Following the death. Deputy Sheriff Ed Sylvester and Judge B. C. Call held jn inquest at Grouse Creek. They were flown there by John Weir of the Seagull Aviation company of Brig-a m City, accompanied by Walter Mann. They both returned before the inquest was held. The three man jury consisting of David R. Tanner, Ernest and William Thomas, found the deceased died from natural causes, after hearing testimony of six cowboys. According to the testimony of two of Mr. Triggers fellow cowboys, only a short time before he had requested that he be buried with his horse on the top of a mountain west of Montello. The body of Mr. Trigger, who had been working for the Utah construction company in the roundup, was turned over to Roger Kirkman, foreman of the company . No relatives of the deceased could be discovered and his personal belongings, consisting of a saddle and horse, were released to the company for which he had been working. h War-burto- n fire had on it.

Virtually all of the men are working on the construction, and others have found temporary employment while the factory is out of operation.
