RICH FAMILY ROW
AIRED IN POLICE COURT
Similarity in Initials of Half
Brothers Causes Many Com
plicatiOns to Arise.

| Ernest E. Rich was found guilty in
Police court Tuesday of assault on his
| half brother, E. II. Rich, and Judge
Diehl will pronounce sentence tomor-
row. Ernest is also accused of striking
Rodney Olsen, an employee of E. H..
Rich at tho same time that the above
| assault is said TO have been committed.
but his trial on this charge has been
postponed, The trial of Edgar E.,
Rich. who was made correspondent with
his brother, Ernest F.. Rich, was held at
the same time yesterday, causing slight
confusion on account of the similarity
IN the defendants surnames. The case
of Edgar E. Rich was continued until
Thursday for decision. Eddie E. Rich,
who, with Ernest Z. Rich and Edgar E.
Rich. was accused of assault on Z. H.
Rich. was found not guilty and was dis.
charged from custody
Although some of the parties to the
case did not acknowledge relationship
to the other parties in the litigation, it
appears that the three defendants are
half"brothers of the complaining wit
ness. Their intercourse recently. If not
for considerable time. has been rather
strained and according to the testimony
submitted in the trial yesterday, when
Ernest e. Rich and his brother, Edgar
E. Rich, returned home from their daily
work one evening several weeks ago, E.
n. Rich, the half-brother, stepped from
the door of the house and called then,
vile names The witnesses testified that
Ernest E. Rich struck his half brother,
r. II. Rich. in the face, after which
the latter took refuge in store near
the Rich home.
The evidence as to what followed was
conflicting, as some Of the witnesses
asserted that Edgar z. Rich and his
brother, Eddie E., followed z. II. Rich
into the store and maltreated him,
while others testified that only Edgar
r.. entered the store But the witnesses
seemed to be generally agreed that Ed
gar r., Rich entered the store and that
when E. II. Rich emerged after the en-
counter he fell into the hands of Ernest
Il. Rich, and whether the latter was
found guilty because of what ensued
or on account of the alleged preceding
attack, was not made apparent by the
decision of the court.
When taken into considera ton with
the fact that among the witnesses who
were called to testify were many whose
INITIALS were L. E., it is evident that
the trial was extraordinarily perplexinp
and that it was difficult TO keep the
complaining witness distinct from the
defendants. However, as luck would
nave 1T, there were no twins in the liti-
cation, and tins prevented further con.
fusion. Kidney Olsen. the plaintiff in
another case against Ernest f. Rich. al,
Ieges that while he was coming TO the
rescue OF his employer he was struck by
Ernest E. Rich, his employers assail-
ant. The case will be tried tomorrow.

SETTLERS ON U|NTAH
RESERVE OUT OF MONEY
Endure Many Hardships, as
They Are Practically
Without Funds.

Shawl j. Kelly, formerly of Salt
Lake. who was the winner of the
| twenty.ninth claim on the Uintsh
reservation, came into town Tuesday
with a string of 100 reservation horses,
which he intends selling on the market.
Mr.. Kelly is enthusiastic over the
prospects for the future on the reser-
walton. He claims that il the Moffat
road comes through there will be
city grow up there which will be one
Of the leading cities of the State.
Mr.. Kelly had in his possession Tues
day evening tho papers from the Office
of the State Engineer for his water
rights from the Duchesne river. Speak
ing of the water question on the
reservation. he said that there is
plenty Of water for all of the settlers.
Along the bottoms water is now OBJ
tained without any difficulty. and on
the benches IL is only question of
completing the work IF digging the
canals. One project now under con-
sidera ton provides for the construc-
tion of g canal which will water about
10000 acres of land. The cost OF the
canal will be about $4,000.
Some Of the incidents related by Mr.,
Kelly in regard to the hardshlps that
are being borne by the settlers are
almost beyond belief. He says that
they "are the worst busted lot of
people ever gathered within fifty
square miles Scarcely any of them
have any money.
GLOW do they exist7' 80 was asked Of
Mr.. Kelly. he explained that one
man, A. NJ Murdock of Heber City,
has gone to the town Of Theodore, on
the reservation, and established a mer
camille business. Mr.. MurdoclS is o
wealthy man. He has faith in the
future of the reservation, and is ex-
tending credit 10 the settlers almost
without question. Mr. Kelly states that
credit to the extent Of between S35. 900
and $4,000. and will continue to do so
until the settlers have some return on
their first crops. He is taking ter
ribly long chance, as the settlers
have absolutely nothing 10 offer in the
way of security.
The food Of the average settler con-
sists of beans. sow-belly and biscuits.
Oats arc selling at Theodore at SO a
in hauling the produce from
Heber City. and Mr.. Kelly says is
stock of merchandise that
would take the breath away from some
Of the Salt Lake merchants.
Many of the settlers, Mr., Kelly
states, have made no attempt as yet
to put in any crops, and have merely
spent their time in erecting their
louses and barns, Many of the houses
ire being constructed of the stone that
s to be found on the reservation. De"
settlers have become discouraged. and |
he great majority are determined to
tick it out and prove up on their
.laims

The case was appealed from Millard

SAVAGE ATTACK ON
GREATEST INDUSTRY

Greater Salt Lake has no
more relentless foe than the Off
cial organ of Joseph F. Smith.
smith hates the mines, and he
hates the smelters, because
: these industries do not contrib
ute to the gratifying of his
greed. Here is how the Deseret
: News attacked the smelters on
: October 8, 1904:
: ''The people Of Salt Lake
City are waking up to the real
: ization Of the trouble OF which
our cousins out In the country
are complaining
"The fact is, this smelter
smoke Will have to go; there Is
no mistake about that. If the
smelters cannot consume II
THEY WILL HAVE TO
CLOSE UP"
If the companies that con-
troll those works will not or
cannot dispose Of the poisonous
metallic fumes that pour out of
their smoke stacks, THE FIRES
WILL HAVE TO BE BANKED
AND THE NUISANCE SUP.
PRESSED
I'VE join with those of our
citizens who intend that this
beautiful part of our lovely
State shall not be laid waste.
even If the only cure is the
SUPPRESSION OF THE DE-
STROYING CAUSE. This NAV
as well be understood first as
last. Unless practical measures
are adopted to abate the evil,
active proceedings will have to
be taken and pushed to the ut
most, TO REMOVE ENTIRE
LY THE ROOT AND BRANCH
AND TRUNK AND BODY OF
THIS TREE OF DESTRUC.

Do the people of Salt Lake
City endorse this destructive
advice? Do Salt Lakers approve
of the wholesale demand Of the
organ OF Joseph T. Smith that
