Yesterday’s Proceedings of the Stake Conference.

A Horse Thief Caught–Death of Mrs. Barton–Columbian Club Exercises—Notes on the side.

  • The unpropitious weather of yesterday detracted considerably from the attendance at the stake conference. In the morning Joseph H. Grant, Apostle Abram H. Cannon and Arthur Winters were the speakers. The house was crowded in the afternoon and Rosal Hyde of Kaysville and President Joseph F. Smith addressed the congregation upon the general duties of the Saints, both temporal and spiritual.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.

  • On Saturday morning William Wallace rode into town and tied his horse near one of our public buildings while he attended to some business. During his absence an Intoxicated individual took possession of the horse and rode out of town without attracting attention, Wallace discovered his loss about noon and started In pursuit, but the man eluded him and started for Salt Lake by a circuituous route. He was taken in by Chief of Police Gailey before reaching Farmington.
    He spent Sunday in the city bastille and his morning was given a hearing before Justice J. W. Gailey, who held him to await the action of the grand jury.
    The prisoner gave his name as P. J. Ahern. He was taken to the county jail by Sheriff Laycock this afternoon.

MRS. RACHAEL BARTON DEAD.

  • Shortly before 1 o’clock this afternoon the spirit of Mrs. Rachael Barton, wife of Frank Barton, took its flight to the realms or sweet deliverance. Mrs. Barton has been very low for several weeks, and her death has been feared and expected almost momentarily for the last few days. She leaves two children, the youngest but an infant.
    The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mansell, and she has a large circle of friends who sincerely deplore her untimely departure. THE HERALD extends condolence to the bereaved family. She was just past 27 years of age at the time of her death.
