Blood of the state commission at a conference with members of the Carbon commission at Salt Lake City last Friday. This county had an audit made recently in the course of which it developed that certain work had been done by the state and charged to Carbon where it was properly chargeable to Emery, Duchesne and Utah counties. The county sought to clarify the matter and if Possible to seenre a rebate. Blood told the board that under the practice formerly followed work was paid for from state road bonds and for the sake of filing and other conveniences was charged to certain counties. The county, said Blood, was never made to reimburse the state for these expenditures nor was it made to sacrifice its portion of its state road bonds thereby end consequently he holds the error to he of no material aignificawaa- Recalls Murder At Price Few Years Ago A1 C. Ringling, who recently proposed by mail to Miss L W, Jones of Los Angeles, Cala., offering her millions if she accepted and two thousand dollars and an automobile if she refused, was found in the Utah penitentiary last Friday by H. W. Blake, post-offiinspector. Ringling who is serving a life term from Carbon county for murder claimed that he was the son of one of the Ringling Bros., circus men, and that he would inherit great riches upon the death of his "father." Miss Jones turned the proposa over to the postoffice inspector. Ringling was arrested at Caldwell, Ida., in April, 1920, when he confessed to the murder of John Bartholemy, a sheepherder am bartender at Price and who worked for Thomas Fitzgerald at th corner of Main and Tenth street. He was killed in June of 191 during the building of the Utah railway. Ringling came here with the Utah Construction company. When brought back to Utah he denied the crime, declaring he wanted to avoid a "jolt" in the Idaho prison. Bartholemys body was found over south of Price, where It was thrown in a ravine. He was killed with a billiard cue a blow on the back of the head. Ringling will not be prosecuted by the federal authorities, is said no law has been broken. . ce expenses of membership in the stats elesnup organisation were paid from the proceeds of s dance. The Boy Scouts were lauded by Peacock for the help they gave in the fly swatting and elimination work which followed the cleanup. The work of the Womans club in encouraging flower culture and a competition among the young folks on that work was praised. The chamber joined with Gist movement and with the boys and girls gardening clubs and an exhibit waa staged of the products. From that was developed a movement which organised the permanent Price Floral society. Lawns at the depot grounds have been started and will be in good evidence thia year. This is in response to urging from the chamber. The discussion as to employment of a eity manager has gone over until the new eonneil gets settled down in plsee. Peacock outlined future work for the civic affairs eomqiittee by telling how the last years members had it in mind to ask the new eonneil to (Continued On Page Bight) ed with the government ' W. R. Reed, superintendent of the Lion properties at Wattis, made a practical talk on mining, giving his views as to origin nd formation of coal by the "flooding of vegetation from the highlands to the lowlands." The speaker said "the use of eoal was as old as the supply is vast. "There are fifty square miles of it in Utah, said he, "two thousand tons for every man, woman and child ia the United State and only fifty-si- x of 1 per cent of the vast beds has been disturbed.'' Stray Elks of Price are to meet at Notre Dame Hall np on North Eighth street this (Friday) evening to arrange for an entertainment to be given January 26th for members of ths order in Carbon district elsewhere than in this city.
