MENT-oLD SOLDIERS

MORGANTOWN, Dec. 2O.-Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue William E.
Glasscock has prepared a petition to
District Attorney Reese Blizzard on
behalf of William Shriver, of Monon.
gala county. who was indicted by the
federal grand jury for sending a dun
through the mails on a postal card.
Mr.. Shriver is summoned to appear
before the Federal Court in January
to answer the indictments and has
given bond for his appearance. Tie
petition asks that the Indictment be
nolled, or that it be not prosecuted.
The reasons for the request are set
forth
1t is stated that the said William
Shriver was soldier in the Union
army during the Civil war and served
throughout the struggle with distinc
ton. He was captured and thrown
into prison, being held both at An
dersonville ana Libby. When he was
finally released, he was broken in
health and mind, and although he has
recovered his physical strength to
some extent, he is child mentally
and perfectly harmless.
1t is further represented that after
the war, Shriver went into business
with one Riley Hoffman, upon whose
statement the Indictment was found
After the dissolution of the partner
ship, It is alleged that Hoffman was
well.to.do and that Shriver has moth
ing, though he owned a good farm in
this county before he went into bust
ness. He has believed ever since that
Hoffman owes him money and for this
reason wrote the postal card.
The petition has been signed by the
members of the County Court the

thinking me some sort Of bait, attempt.
ed to take his share, and the way he
did chew me wasn't small, tell
you"
The boys declare there is nothing
like fishing, IL it is sometimes tiresome.
The seven hearty fishermen also took
trip to Three Rivers, and the first
thing that met their gaze was a mon
strous salmon making its way down the
rifles, and then the fun began, the
whole hilarious gang went after Mr..
Salmon, and they didn't do a thing to
him, because he was too smart for them
and got away, and when last seen
the big fish was going down stream
like streak of chained lightning, a
creased pig, a scared coyote or a wire
less message.
There was only one accident oe'
Cured during the whole time they were
out. and that caused no end of fun,
except to the unfortunate victim, who
happened to be George Brown. George
is an expert with the rod and line, but
not so sure footed as might be ex'
peeted Of really good fisherman, and
it happened while Brown was standing
on a projecting rock out over the
stream. From some unknown cause he
lost his footing, one foot went up and
the other northeast, and, amid
shouts and blue smoke, George went
sliding and slipping into the water,
which, as luck would have it, was
very well. The boys have great sport
now commenting on the artistic man
ner in which George "bumps the
bumps" "

North Yakima, Washington, early on
Wednesday last, after an illness OF
four days. Pneumonia was the disease
and it progressed very rapidly. His
condition was said to be dangerous
from the start, and from the outset
there was hardly any hope. His sister,
Mrs. Eskridge, of Seattle, was with
the young man when the end came,
while his father, who had been mott
fled of the serious circumstances, was
on his way. ...
Mr.. Keith will bring the remains to
this city for interment. ..t
Charlie Keith was fine young man.
He was born in Virginia City, Nevada,
December %, 1876, but spent his boy
hood days in Park City, where he at
tended the public schools. He after
ward attended the Agricultural college
at Logan and was a graduate of that
institution. Later he took a CONNER
cial course at Boston. He was active
ly engaged with his father in bust
mes and superintendent the erection OF
the Keith building on Main street.
Some time ago he purchased a valu-
able ranch near North Yakima and
was making a great success when
stricken down with Illness. In add.
ton to his business talents, he was a
young man who naturally made many
friends and there are numbers of them
in this city and elsewhere who will sin
cerely mourn him.

FAKE FISH PICTURES.

Just as soon as the members of the
Commercial club and other visitors to
Los Angeles get settled, we expect to
see a large number of photographs,
of numerous Salt Lakers stand
ing beside Jewish, sea bass
or other majestic specimen Of
the finny tribe, alleged to have
been caught while off on the visit. An
enterprising Los Angeles photographer
has a studio especially fitted up for
tourists who desire to astonish their
friends at home. He has papier ma
che fish, foot longer than the aver
age man, hanging up against back
ground showing the bay, with a trout
rod standing alongside, by which the
fisherman CD stands while the artist
presses the button. The result is as
founding. 1t really looks as If the
party had captured a huge fish and
was being photographed at the shore
soon after landing the same.
Truth learns that Fisher Harris
slipped down one afternoon and had
his photograph taken; that soon after
Ed O,Donnell slipped into the gallery
and came out looking happy; that i'm
mediately following him Palmer, OF
the Herald, entered and that during
the course of the afternoon q dozen
Salt Lakers paid visit to the camera
man.
What a jolly joke it VIII be when
those fellows begin showing their pic
trues. What a monotony of scenery
there will be and what a number of
fish of uniform size will be exhibited
in the developed and retouched cabi-
net sizes that will arrive here as soon
as the busy man down in the City OF
the Angels gets through with his chem
icals. 1t will be something to remem-
Der; something to talk about. Really
it is almost too bad to give the snap
away, but business is business.

DEATH OF MRS. CAROLINE SToD.
DARD.

In the death of Mrs Caroline Stod-
dard which took place suddenly at
Milford, about a week ago, the state
lost one of it's best known and most
estimable women. Mrs. Stoddard was
real pioneer, coming to Utah in
July, 1S47, with one of the very ear
lest bands. She was the wife of AL
vim M. Stoddard and resided in
Beaver county for the past 80 years.
By her neighbors and friends not only
in her own county, but in Salt Lake
and other parts of the state she was
held in high esteem and love. Her
gentle and amiable nature made her
a general favorite and she bore her 70
years with honor to herself, her fam
lily and the community in which she
dwelt. She was the mother of five
daughters, all of whom married good
men who have made their mark in the
business world and affairs of this and
other states. The daughters are now
Mrs. J. F. Grant of Salt Lake, Mrs.
George A. Snow of Chicago, Mrs.
James Fennemore of San Diego, Cal,
Mrs. Leonard Rice of Parker, Idaho,
and Mrs. M. L. Stoddard of Cardston,
Canada. Her husband, who is 80 years
of age, survives her. The funeral took
place at Milford, and was largely at
tended by members of the family and
sorrowing friends. A good woman
has gone to her rest, leaving a sweet
and fragrant memory to hosts of
friends and acquaintances.
