"I'LL COME RIGHT BACK FROM SCHOOL"
But the Little Hero Could Not Keep His Promise - Pony Became Unruly -Train Struck and Killed Clyde Sharp."
      "I'll come right back from school,"  were the last words the bright little 11-year-old Clyde Sharp said to his mother as he vaulted into the saddle and proceeded to ride to the Fortieth district school at 8:30.
     Three-quarters of an hour later his sorrowing father, John A. Sharp, the well known sheepman, broght all that remained of his darling boy home in a  wagon.
     Clyde left his home on the banks of the Jordan river near Twelfth South street, to be run down by the south-bound freight, No. 26, on Twelfth South and Fifth West, and instantly killed. The two- year old Shetland pony, which he was riding, shared the same fate. No blame can be attached to the engineer of the train or to the boy, who stuck to his pony to the last and tried to turn it in its headlong flight. Like a little hero the lad sawed at the bit in the mouth of the frenzied pony, and was so intent on stopping the runaway that it is doubtful whether he realized his danger.
     Death was instantaneous. When the train was stopped the mangled form of the boy was picked up tenderly by rough hands, seventy-five feet by actual measurement from the spot where the crash happened. The pony lay on the east and opposite side of the track some thirty feet further south.
     Mrs. Box, who lives adjacent to the track, was probably the only eye-witness to the tragedy. When seen shortly after the accident she told the story of the sad occurrence amid tears. She said: "I saw the boy coming down the road on his pony, as he does every morning. He was going at a good gait, and passed over the track while the freight train was some distance up the line. After the pony had gone some little distance, it began to get unmanageagle, and endeavored to turn around and bolt back home. The boy tugged again, but the pony bolted right in front of the advancing train. The boy had plenty of time to save himself if he had thought of jumping off, but he ws intent on stopping the pony. 'The animal truned on to the culvert, and I screamed, and however I got over that barbed wire fence I will never know. I was the first to reach him and when I got there was dead. We got a sheet and covered him up and then someone went down and told his father, who came up in a rig and took him home. Oh, if he had only jumped off I would have said good for the pony that it was killed."
     The spot at which the accident occurred was a level piece of road with a clear view of the track for
half a mile each way. The road rises slightly as it approaches the railroad tracks, and is flanked on either side by a ditch. Especially does thsi hold good on the south side of the road where the ditch could almost be called a creek. Beyond this ditch is a stout wire fence, so that it was impossible for the boy  to have turned his pony out of the road. From the hoof marks in the damp soil adjacent to the ditch it is apparent that the animal did considerable plunging before it got the better of the plucky little rider.
     Once on the track there was no escape from the approaching train, as the culvert consisted of open ties that made it impossible for a horse to get a footing.
     Justice of the Peace John Gabbott was summoned and he hastily impaneled a jury from among those who had gathered on the scene, consisting of T. E. Price, J. Cornick and another gentleman; they viewed the remains and the scene of the accident, and then all that was mortal of little Clyde was taken to his home by his father and sister, both of whom were nearly frantic with grief at the awful affair.
     From a cursory examination the neck, back and shoulder of the little fellow had been broken by the force of the impact. He had also sustained a scalp and scull wound that was of a nature to cause death in itself.
     The inquest over the remains was to be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

OBITUARY: WILEY EDGAR SHARP GIVES UP STRUGGLE
Young Student Dies after Battle of Five Weeks, Against Illness.
     Wiley Edgar Sharp, the 17-year old son of John A. and Rebecca Bennion Sharp died yesterday noon at the family residence, corner of Redwood road and Twelfth South Streets. The young man was operated on five weeks ago for acute appendicitis. The doctors gave up hope after the operaton, for the appendictis was accompanied by futher compications.
     Sharp, however, refused to comply with the ideas of the the doctors and for five weks fought a brave, though losing fight. It seemed a physical impossibility for him to live from hour to hour, but he refused to give up. Death came quietly when the will of the boy, as well as his body, had been crushed by the long illness.
     As a student in the Latter-day Saints high school Sharp distinquised himself both for his studious application and  the cheeriness of spirit, which made him a favorite among both the students and faculty. He was a member of the sophomore class, in whose activities he had shown always a great interest.
     He was born on January 30, 1099, in Salt Lake. His parents, a sistser and four brothers survive him. His sister is Mrs. George A. Sanders of Murray and his brothers Jesse B. Sharp, June B. Sharp, who is now on a mission in South Africa, Leo B. Sharp and Ira B. Sharp.
     Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

ESTEEMED YOUTH CALLED BY DEATH (From Tuesday's Daily)
Wiley Edgar Sharp, 17 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Sharp, Twelfth South and Redwood road, died at the family residence at 12:25 oclock this afternoon from complications following an operation for appendicitis. He had been in a serious condition five weeks. Furneral arrangements have not been yet made.
     The young man was a student of the L.D.S. high school, where he was esteemed by the entire membership. News of his death created throughtout the school this afternoon profound sorrow, especially among those students who knew him more intimately. Faculty members and students alike admired him and manifested deepest concern throughout his long illness. The announcement today cast a distinct gloom over the school.
     The boy's fight for his life was nothing short of sublime. Operated on five weeks ago at a local hospital for appendicitis, he was immediately pronounced in a critical condition, from which it was doubted if he could recover. Since the operation physicians and surgeons have repeatedly declared him beyound hope or recovery, and on various occasions have predicted that he could live but a few hours. Through the struggle, though the entire time he was weak and almost beyond description, he maintained a determination that is considered remarkable, remaining confident to the end that he would overcome the effects of the disease and of the operation.
     Surviving the boy are his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Mary E. Sanders, wife of George A. Sanders, of Murray; and Jesse B. Sharp, June B. Sharp, (Now on a mission in South Africa,) Leo B. Sharp, and Ira B. Sharp of this city.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES FOR WILEY EDGAR SHARP
     Impressive funeral services for Wiley Edgar Sharp, who died May 25, following an operaton , were held yesterday afternoon in the Pioneer stake hall. Bishop Lewis M. Cannon of Cannon ward, presided and was one of the spearkers. Others who paid tribute to the character of the young men were Principal O.J.P. Widtsoe of the L.D.S.U. where he was a student, Principal Adam Bennion of the Granite high school, where he had also attended, Bishop Heber S Cutler of the Thirtieth ward, Prest. William McLachlan of Pioneer stake, June Lindsay, and C.E. Davey of the Cannon ward bishopric.
