He came to Utah in 1888, after resd-

He was a tenor singer OF marked abil-

He married popular young lady, and
seemed to have an extremely roseatc
future. But the tempter lay in walt
for Davies, and proved too strong for
the young man.
For some time Davies was deputy iii
tho Office Of the county clerk and had
charge OF the issuance of warrants for
bounty money paid on the hides OF
predatory animals. While so engaged
Davies is said to have become Il party
to the great bounty fraud scheme by
which the state was defrauded Of
something like S21,0O0 tho main frauds
being perpetrated at Salt Lake and
Ogden. The large amounts paid out
in bounties attracted attention, and the
crooked work was soon discovered. The
result was that Davies and others Were
convicted and Davies was sentenced
to ono year in the county jail. The
sentence was begun on Dec. 26. 1905,
and in nine months with good conduct
in his favor he was released. The
young mans spirit was broken. and he
