DEATH OF J. 5. KENT.
A Pioneer Citizen Passes Away
This Mornins---His History Con-
nected With That Of City.

1t was an early morning visit OF the
death angel which called our old and re-
spected townsman, James s. Kent, to his
last resting place. The invisible visitor
came just as day was braaking and at
time which was eft-tlmes said by him to
be the best portion of the day. The
visit was not unexpected and the tired
spirit of the deceased hailed the coming
with relief.
James S. Kent was born in the grand
old state of Pennsylvania, in Centre
county, seventy-feur years ago. his
family was OF that states represen ative
and sturdy stock, and there he early &C.
quired habits of thrift which made him
keen and successful merchant.
just about one half of his life he spent
in the Keystone state. and then he fol-
lowed the trend OF travel in that early
day and came to Iowa IN 1864. Here he
lived for some time in West Union county,
and afterwards started further west and
at last became pioneer in this county.
In early life he had learned the trade OF
printing and followed it for seme time in
the city Of st. Louis.
Seventeen years ago he arrived in
what was then a portion Of GYnnison
county but afterwards WAS divided and
this part was named Mesa. Ever since
his arrival here he has been identified
with the material interests OF this city
and county and in the upbuilding of the
community. He successfully carried on
the hard are business until the time OF
his retirement several years ago. He
was always public spirited, and many
public buildings and improvements are
due to his energy and forethought.
The wife OF the deceased died several
years ago and there are LEFT to mourn his
death, four daughters, the wives of for.
mer respected citizens and residents.
They are Mrs. Frank MeClintock. Of Mt.
Vernon, New York; Mrs. A. j. McCune,
OF Denver; Mrs. Frank Parker, OF Salt
Lake and Mrs. G. e. Mitchell, of Tre-
mont, Ohio. All of these children were
at his bedside when he died. ministering
with most tender care to his last wants
and wishes
The pews of his death was not unex-
pected by the many old friends OF the
d, ceased, as he has been a sufferer for
many long weeks and his death was
looked for at any time.
The family have tho sympathy of the
community IN the loss OF their father.
He will be buried tomorrow afternoon at
two o'clock from the Baptist church,

Coalville. Aug. 24-For reasons best

sheep and cattlemen who range their
herds in Summit county have failed 70
comply with the law relating to filing
certificates of assessment from the
treasurer of the county where they
were assessed with the proper officer of
this county, as also have men owning
herds in other states failed TO file their
bonds guaranteeing the tax as required
by statute, which is in the sum of 10
cents per head for sheep and 40 cents
per head for cattle on transitory herds.
As a result of this failure the county
officials, under the direction of the
board of commissioners of this coun-
", have begun and Wilt henceforth in
stitute and push an aggressive prosecu-

Warrants have been issued and COM

this county who has thus violated the
law governing the grazing of sucn

Another violation of the law by some
of the sheepmen is that they have per-
Jured themselves by reporting very

they have or own, which are ranging
here. and rigid investigation into this
matter viii be vigorously pushed

sition proceedings.
The officers and prosecutors from
Idaho returned to their homes empty
bar ded last evening. but with the way
clear for them to come here again with
ffawless papers for the arrest and
transportation of Hassard. Whether
they will try again to extradite the Salt
Lake man on the offense complained
of is doubtful, but if the attempt is
made anothes contest going to. show
the alleged righteousness of the pros
ecution will be undertaken, the ac-
cused declares.
The reason why HaSSard is trying 10
defeat his extradition to the jurisdic-
ton of Idaho is said to be that while
he has no fears Of an acquittal on this
charge in the courts there, he wishes
to avoid the expense and loss of time
incident to a forced return to the state
in which last year he was doing bust
ness for a few months.
Now that the attempt to take Has
sard from the state to force him to be-
come responsible for liabilities of the
old partnership has failed, the COM
plant against him on file in Justice
Kroeger's court charging him with be-
ing a fugitive from justice from the
state of Idaho will be dismissed.

The Ladies, Tailor

4 reporter for The Herald called on
Mr. Clark, the ladies' tailor. AT tne
Kenyon, and was much impressed with
the display he found in the small par
Tor Mr. Clark discusses the art of cos
tuning as one who knows what he
is talking about. In answer TO the re-
porterS Inquiry as to how he could
mt a lady without an opportunity to
try on, he explained clearly how il is
possible for him to guarantee a perfect
Mt without try-on. while dressmakers
often fail after repeated ''try-ons." He
uses a patent machine that is fitted 10
every patrons figure. He takes the
specifications from this and sends them
10 his house in Chicago, where the
tailors in his establishment adjust a
similar machine according to figures
given them. They then adjust an ad-
Justlble form 10 these figures. The
result then is an exact duplicate in the
Chicago establishment of the Iady's
form. Among the latest novelties to
be seen is a handsome street costume
with a handsome double breasted
Jacket, Elton effect, scallooed reyeres
and Medicia collar, trimmed with silk
embroidery and with the new cloth
applique on front, back and sleeves,
reveres and collar. The skirt is hand

reasonable.

SUICIDE OF DANIEL ], DEVINE
KILLED HIMSELF WITH RIFLE
AT DEEP CREEK.
Tired With Battling With a World
He Considered Unfeeling-His
Unfinished Letter.
Special Correspondence

Deep Creek, Utah, Aug. 20.-Daniel
J. Devine, the adopted son of the late
Martin Devine, the cousin of John C.
Devine, shot himself to death at some
unknown hour last night. His body
was found this morning just outside
his cabin door lying in pool of blood.
Life was extinct and the gun by his
side told the story of his death. The
unfortunate man had attempted sui
eide twice before. Once he put a
bullet into his head, but he recovered.
The next time he put pistol to his
head and pulled the trigger. but as he
did SO he lodged and the bullet went
into the ceiling. But this last time he
was entirely successful.
The day before Devine visited with
the Hall family with whom he was on
friendly terms. They were going away
to be gone two weeks. On taking his
leave in the evening he said that he
did not know what would become of
him while they were gone and said that
he might be dead when they got back.
Later in the evening a friend called at
Devine's cabin and found him very
much excited and nervous. He asked
the friend TO stay with him, but he
could not. After he left, the miserable
man wrote the following note in which
he bewailed his sad fate:
''lbapah, Utah., Aug, to my friends
on Deep Creek. 1 want to say a few
words before 1 depart.
Il know my thoughts are not con-
nected enough to say all 1 would like
to say for my mind 1 know is plum dis
tracted. 1 have suffered my share,
wandering about and out of my head
Everybody 1 know has been good to
me but when the mind gives way what
can a man do?
TITS hard to see everybody enjoying
themselves and you in misery, spell
bound and helpless.
L never had much trouble till ny
head got bothered through sickness
and grief and now in my misery I see
people trying to abuse and torment
me.
But when Dan Devine has to take
abuse from any other man that ever
lived it is good time that he was dead
and in his grave.
Il labored for John Devine with nv
mind half distracted from previous
misfortunes until
1t seems from the unfinished letter
that the poor man was worked UP to
the highest pitch and in the moment
of his excitement took the fatal step.
And yet the evidence shows that he
went about the matter with some
elaboration. He took off his shoes
and socks, stepped outside the door
of his cabin, put the muzzle Of his rifle
to his head and pulled the trigger with
his big toe. The ball entered the head
just above and in front of the ear. 1t
passed clear through, carrying the eye
with it This was found in the willow
roof of a shed in the rear of the house
Death was instantaneous. DeVine
seems not to have moved after he fell.
He fell forward on his face and the
gun fell back in the other direction
The deceased left S130 in money and
some horses. So far as known he had
no relatives.

UTAH STATE WILL NOT Be
IDAHO'S COLLECTION AGENT

Just as every one who has followed
the case expected would be the result.

refused to honor the requisitiOn of Ida

tent 10 defraud creditors Of the firm
in which the accused and his brother
in-law, Armstrong, were partners.
While it answered the purpose of vim
dicating Hassard, in a measure, OF any
intent at wrongdoing. the decision or
the Utah executive in refusing to let
the accused be extradited TO Idaho was
based upon technical grounds. The
sufficiency of the complaint was OBJ
iected to by W. r. Hutchinson, attor-
hey for HassaTd, on the ground that it

QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY.
Law Fixes Qualifications of State

Superintendent of Schools.
Prominent educators, both Democrats

anxious that the very best available
timber from each party shall be put in
nomination for. the office of state su-
perintendent of public instruction, be-
lieve that they have discovered a pro-
vision in the law which will shut out
not a few aspirants for the office.
IL Is pointed out by them that sec

Scribes qualifications of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction to
be- among other things, that he shall
be the holder of a state teachers GER
titicate of the highest grade. or shall
be graduate of a reputable college
or normal school taking a full course.
The point made by these educators
is that whoever the Superintendent-
elect may be, he must be possessed of
at least professional diploma of high
school grade such as is required by eN-
animation, or other evidence of having
attained high degree Of scholarship
in all of the higher branches of study
taught in the state. for the very APP
parent sound reason that the state su-
perlntendent of public instruction Is
eX-officio chairman of the state board
or education, which is charged with
the duty Of issuing certificates and d.
plomas of scholarship to teachers. To
have superintendent who possesses
only professional diploma of a lower
grade passing Judgment upon a candi-
date for certificate Of higher scholar
ship, would be an incongruity that is
not to be desired, and would certainly
rise up 10 plague the superintendent.
This question of eligibility is one that
Is causing no little amount of discus
sion in educational and political circles.

WANT H|LES TO RUN
Pressure Being Brought to Bear
On Judge.
SEEKS TO QUIT POLITICS
BELIEVES DEMOCRATIC TICKET
SURE TO WIN.

There is a strong effort being made
by prominent members of the bar of
this state, representing all parties. to
induce Judge ogden Hiles to recon-
slider his determination to decline a.
nomination to a seat on the supreme
bench of the state. 1t has been known
for some time by many of his Demo-
cratic friends that Judge Hiles was
disinclined to be a candidate. and a
quiet effort was being made to induce
him to change his mind
Now that his Discrimination is MAIDS
public the effort will be renewed with
greater force. Rarely if ever in the
history Of the state has there been
such unanimity of sentiment for a
man for any office as there now is for
Judge Hiles for the supreme bench. The
sentiment of the bar is especially strong
in his favor.
Speaking OF the matter Judge HiIes
says that there never was a time in his
life when he was more deeply interest
ed in Democratic success than now: he
has no doubts whatever Of the success
of The Democratic ticket in this state.
the salary Of the Office is sufficient for
an his wants as he has no expensive
habits, but he wishes to get out of
public office
u have no taste" he said: "for being
paraded before the public-my tastes
are all in the opposite direction. | did
not want the Office of district Judge in
1885 but the Republicans had put up
very poor candidates, and the people
made it appear to me that il was NV
duty to make the race. Judge Howat
Judge Young and l were elected. The
others were compelled to resign. but I
felt that l had made a sort of promise
20 serve until my term was out. Were
it not for that 1 should have resigned
long ago"
Judge HileS was informed that it was
being said that the reason he would
not run was that certain other candi-
dates were sure to b. nominated for
important offices on he Democratic
ticket, and that he would not run on
the same ticket with them.
There is not a word of truth in
that. was the reply; Il have too much
respect for the men and women who
make up the Democratic party to take
such a foolish position as that. No
man is worthy of any office at the
hands Of the Democratic party who is
not willing to submit his case to the
wishes Of his party. No. my only
reason for taking the position I do in
this matter is that l do not wish to
hold public office longer, office of any
kind"
