Few there are who, in the brief span
Of life allotted, are called upon to endure
more of trial and suffering than William
Smith. Wednesday Smiths tribulations
on earth ended when he was drowned in
a reservoir at Lark. Yesterday his body
was laid at rest in Mount Olivet ceme-
terry.
Billy" Smith was born twenty-five
years go at IronwoOd. Mich. When he
was u years of age his father died; when
he was IA his mother died. Six years ago
the young man came to Utah He was
active and industrious and was endowed
with a generous soul and q frank and
open heart He secured work in one of
the mines at Mercur. Not long after the
day of his employment he suffered
broken leg and was patient in a hospi-
tai for many days.
Upon his recovery he went to work in
the Dalton mine at Lark. One day there
was cavern and Smial lay for twelve
hours under an immense weight Of rock.
He was severely injured.
Once more he Tegained the use of his
muscles and secured work again at Mer-
cur But the evil luck that was in puT-
suit of him soon manifested itself, and
Smith sustained a broken wrist. No soon
er was this mended than, one evening, he
was severely injured by contact with
broken glass. He was terribly cut by the

BOWMAN APPLIES
UNWRITTEN LAW
Man Admits Attacking
ViOIatOr of His Home and
Is Discharged.

I'm guilty, your honor but did only
what you or anyone else would have
done. This man broke up my home, and
I felt was doing right by whipping him.
Ny own neighbOrs said the same"
In a Quavering voice Charles Tyler, an
elderly man, in police court yesterday
told briefly of the domestic tragedy in his
home and his reason for assaulting the
man who had played the principal part
in It,
He was Eph Twitchell, whom he be-
lieved to be his friend until Twitchells
perfidy was revealed, and then the two
engaged in a fight. Tyler, many years
older, used a club, striking Twitchell
several times, according to the complaint.
Il stood it as long as 1 could" con-
tinued Tyler, as he stood before Judge
Bowman, land one morning when I was
leaving the house to go to work he ap-
peared. I could not restrain myself and
assailed him. 1 beat him over the head
with a club After that both he and my
wife disappeared, and I've never seen
either of them since"
The court interrupted the prisoner. and
without further Interrogation, discharged

AUSTRIAN IS THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED

Tony Nichovich, an Austrian. IS years
old, who for seven years has been en-
ployed at the Bingham shelters, is
thought to have lost his life in Jordan
river. Deputy Sheriffs Butler, Bush and
Hinton spent several hours yesterday
afternoon dragging the stream with Crap
ping hooks. but were unable to get any
trace of the missing man.
After finishing his dinner Friday even
ing the Austrian told friends he intended

seen last about 800 yards south Of Win
chester bridge. Failing to return home a.
a late hour. friends went to the river and
started to search for him. They were
unable to get any trace, and later,
alarmed over his prolonged absence, they
reported the incident TO Sheriff Sharp
1t is said that his clothes were found
en- the bank near the spot where he was
last seen, though the searching party
was unable to verify this report
In the event the Austrian does not turn
up today. the search viii be resumed by

RELENTLESS FATE PURSUES YOUTH
UNTIL WATERS CLOSE OVER HIM

sharp fragments. and it required months
for the wounds to heal.
A little more than year ago smith
made up his mind to leave Utah, in the
hope of leaving his misfOrtunes behind
him. Thus concluding, he went TO Mo
renci, Ariz., where he went to work in
one of the mines. Barely more than a
dozen shifts had ne put in when drill
fell from the surface directly upon his
shoulder. The steel entered to a depth
of six inches or more. Though badly
wounded, Smith made his way to the
main line - the Southern Pacific, and
in the course Of time arrived in Salt
Lake. Another accident put him in the
hospital after his return from Arizona.
A few weeks ago he went to work once
more I'm the Dalton mine at Lark. Three
days ago he went to the reservoir near
the workings for the purpose of taking a
bath. He lost his life in the pond.
Reading these things, some will be in
clined to say that an uncOmpromising
fate set its foot upon the track of William
Smith on the day of his birth, and ceased
not Telentlessiy TO pursue him until the
merciful waters closed above him.
The funeral services yesterday were
conducted by the Rev. P A. Simpkin
who spoke with feeling of the ill-starred
career Of this young man, whose brave
spirit remained undaunted in the face Of
overwhelming adversely.

miles north of Brigham City
II am surprised ana exultant ever the
tremendous success that our scheme for

the demand that the people Of Utah have
for small tracts of fruit land and for
market gardening The Honeyviile Or
Chard company conceived the scheme of
subdividing the I60-aCTe orchard some
time ago and the tract was cut I'd into
five-acre and ten-acre tracts and placed
on the market last Monday Already

acre tract has 800 apple trees. three wears

GREEKS BLED BY
PADRONE SYSTEM
Interpreters ConSpire With
FOremen to Effort Money
From Their Countrymen.

n. P. StathakOs, president Of the Greek
community of Utah, who is interested in
all matters tending toward the betterment
of the conditions of his countrymen, is
opposed to the appellation of Greek
town" as often applied to the vicinity
of Second South and Fourth and Firth
West streets 1t implies that the Greeks
are COlOniZing. which, he asserts. is not
true. While in that vicinity there are a
number of Greek establishments, he says
that the greater number of Greeks who
are conducting places Of business are
scattered about the city. The Greeks,
he says, are not so well understood as
he would desire. They are more inclined
to become Americanized than is generally
believed.
Mr. StathakOs is incensed about the
padrOne system, which he says is becOm-
ing more and more oppressive in this
section, and especially in this city. Here,
he says there are a number of corpora
tons which employ many labOrers. who
are openly COuntendnCing the padTOne
system and encouraging II. A number
of the Greek interpreters make COnsid-
cradle money from their countrvmen by
extOrtinS certain parts of their wages
regularly-usually 81 per month, These
men make deals with fOremen Of cOntrac-
tors on large jobs, usually getting from
the labOTers $ for securing work and
hire them, then collect a stated sum per
month while the job lasts.
These men have 10 financial RESPONSE
bIhty, maintain no offices and do not
even take out a city license. Mr. Statha-
kos hopes to have legal proceedings
brought against these men If there is
any way of reaching them in the courts
Mr.. Stathakos also wished to explain
the position IN which a number Of Greek
laborers had been placed by reason of
being hired to take the places Of strikers.
Mr. Stathakos said the Greeks are not
str1kebreakers, and when they are en-
gagged in this capacity it is because thew
DO not understand the controversy. MIR
StathakOs says this is another Instance
IN which they are imposed upon bv
greedy interpreters.

SPIRIT OF rs GETS AN EARLY START
In MAKING NOISY DEMONSTRATION

The Spirit of '76' began TO manifest it
self in Salt Lake long before midnight
last night, and during the early hours
of the evening could be heard the explo-
sions Of the cannon crackers and the
whiz of the niger chasers. The late
morning maps Of many weary citizens
were rudely disturbed this morning.
That the city will have no official cele-
bratiOn, that the sane, thinking people
have spoken for nOiseless Fourth where
firecrackeTs and toy pistols will take
back seat has evidently not been ap-
proved by the patriotic small boy He
insists on his traditional rights-the right
to be heard and seen and felt. and he has
gone about it in the same old way. He
started in just as early, and while the
fact that the real Fourth falls on Sun
day may tend to subdue his spirits some
what today, tomorrow he will be at il
with increased vigOr.
While no official celebration for to
morrow has been planned. there are
number of affairs arranged which will

HAS A SUGGESTION FOR
PUBLIC PLAYGROUND
Frank B. Stephens Knows of Site
Which He Thinks Is Adapted
to the Purpose.

suggestion for public playground
comes to the city council from Frank B.
Stephens. Mr.. Stephens writes that the
city owns a tract of land in block 50
plat +. which would be admirably suited
for such a purpose. It is il extent eight
by thirty rods, fronting on Second South
street, and four by ten rods fronting on
First South street north and south of
Bueno avenue.
Mr.. Stephens asks that this property
be dedicated for a public playground. It
is, he says, useless and of little value for
any other purpose, and is so diversified
that il would take very little expenditure
to make il very attractive. He refers
to the general movement among modern
cities in favor Of such Fairgrounds. and
the great benefits in thus keeping chill
dren off the streets and giving them OPP
pOTtunity for recreation.
Mr. Stephens asks that his letter be t.
ferred to a COMMITTEES. and SAYS that he
will be glad to appear with others before
such COMMITTEES and discuss the propo-
sition.
