LED A ROMANTIC LIFE.
Half-Breed Son of Mormon Bishop
Murdered In Wyoming.

George Terry, head Of the Shoshone
Indian council, was murdered Thurs
day evening as he came out Of the
council lodge on the Indian reserva-
ton near Lander, Wyo., says the Salt
Lake Herald. He was first knocked
down with war club and his body
then cut to pieces with knives. The
murder is supposed to be the outcome
of family feud. No arrests have been
made, but suspicion points strongly to
several Indians.
Terry's death brings to light again
romantic story of the pioneer days
In Utah. He was born February /,
1859, and was the half-breed son of
the famous Mormon bishop, Joshua
Terry, Of Draper, who married an
Indian woman.
The Indian blood in his veins dom
mated the white and rs years ago he
went to live among his mothers peo-
pie. He was a typical "squaw man.
and married a half-breed woman, by
whom he had 10 children. He is sur
yived by a wife and one child.
While among the Indians Terry al
ways remained faithful to the Nor
mon church and was given life mis-
sion to teach among them by Presi-
dent John Taylor.

SEEKS IMMIGRANTS IN JAPAN.
Chile Would Colonize the Mikado's
Surplus People.

Vice-Consul General E. G. Babbitt
of Yokohama, learns from Japan
ese newspaper that a business man
from Chile is now in Japan to exploit
Chilean nitrates, promote CONNER
cial intercourse between the two coun-
tries, and as the representative Of the
Santiago government to encourage
Japanese emigration to Chile.
The Chilean government offers con-
siderable inducements to agricultural
and fishing emigrants. Forty acres
of rich land are given outright to
each settler; 20 more to each son IS
years of age or more; yoke Of oxen,
set of farm implements, and SIS a
month in cash for the first year.
This would seem to be sufficient
inducement to the Japanese farmer
to leave his little farm Of something
less than an acre, and go to Chile;
while a practical monopoly Of the en-
tire fishing industry of a country hav-
ing 5000 miles of coast abounding In
splendid fish. but practically without
a fishing class, would seem to hold
out sufficient bait to people versed
in sea fishing and shell-flsh cultiva-
ton.

For Lower License Fees.

State Insurance Commissioner b. f.
Grouse has submitted his annual report to the
Governor. He deals with general insurance
conditions is the State and suggests some
legislation.
Among the most important of his sugges-
tons is the following
There has been considerable complaint
for some time on account of the large fees
for licenses prescribed by our laws to be paid
by companies from other States doing bust
ness here, and | therefore suggest that it
would be we'll if our legislature should reduce
them at its next session. The license fees
charged here are larger than those charged in
other States, and serve to keep out many com
panies that otherwise would do business here,
if it were not for these excessive fees. Owing
to the retalatory laws in force in nearly all
the States companies incorporated here when
applying for licenses to transact business in
other States are required to pay the same high
rates of licenses, and this has initiated against
the formation aud incorporation of companies
in this State.
within the last year company was form.
ed in Baltimore, but, owing to our present
system of taxation, it was Incorporated in
another State. believe that if the reduction
were made in this line it would encourage the
formation of other companies in this State and
would open the door wider to those of other
States who desire to locate here, and in the
end would not cause a reduction of revenue,
as the difference would be made up by in
crease of business and the taxes which would
be paid upon this increase"
