PIUTE COUNTY FIGHT.
County May Be Divided Up Among
Its Neighbors.
Especial to The Herald,


Marysvale, Utah, Oct. 1.-THE first
information received by Marysvale that
an election had been called to settle
the question of the county seat was
conveyed by The Herald which arrived
last evening. Much Indignation was
expressed, as the election. comes at the
end Of a very dull season in mining,
and when Marysvale is unprepared TO
meet the issue. Mining men have more
business with the county recorder than
ali the balance of the county combined,
and the present location of the county
recorders Office is off to one side and
very incOnvenient to dealers in mines
or mining property. As this election
will settle the question for the next
four years in Piute county, the only
hope is to throw our votes to Circle
vile, thereby locating it as far off as
possible, and then have the legislature
this winter move the Sewer county line
one township further south. This will
place the Ohio, Mt. Badly and Gold
Mountain districts in Sewer county,
which, under the circumstances, will
be a great convenience. as Richfield is
much more accessible than any of the
places that stand a chance of winning
the location of the county seat at the
present time.
The people who are responsible for
this move at the present may find that
they have made a great mistake, for
the place that gets the county seat will
secure but an empty honor The finan-
cial condition in Piute county will of
itself compel the next Legislature to
take some action TO relieve its present
distress, and the only way out of the
present difficulties will be TO divide her
up and annex portions TO neighboring
counties. This move will unite the peo-
pie in this part of the county in favor
of some action of this kind, otherwise
they would have been willing to abide
with the evils they have and not fly
to evils they know not Of.

BISHOP TAYLoR's STATEMENT.
President Shurtliff Did Not Refer to
the Church.

Bishop Levi ]. Taylor of HarrisviIle.
yesterday called at The Herald office
for the purpose of making an explana-
ton. Bishop Taylor said he had made
statement to a gentleman whom he
supposed was a Herald reporter con-
corning the report of his statement be-
fore the Democratic committee regard
ing his conversation with President
Shurtliff, reported in The Herald Fri
day. Mr.. Taylor said technically the
report was misleading if it purported
to quote Mr.. Shurtiiffs exact words, as
he had been informed it did With this
understanding he made a statement to
the supposed reporter, which on more
mature consideration he found was too
strong. He wanted to withdraw the
statement for modification, but it had
been furnished the Tribune and he was
penied the privilege. Following is the
statement which he wanted to correct:
! The church was not mentioned
either in President Shurtliff's conversa-
ton to me or mine to him. He did say
that he. would like for me to fall into
line. but the remainder of that para

any hesitancy in deciding on which side
the church stood is false

NOT EXACTLY A PERFECT LADY
MRS. LYDIA ERWIN APPEARS TO
BE A VIOLENT PERSON.
Mrs Hogan Alleges She Used Her Up
Very Badly-Reporters, However,
Are Her Special Aversion.

Mrs. Hattie Hogan, of Al South West
Temple, presented herself before the
bar of police justice yesterday morn
ing with the most completely pounded
face that has come under the cogniz-
ance of the court for many day. The
tntire left portion of her face was hor-
ribly distorted and swollen and pre-
scented a great variety of colorS, which
later settled into the conventional black
and blue that flesh always wears after
it has been severely beaten. Mrs. Ho-
gan declared that the author of her
injuries was Mrs. Lydia Erwin, wife
of Urias d. Erwin, who occupies rooms
in the same building. She said there
had been trouble between them regard
ing the water and that Mrs. Erwin had
been very unreasonabl in her demands
and wanted to monopolize the water.
Finally Mrs. Erwin assaulted her yes
terday morning about IL o'clock and
after throwing her down pounded her
numerically, of which the condition of
Mrs. Hogan's face bears ample testi-
mony. A warrant was Immediately is
sued for Mrs. Erwin's arrest on the
charge of assault and battery.
An hour later appeared before Judge
Timmony a woman, who didn't look
savagely ferOcious, although from her
brown eyes snapped a good deal of
fire. 1t was Mrs Erwin and, after tell
ing what had occurred. asked if she
could have a fine imposed and let the
affair be dismissed without publicity.
His honor explained how obviously i'm
possible that would be, and as Police
man Simpson had just been armed with
the warrant, the woman was immedi-
ately placed under arrest.
DON'T LIKE REPORTERS.
Then it was that Mrs. Erwin's blood
began to boil with anger and mortifi-
cation, as she began to behold visions
of prison bars and newspaper and court
publicity. She was especially averse
