Chief Andrew H. Burt
Killed in the Line of Duty
August 25, 1883
Chief Andrew H. Burt was murdered by a deranged man in downtown Salt Lake City. Accompanied by the city water master, the 54-year-old victim was searching for a suspect who had earlier threatened the life of a local merchant.
When they found the suspect here, at 200 S. Main, he shot Chief Burt with a .45-70 caliber rifle. The city water master was also wounded but managed to disarm the suspect, who was immediately captured. Chief Burt was married and the father of a large number of children. He is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Learn more about Chief Burt and all of Salt Lake City Police Department’s fallen officers at http://www.slcpd.com.

Chief Terikee

On the evening of September 16, 1850, Shoshone Indian Chief Terikee, who had a reputation for being friendly, was returning to his camp on Four Mile Creek after paying respects to Lorin Farr in Ogden.
As he was driving his ponies out of Urban Stewart’s unfenced cornfield, Stewart armed himself and fired randomly toward the rustling sound, killing Terikee. This incident forced Stewart to leave the area.
Shoshone tribes demanded Stewart be turned over to them or they would massacre the inhabitants of Ogden and burn the settlement. 150 men were sent from Salt Lake City to the rescue. Learning of the coming troops, Terikee’s band retaliated by killing a man named Campbell, who was gathering cattle into Farr’s Fort, and then took their Chief’s body and retreated northward.
Chief Terikee was killed at a site approximately 200 feet west of this monument.
This monument is located in Harrisville, Utah.

At the junction of highways 6 and 89 in Spanish Fork Canyon where 89 cuts off to go to Sanpete is a heart made of painted rocks and three crosses memorializing 5 who have lost their lives on the road at that location.
Katie and Taylor Marcus from Ogden tragically lost their lives April 3rd, 2014.
16-year-old Katherine “Katie” Pauline Marcus and her 12-year-old brother, Taylor Zane Marcus were the inspiration for the heart memorial.
The next year, 38-year-old Heather Jacobson and 7-year-old Broc Jacobson of Cleveland, Utah were also killed at the location.
A third cross was added for Merlene Green of Fairview who had been killed at the intersection back on October 2, 2003.
Hopefully we can all be a little extra careful and remember these people who were gone too soon.

Joseph D. Adams Memorial Park
According to police, Adams stopped a suspected drunken driver at 2100 N. 1200 West just before 11 p.m. Friday. Adams reportedly ticketed the man for DUI and asked him to step out of his vehicle. In the process of being handcuffed, the man was somehow able to free one hand, grab a small handgun and begin shooting, Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Harris said.
A wounded Adams was still able to shoot the assailant numerous times before the man got into his car and drove away with Adams’ handcuffs dangling from one wrist.(*)
