.RIEPE ACCUSES
WALKER OF DECEIT
He Alleges That Former District
Attorney Misrepresented Facts
In Serving Notice of Sale

In petition filed with Judge Brown
of the District Court, yesterday, ask
ing that the sale of a one-third interest
in the property at the southwest corner
of Murry and Aultman streets be set
aside. Richard A. Riepe accuses Charles
A. Walker, former district attorney, of
intent to deceive.
A third interest in the corner property
is claimed for the three children of
Henry Riepe, who died about ten years
ago. These children are Louise M,
Anna c., and Carrie c. Riepe. Their
mother, Mrs. Hannah Riepe, is now
Mrs. John Magnuson.
Richard A Riepe disputes the chill
dren's claim to the property. He al
leges that when Attorney Walker, a
few months ago, served notice Of sale
upon him in behalf of the children, the
lawyer represented to him that the
notice related to certain mining
claims.
The sale would have been confirmed
by the District Court at this term but
for this turn to the ease The mattl
will now go over to the May term.
Mr. Walker is now in Salt Lake.
When seen last night, his law partner,
Mr.. Foreman, said ut is true that
Riepe has made the charge and it was

SHAH OF PERSIA
PASSES AWAY
Eastern POtentate Whose Table
Manners Shocked Queen Vic.
tOFia Dies Among Wives
SPECIAL. TO TIE News

SPECIAL To HE N ENS
Teheran. Jan. Europe re-
ceived a shock today in the an
nouncement Of the death of the
Shah OF Persia, who passed away
during the night surrounded by
his many wives.
The Shah's death comes at a
time when European govern
ments are engaged in Il struggle
to strengthen their positions in
Persia.
The struggle is due to the geo
graphical position of Persia as a
buffer between the British pos
sessions of Ihdla and RussiaSs
southern possessions stretching
toward the Persian Gulf. Still
another international factor has
recently been introduced by
Germany's commercial and rail
way activity along the seacoast
of Persia.
The Shah formerly was re-
cluse from Western Civilization
but in late years he developed
wonderfully. On his first visit
to Englond a State dinner was
given in honor of the Shah by
the late Queen Victoria, who
brought out her most precious
china for the occasion. To the
astonishment of the hostess, the
Shah, after each course, threw
the empty dishes under the table.
Later, however, the Persian
ruler acquired highly polished
manners, equipped his palace
with telephones, took to auto
mobiles and garbed his numer-
Gus wives in Partisan costumes.
He learned something also of
diplomacy and his shrewdness
several times saved Persia from
vassalage.

Sunday last this section of the country
was visited by the heaviest rain storm
and also the highest food ever known,
seen or heard tell of for years. For one
hour and twenty minutes, the rain
poured down and it was impossible to
see a large building two rods away.
The food of water followed and took
nearly everything in its path includ-
iDg-trees, bridges, crops and good
farm land soil. Along the creek banks
occurred the worst land slides ever
known. In some places rocks large
and small washed from the top of hills
into the valley and lay piled in heap
in the public highway, making it almost
impossible for teams to pass. Valley
land was so badly washed and dug out,
that it is terrible sight to witness.
Fences were almost completely swept
away The damage done in this sec
ton, probably never will be correctly
estimated but it will run into thousands
of dollars. There were no buildings
destroyed or live Stock killed or lives
lost in this section, so | suppose we
have reasons to be thankful, although
our loss is quite heavy in damage to
land, crops ind fences.

HAVOC WITH A VENGEANCE.

Vernon county appears to have been
the storm center for a devastating cul-
mination of the elements, which came
Sunday last, that is deplorable. 1t is
true that loss of life was averted ex-
cept in one case, and accidents of a
serious nature are not reported, yet the
loss that falls on our citizens is very
great and doubly felt when we con-
slider that the time of harvest is here
and everything promised well. No part
of the county appears to have escaped
the ravages of wind and water. and
the loss falls on all classes. In dollars
and cents no human car place anything
approaching fair Judgment. If the
CENSOR were to place it at minimum
figure it would say half-million,
While it may not be said that there are
any homeless, scores of homes are
sadly wrecked, the hard earnings of
years wasted by the elements.
AS people we should be thankful
that no more than one human life is
sacrificed and no reported permanent
accidents recorded.
