here most of her life. Mr. Dalton died in Pocatello in 1907. Surviving are the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Newman, Lawrence Dalton, Mrs. Austin Johnson, Ogden; Mrs. Rose Rice, Sacramental; Mrs. Mary Ricker, Sovoy, Mont. One sister, Mrs. Alice Redding, Seattle; nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren also survive.

Petition of John L. Dalton, asking the Council to sell him a city lot, situated on the northeast part of the Ogden bench, was referred to the Committee on Public Grounds.

A deplorable accident took place, yesterday evening, about the hour of five o'clock. John Charles Dalton, a sixteen-year-old son of Mr. John L. Dalton, was driving a heavily loaded team into the Z. C. M. I. yard, through the Fourth Street gate, when some sacks of sugar on which he was sitting slipped, throwing the youth to the ground, but without hurting him. Apprehending that the team might run away the boy went to the equines and grabbed a hold of one of the animals. The horse however, threw him down violently and before the unfortunate youth had time together himself up, the two hind wheels of the wagon had passed over him, breaking his dorsal spine in the small of the back.

Employees of Z. C. M I. hurried to his help at once, lifted him up, and conveyed him on a litter to his home, three blocks east of Main Street.

The parents of the lad were at once informed of the sad occurrence and their sorrow and grief evoked deep sympathy in all the bystanders. Surgical attendance was procured in the persons of Drs. J. D. Carnahan and T. E. Mitchell, but it was all in vain, and after a couple of hours or so, of most painful suffering, the boy breathed his last. His dying words were: "I am going, good night, good bye" His death occurred a 8:30 p.m.

The afflicted parents whom but recently lost two children by the measles, have the hearty sympathies of the community in their sorrowful bereavement. The deceased, son of John L. and Elizabeth L. Dalton, was born at Salt Lake City, June 6th 1866.

The funeral services for John Charles Dalton, who on Friday last was crushed beneath the wheels of a wagon, took place shortly after five o'clock on Sunday evening, August 5, at the residence of the parents of the deceased. The services were conducted by Bishop N.C. Flygare and his counsel. A large number of people were present on the occasion.

Elder Joseph Hall then delivered an address appropriate to the solemn occasion, which had brought the people together. Bishop Flygare followed with a few seasonable remarks. The speakers expressed their deep sympathy for the affiliated parents in their bereavement, this being the fourth child they have lost by the hand of death - three within a few months past.

The leave-taking by the parents at the close of the services, was deeply affecting, and the audience were profoundly moved by witnessing the grief-stricken mother as she gazed upon the face of her beloved boy, for the last time in this life.

Mr. and Mrs. Dalton have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sad affliction.

Dalton - In this city of measles, on Wednesday, April 26, 1882, Clara Estella, daughter of J. L. Dalton.

The deceased was born March 26th, 1869, and was 13 years and one month old. The funeral services were held at the family residence, on Thursday, April 27th, when addresses appropriate to the occassion were delivered by Elder E Tilloison and Bishop N. C. Flygare.

This is the second daughter of whom Mr. and Mrs. Dalton have been bereaved within a few days past, by the same disease. We tender the afflicted parents our sincere condolence. We sympathize with them in the loss they have sustained in the death of their children.

Dalton - In this city, on Tuesday morning, at 3:40 a.m. April 18, 1882, of Measles, after a illness of ten days, Orson Luther, a son of John L. and Elizabeth M. Dalton, aged 2 years nine months and twenty days. Funeral from the residence on Fourth Street, Fourth Ward, tomorrow, Wednesday at 2 p.m. Friends are invited.

Judgment in favor of Newton Farr et al. was rendered against H. J. Sears, Lillian Rose, I. N. Simpson and J. L. Dalton for the amount of their unpaid subscriptions to the stock of the Ogden Paint company, in the case of the Citizen’s Bank et al. vs. Newton Farr et al.

On Saturday, Dell Dalton, a brakeman on the Utah & Northern, fell off the cars at a point between Battle Creek and Franklin and was seriously injured. We have been unable to obtain the extent of his wounds so far.

People, etc; vs. Simon Dalton, grand larceny; on plea of guilty sentenced to one year in the Utah Penitentiary. (Son of Charles Dalton & Eunice Daniels)

On Saturday morning, D. Dalton, a conductor on the Utah & Northern, met with an accident that necessitates his relinquishing his duties for a short time. He was on the northbound train, No. 611, and at Collinston a stop was made to couple on two cars. Mr. Dalton stepped in to couple them, but unfortunately was caught and crushed between them. He was unable to call for assistance, and as soon as he could do so extricated himself and walked to the engine. Mr. Dalton, however, did not feel very much of the injury at that time, but a short time afterwards the pain became intense and he found it necessary to return to Ogden which he did on the next train. He was placed under the care of Dr. A. J. Aherne of the U. P. Hospital and we learn that so far as can be ascertained no bones were broken and the patient will probably recover from the effects of his severe squeezing in a few days.

Ogden is to lose one of its old and tried business houses in the retiring from business of the well- known firm of Dalton, Nye & Cannon. The business has been carried on of late years under a corporation title of The Dalton, Nye & Cannon company, the stockholders of witch are J. L. Dalton, E. H. Nye and A. H. Cannon. When the buildings on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Washington avenue were torn away to make room for the new Utah Loan & Trust Co.’s magnificent building the Dalton, Nye & Cannon company removed their stock to the first store north of the First National Bank, on the east side of Washington avenue, where for more than a year they have conducted a very successful business. The reasons for the dissolution of the company are entirely personal among the members of the firm. Mr. A. H. Cannon has been engaged in outside affairs for some time; Mr. Dalton the chief member of the seed and paint firm of H. J. Sears & Co., which takes a considerable amount of his attention, and Mr. Nye has other interests which need his attention. The firm has a large fresh stock of goods on hand consisting of books, commercial and society stationery, musical instruments, toys, dolls, pocket-books, albums, fancy articles, etc; in all amounting to something considerably over $15,000. As their sole desire is to wind up the affairs of the house as soon as practicable, they have decided to throw the entire stock on the market at prices, which will give the people of the City the benefit of wholesale markets. Their entire line of schoolbooks, such as are used in our public schools is cut in half on prices. Such books as sell in New York City, or in any city in the East at $1.50 are marked down to 75 cents. Fine Oxford Bibles, the S. S. teachers edition, printed on the finest of India paper, silk sewed, bound in flexible morocco, with full concordance, subject index, commentary, dictionary, maps, etc; the very pink of perfection in the publisher’s art, worth $7.00 in New York, are selling a $4.10. Other qualities at less prices. Full lines of all church and S. S. Union publications at less than cost. Musical instruments including pianos, organs, violins, banjos, guitars, etc; are offered at cost and under. Find pocket books, ladies shopping bags, toys, dolls and everything in commercial stationary and blank books go at the same price. However much the people of Ogden will miss these old friends in business they cannot but congratulate themselves upon such an opportunity to obtain this line of goods at such low figures. This sale will continue until the entire stock is disposed of.

By referring to a notice in another column of this issue the public will see that A. H. Cannon has sold out his book store to J. L. Dalton and E. H. Nye, retaining an interest in the business, however. The name of the new firm will be the Dalton, Nye & Cannon Company.

The home missionaries of the Weber Stake will please fill the following appointments on Sunday, Aug. 9 1891.

John L. Dalton sued R. T. Pettingill for a sum of money alleged to be held illegally by the latter, but the jury rendered the verdict, no cause for action.

The Farmer's Union Roller Mills Co. has filed suit against H. J. Sears and John L. Dalton, doing business under the firm name of H. J. Sears and company, for the sum of $360.85 and interest alleged to be due on a promissory note.

There was an extremely exciting runaway on Washington avenue this morning at 11 o’clock. D. C. Dalton was loading refuse lumber from the premises at 2414 Washington avenue into his two-horse wagon when one of the boards pushed a shovel which was in the wagon and caused it to fall over on one of the horses whereupon they both run away.

They headed diagonally across the street and struck Rev. Mr. Richardson’s buggy, smashing both hind wheels into kindling wood and knocking the horse down and doing slight damage to the harness. Fortunately there was no one in the buggy. The horse did not seem to be injured.

After smashing the buggy the runaway’s made a beeline for the big steel railway post on Twenty-fourth and Washington near Z. C. M. I. Corner. The wagon struck the post and broke it in two. The force of the collision separated the horses from the wagon and they run on without it. One of them was stopped in front of Geo. A. Lowes’s hardware store and the other turned down Twenty-third street and returned on Grant to near Twenty-fourth street where it was also captured. The damage to the runaway outfit will probably not exceed $10. The smashing of the street railway post caused no interruption to the car service. The repair car was immediately sent for and a new post erected. Fortunately there was no person injured.

Guy A. Dalton, who was arrested Monday morning for indecent exposure at the Utah Hot Springs, last Sunday, has put up $35 cash bond for his appearance at the trial at Brigham City.

Hack man D. C. Dalton, who was slugged by would-be robbers yesterday morning on Twenty-fifth street, was attending to his regular duties last night, but his hat did not fit him very well, due to a good-sized lump on his head., caused by a blow that was meted out to him by one of the robbers. The fellows who attempted the hold-up were out after Mr. Hamer, as is evidenced by the fact that when Dalton was down and out on the pavement, the thugs could have easily picked a few dollars from his pocket, but they did not; they were out after Mr. Hamer, who they thought had a few bags of money with him.

The officers of the city have a clue to the hold-ups, and while there is not, at the present time, sufficient evidence at hand to warrant an arrest, it is very likely that within the next twelve hours somebody will be behind the bars charged with attempted robbery. The parties are under surveillance of the officers, and they have been watched for a number of weeks as a set of bad men. There are three or four in the gang, and they are very familiar with Mr. Hamer’s place of business. The officers of the city are on the alert for the fellows, who undoubtedly will not escape. Chief Browning rather expected to be able to make arrests last night, but all of the links connecting the story of the crime could hardly be brought together, hence arrests were deferred to the near future.

This morning at about 10:30 o'clock while driving his express wagon along Washington avenue near Twenty-eighth street, Don Carlos Dalton was seen to fall backwards on the seat of his wagon. Nearby workmen rushed to the assistance of Mr. Dalton, whom they found lying in the bottom of the wagon in the throes of death. They started hurriedly for home with Mr. Dalton, but the afflicted man expired before the home was reached.

Dr. Edward Rich was called. When he arrived he pronounced Mr. Dalton dead, the cause being heart failure.

Mr. Dalton was born in Salt Lake City, February 7, 1861, but lived in Ogden a long period of time. He was employed by the Allen Transfer company of this city for 14 years and was under their employ when he died. He is survived by a wife, four daughters, Mrs. Peter Ingerbrtsen, Mrs. John Davis, Mrs. Stephen Blair, and Miss Nora Dalton, and two sons, Walter and Don Dalton, all of whom reside in Ogden.

Mr. Dalton went to his work this morning in apparently good health. The men at the office state, however, that of late Mr. Dalton has complained of a distressed stomach and a choking sensation. a choking sensation.

J. L. Dalton, a former resident of Ogden, died in Pocatello, Wednesday afternoon. He had been an invalid for two years, following an operation. He leaves a wife, three sons and three daughters in Ogden and a daughter in Montana. He was born in Nauvoo in 1842, immigrated to Salt Lake in 1849, resided later in Centerville and Hooper, and finally located in Ogden 28 years ago. He was at one time a freighter and contractor for the Z. C. M. I. And took and active part in the pioneer work of up-building Utah. The date or place of funeral has not been fixed.

Lawrence Dalton waived preliminary hearing in police court this morning and was bound over to the district court under bonds of $1000. Young Dalton is impressed with the gravity of his position and wishes to dispense with an exhaustive trial and plead guilty to the charge of assault. He was taken to the county jail this morning.

Dalton is not able to ascribe a motive for his attach upon Gladys Richardson, other than that he was mastered by a passionate desire.

Little Gladys Richardson has fairly recovered from her harrowing experience, but she has suffered considerably from nervous shock.

In District Court this morning before Judge Howell, the following civil and criminal matters were heard -

State of Utah vs. Lawrence Dalton, charged with assault with intent to commit rape, the District Attorney filed the information against the defendant who was arraigned and will plead on October 20.

The case of Lawrence Dalton, an overgrown boy, accused of assault with intent to commit rape, was continued by Judge Howell, until Monday, October 22nd.

In the case of the State vs. Lawrence Dalton, the defendant appeared this morning and changed his plea of not guilty. Judge Howell postponed the time for sentence until Jan. 16th, in order to permit time for a longer deliberation of the case. It is the desire of the court that the prisoner, who is hardly eighteen, be committed to the Industrial School, rather than the penitentiary, and if possible, arrangements toward this end will be made.

Lawrence Dalton, an inmate of the State Industrial School, escaped from that institution at about 2 o’clock this morning. He is 17 years of age, weight about 145 pounds, height 5 feet 9 inches, dark hair, brown eyes.

As the result of a still hunt covering a period of several weeks, a chase of three blocks through the business section of Pocatello, and a struggle at the end of the race, Lawrence Dalton, a young boy, committed to the Industrial School by Judge Howell, was taken by Officer Griffin, of the institution, Saturday night.

On a charge of attempted rape, Dalton was sent to the reformatory, because his age prevented the county officials from sending him to the penitentiary. Judge Howell, in passing sentence, stated that he was not to be given the benefit of the credit system in vogue at the school, but was to be kept at labor until 21 years of age. The school officials were reluctant to receive the boy but there was no other place for him.

A year ago, on the night of April 19, Dalton managed to escape. On account of the seriousness of the charge against him, his arrest was greatly desired and considerable time and expense were devoted to his apprehension. It was only by the merest rumor that the whereabouts of the fugitive was discovered, but when, during April last, it was learned that he was on a farm near Pocatello and that he visited the city regularly, every Sunday Officer Griffin was dispatched to bring him back to Ogden.

Griffin searched through Pocatello several hours before he found Dalton’s trail. While rapidly going up one of the main thoroughfares, he came face to face with Dalton and another boy. Recognizing the officer, Dalton darted into the block and commenced a wild run in the direction of the depot. Aided by his companion, he managed to elude Griffin and hide but before he could effect an escape he was again overtaken and caught. He fought hard against Griffin but was subdued.

With his prisoner, Griffin arrived last night. From the depot Dalton was taken to the school handcuffed. Special watch will be maintained to prevent a second escape until it has been finally decided as the best disposal of the boy.

The funeral services of Dell Thatcher Dalton will be held Monday a 2 o'clock, instead of Sunday as has been announced. Services will be held from the residence, 2630 Adams Ave.

The funeral services were held in the Hooper meeting house where the two wards met together; both choirs singing together. She was born in England and reached the good old age of seventy years; She lost he husband some two years ago. She leaves a son and daughter and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss.

The Diphtheria case in the family of Dell Dalton, Adams Ave., near Twenty-third, where a card was put up on Saturday last, terminated fatally on Monday morning.

The little girl, nearly four years of age, died a 9:50 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Dalton have been seriously afflicted and have the sympathy of their friends, who however, are not permitted to attend them in their bereavement because of the unfortunate circumstance which always attend the disease of Diphtheria.

On Wednesday morning a couple of convicts escaped from the penitentiary at Salt Lake City. One was the well known Jared Dalton

Governor Murray, yesterday, pardoned from the penitentiary a number of inmates who had been sentenced to imprisonment from a number of years up to life terms. The matter has been under consideration for some time, and yesterday was brought to a focus, and the following persons received executive clemency:

Dalton improving - Ambrose Dalton, who was so severely injured by a shotgun last Monday, is in a fair way to recover from the wound.

She lives for over five hours and then succumbs to the deadly effect of the fearful drug.

Eunice Dalton, aged fifteen, daughter to Dell Dalton, took laudanum with suicidal intent last evening and died this morning at about 3 o’clock.

At 9:30 p.m. she had been downtown and had bought a vial of laudanum, which she took home with her. On reaching the residence on Adams between Twenty-second and Twenty-third, she swallowed the contents as she entered the house and threw the bottle by the hydrant near the corner of the house.

She immediately told her mother of what she had done but assigned no reason for the deed. In fact she declared she could not tell and did not know why she had done so. Her mother and another lady walked her around as long as possible while physicians were sent for. Dr. Jones and Dr. Armstrong responded within fifteen minutes of the occurrence

And did all in their power to save her. A poison of the poison was throw up, but it had taken too much effect in her blood, and about 3 a.m. she died. The coroner was sent for to prepare the body for burial, as it was not through necessary to hold an inquest owing to her own admission as to taking the poison. It was not learned this morning when she will be buried. The family is thrown into the greatest of grief and sorrow, as the deed is wholly unexpected and unexplainable to them.

The funeral services over the remains of Eunice Dalton, the young girl who took laudanum on Monday and killed herself, will take place to day at 2 p.m., at the residence, 2200 Monroe Avenue.

The family is grief-stricken. The only reason they can assign for the deed is this: She wanted to go downtown and her mother insisted on her getting through with a certain amount of work at the house before she left. This made her angry and she went away in that mood. They think that when she got the poison, having obtained it by saying that her mother wanted it for a sick baby, she took it for the purpose of making herself sick and scaring her folks, thereby insuring what she considered would be a little more of her own way. She took too much and was unable to give her reason before dying. This seems plausible, as she told the folks what she had done the moment she entered the house.

It is a case extremely sad. The mania for suicide seems to have fearfully developed both among young and old.

A coroner's inquiry was held at the city hall yesterday, the body having perilously been examined at the residence of his Son-in-law, John Brimley in the fifth Ward.

Immediately upon hearing of the death of Dalton, Evans went to Marshall Dray and gave himself up.

Six witness's were summoned before the jury, whose testimony proved that all the parties were fairly drunk and got into a quarrel while at a game of pool. Dalton made some insulting remarks to Evans while getting into his buggy to return home, to which Evans reported to reply, which infuriated Dalton, who started to climb out of the buggy when he was caught by the collar and pulled to the ground. A little scuffling endured between the

two, when it was found that Dalton's arm was broken. He was taken to the Desert Hospital and therefore died according to the testimony of Dr. Richards, from a concussion of the brain caused by the fall. The resolve of the jury was as followed:

An investigation held at the City Hall in the Fifth Precinct of Salt Lake City on the 11th day of October 1886 before George D. Peter, Justice of the peace for said precinct, and acting Coroner of said County upon the body of H. S. Dalton, by jurors whose duties are Hereunto subscripted. The said jury on their oaths do say and from the evidence presented, that the said H. S. Dalton died on the 8th day of October 1886 of a concussion of the brain brought on by injury endured by him at Rock's Hot Springs on the 8th day of October 1886 by falling out of his wagon while engaging in a drunken fight with Parley Evans.

Ambrose A. Dalton, 19 years old, was brought to Ogden from Tacoma, Nevada, this morning, in serious condition. On Monday, while out hunting rabbits with Everett and Fred Whipple, he had a terrible hole torn in his left side by discharge of his own shotgun. He was riding in a wagon, with the butt of the gun on the wagon floor and the muzzle against his chest. He placed the gun in that position in order to free his hands while he rolled a cigarette. The jar of the moving wagon discharged the gun and the full contents of the load tore through his coat, vest and pocketbook, carrying cloth and paper into his lungs. The young man was thought to be fatally injured, but he was hurried to Ogden, and at the hospital this morning, Dr. Joyce performed an operation, extracting the lead and other foreign substances. The doctor was surprised at the remarkable vitality of his patient and says the young man has a fighting chance for his life. Ambrose Dalton is a brother-in-law of W.W.

The financial panic of 1893 had deepened into the most severe depression of the 19th Century by the spring of 1894. Banks and business firms across the nation had toppled and millions of people were unemployed. Local and private charitable agencies were hard pressed by the demands upon their resources.

Unemployed workmen in San Francisco and the bay area, seeking to return to the East and Midwest, were caught up in a nationwide movement known as Coxeyism. Jacob Coxey proposed to lead a march to Washington from Massillon, Ohio to persuade Congress to support a program of public works financed by legal tender money. The San Francisco workmen adopted this goal and, led by Charles Kelly, boarded a train of box cars after causing much excitement among the public and concern to authorities. These men, and their fellows across the country, were the frequent targets of insult, ridicule and vilification. They were described as shiftless tramps, disease carriers, radical visionaries and threats to public order. Wherever they went the authorities gathered and townspeople waited in trepidation, resentful at having to provide the men supplies from their own meager larders. There were sympathizers, too. The good of heart recognizing need, and especially, the Populists, who saw in the movement a fraternal cause. The armies were also to become a spectacle. To the people of the small towns and cities beside the tracks, the passage of the army was as if a carnival had come to town. Country dwellers and towns people alike flocked to see the show, even if it was only passing through.

When Kelly's army, riding the Southern Pacific train from California, was unceremoniously dumped at Ogden, Utah Territory, they put together any boxcars they could find and hooked up to a Union Pacific train that was going eastward. There were twenty-seven boxcars, teeming with an estimated 1,200 men,

A. A. Dalton and Nelse Carter, two miners, who are working the Snowslide group of claims belonging to W. W. Ruby in Coldwater canyon, had their cabin plundered by a bear Friday afternoon which forced the door open and ate and destroyed all provisions, except the canned goods.

When the owners of the cabin returned from work in the evening and were confronted by the unmistakable evidence of Bruin’s visit, they struck the tracks and followed them to the creek a short distance away. Here they discovered a black bear feasting on a loaf of bread that he held in his paws. When the beast saw them it took the bread in its mouth and walked leisurely up the hill a distance of fifty yards and finished its meal. Finding the bear evidently did not intend to move and having no guns, Messers. Dalton and Carter decided to come to town. Mr. Carter returned to the cabin and succeeded in getting a shot at the animal, which left traces of blood where it entered the timber.

Yesterday morning at the Union Depot, Edward Cooke and Fred Dalton had a lively scrap and were run in by Officer Sullivan, the result being that Mr. Cooke was fined $5 and Mr. Dalton discharged. Cooke claimed a bill of $28 was due for Tribunes sold to Mr. Dalton, which the latter denied, and said he would not pay. The only course under the circumstances to get satisfaction was to punch him, hence the scrap. Cooke also felt a sore spot because he alleges Dalton had withheld $11 of the newsboys’ excursion money and which he refused to refund to the boys.

Jaren Tolman had a little experience this week with two horse traders, Simon Dalton and William C. Holbok, which remained him of the dealings of the "South African Salesman" who gave the people "something for nothing" two or three years ago. Not since the days of Gonzales, the Spanish Linguist, did Mr. Tolman make such a fruitless investment. The traders referred to had a fine looking horse, which appeared to be worth $75 to $100. While passing the hotel where they were stopping. Mr. Tolman noticed the animal and offered them a trade. A "swap" was finally agreed upon in which Tolman gave another animal and $25 in cash. The traders represented their animal to "sound" so Tolman took it home and hitched it up and found it so "broken winded" that it would fall on its knees when trying to pull a load.

He returned it to the traders with it, who still maintained that the horse was sound, merely admitting that his wind was a little affected. They finally took the animal back giving him another horse in return for it, but he feels that he lost nearly all of his twenty-five dollars "boot" money. On relating his experience to others, Mr. Tolman found that these same men visited the town with the same horse last year and traded it off and took it back again mostly without the "boot" money given to strangers. Tolman came to the conclusion that the "nag" being a fine looking animal they used it for a bait to get "boot" money.

Although everything possible was done for him, the best medical attention and nursing could not check the ravages of the fever. He had been suffering from the disease for three weeks while on the desert looking after his cattle, and when he entered the hospital the fever was so far advanced that the case was practically hopeless. His condition was known to be serious, but strong hopes that he would soon commence to improve, and the news of his death received Sunday evening came as a great shock.

Elmer Dalton was born January 30, 1882, in Canesville, Utah, now known as Bicknell. His parents were Orson Nephi Dalton and Clarissa Huntsman. His education was only such as was usually obtainable in the rural Utah communities of that time.

While the deceased was never especially active in church or civic life, he was deputy county sheriff for two terms, and was always found on the side of law and order.

His energies were largely devoted to farming and stock raising, but for the past few years

He has given considerable time to trucking. With his son Marvin, he took the contract for all delivery of all the materials for the San Juan High School from Salt lake City and Thompson to Blanding. His bid being low, they were obliged to carry a heavy load of worry, and put in a great deal of night service in order to make good on the contract, which doubtless did not add any days to his sojourn on earth.

A shock that he sustained Saturday afternoon when his son Marvin became involved in a race accident on the track also placed a strain on his vitality.

The deceased is survived by his widow, Bessie Prewer Dalton, his son Marvin, his daughter Myrtle Elizabeth, of Monticello.

It has been too wet in Emery county for a few weeks and after County Attorney B. W. Dalton got the goods on a bunch, he began to issue complaints, with the result that nearly a score of peddlers of contraband in that highly moral bailiwick have felt the weight of the hand of the law. The offenders were scattered among several towns and it was the first arrest for most of them. For that reason none of the names were made public although many people have found out who “got it”.

Funeral services were held in the Circleville L. D .S. church Thursday afternoon for Simon Howd Veater, 60, prominent rancher, cattleman, and former chief of police of El Paso, Texas, who died January 6, in a Hot Springs, Mexico hospital of a heart attack, after a long illness.

After funeral services at El Paso Monday, the widow, accompanied by her son Carl, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Glen Veater, and a niece, Mrs. Cynthia Judd, brought the body to Circleville, to the home of Mrs. Carroll Dalton.

Mr. Veater was born January 5, 1879, a son of James and Sarah Howd Veater, on the Veater ranch in Circleville Canyon. He went to Mexico when he was 19 years old, taking a carload of horses, and remained in the little Mormon colony at Chuichah to ranch and raise cattle.

When the revolution of 1912 came, he and his family went to El Paso. Mr. Veater had married Miss Almeada Brown of Koosharem, who was teaching school in Mexico. He become a mounted policeman in El Paso, September 9, 1913 and acquired a reputation for daring and fearlessness in his methods of subduing the gangs that terrorized the distract known as "little Chichahua"

The El Paso herald of January 7, writes, "A big quite man, Veater was physically capable of taking on anyone who challenged him. His size alone was enough to inspire respect among the rank and file of citizenry. He looked like a harmless cattleman just in from the range, but South El Paso soon learned that he could be just as tough as was necessary. His equipment was the subject of good-natured joking at headquarters. He, too, grinned, but he explained that he had to have a big horse, because he was a big man, and a small arsenal he had to pack around was necessary in subduing loco hombres when they run wild. A cartridge belt hung from his hips. He carried two six-shooters. From his saddle hung a rifle, two sets of handcuffs, and a long loop chain to which leg-irons were attached. He was forced to kill several men to protect his life while patrolling the tough district"

The Herald goes on to tell the story of a New Year's Eve raid on the little sub-station in which he had his headquarters. Attacked by the gangs in the hope of killing him, over 50 shots from a rifle and pistol were fired into the building. Hiding outside, Veater fired into the attackers and killed several. He was modest to the point of exasperation to newspaper reporters who were after a story, and attempting to make him a hero in their accounts. "There nothing exciting about my job," he insisted, "just another way to make a living" A big watch chain which he wore up until the time of his death saved his life on one occasion when he was ambushed, and the bullet lodged firmly between the links of the chain. "Just picked up a couple of fellows who were in a scrap" was his way of describing the encounter - to quote the Herald.

Recognized for the excellence of his work, Mr. Veater was promoted to a captaincy, and later was made chief of police. On May 20, 1919, he resigned from the force and went into the contracting business. He became the owner of large properties in Mexico, Texas and New Mexico. The Herald says, "He built the town of Arrey, New Mexico, where he had a store and a farm. He maintained a home at 2616 San Diego Street, El Paso, where Mrs. Veater now lives"

Speakers at the Circleville services were Leonard Sargent of Panguitch and Joseph Bettenson of Circleville. Musical numbers were given by Mrs Earl Whittaker, Judd Haycock, Mrs. Ina Chamberlain and William Horton, all of Circleville. The opening prayer was by Henry Sudweeks; the benediction by Thomas Smith; and the grave dedicated by M.D. Hatch of Panguitch.

Survivors are his widow; three sons, Carl, Verl and Glen; and five grandchildren, all of New Mexico; Two sisters, Mrs. Ivy Dalton of Circleville and Mrs. Susie Goff of Panguitch; and one brother, Bish Veater of Vernal.

While Mr. Veater was visiting last summer in southern Utah, where he has a host of friends, he expressed the wish to be buried in Circleville. Mrs. Veater, her son, daughter-in-law, and niece went to Panguitch after the burial to the home of Mrs. Goff, where they remained until Tuesday. They returned to their home this week.
