Wading on the council was a committee from ing of Kim Golf, Jack Maher, the Business Men's Club consist-Dea- n Ham, Harold Chesler and Eail T. James. They met with the council in relation to the parking situation and to see if more lots or space could be made available for car parking purposes. Sug-gested also as a possible solution to the parking problem was parking meters. The business-men feel that if the parking situ-ation is solved it will benefit lo-cal business. The matter was taken under consideration with no action being taken at Wed-nesday night's meeting. Other business included okeh-in- g for payment miscellaneous bills amounting to $996.27 and a payroll totaling $1,300.00. Audit of the city books for last year has been completed 'by wood, Child, Mann and Smith, auditing firm from Salt Lake City. Melburn M. Coombs, audi-tor, was present at the meeting to go over the audit with council members. LAST LAP 1 s Ilk Ht1 3 je? s"- -. s o -- f f$k School awoIT I INJURIES FATAL TO SHEEPHERDER A Utah sheepherder died Wed-nesday morning shortly after he was brought to a Bingham 'hos-pital from injuries received when he was thrown from and stepped on by his horse in the Oquirrh mountains. The man was identified as Tony Kraitzer, 53, who was em-ployed by Jim Harris, Tooele, and Wilton Fidler, Grantsville, according to Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff Jack Household-er. Mr. Kraitzer told Frank Swain, Joe Susaeta and others who res-cued him from a rnountaintop, ho was thrown from his horse as he started back to camp, and that the horse stopped on him Tuesday afternoon about 5 pjn. Deputy Householder said the man's injuries were called to the attention of the authorities by a camp tender, named Alex who assisted Mr. Kraitzer with the. sheep. The camp tender said Mr. Kraitzer's horse came into camp about 5:10 p.m. Tuesday. He then went in search of the missing man and led by the herder's dog, found him Wednesday morning about 7 a.m. He was about three miles from Bingham City Hall at the top of Sap Gulch on the Salt Lake County side from Pine Canyon in Tooele County. Deputy Householder said Mr. Kraitzer had been seen leaving Bingham Tuesday about 3:30 pm. enroute back to his camp. It is believed he was thrown from the-hors- e shortly after arriving at the spot where he had tied it. He was picked up about 7 a.m. Wed-nesday by Mr. Swain, Mr. Sus- - acta and others who went to the spot in a jeep after being noti-fied by the camp tender of the accident, and brought to the hospital. The Fire Department's resusi-tat- or was applied by Mr. Susaeta but to no avail. The victim died several hours later. The body was taken to Bingham Mortuary. Efforts are being made to locate relatives. .. ' v Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The word I get is that at long last it is on the fire. I mean the Fullmer vs Robinson fight for the middleweight championship. Marv Jenson, Gene's manager, has been in New York since Mon day and has had a number of meetings with Robinson's man-ager and the I.B.C. As I under-stand it, the date has been set for the 7th of September. The site is another thing. They are debating on three cities New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Salt Lake would have been the city, but the uni-versity board of regents took care of that when they said no to the use of the stadium. My guess is that it will be in Los Angeles. Wrigley field is avail-able and it will seat 25,000 peo-ple for a baseball game, for a fight of course a great many more. As to the money no news as yet. I understand the TV rights will bring at least $100,000. If Sugar Ray doesn't get too much. Gene should get a pretty good pay off. As I have said before, this talk of Gene not caring money, just a chance at the championship is foolish. No one has a guarantee that Gene will win. I think he will but Robin-son doesn't. Now if he doesn't 'he will go down the ladder, and he will have to fight for compara-tively small purses while he is earning his second chance. I for one think Gene will draw just as many fans through the turn-stiles as Robinson will and he should be paid accordingly. vAnother good bet for Jenson and Gene is that he take on a real good man in Utah early in August because he should have at least a good tune up and it would give nis thousands of Utah admirers a chance to see him in the flesh. Of course all of these things are still not definitely settled and there is an old saying "there is many a sliD between the cud and the lip." So we will have to wait and hope. I know this is rather early to be talking about bowling,- - but this summer has 'been exception in more ways than one. Bowling is one of them. This summer has seen more people throwing the ball down the lanes than any other summer in Utah's history and I understand it is the same all over the country. The men in the business tell me it is due to a large extent to the TV pro-grams featuring the great bowl-ers. People who never went in-side a bowling house are coming in to take up the game. I know in Bingham the alleys used to be deserted from June until Sep-tember, but notthis year. They are busy every night. Some real good ones coming along in our town.

Last Sunday, the local nine collected 13 hits to defeat Keithi Poulsen, former Bingham pitch-er. Larry Stillman went the route for Bingham, allowing only 9 scattered hits. Ronnie Boren, Cal Crump and Tom Steinke were the hitting stars, with Ronnie driving in three runs with a single and a home run. Crump had a perfect day at the plate with 2 singles, a double and triple. Steinke col-lected 2 doubles in four trips to the plate. Stillman walked only two men, and struck out 7. At Provo the local nine played a much closer game than the score indicated, but could not chase across the runs when needed.

(PLANS UNDERWAY FOR FUND DRIVE Salt Lake area communities will occupy an important place in this fall's United Fund cam-paign, according to Oscar A. Glaeser, chairman of the subur-ban division for the campaign. Mr. Glaeser, vice president and general manager of United States Smelting Refining and Mining Company, has selected Kuno Doerr, Jr., as his Organization work already is well underway, Mr. Glaeser re-ported Wednesday. He also em-phasized the fact that all com-munities of the area will be the beneficiaries as well as donors in the campaign. "Our entire area is growing very rapidly," Mr. Glaeser said. "All of the United Fund agencies are at our service, and in addi-tion four civic funds will receive money from the UF campaign this fall. These are the Bingham Area Activity Fund, Murray Civic Fund, Midvale-Eas- t Mid-val- e United Fund and the Oquirrh District Community Fund." The Oquirrh fund will be par-ticipating for the first time as a UF agency. Mr. Glaeser said that by the end of this week the cam-paign quota will be established. He expected that dates for the campaign will be fixed within the next few days.
