The M. E. Church-- The Methodist Church is fast approaching completion,
and when finished will be an ornament in the city. The structure is to be
32x50 feet, built of brick in the Gothic style of architecture. Rev. Mr.
Long, pastor of the church, is diligently pressing forward the work, so
that, before the winter sets in earnestly, it will be in a fair way of
advancement for its early completion.

Fatal Accident. - Mr. Chas. Gerke, a well-known traveller for wholesale
liquor houses, was going East last Friday, and on arriving at Fremont,
stopped for dinner. When the train was moving out he attempted to get on
board while it was in motion, was dragged under the wheels, and received
such injuries on his back and limbs that he soon after expired. His family
reside in Omaha.
Terminated Fatally. - We regret to say that Wm. Haney, the young man who
was shot, and rode so pluckily, when wounded to Terrace, and came on to
Ogden, died about noon to day from mortification. Dr. Brown expected to be
able to save the limb, but unexpectedly mortification set in and death
occurred, as above. Hailey & Co., for whom the young man was working when
shot, have been telegraphed for, and are expected on this evening’s U. C.
train.
Shooting at Kelton. - Yesterday Wm. J. Groes was examined by Justice
Jacobs at Corinne, on the charge of killing John Rosevear at Kelton. He
was comitted to await the action of the Grand Jury. The particulars of the
case are as follows:
About three weeks ago Groes married Susan Rosevear. The young lady’s
mother was willing, but her father, who was working at Gold Hill, Nevada,
became terribly enraged when he heard of it, and immediately returned
home, breathing threatenings and slaughter. On reaching his house he threw
his spurs at his wife, and swearing he would kill Groes he started to get
his daughter. He drew a pistol on the young man’s father, and seizing his
daughter endeavored to take her away. On her husband’s refusal to part
with her he said one of them would be in hell in less than half a minute.
Whereupon young Groes drew a revolver and shot his father-in-law, who
turned, said, coolly, his man was a little too quick for him, walked to
his house, sent for his wife, who was afraid to come, and in half an hour
from the shooting, expired. Two shots were fired; one went into the floor,
the other into Rosevear’s left side. He was a large man, weighing about
190 lbs., and waas 42 years of age. He had been drinking a little, but was
not intoxicated. His objection to the marriage was the youth of his
daughter. Young Groes will have to await the action of the Grand Jury, but
we think it is very doubtful that they will find an indictment against
him.

Burial - Wm. Haney, the wounded man who was stopping at the Globe hotel,
and who died yesterday, was buried this afternoon. Deceased was in the
employ of Mr. Whitney, of Salt Lake at the time the wound was received,
and Mr. W. came up to Ogden today, and with the assistance of Patsy Haley,
an engineer on the C. P., attended to the arrangements for the funeral.
Deceased had no relatives in this country, but had sufficient means to pay
his burial expenses. The Rev. Mr. Lang officiated at the funeral services,
which were attended by a few of the friends of the deceased.
