Judge Rives' Life Was Full Of Adventure

Judge Henry Rives. who died in Salt
Lake last week, was at one time rated
one of Utah's brightest lawyers. Before
going to Utah he was for many years
resident Of Nevada and was conspicu.
ous in the legal history Of this State
The early days Of Pioche which made
Judge Rives prominent are recalled in
an account of his life published by the
Salt Lake Herald ON Feb. %, here re-
produced:
The story Of Judge Rives' life is
tiuged with romance. With all the
vivid coloring Of the West when the
West was yet young, the MARI alton OF
his career is brimming with dramatic
incidents-incidents so full Of the wild
and uutamed spirit of the early years
during which they were enacted that
they themselves might FL books.
Judge Rives was born in Missouri.
When the great strife between the
North and South broke out he was but
Is years old. Despite his extreme
youth his heart was with the South.
Shoul lering musket the staunch
little Southerner fought his way
though the War. His record was flaw
less: the din and smoke OF battle had
no fears for this young Confederate.
Judge Rives' father was Colonel in
the Confederate Army and fell IN bat
tie. The brave son was spared, return
ing to his widowed mother when the
War was done.
The South had lost its attractions for
the boy. He longed for activity for
the excitement which the staid South
ern States did not offer. Great stories
of the West reached young Rives' ears,
and SO he came Wesf. He arrived in
Carson City. Nevada. in 1870. Col. A.
G. Ellis, now resident OF Salt Lake,
had law offices in Carson and in these
offices Rives took up the study Of law.
He applied himself diligently and pro-
gressed ripidly.

immense quantities Of rich ore. The
friendliness. existing between the two

rel, which grew bitter rapidly. The
dispute arose over the pumping ex-
penses. The Raymond-Ely manage
ment said the Hermes had passed be-
yond its Boundaries and was removing
ore from the Raymond-Ely ground.
The miners employed by the two
mines fought each other upon slightes,

ensued both above ground aud in the

through the fire and gained fame. The
matter was finally left to a jury for
decision.
Verdict Was Given Away.
The Hermes crowd "fxed it, with a
juror to pass out the result Of the jury's
deliberation ahead of time. IL the YER

crowd" the juror was to fash a
colored silk handkerchief. This was
done and relays OF couriers took the
news to the nearest telegraph office

Sin Francisco. The Hermes clique
