.R|vERTO|V RAPIDLY
COMING TO FRONT
Activity of Its Hustling Com.
mercial Club Is a Potent
Factor.

Rivcrton is rapidly coming to the
front rank in Salt Lake county towns.
Much of its activity is due directly to
the character of its Commercial club.
AT recent reorganization Of the club
John Hansen, Jr., was elected president
Of the club. DR.. o. r. Hardy was
chosen first vice president, s. H. How
ard was elected second vice president
and Eugene Miller was named secre-
tary and treasurer, with Seth PlIton as
assistant.
Last month the members of the club
decided that Riverton needed some
sidewalk repairing The club got be-
hind the movement and in the first
four days more than siXty-fve mon and
twenty-five teams turned out to do the
work More than one and one-half
miles of frst-class sidewalk now add TO
the attractiveness OF the town. The
men who gave their time and teams TO
the work did it out OF public spirit and
not a cont was expended on the work.
Concluding that a good ball team
was valuable advertisement for a
community, the Commercial club took
over the ball grounds and the Rivertou
club and will manage them during the
coming season. The club will enter it's
team in the league which is being
formed in the south end of the county.
A brass band will probably be edded
to the clubs projects in the near fu-
ture, also.
In the past the club has installed
electric lights, a water system and did
much TO encourage the construction of
the new interurban road. A flour mill
is being sought for the community
now. The club is communicating with
the Agricultural college regarding the
holding Of a farmers roundup IN
Riverton and one will probably be held
there in the near future.
There is room for mechanics, good
dentist, and Industrious farmers In the
vicinity Of Riverton. There are fine
schools there and poverty is compare
tivcly unknown in the community. The
Commercial club is putting forth a
strenuous effort TO locate more people
there and it is a very desirable place
for a home.

As he fled, Mewhnney caught his

leather was torn off This the police
found and when Mewbinpey and Kirk

Of actual participation in the murder.
Kirkpatrick pleaded guilty 10 robbery

The point on which Mewhinney based
his appeal was that the trial court in

Confessed the Crime.

Mewhinney confessed to the crime
and relied on a plea of temporary in
sanity, said to have been induced by al
excessive use Of drugs. He was con-
vieted and the supreme court affirmed
the judgment. Then, when ne was
about to be sentenced again to death,
his attorneys interposed a motion for
an arrest OF Judgment on the ground
that his constitutional rights had been
abridged. This motion was overruled
and Mewhinney went TO the supreme
court, arguing that by the action of the
trial court in giving certain instruc-
tions TO the jury no had been deprived
OF a real jury trial.
The supreme court rules now that
the law as II was laid down by the
same court q, the first appeal must con-
tinue TO hold sway and Mewhiuney
must die.

There was a row in a saloon at Mari
bel on the evening of September 20th

play" There was evidently an at
tempt to smooth over the affair but
last week, over a month after the affray
James McMurrow, a Northwestern
section foreman residing at Maribel
was arrested charged with assault upon
Murty Driscoll ofCon.n nn''2' w 18th "
tent to do great bodily harm.
The facts are alleged to be that Nc
Murrow resented Driscol's taking fam
iliarities with his person and exposLu-
lated and left. He returned later and
Drscoll continued the annoyance. y
fight ensued during which McMurrow
is alleged to have drawn gun and
fired five shots, two of which hit Dris-
coll and sent him to Green Bay hos
pital for month.
Nc Murrow is out on $400 bail and
the preliminary examination is set for
November 9th in municipal court.
1t is said that the defendant will
plead self-defense and attempt to prove
that he was not the aggressor and that
he was being badly beaten up when he
drew and fired.

In many places, one of which is Cook
County, Illinois the cost of elccting the
county OIL licials is much more than the
salary of all the county officials com
bincd. The election recently in this
county cost IA million dollars, or it cost
about 81, 800 to elect each officer whose
average salary is about $500. Mr..

All the graded schools of the county
have secured "A complete outfit for cook
ing. Most schools took kindly to this
new line of work in the schools. A
Kerosene stove is fine thing for every
school To have. Warm water is needed
for scrubbing the school house every
month. Then there other raasons for
having it in schools besides using it for
the work in cooking. Have you used
the stove thus far? You undoubtedly
had your first lessons already. Did
you send samples to some of the parents
of the children taking the work? Did
you use your cooking lesson for Ian
guage exercise giving the pupils a
change to get up before the school in
opening exercises, or otherwise to
tell how they did it?
