Show MORTALITY IN SALT LAKE. The mortality the past week has been fearful. From Sunday morning up to Saturday evening, inclusive, twenty-nine deaths, from various causes, were reported to Sexton Joseph E. Taylor. On Friday, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening, nine hours, eight deaths were reported, or nearly one for each hour. It is not probable that this rate will keep up, but should it, the death rate at the close of August will make a terrible showing.-Herald. |
