DAVIS COUNTY CASES.
Litigants Before Judge Rolapp at
Pennington.

Pennington, Sept. 3.-The case of
John Fisher ct al. VS., Bountiful City
has occupied the time in Judge Ro-
lapp's court yesterday and today. The
question at issue is the right of the
city to control, regulate and distribute
water to claimants within the eorDor-
ate limits, and to levy and collect a
tax for such service The plaintiffs, it
seems, own property outside OF The city
proper, and remote. from the business
center, beyond the point where adYant-
ages are received from municipal gov
eminent. They have owned and used
water on their premises for more than
80 years, and since the city, in 1894, took
charge, there has been no better ser
vice. Hence they refused to pay the
taxes levied in 1894. 1895, 1895 and 1897,
and their property was sold for delin-
quency. The immediate cause OF bring
ing the suit was the passing of a reso-
luton by the Rountiful city council di-
rectinS the recorder, Charles +. Jones,
to deed plaintiffs property to the city.
A restraining order is prayed for.
Witness q We're examined yesterday
and this morning, and after arguments
the question was taken under advise
ment. Powers, Straup & Lippman rep
resent the plaintiffs, and the city's at
torneys are Wilson & Wiley.
RHYMNEY COMPANY WINS.
Judge Rolapp has rendered decision
in the mining suit between the Farm
ington Gold Mining company and the
Rhymney Gold and Copper Mining
company, involving the ownership Of
the Rhymney mining claim, probably
the mos Nyaluable property thus far To-
Gated in the Pennington district The
decree is in favor of the plaintiffs, who
and they are adjudged to be the owners
of the Rhymney claim, while the plain
tIffs are adjudged to be the owners of
the X. of L., 1924, Statehood, lucky
Five, and so much of the Lethe and
Gray mining claims as do not conflict
with the Rhymney mining claim. The
plaintiffs are also given the FIossie

THE ROBERTS FIGHT.
His Candidacy Introducing Discord
In the Party.

In the rarity.
Logan, Sept. 3.-The Roberts fight
here goes merrily on, and the primary
this evening promises to be as inter-
esting as a Dutch courtship. The
prospects are that the Roberts element
will be in control. They have been
working frantically the past few days
and have accomplished considerable
But few of them are able 10 give any
reason for their extraordinary activity
in behalf of Roberts. They don't claim
that his abilities are superior to those
of other candidates, or that he is bet
ter Democrat; they simply say they are
for Roberts and refuse to divulge their
reasons. OF course the motives OF some
of the leaders of the Roberts movement
are plain enough to those acquainted
with their their personal aims. They
intend to enter the field as candidates
for various county and other positions,
and think that by posing as leaders
of this b. II. Roberts campaign that
they will gain sufficient prestige with
the Roberts element to enable them to
control the party and divide up the Of
fees among themselves. If they sue
coed in accomplishing their design 1t
will cause a split in the Democracy OF
this county that will be hard to repair.
Policeman Phil Evans has announced
himself a candidate for sheriff, and
there is likely to be a dozen aspirants
to this office, seven or eight being in
the race already. County Chairman
Edwards and some of his friends are
working earnestly to secure the NOM

Vernal. Sept. 1.-Several copies Of a
circular issued by the WooIgrowers'
association of the state have been re-
ceived here. which urges the sheepmen
to use every effort to capture the con-
ventiOns and see to it that only men
who are friendly to the wool interests
be chosen for legislative honOrs.
The circular suggests the idea that
the powers of county courts be cur
tailed, so that they will be unable to
infiict such oppressive measures as the
county license on sheep. upon the wool
growers. They ask that the state pay
a bounty on coyotes instead of leav-
ing il TO the county authorities. as at
present. There is some uneasiness
among the county commissioners here
over the matter, as it is feared that If
the flockmasters gain control of the
legislature they will include in their
measures one giving a bounty on coun-
~ commissioners scalps. and as 1t is
just possible that some of the present
commissioners may succeed themselves
and they might be forced into hiding.

WEANT'S PRELIMINARY HEARING
EVIDENCE SHOWS TEAT GRAVES
WAS THE AGGRESSION.
Quarreled Over Sugar and Flour
''Drop That Iron or I'll Shoot Your
Head Off," Said Graves.

(From The Herald's Correspondence
Moab, Sept. considerable interest
is being taken here today in the pre-
liminary hearing in the case of s. D.
Weant, charged with the killing of Ed
r. Graves at the Weant camp, %
miles north of Thompson Springs, in
Grand county.
The defendant and the deceased
have been prominent citizens of this
county for a number of years
Judge Powers of Salt Lake City is
representing the defendant, and Coun-
ty Attorney Eddy is represent
ing the state. John Graves, a
brother OF the deceased. of Denver,
is present, watching the proceedings,
The testimony for the state was all
in this evening and the court adjourned
until tomorrow.
The evidence is all from eye-wit-
nesses, and there is very little dlffer-
ence in the story of each A a BettS,
the Rio Grande Western agent. at
Thompson, and his brother o. D.. Belts,
of Fulton. New. who were at the
Weant camp on g vacation outlngt
James Crystle, John Chapman ana
Raymond Thompson, all, stockmen,
were the witnesses.
The evidence is TO the effect that
Graves, in company with Chapman and
Crystle, reached the Weant camp at
about p. m on Aug. a, and all ate
dinner at the cabin, and after dinner
all chatted pleasantly together. About
5 p IN. Graves and party arose to
leave, and Graves had mounted his
horse, when a conversation commenced
between him ana Weant, Weant ask
ing Graves, regarding a mortgage,
when he was to get IL, Graves replying:
Il have written for il, but have not
heard from it, Graves then asked
NVeant when he was going to pay for
some sugar and -four, and Weant re-
piled:
Just as soon as get that mortgage,
eand not a minute quicker"
Graves then dismounted and adj
vanced toward Weant, struck him with
his fist, and a number 81 Flows were
exchanged between the men, Weant
appearing to get the worst of it.
Weant picked up a branding iron that
lay near him, when Graves said, Drop
that iron or viii shoot your head off, -
drawing his revolver. Weant then went
into the cabin, Graves following him,
revolver in hand, as far as the door.
o. D. Belts followed Weant into the
cabin and caught hold of a rifle that
Weant had in his hand, asking him
not to 90 that. Graves called. Let
him come out. He is too big a coward
to shoot" Graves was spoken to by
a A Belts, who was near the cabin
door, asking him to drop the matter,
and Graves said, Get out of the way;
I will fix him." Weant then came out,
rife in hand, cooked, and Graves
turned, and, putting up his revolver,
took his rife from the scabbard on the
saddle. and turned, facing Weant,
raising it, when Weant fired, the ball
striking Graves in the neck near the
collar bone. killing him instantly.
This appears to be the first serious
difference between the men.

The Washable influence is being ex-

desired.
Bishop D. S. Ensign, who was pres

discouraged the whole project. A COM

The resolution provoked a long and

especially opposed to repudiating the

however, by a good majority.
During the convention, the chairman
