EXPENSIVE LIQUOR SELLING.


John Egan Gets Thirteen Months for Dis
posing OF "Fire Water to Red Men.
1t is expensive business to sell liquor
to Indians in Utah. That was demon
strated in the United States district
court before Judge Marshall at noon
today when he sentenced John Egan
to thirteen months in the State prison
and imposed a fine of 500 and costs.
Egan was formerly we'll to- do
rancher on the strip" near the Uintah
and Uncompahgre reservation. But he
saw an opportunity to make more
money out of the liquor traffic than he
could hope for in raising cattle and
horses, and therefore changed to the
former occupation. 1t is claimed that
his fire water" used to put bad
spirits" in the Indians and cause much
trouble for the whites. About year
ago Charles Cyreach. Ute Indian. and
Picket MURDOCH the latter an ''educat-
ed Indian" We're found in u drunken
condition and arrested. Then followed
the arrest and indictment of Egan.
Last night he was found guilty. At
noon he was sentenced. This after
noon he was sent to the county Jail and
this evening he will be taken to the
State prison to serve his term.
