Bella, together with her brother, was playing steal stick. In attempting to' make a goal Bella and her brother collided with a great deal of force. The little girl was thrown to the ground and in some manner the brother stepped on her abdomen. Symptoms of serious injury at once developed and the little girl was taken to the hospital and Wednesday an operation was performed. Upon examination it was found that the bowel had been perforated. The little soul was called to its reward Sunday night. The brother, grief stricken and heart broken at the tragic ending, cannot be consoled and his sorrow and suffering are pitiful. The little girl was born at Torrey and recently removed to Aurora with her mother. She was a kind hearted little girl and was loved and respected by all who knew her. Impressive funeral services were held at Aurora last Sunday afternoon. Bishop Sorenson had charge of the services and several addresses were made. Beautiful floral offerings from friends and from those most close to the family, were offered in profusion. The remains were interred at the Aurora cemetery. Atteii ConiDn . . Pioneer Day Is ing. DiilyOtar?Bj I firmly believe, notwithstanding the fact that the fair arrangements were late in starting, that the show to be held in September will equal any ever held in the county. The sentiment among those who I have visited is strong for a fair and everybody is buckling in and are lending every aid to make the Sevier county fair a success. Thus spoke George Henderson, who has been elected to Frequent showers and owing to the fact that many citizens of Salina were elsewhere, Pioneer day was quietly observed in Salina last Tuesday. Nothing of an elaborate plan, however, had been made to commemorate the landing of the pioneers in Utah and the day passed off quietly. A lengthy program intended for the entertainment of the old folks of the city, was arranged for the afternoon festivities. This function was largely attended and highly appreciated by the honor guests. The affair was staged and arranged by the Ladies Literary and Civic clubs. The guests were highly appreciative of the exercises and listened intently to the following program : Singing Congregation. Invocation T. G. Humphrey. Singing Literary Club Chorus. Talk Mrs. E. M.

Song the Following program light refreshments were served and then the dance room was cleared for the old folks. This feature was really enjoyed and many of the old one tripped the fantastic and entered into the spirit of the olden time. Social chats and reminiscences of the pioneer life occupied a goodly portion of the time. At three oclock the children were entertained at a dancing party and with a general dance in the evening closed the Pioneer Day celebration in Salina. ' manage the fair arrangements for the association. Mr. Henderson was here the early part of the week drumming up business for the fair program and before he departed he was highly encouraged with the support extended by the Salinamerchants. I am confident the fair will go continued over with grand success, Mr. Henderson. Exhibitors are clamoring for space apd the livestock men, agriculturists, poultry raisers, art exhibitors and many others are clamoring for space in the exhibition departments and it is a foregone conclusion that the exhibits will surpass any yet made. With and conditions the good crops the farming section on throughout the incline we are looking forward to splendid support from the farmers. Livestock men, too, are planning on entering champion stock, so this feature will be one of the big ones. More than the usual interest is being shown in the races that will be staged during the three- - day session. Some of thffie best horses in the state will be on the ground and will be entered in some of the fast races. There will be on the ground and will be entered in some of the fast races.

That city lias a mayoralty term, the next election to be in the coming November.
