DOUGHTY DICK WELLS,
SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
Visitor Has Traversed the West and
Alaska and Made Thousands and
Spent Them.

DickWells, soldier of fortune, pros
pector extraordinary and globe~trotter
pleuipotentiary, is in the city. Wells
arrived from the west yesterday and
will spend several. days here. There are
possibly few hooks and corners OF the
western country and Alaska that Wells
has not peered into, but nobody else has
seen them, so it doesn t matter much.
Wells left Salt Lake City ten years
ago and plunged into the maelstrom OF
mining excitement that was then en-
pulfng Nevada, He made several for
tunes quickly and just as quickly lost
them. Then he went to Alaska, where
he made a cleanup of a good many
thousands of dollars and came back TO
the states. The good many thousands
soon melted away and he went back to
Nevada, where he made more money
and spent 1t.
At the present time Wells is working
in new field. He is now located at
Hyko, New, where he says there is a
wonderful gold showing. Hyko is about
eighty FIVE miles northwest of Caliente,
New, and about siXty-fiye miles west
and north OF Phoebe, On the claim that
he is working Wells says that he has
four feet of exceedingly promising ore,
and he expects to accomplish big things
if he can obtain the needed financial as.

POLL TAX CASE NOW
IN DISTRICT COURT
Statutory Provision Allows City
Judge to Certify the
Matter Up,

Under statuary provision aprlica-
BILE to the case at issue, Judge E, a.
Rogers, of the city court, yesterday
certified up to the district court the
case of Salt Lake City against M. Il.
Wilson, in which the constitutionality
of poll tax is TO be tested.
There is a state law that says that
whenever the answer OF the defendant
in city civil court case indicates a
dispute as TO the legality OF city
ordinance In which a tax or fine is
imposed. the lower court can certify
the ease to the district court.
BY this action on the part of the
city judge, the test case will be brought
to an issue much earlier than if it
were fought out in the lower court first
and then appealed by the losing party.
Arrangements are being made to have
the case heard i'll the district court rs
soon as possible. Whichever way the
district district court sides, an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme court, as the
purpose of the suit is 10 settle def
nltely the legality of the poll tax.
NJ. +, Wilson, local attorney, is
the naln figure in the contest. He
deted the city to collect the tax and
invited legal battle. The city com.
mission directed the law department
to proceed with the ease and carry it
TO the highest tribunal.
should the Supreme court rule the
tax unconstitutional the city will have
to abandon all attempts to collect it
from any one hereafter
