Dividend Miners Engage In Fight, One Is Fined Crus Gomes, a Mexican miner who was arrested late last week and taken to Provo by Deputy Sheriff Coatee, was fined 996 on his appearance la Judge Tucker's court. The charge against Gomes was battery, It being alleged that he used a knife on a fallow countryman. Gomes entered a plea of guilty which perhaps accounts for the light fine, although there were some extenuating circumstances according to his story. Gomes la said to have resented the attentions of another Mexican, Fernando Duran, to his daughter and a fight resulted. Duran - struck Gomes and tho latter defended himself with a knife.

One single property of the Tlntlc District the .Tlntlc Standard paid to Utah county In the same year a tax of 947,011 and the locality la which the Tlntlc Standard and other large mines are located had to fight like ell to get a few loads of gravel.
