DATE OF THE FUNERAL I NOT YET DECIDED UPON Interesting Sidelights Upon the Life of Much-Beloved Citizen. D. Wood, t.lie inillfonairo livcslock and mining man who was killed by a passenger engine in the yards of the Ji Oregon Short Lino shortly before 0.30 "clock Sunday night, came to his death purely by accident, and through no other means.

The murder ihcory 'i which was advanced immediately after the discovery of tho body was fully and thoroughly investigated, and has been exploded. There was absolutely nothing to indicate murder, so far as 1 Coroner Mnnks can ascertain, all marks upon the. body having been inilictcd by ihc heavy engine. i Arrangements for tho funeral have not yot been made, but it is not ex- pcetod that it will bo held before Saturday. With the arrival of tho a iirst train from Ogdcn Monday morn- ing Hugh Wood, a stepson of the It lean man, came Homo in response to the summons received' by him late Sun- day evening, and word was received 'Monday afternoon that Frank J.

another stepson, had left 1 3j St. Louis, and would arrive here AVcdnesdny evening. The daughter, ('nssandrn, who is attending school at "Mcnlo Park. where she is a slu- 6 dent, at the Sacred Heart academy, has been notified that her father met with an accident, but she has not been made acquainted with the news of his awful -j death. She also will arrive Wednesday.

Expressions of Regret. "From every quarter of the city ex- 1 3 pressions of keenest, regret and syn- pathy have been heard since the an- 41 Jiounccmccnt of the tragic death. Mr. jj "Wood was popular, not only among his business assoicatcs. but nmong all those whose good fortune it was to know Jiim intimately.

He was a leader among men and a power in tho financial world. Mr Wood whs quiet and un assuming, but he made himself felt in every walk of life. lie was a familiar figure about the streets of this City, and his friends were legion. All of them were inexpressibly shocked upon i of the news of his untimely end, and all through Monday letters, telegrams and telephone messages were I icceivcd at the. handsome residence of i Mr.

Wood, on Bngham street, from Utah and adjoining stales, containing i expressions of heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow. Mrs. Wood stood the. shock heroically. For thirty years she has been the fajth- Jul helpmate of tho man who.

through his tremendous holdings in livestock, j' boonmc known as (lie "cattle king." Monday she was able to see and talk with her friends, and to them alone 1 were her sufferings apparent, i Leaves Vast Estate. Mr. Wood left a vast estate, valued at between $1.00,000 and Mexico and Iflnho he had the bulk of his while in Nevada he also had extensive mining interests. Jlis great cattle and sheep ranches in i ami luano are Known as me largest in the world, and he was the Hl owner of scores of thousands of calttlc and sheep. rr.

Wood made his will last October, Hj and since that lime it has been locked in the safe in li is nflicc. in the care of Meh'in Ii. Johnson, his bookkeeper. Hj Jj.ts! Friday Mr. Wood look the will from the safe and had three copies of it made, but what, became of the copies Mr.

Johnson, is unable to state. The will leaves the entire property of "Mr. 1 Wood to his widow, and provides that upon her death it shall be equally di- a i rlcd among the surviving children. The two sons, Frank J. Tfagcnbnrth and Hugh Wood, arc named by Mr.

Wood i in his will as his executors. May Hold Inquest. County Attorney Job P. Lyon stated Monday evening that Coroner Hanks had no't conferred with him, but that lie was heartily in favor of having a coroner's jury investigate the death of Mr. Wood, fn an effort to place the blame.

It is stated that the big en- gines on the Union Pacific railroad, which drnw the Los Angeles Limited, are equipped with a steam arrange- 1 ment which causes the bell on Hie engine to ring constantly when the is backing in the yard. Tn view of this statement, it is regarded as strange that Mr. Wood did not hear the approach of the engine in time to get out of harm's way, and the coro- ju' ucr will ascertain whether or not the bell was being rung as reported. 'ty About live years ago M.r. and Mrs.

Wood had one of the most delightful experiences of their lives. It. was 'x' when they determined to visit the old home of Mrs. Wood and her people in Ticnua. They first visited in the Brit 'I'.

isli Tsles and then went through the heart of 'Kurope, visiting Carlsbad and Hl then on to Vienna Makes Many Gifts. It was hero that Mr. Wood indulged himself in his favorite pastime of do- ing subBtantiiil good. lie visited each 1 Ji of Mr. Wood's relatives personally, Hl i ''i saw their environments and condition in life, their needs of education, and when he found them all.

and as he Hl i i found them, ho provided for their needs in a substantial manner. Some jj of his gifts were what were considered i fortunes in tlu'it country. The varying Hj i conditions of each offered, various methods for doing each the most good, and it was related afterward bv him that the (lends of kindness he did gavo Jul him more keen delight thnn auv other It period of his life hnd up to then -nf- If! Upon leuving Kurone, Mir. and Mrs. 1 IjS Wood sailed up the Nile, visited Cairo i) nnd Alexandria, and, returning via 9 Asia Minor, visited Palestine and the i II also Naples, Vesuvius and 1 i Jteturning to America, Mr.

Wood -i wcut to Missouri and looked up all his I 1JD relatives, scattered throughout that 1 III tate, Oklahoma and Tennessee. His II istor, Mrs. Meniza Elis, he found at Tarns. when; he was born, ami his gift to her was sntlicieiit. for the I remainder of her years and for her do- I pendents.

The aume joyous time was WILL GROUND FOfl JSHIF CHI Proposition Is to Merge Stables and Supply Store at Central Point. HIGHLY1 DESIRABLE SITE IS IN VIEW i Recommendation for Purchase Is Made in Message of Mayor. The city council took quick action upon the mayor's rccommondation in his annual message, submitted Monday evening, to the effect that tho city's stables and supply stores bo merged upon ground centrally Jocutcd. Fifteen or twenty minutes aflcr hearing tho message read, ilia councilmen appropriated tho monc3T to purchaso tho ground. The proposed site for the joint stables and supply stores is situated upon tho north sido of Fourth South street, between State and Second East streets, highly desirable location, cost The piece of ground is feet in dimensions, has an outlet both onto Fourth South and Third South strocts, and adjoins another piece of city property.

The mavor learned of tho picco of property Two or three days ago, and, with the proposition of merging the stables and store in miiid, opened negotiations, but was unable to secure an option from the owner, John Donncl-lan, until Into Monday afternoon, after his message was on tho way to tho council. Ho immediately prepared tho second communication, setting out tho location, price and desirability, and recommended an immediate appropriation to hold the option, which was unanimously passed. "Will Bo Purchased. The option, doubtlessly, will be followed up with a purchase of the ground in a fow days. Tho merging of the city 's' stables and supply store will have to be proceeded with more leisurely, for the reason that tho amount, of space needed will have to be taken into consideration and the buildings erected accordingly.

The city's stables arc now located on Sixth "South street, between Stato and Second East strocts, and the waterworks slable, -with part of its supplies, in City Creek canyon, to the northeast. The former is two or three blocks from the joint buildintr in which practically all the city offices arc located, and the latter two or three miles off. With the two departments merged and located upon the proposed site, they will bo within a half-block of the city offices. The next step in the merging of tho city stables and supply sloro will bo the preparation of plans and specifications of tho building. Tho option ae-curod, this can be taken up moro leisurely, but no limo will no lost in carrying out the niaj'or's recommendation, as the merging of tho two and bringing them so eloso to the city offices will not only bo a matter of convenience, but will save considerable 11101103 to the city, it is believed.

Brother Eemcmbcrcd, A year after his return to this country lie discovered his only brother, Jcriah Wood, whom ho had not seen or hena'd from since J. D. Wood had left his home to como west in the early '60s. The brother was living in Skull Yal-103 and Mr. and Mrs.

Wood immediately started on a visit to him. The brothers hail a jo3'ful reunion, and Mr, and Mrs. Wood remained there a long time. Jcriah Wood had a ranch and a family, and a result of the visit was that the younger brother was firm-lj' established, his ranges stocked, capital furnished liim, and the thorough education of his children provided for. One of the instances of Mr.

Wood's active charitj' was at tho tinio of the great explosion in the Daly West mine in Park City, in Jnlj-, 1902.. -when tho lives of fort3" men snuffed out. M. Wood was heavily interested financially in the Daly- West, tho Ontario and other Park City properties, and ho was one of tho first to reach tho sccno I of the disaster and inaugurate relief in the hope of finding some of tho men still alive- lie pcrsonalh' risked his lifo upon that occasion, and after tho funeral of the victims he sought out every dependent family of tho nion and out. of his own funds relieved them all, and, in addition, left, them plenty for tho future.

Great Giver to Charity, Without question, ho was 0110 of the greatest givers to practical charity that ever came to the west. He would givo both attention and money to cver3' ono whom he thought was worthy. He has been heard to say: "Perhaps 1 have given to a few who wero unworthy, but it is better so, for if had drawn a closer line 7 might havo doubly injured sonic one that was worthy of attention and aid." That was' I he character of the man, and in his munificence he embraced all classca of men and women. Molvin B. Johnson, who hns been confidential man to Mr.

Wood for nearly seven years, deeply affected over the tragic death and tho loss of a noble friend. Speaking of his former employer, Mr. Johnson said: "His charity was always done on the quiet, and never did any one but himself ami tho beneficiary have knowledge of it. He could never afford, in his code of ethics, to refuse any appeal. Giving was a glory and a noy to huu ever since he began to accumulate wealth.

First, staking liberally parties of 'busted' prospectors 111 the mountains of Idaho, and helping them on the way to fortune, and as tho rewards of his own energetic and useful life piled into his treasury, he be- 1 came broader in his benefactions, and I the pleasure of giving grew." v-i SISAM CASE WILL BE CONCLUDED TODAY United States Smelting Company Charged With Damaging Crops. The case of J. IT. Sisam against the United States Smelting company will be concluded sonio time today. The plaintiff rested his caso shortly after its opening Monday morning, and the witnesses for the defonso were rushed through their examination.

The defense will rest before the noon adjournment and the case will be given to tho jury during the afternoon. With tho reopening of tho case Monday morning Klmcr Sisam was called to tho stand, nnd was followed 1)3' his father, tho plaintiff in the case. The plaintiff then rested, nnd with the opening of the dnfenso Mr, Sisum was again recalled for a few minutes. Other witnesses for the defense wero J. W.

Walker, Kephi Oregon-, Edward Hanson. J. W. Dunshoe. L.

Booth, M. Christopherson and August Pierson. A portion of the evidence given bv Mr, Sisam in tho case of J. l' Turner ngainst tho Utah Consolidated Mining company was road by counsel for the defcusa to combat that given 1)3'. Mr.

Sisam during tho present trial, and certain documentary evidence also was introduced. Mr. Pierson was tho final witness of J.he afternoon. He resides at Bingham Junction, and stated that smoke from both tho Highland B03' and United States smelters had damaged his crops to a considerable extent. Ho was of tho opinion that most of tho damage had been dono to his crops by smoke from tho Highland B03 smelter, although this was over two miles from his farm, whilo tho United States smelter was only about half a mile.

Smoko frequently spread out a mile in width, ho said, and hung very low to the a ground. Ho had brought a claim against both smelting companies, and they had settled with him out of court. Just before adjournment counsel for the defenso stated that, thero were onlv two or thrco moro witnesses to bo called, nnd thc' would tako but a vcr3" little of the court's time.

In connection with tho lromcndoii3 strides which havo been mado in tho development of real propcrt3" along tho Fast bench within tho pnst fow months ami especially tho development of tho cxtremo southenslorn section of the including Tjaurclhursl, thero has been a movement also in propcrl3' high up on the bench, east, of "Westminster Heights. Five months ago, John ft. Smith, a resident of Sugar House, sold fwenty acres of land on Twenty-third East slrect, near Twelfth South, for $2ii0 per acre. Last "week this samo property was sold for $500 per acre, an increase in valuo of 100 per cent. On Wednesday, January 13, tho samo party refused an offor from Butto investors of an aero for fifty-six acres of propert3 on Twelfth South between Seventeenth and East Twenty-first streets, which ten months ago was offered at a ralo of $500 per acre.

During the first of tho week, twoh'o and one-half acres of property on Twelfth South and Seventeenth East -wero sold for per acre. Forl3r acros of property in this locality wero sold last fall, and 200 more acres in tho vicinity of Laurelhurst wero purchased a few months ago b' a Salt Lako City investor. Both of thoso tracts will bo platted and laid out into building lots' ready to be placed on tho market in tho snrin g. Alive to Possibilities. These recent sales aro interesting on account of tho indication that investors and exploiters have already become thoroughly alive to ihc possibilities of investment in tho property along tho foot of tho mountains, and tho advantages of securing good locations in advance of any possiblo boom for that, lo-calit3'.

Tt is said that out sido investors have been purchasing property in this section also, and a number of parties from Colorado and Gccn "River havo already secured man)' choice locations hercP It is understood that efforts are now being nindc to have the Sugar House car line, which now stops at tho corner of Twelfth South and Thirteenth Fast, extended either to Twent)-first or Twenty-third East. It is also reported that tho Emigration Cation railroad, which was completed last summer 1)3' Le-Grand Young, will bo extended south along Twenty-third street to Seventeenth South as soon as it is possible to start work in tho spring.

Brecden has been decidod upon as tho successor of Dr. 15. G.

So far as recommendations aro concerned, 110 man could, or will, have better backing for the position than Mr. Anderson. Mr.

Anderson, who is a probation officer of tho Juvenile court at the present time, was formerly an instructor in tho normal department of tho University of Utah, and lias a largo majority nf f.ho faculty of that bi'' institution upon his application for tho judgship. In addition, superintendent Christcnscn, of tho city schools, all principals nnd a numbor of the leading minislcrs ot tho city, havo asked tho Juvenile- Court commission to appoint him. Owing to the high character of Mr. Anderson and his splendid qualifications for the office coupled with tho standing of tho petitioners, who arc urging his appointment, it. would look, and has lookod, as if there would be no question as to the plum going to the 3'oung man.

But the matter, of course, is up to tho federal bunch and tho federal bunch doosn't give a rap for what an3' or class of citizons ma3' sa3', when its own interests aro at stake. Tho Juvonilo Court commission comprises Governor Spry, Attorney-General Barnes and Stato Superintendent Nelson, and there is no question that the desire of the federal bunch will be law with at least two of tho membors of the commission.
