The practice period at the high school each day was a scene of frantic study. It appeared that the band was hurriedly preparing for either one function or another. The first band concert was given before the Christmas holidays, scarcely a month after its organization and was pleased with concomments which gratulatory served to add new impetus to its already flaming desire to excel. Worked Thru Summer Word of the new band had sprung from lip to lip, and it was shortly the lot of the band to accept invitations to play at such noteworthy functions as a music so-f- ar festival at Roosevelt and numerous other gatherings, at which it excited more favorable comments. Summer vacation rushed toward the school, but the enthusiasm of the band did not stop and demand i vacation, but demanded, rather, more strenuous work. Unhesitatingly, it plunged into more work, two long hours each day and one concert each week. open-ai- r No one regretted this strenuous work, however, when word was received requesting the band to play at the U. B. I. C. Not wanting to make apologies, the band worked harder and those who heard the band at that time agreed no apologies were necessary. It was no longer an organization playing as novices, but quite finished. Further recognition was afforded in an invitation to play at the Wolf Creek outing, and again no excuses were offered. Band Mothers Due to the organization of a highly-efficieBand Mothers club, a lovely banner was purchased and through the efforts of this organization, more money was raised to help finance the purchase of uniforms which, it is the present hope of everyone, will be accomplished before spring when the band plans to attend the national regional band festival to be held, probably at Pocatello, Idaho. It can only be the sincere plea that every community-minde- d person in Duchesne will refuse to see this venture attended by failure. It is not a recognition to be afforded the high school alone, but to be afforded by every interested citizen of Duchesne. nt DEATH CLOSES CAREER OF FORMER OUTLAW The colorful career of a notorious early-da- y uotlaw who became one of Price's respeetde citizens, closed Wednesday at 6 p. m. when Matt Warner, 74, died at his home in Price of a heart attack. Publicized throughout the nation for his association with the pcituresque Butch Cassidy gang, which plundered its way to inglorious fame and fortune during pioneer days, Mr, Warner claimed to have been the last surviving member of the bandit gang. For more htan 30 years, however, he had been a respected resident of Carbon county, leading in civic activities whenever called upon and answering a call to public service by serving two terms as city marshal and one term as justice of the peace at Carbonville. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Elma Warner and two sons and daughters, Mrs. John Causer, Boyd and Wade Warner of Price and Mrs. Gyla Hyatt of Castle-gate. for a dealer.

Here was the whole towm preparing for Christmas, shopping, spending oodles of money, and he was a penniless, weary wanderer. A lucky dime! A little place around the corner caught his eye. Dan entered, his nostrils quivering under the tantalizing odors. He looked around with greedy eyes, his mouth watering with longing. Soup, roast fowl, potatoes, luscious mince pie!

S. missionary in the Western States mission, died this week, according to word received by the First Presidency of the church from President W. W. Seegmiller. Cause of death was given as appendicitis. , Elder Jones was born October 25, 1917, a son of John Henry and Clementine Jones of Tabiona. He was highly respected by his neighbors and friends In Tabiona as an energetic and zealous woiker. He earned and saved the money to pay his own expenses in the mission field. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. STORY OF UNPAID REWARD CALLED ABSURD Although a story of an unpaid reward for the apprehension of cattle rustlers was disregarded in district court, its publication caused some embarrassment. Leland Stavenson, who plead guilty to cattle theft on November 22nd told Judge Young he thought the cattle he stole be- longed to Wilford McConkie and felt he was entilted to the money from their sale to compensate him for an unpaid reward he had earned. He said Mr. McConkie had offered a reward of $500 to anyone responsible for the arrest of cattle thieves and that he had claimed the reward after leading to the arrest of Harris and Todd, who were later convicted of cattle stealing. McConkie, he said, had paid him only $25.00, Mr. McConkie, in an "interview this week, said none of the story was true. He said he, himself, had never offered any kind of a reward, nor had his association, the He Lake Fork Cattle Growers. said Stevenson had been paid about $11.00, he thought, for expenses and trouble incurred in several trips about the country during the time the rustlers were apprehended. Thomas D, Meriwether, also a member of the association, called the story, as told by Stevenson, absurd because losses by cattle rustling would not amount to $500 in a long time. The La Scinaine Ring la semaine ring is a ring set with seven stones, the name of each commencing with the same letter as the day of the week. These rings were in vogue In France in the Nineteenth century. A District Court Declares Meriwether County Sheriff SOCIETY (Continued from Page One) Tuesday and part of Wednesday morning. Considerable time Tuesconday was devoted to argument cerning the legality of Harper votes. Counsel for Meriwether, Ray E. Dillman, George E. Stewart and Rulon J. Larsen, contended that since by an ordinance published last June, the Harper precinct was abolished, the votes were not legal. They questioned the legality of a minute entry in the commissioners minute book which set up a polling place in Harper and authorized the appointment of election judges. The entry was dated in October, but was not signed by the commissioners. Counsel for Mitchell, W. Stanley Dunford, contended that it was not necessary that the entry be signed since it was not a legal document like an ordinance but merely a recording of the action of the commissioners. Electors Commended Judge Young allowed the Harper votes to saying that it is not the intent of the law to defranchise any qualified elector. The count as made by the counsel before the court totaled 1348 votes for Meriwether and 1343 votes for Mitchell, ten less for each candidate than the commissioners' canvass in November. The votes were lost, one or two in various precincts. On the whole, the count showed practically the same results as those found by the election judges, which was a surprise to both counsel and court, who had expected a good many more errors than were found. The electors of Duchesne county are to be commended, County Clerk Goodrich said, for their intelligence on voting methods, and the counting judges in all cases handled their jobs efficiently, he added. Annual Scout Banquet Held Here Soon (Continued from Page One) V. Billings is in charge of arrange- ments and decorations.

Tickets will be sold within the near future. FORMER RESIDENT OF MYTON DIES IN DENVER . . . Mothers Club Mrs. W. J. Bond entertained the Mothers club last Thursday evening.
