Il. PFEIFFER IS IDENTIFIED
Former Denver Man Will Inherit
Large Share in Rich Estate
in Germany.

=. +. Kelly returned yesterday from San
Francisco, where he went TO identify his
friend Herman Pfeiffer, who will inherit
q good portion of a large estate in Ger
many when all the legal techncalities
have been settled. Pfeiffer was identified
10 the satisfaction Of the German Onsu
in San Francisco.
Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Pfeiffer were warm
friends in Colorado many years ago. Lat
er Pfeiffer was employed as a city fire
man in Denver and as years passed Mr.
Kelly and PfeiffeT lapsed in correspond
ence Not many months ago Mr.. Kelly
received from an uncle of Pfeiffer in Den
yer an inquiry asking about the young
mans whereabouts. Mr.. Kelly, being
man of wisdom. decided that the most Of
fectiVe means of locating his friend would
be to insert an advertisement in The Her
FOR word was soon forthcoming that
Pfeiffer was In San Francisco. Thither
Mr.. Kelly went.
Pfeiffer is destined to fall heir TO the
larger part, if not all, OF a 100000 subdi-
vision OF estate in Germany. This
subdivision is One-siXth of the entire es-
tate There Will necessarily be much cor
respOndence and a deal of red tape be-
fore the estate is finally settled and
Pfeiffer comes into his own.
Young Pteiffer left Germany not under
a cloud, but because he was prompted by
the spirit that moves a healthy young
fellow who likes 10 roam. StOckraising IN
Colorado appealed TO him, and il was
while engaged in that business that Mr.
Kelly became acquainted with him and
the two became fast friends

QUIGlEY WITH EQUITABLE
Well-known Salt Laker Becomes GEN
eral Agent for Big Life Insurance
Association-0ffices Opened.

FORMAL announcement was made yes
terday of the appointment of c. A Quig-
ley, vice president and general manager
of the Studebaker Bros Company of
Utah, as general agent for Utah and
Southern Idaho of the Equitable Life As
surance Society OF the United States The
appointment of Mr.. Quisley has been an
open secret since the visit here of Paul
Morton. president of the Equitable, some
weeks ago. Al that time Mr.. Morton told
Mr.. Quigley that the Equitable, which has
been out of the Utah field for some time
was DESTROYS of resuming business here
and that he could have the appointment
as general agent.
Mr.. Quigley agreed to accept the place.
but fOrmalities had to be gone through
with, and the definite announcement could
not be made until yesterday. Those who
know Mr.. Quigley say that the combina-
ton between him and the Equitable will
certainly be an irresistible one. There is
no better known or more public spirited
business man in Salt Lake City. He
came here about sixteen years ago and
took charge of the Studebaker business.
Since that time Mr.. Quigley has built
il up. doubling and trebling the sales
and then doubling and trebling them
again. until today the Studebaker COM
pany has no more important branch
house.
Nor will Mr. Quigley relinquish the bus
mess of the Studebakers. He will handle
both that and the Equitable work. The
combination will be a large undertaking.
but he is man accustomed TO large I'M
dertakinSs. That the Equitable will quick
Is assume a commanding position in the
field is believed by all acquainted with
Mr.. Quigley. The Equitable, according to
Mr.. Qugley's friends. is entitled to con-
gratulati0 ns on securing his services
The return of the Equitable to Utah
and Idaho will be of great importance
to this section of the country it is stated
to be the purpose of the association to
loan money here as well as to engage
actively in the business of writing life in
surance. An office has been secured for
headquarters in the Mccormick block
Room 4O6. and there the business will be
transacted, for the present at least.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. ManteI concluded his memorable
engagement at the Salt Lake theatre last
night with a SumptuOus presentation OF
King Richard III. The final audience was
one that packed the theatre from the or
chestra to the roof and listened with
hreathless attention to the Vaccinations
of Shakespeare's arch plotter. 1t was an
audience that was at once a tribute to
Mr.. Mantelfs worth and an assurance
that on any future visits TO Salt Lake
City he need have no fear of playing TO
empty seats. The Mantell Richard was
as diabOlical a scOundrel as ever planned

character was hateful throughout. the
actor was superb. Again, though her part
