Clark Wounded Accidentally Acci-dentally by a Deputy, j DEATH RESULTS IX FOlH IJAVS. The Pistol Ball Struck Him lu the Abdomen - Clark was Taken to Salt Lake nnd an Operation Opera-tion Performed. One of the most sUrtliDg and deplorable de-plorable occurences In the city's l.lo-1 tory was the accidental shooting of Maishal S. E. Clark -Ian Thursday evening at the City hall. From the! c'ay of the accident to the day of its; fatal termination public interest ana j sympathy were excited to the ut- most, and every move toward preserving preserv-ing Clark's life was clo-cly and hnpe-fu'iy hnpe-fu'iy watched. The news Monday morning that there was no more hope was received with pangs of regret by everyone. Last Thursday evening about 8 o'clock Marshal Clark, Joe Whitehead and James Whitniore met at the Marshal's nflice in the City hall by appointment, Whitmore and Whitehead White-head having been deputized for that night to try to capture the tramps who robbed the car at the P. G. W. depot the night before. Tiny were fixing up their pistols preparatory to going out, whon Wliiemore's gun was discharged in some unknown manner as he was in the act of placing it in his hip pocket. The bullet, a 32 cal. one, struck Clark, who was standing Just in front of WhiUnore, the ball entering the abdomen three or four inches below and an inch aud a half to the right of the navel. Medical assistance was at once obtained, ob-tained, Drs. Dunn and Peterson being brought to the hall, and Clark was then taken to his'home. The wound proving to be of a very serious character, char-acter, Dr. Taylor of Provo was also summoned. When he arrived a consultation con-sultation was held and it was decided that an operation would be necessary to give the wounded man any chance . at all for his life. Preparations were made to perform the operation here, and Dr. Richards of Salt Lake was telegraphed for. Richards came down on the early rmunipg train, and by his advice Clark was taken to the St. Mark's hospital at Salt' Lake on the next train, where the operation was performed, two hours and forty minutes min-utes beiug the time occupied. Seven inches of the small iutcsUne were removed, re-moved, but the bullet vas not located. Clark went through the operation fairly well, and for a day or so it looked as if his gallant right against death would lie successful, but on Sunday niuht at about " o'clock an adverse message was received. At half past three Monday afternoon word was received that he had quietly passed to the great beyond. be-yond. A post mortem examination wa9 made, conducted by Dr. Richards, It was found that t he ball from Whitmore's pistol, which entered below and to the left of the naval, had been deflected downward, piercing the small intestine twice in its course. The operation, which was performed Friday, that of removing a portion of the small intestine, was found to be healed up and in good condition. The ball was found imbedded in the lower part of the baekbor.e. Death is said to have been due to exhaustion, as Clark lost much blood before being brought to Salt Lake and was in no condition to take nourishment. The eor se was prepared for burial by Undertaker Taylor, of Salt Lake, and sent down on the nine o'clock train Monday night. The funeral ervlces were commenced at L. D. S meeting house Tuesday at two o'clock and lasted until four. The funeral was the largest ever witnessed in Spnngville. The meeting house was not large enough to accommodate the large crowd that gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased. de-ceased. Every bit of available space In the building was occupied, and a large number were forced to stand on the outside or retire to their homes All the business- houses closed their doors at noon and draped them until after the funeral services were over. The district schools also closed at noon and the pupils and teachers, some 500 strong, marched down, to t he meeting house in a body to attend the funeral. The members of the Rifle Club, of which organization Marshal Clark was an enthusiastic member, acted as pall bearers.

Silas Edward Clark was born Jan. 20, 18-54, in Appanoose county, Iowa, and came to Utah with his parents in the year 1854, settling in Spring-ville, Spring-ville, where he has ever since resided. He leaves a wife and family of nine children, two of whom are married. He has one child dead. In the death of Marshal Clark Springvilie loses a good and con" scientious o nicer. He met death with the greatest courage, his only regret at dying was that he had to leave his family unprovided for, his children without a father, and his wife with out a bread winner.

It is really remarkable what a part the hog-pen plays in the well-being and prosperity of the country. There are in the United States 30.OU0 or 40.- 000 villages of different sizes, aud the most of them have hog-pens and typhoid ty-phoid fever, says an Eastern ex change. The connection is uniform and direct. The hog-peu supplies the cause, and the fever or some disease dis-ease closely allied to it, is the effect. It has taken a long while to convince con-vince even the most intelligent settlements set-tlements of the value of scientific sanitation, aud in large cities it is a constant fight to abate unisances and compel people to observe ordinary laws of cleanliness. But in the villages vil-lages it is much worse. The popula tions cannot see the necessity of the new fangled notions, as they call them, and any interference of a board of health is an outrage and an Im- pertinance. We know of villages where the doctors have been laboring in vain for years to cliruin itc the hogpen, hog-pen, Their efforts are ridiculed, and the hog-pens aud the fevers, which would never exist but for the un-cleanliness, un-cleanliness, remain. After awhile the people of those small plates will see the importance of a different policy. When they realize that the existence of hog-pens in a community will keep away all settlers whose presence would be desirable, and when they see their property depreciating in value because no one wants to live in villages where no attempt is made to prevent disease, dis-ease, but everything Is done to encourage en-courage it, they may Mud it to their advantage to send the hogs to the country, and then the health aud welfare of the whole nation will be improved.

The first incentive for a child to study is to please his teachers and parents. In order to do this the pupil should tlrst love school and then obey his teacher. This ideal induces him to study aud be prepared in everything the teaeher might ask of him. The road to promotiou and graduation is study; this would probably prob-ably be a higher incentive for studying study-ing and being prepared that they might jearly be promoted until they reach the eight li grade when they graduate, and are fitted for a high school, provided they continue to study. A still higher incentive is the preparation for business lifo which is gained in school. In every day life we gain something toward our business education. In the Kindergarten the tlrst steps are taken by being sys.cmatie and orderly. Tho brightest incentive Is tho love of knowledge. In" the beginning the parents start their children to school and they generally continue in school until they are large enough to think and govern themselves, when, if they dislike school, they discontinue and thus stop their progression, but if they have gained that great aud high incentive love of knowledge for knowledge---! hey will never stop, but continue to progress until their mortal mor-tal career is ended.
