A survey-- ! ing crew is now occupied in running a route for the extension of the forty- thousand volt line from Kenil- worth over to the new camp of the Columbia Steel comny south of Sun. nyside in Horse Canyon. About thirty miles of line will be required. Elec-tri- e power from the company's plants will soon be turning the wheels at all the eoal camps in Carbon county except those of the Utah Fuel eomiany. Building of this new line will require an outlay of about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It further marts the big things that are ahead when the steel company shall be in full swing. This new line traverses a section that is in intimate proximity to the Milner coal lands and others to the north and east of Price, all of which must some day be opened up and which will thus be in a position for power service without special line extensions. - giatakis mill be sentenced Saturday.

Mike Zulakis, also found guilty of the same degree of crime, was given ten vears. On opening the third trial B. W. Dalton, district attorney, while still strenuously resisting the imputations of unfairness made by the defending attorneys against this countys citizens, recognized that owing to the notoriety and publicity which attached to the oases it was becoming more and more difficult to fill a jury panel here, and consented that tne trial of Pagialakis be transferred to Emery county. This was done, and Judge George Christensen held court at Castle Dale through a little more than three weeks to hear the case. The jury as empanelled was composed almost entirely of farmers over there. The case was fought vigorously, and the final verdict was a compromise it is learned the jurors being of varying inclinations, some holding out for first degree murder. Not a single one was at any time for acquitting Pagialakis. Governor Assigns Judge. Further trials of the remaining thirteen defendants who are still in the care of the sheriff will likely be transferred to Salt Lake county. This because of the difficulty of securing a jury in the counties dose at hand, and also because the prolonged session of court necessary in these trials would crowd out the regular business of these counties from their courtrooms. Even at Provo in Utah county the housing facilities would not be sufficient to avoid these conflicts. One of the judges from this district will be assigned by the governor to sit on these trials at Salt Lake City. While the arrangement for this has not as yet been completed, it will undoubtedly be done in this way. -- MADSEN WISES UP KIWANIS CLUB LAST MONDAY lunch- eon, Neil M.

Pete Kukis was 7 S COLORED MAN SHOT AT HELPER DIES ON TRAIN Shot by a mulatto woman late last Friday afternoon Dave Short, colored, is dead. The fracas occurred during a drunken orgy among the negro imputation of Helper, and but little is to be learned of the events just prior to the actual climax. It apjiears that there was a pistol in the hands of Short just before the woman went after a shotgun with which she put a charge through his leg above the knee. Loss of blood left the man in a precarious condition. He was brought down to Winters Hospital at Price later in the evening, and the woman whose name is Nellie Price was taken up by the sheriff and lodged in jail. The officers had been notified very promptly and were on the ground before a could reach the wounded man. Short was started for Salt Lake City on Train No. 1 of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Monday morning, living accompanied by a couple of his friends. When the trip was about half over the injured man died. His body was taken in to Zion, where burial ceremonies were later conducted by the Masonic lodge (colored of which he doc-n- Speaking before the Kiwanis club at its regular Monday evening and from which will come water to irrigate lands lying to the south and east of Price that is to result in the building up of a big agricultural community in Carbon county. Madsen told all this, quoting figures to show costs of the work as a whole, and cited the expense as it would apply to the individual fanner who would use the water. All the data was from the same compilation as used in preparing the story told in The Sun in a previous issue. Madsen went a little further and assured his hearers that work will open on the reservoir as soon as the weather permits, ne also pictuned the lake of water to form behind the big dam as the scene of summer resorts, vacationing cottages with motor boats on the water and all modern conveniences afforded by electricity and the joys of cool canyons in the immediate proximity.

On placing the devices before the magistrate who was to sit on the case it was discovered that one was a pure and simple money machine and neither of the owneri represented by attorneys only would recognize this one as their own, so the Yellowstone folks claim dropped back to fourteen. The thing to be determin ed in this action was whether the ma chines were gambling devices. A claim was set up to establish them as or trade accelvending machines erators.

Under the taw Judge Woolley sat as a magistrate to decide the questions as developed, and following precedents in simitar eases from other states and in accordance with the evidence at hand, he finds One these machines to be guilty. interesting feature is that having so found he, as says the the judge taw must destroy the apparatus. So in due course it will be possible to witness his honor in the act of swinging an axe on these little iron boxes. Another feature is that on owning these machines Kelter found a hundred and eleven dollars in not checks, but in money. This was duly listed and turned over to the new sheriff and is still in Dealing's hands. No action of the court has touched the money, and What is to 'become of it is a mystery not yet disclosed. It was shown during the sitting that three men were required to care fur these machines. A business manager, a mechanic and yet another, whose exact functioning was not exposed. A perusal of one section of the law indicates that the proprietor of the store, the business caretaker or the mechanic connected with the operation of a gambling device are all committing a felony, while the player is let off as having broken the taw with a misdemeanor. No persons were tried in this action, the sole offender before the court being the machines themDil-wor- th Price city council in regular session last Tuesday evctiing a as confronted with a mass of ietiiiong and also listened to some jiersonal talks by eople who live in the eastern portion of the city, the whole drift of which is to the effect that the laying of these necessary conduits was started ahead of the proposition to put iu a white way down Eighth street, and of the plan to pave that thoroughfare this summer iu connection with the surfacing of Main. Inquiry was made as to whether these improvements fur the street extending from the high school down to the new schoolhouse at E were to result in a sidetracking of the Separate petitions are on file for half a dozen neighborhoods on the east side between them taking in about all of the city starting iu with South Seventh and extending to Third. Assurance was given these folks that the eouucil has no intention of playing off one iniirovemeut against another. In fact, the sewer program must almost of necessity be formulated ahead of the laying of pavement on Main up in the section lying between Fifth and Fourth streets, as a big main should run along at that point under the concrete. Owing to the rather rrauiNd state of the city s finances there may lie some difficulty encountered in taking care of the big sewer district which is contemplated to eover all these separate petitions and at the same time provide for the necessary intersections on Main in connection with the federal aid project while yet looking out that the residents on Eighth street get their white way and paving, but that is the program which the council has set up to shoot at. Asks Celebration Concession!. Following up their determination of last year to get in on the Fourth of July celebration, the Campfire Girls are out early this year to secure the concessions from the city for that holiday. A year ago this organization was obliged to content itself with a small refreshment privilege at City Park in connection with the rodeo which as the main celebration was accorded the entire thing, including City Hall fur the evening. These ladies wish to take over the whole matter of the celebration for this year, and promise a American Fourth. Notgenuine withstanding that announcement has already been made of a certain function to come off in the hall for that evening, it was told to the Campfire representatives that no obligation has as yet keen put out by the zuunlcijiality to give up that privilege to anybody. There is a big sentiment in the city governing Imdy to allow the entire run of the park, the baseball grounds and City Hall to whoever shall arrange to put on and finance the celebration. The ladies represented by Miss Cornelia Stevenson and Mrs. J. E. Jamison were assured that they had the first call, and were asked to prepare a skeleton program fur consideration at the council meeting on April 3d. Big Cleanup This Year. Joining with the eity this year in the annual cleanup effort, the local eivie and social clubs will id the statewide movement along this line, and it is likely that a really definite result will be accomplished. Gomer P. Peacock gave a general outline of what is proposed, he having also put the matter before the Rotary club on last Monday night. The real start will be most evident about April 15th, when it is on the program for a big parade headed by the city officials and the band, and at that time an effort will he made to get the streets cleaned up. The American Legion has been given the task of seeing that all houses are freshened np with a new coat of paint. Boy Scouts are to see that ashes, cans and the like are removed.

Another petition, which was passed in after all others had went through strenuous discussion, was from people who live in about a dozen housea just outside the city limits south of E street along about even with Ninth and Tenth. These folks want lighta and water. Just why the municipality should build lines to them they could not ex- plaintive plain, but they did tell story as to how they couldnt use the river water, nor could they quite bear the ditch water even during the time when it waa flowing, and that consequently they were obliged to get water from the city pipes anyway even though it was hauled a considerable distance. Nor was it explained just how this water waa secured from the rity conduits. Lighting waa expected to reach them from an extension of the Ninth street line. The fact that a double rate for water has been established for service ontside the limits seemed to be relied on as an obligation on the part of the eity to cut them in. That there waa also in such rases a connection charge of twenty dollars and a meter installation cost to be met of another fifteen making thirty-fiv- e dollars for each family to pay before service was established-- put a little damjicr on the scheme. And when it was told that these folks would also have to build the lines they rsme hark with an offer to dig the ditch for laying the water pipes. That old practice of letting people so situated put down s waterpine or construct a shoestring line and then take it out in lighta and water has been discovered to lie a boomerang and is in the discard. Wanting the privileges of the municiiialitya utilities they were told to eoine in. The waters fine. Rio Grande Has Paid Up. All the back accounts due for water service to the Denver and Rio Grande Western have lieen jiaid up.

A visit of some of the company us aficials to Irice in the closing days of last week brought about "Something of an understanding on other matters. The crossing over the railroad at the freight depot has been graveled, the arrangement for putting in the lawn on the depot grounds has been fixed up and an arrangement agreeable to both sides seems to be about completed with regard to lighting of the depot and its surrounding Several carloads of cinders are coming in through an arrangement with the railroad. These will be used to fill np bad plaeea in the unjiaved walks about the city. Disposal of Garbage, Disposal of garbage is a problem which growa for the city with each year. Enlargement of the gathering which is now made by private parties for the eatinghousea in the business district is contemplated. Regulation by the municipality has become a necessity, and if there is anyone who wants to take up a concession on this matter let him declare himself. At present it is proposed to cover only the central part of the city. Quite a few housekeeping establishments are now in the buildings on Main street, and the caring for the refuse from apartments which have only a steam radiator and an oil stove or electrie hotplate must lie systematized at least over the fly season. The rity has ordinances on the matter, but no effort has ever been made to carry out the provisions of these measures. A beginning is to be made quickly. Look out for your dog after April 1st as the campaign to kill off all that are not wearing a tag to show payment of the tax will be began at that time. Only a hundred and fifty of these tags are on hand. Reporting on an accounting for the joint use of pole as practiced not so regularly now as in former vears by the city and Eastern Utah Telephone company, that cotqioration showed a statement in which it was told there was due to the eity about a hundred and twenty-fiv- e dollars. The celerity with which this report was accepted shows what will be the fate of anyone wanting to put money into the treasury. There has always been an arrangement through which six months notice was to be given by either side in rase a new plan on this matter was contemplated. The telephone company asked that as the period of the old agreement had expired a renewal of this undertaking be effected. Asking For Sidewalks.
