• V. A. Hill, a Kaysville farmer, age 33, went hunting yesterday. He stumbled and fell with the gun in his hand. The weapon discharged, the bullet passing thru his left arm below the elbow. He was brought to St. Marks Hospital where surgeons found it necessary to amputate the arm.
• Melissa Smith and John W. Gailey were united in marriage in the Salt Lake Temple.
• Mary Ashton one of the old inhabitants of Kaysville died last night of old age and general debility. Her earnest desire has been to live to see her 80th birthday, and it is remarkable she died the day after that event. The old lady and her husband Samuel Ashton were members of the handcart company that came across the plains in 1856. No children were born to them. The funeral is on Monday.
• James H. Raddon, a prominent citizen of Kaysville was instantly killed today by engine No. 41 of the Rio Grand Western. He was driving his wagon toward his home and did not see the engine until it was too late. A portion of the wagon was thrown 100 feet. The team of horses were not injured.
