Thursday Ann Elmer and Henry Car.
rigan filed the papers of a So 1000 suit for
damages in the clerks office of the Third
District Court. The complaint is lodged
against Messrs. Hall, Sells, sowles,
Wilkes, Lyons, Dewitt, Thrall, Arm
strong, McCook, Carroll, McNiece
Mackie and Wright, all prominent citi-
zens OF Salt Lake, who were greatly sur
prlsed on being called to defend them
selves in y lively suit for damages, as
directors OF Mount Olivet cemetery. IL

me plaintiffs purchased a lot in the Gem.

BEFORE THE CITY's TRIBUNAL.
s. III. Lewis, the First Upon the
List, Convicted and Sentenced,
and of Course He Appeals.

Following the decision OF Judge Zane
yesterday in the habeas corpus case Of
Deputy Vandercook, remanding l.. and
l.. cases back to the Justices Court S. III.
Lewis, charged with the crime of lewd-
ness, was at once arraigned before Police
Justice Speirs for trial. A motley crowd
OF the riff-raff of the city congregated in
the small room OF the City Hall to hear
the low. disgusting, though sensational
testimony, which is to convict on every
application. The complaint charging Mr..
Lewis with "lewdness" with Fanny Da-
venport, on the 9th of last September,
was read to the defendant, who inter-
posed Il demurrer on the grounds that
the charge did not state sufficient facts to
constitute an offense, and that the Justice
OF the Peace had no jurisdiction in this
class of cases.
The demurrer was overruled and trial
commenced. Royal B. Young, j. B.
Stewart and Officer VIM Salmon were
sworn as witnesses. Royal Young showed
himself to be the prime detective in the
Lewis case, and no one knows how many
he has recorded when not adjusting
clocks, making ward calls and compiling
such reasonable sermons as enunciated
last Sunday.
Lewis being found guilty OF "lewdness"
with Fanny Davenport, was sentenced to
three months imprisonment in the
county Jail and to pay fine of 5000. He
furnished $500 bonds, with Bolivar Rob-
erts and a. BriXen as sureties, and took
an appeal to the District Court.
About 2:30 o'clock G. +. Pearson came
into court and was sentenced to the usual
fine and Imprisonment. A bond was
placed at $500 and signed by S. w.
Darke and Mr.. Holden, OF the Telephone
Company. Scip Kenner asked Mr.. Hol-
den several questions as to his property
and the circumference thereon. From the
answers given by Mr.. Holden it was ruled
that he was not a responsible bondsman,
and Pearson was allowed to 90 out and
hunt up another man to sign the docu-
ment. In about hall an hour he returned
with ?. Tomney, who was accepted.
Richard Mcintyre and George Barr
were accepted as Mr.. Bush's bondsmen.

DEATH OF JOHN II. RICE.
Another Mining Pioneer of Nevada
and Utah Suddenly "CrOsses
the Dividc.o

The sad news was telegraphed Mr.
ID. S. Spencer yesterday that his brother.
in-law, John II. Rice, had died in Tomb.
stone, Arizona, that morning, from an
attack of pneumonia.
Deceased was born in Texas, and at the
time of his death was 81 years OF age
When young man he came to the West,
went through many of the vicissitudes
incidental to pioneer life, following the
mining excitements from the Comstock
White Pine, Eureka, Phoebe, down to
Silver Reef, where he engaged in the
banking business-made money and lost
it-and about three years ago sought
Arizona as q field for new operations in
which to WOO Fortunes favors back again.
A letter received from him few days
ago left him in his usual health, and the
first intmation that anything serious had
occurred was the dispatch already referred
to. The body will be brought to this city
for interment beside the remains of his
wife, and will arrive here during next
week.
Throughout the West the name of John
Rice was well known. Kinder to others
than to himself, he failed to keep the
gold his energy and industry brought
him; and stronger in his friendship than
in his love OF lucre, he created circle of
friends who will learn with sincere regret
of his sudden call.
In his social relations the deceased
proved himselfa loving and devoted hus-
band and father, and leaves two children
in this city to whom his death will be Il
sad bereavement. To his intimate COM
panions he was Il fellow OF infinite Jest; ;
those appreciated him better who
knew him best, and now that his
memory is but left, his friends will
treasure and hold it sacred

SELLING WHISKY IN SANPETE.
a Point for the Revenue Officials
to Work Up-Good Opinions of
the Democrats,
EPHRAIM, SANPETE County,
Utah, December 8.

Utan, december S.)
The DEMOCRAT is read in Ephraim by
many besides those who subscribe for the
paper, and it is surely winning it way in
the confidence of the people as fearless
and outspoken exponent OF right and JUS
tice to ALL 1t is Il paper for the people,
and in the interests OF the people it is
doing what every heightened journal
should aim to do. This is the universal
opinion OF the readers of the DEMOCRAT
in Ephraim.
A question has been agtating the
minds of the people here for some time
in regard to the whisky traffic OF this
place. 1t is Il question that our citizens
take to heart-fathers, mothers, sisters,
brothers, the wife of the drunkard, and
all good citizens cry out against it. We
have not one licensed saloon in the city
OF Ephraim, yet there is no scarcity OF
liquor; plenty can be COTTON every day
in the week, and Sunday in particular !;
one individual here especially,
who is noted as the Whisky
Chief of Sanpete, for years has laughed
at the efforts OF the people OF Ephraim to
stop his whisky traffic. No wonder that
the Tribune, short time since, spoke of
a whisky seller OF Ephraim who had ac-
cumulated some twelve thousand bushels
OF grain. This is the truth the Tribune
is correct on that point sure. 1t is well
known where our boys get the liquor;
it is well known that this indi-
vidual is dealing out his horrible stuff
called liquor to our sons, our fathers
our brothers, and that he has made many
home wretched and that he will con-
tinue to do So. The Whisky Chief is well
known in Sanpete county, and the Won
der is, for it is wonderful, that this
man can run his business under the very
noses OF out city fathers; and that he
does do it and has done it for years can
not be unknown to them; and here, Mr..
Editor, we would like to ask few ques-
tons in connection with this subject
which we hope you will be kind enough
to answer, so that all may know and
profit thereby
First-What is the penalty for selling
liquor without revenue license?
Second-lf party, after selling liquor
Tor one or two years without n revenue
license, then takes out license, does
that exculpate him for the time he sold
without license?
Third-If person sells liquor for nine
months in the year without Il revenue
license and for fear OF trouble he takes
out II license in the last quarter, for the
whole year, including the nine months
which have passed, does this save him
from liability for the nine months he sold
without license?
Fourth-Can person holding Gov
eminent otlice-a postmaster, for in
stance-sell liquor without revenue
license, and draw salary from Uncle
Sam as postmaster?
If you will kindly answer the above
questions, you will much oblige
MANY CITIZENS OF EPHRAIM.
The penalty for the first offense is fine
and Imprisonment in the Penitentary.

A Smart Engl;sI,man Arrested.

A dispatch dated Pueblo tCol.), De-
cember 9th, contains the following:
Alfred C. Hammond, Il tall. smart
Englishnan about 20 years old, was ar
rested on the Denver & Rio Grande
train from Salt Lake this evening, by
Marshal Hahn, on the charge of embezzle-
ment. The marshal had received tele-
gram from Sheriff Becker, of Leadville.
authorizing the arrest. 1t seems that
Hammond had lease on n mine, and
the charge against him is supposed to be
that he sold the mine and absconded with
the money: He had large sum on his
person and was well dressed and we'll
equipped. When arrested he attempted
to pull gun, but the marshal made him
drop it, Hammond was accompanied by
VERY handsome young woman whom he
acknowledged to be his mistress. She
refused to get off the train, and went on
to Denver. 1t is supposed she had good
part OF Hammond's money. He is in
jail awaiting. the arrival OF the officers
from Leadvile.

Magnificent Edition of Poe's Craven. )"

Parsons has just received an elegant
copy OF Harper Bros Poe's Craven, ;"
illustrated by Dorc. 1t is an unusually
large book, being about 15x23 inches,
and of first-class mechanical makeup.
The poem is commented on by Edmund
G. stedman, and the illustrations have
been made by noted American engravers
1t is a magnificent work, and as one
turns the pages OF the book the convic-
ton is irresistible that here two great
and immortal men OF genius have met
Poe, the poet, and Dore, the artist.
The Raven, perhaps more than any
other OF his writings, has given Poe his
widest fame, and exhibited more clearly
ms wonderful and peculiar power of
Imagination. The Craven" is poetical
eccentricity found nowhere else in the
vast domain OF literature. Had Poe
written but that, it would have immor-
talized his name for all time to come.
The association OF the French artist, Gus
tav,e Dore, is exceedingly appropriate,
ana envlrons the poem with additional
interest. Dore, rs an illustrator, was
equally as fantastic and prolific as Poe
was writer Dore's Imagination knew
no bounds, and the Craven" proved n
hitting subject upon which to lavish his
grotesque conceptions. Had Poe lived
to see the hidden meaning of the craven"
wrought out so clearly by the master
iland OF Dore, it would have been infn-
itely more gratifying than that the entire
French nation had memorized the poem.
and knowing it, he might have died
happy. "'o ''0'

AN ORIENTAL QUESTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN lis Japan
an Asiatic country" is the heading
of an article in this mornings Ad-
yerttser, in which the writer agrees
that Japan is not Asiatic in the
sense that China is. From this no
one who has any knowledge of the
two countries and peoples will dis.
sent. Nor does the prejudice which
exists here against the Chinese
among natives and whites apply to
the japanese. Of course, it may
be possible to find n few cranks that
oppose japanese immigration, or
any other immigration that might
be attempted. Taken altogether, it
appears to me that the japanese are
about the best class of people that
could he brought to the country,
and immeasurably ahead of South
Sea Islanders and others that were
formerly brought here by the Gov
ernment. l know this view to be
held also by many long resident
here who have given the matter care
full and mature consideration. Nc
one familiar with japanese history
of the past twenty years can with,
hold admiration for that progres.
sive nation, and no one who has had
practical experience among the Japa'
nese people can help esteeming ant
welcoming them to these islands.
