Show Saturday, July 15, 2000 The Park Record A-15 rom Time to Time Before DNA testing, there were thumbprints Compiled by Kat James OF THE RECORD STAFF 100 Years Ago No two thumbs alike It is not alone on questions of Ii.iikIw ntinc that handwriting experts are called upon to testily. Thumb impressions, around which Mark Twain in "Puddin'head Wilson" built his ingenious story, have sometimes formed the basis of ery convincing testimony. lonan Doyle said that Canalhos deductions deduc-tions in the case of the robbery of $2.(HK) from a package of the American Exptess Company, for nicety of reasoning and extraordinary extraordi-nary coincidence, eclipsed anything anyone ever dared put into fiction. In lNlM. Avi Guy Ciurney was tried on the charge of stealing a large sum of money from the express company. It was proved that Ciutney had opened the safe where the package had been placed, taken it out and deposited it in Another safe. It was found that a large sum was missing. The evidence was purely circumstantial. circum-stantial. 1 be envelope containing the money bote upon it. however, a thumb impression. Mr. Can a 1 ho testified that the impression on the envelope and several impressions of (iurneys thumb corresponded exactly and contended that there were no two thumbs in the world alike. But such evidence was too subtle for the rural jurv which tried the ease, and the prisoner was acquitted. It is to be recorded as a tribute to the accuracy of Canalhos testimony testimo-ny that (iurnev soon after confessed. con-fessed.

Samuel Groff. an employee of the Standard Laundry in Salt Lake, died Wednesday at Holy Cross Hospital. He is said to have buried a sum of money on his place and died w ithoul rev ealing its vv hereabouts. The auditor of the War Department this week allowed items of S-P2.I0 and S5-I.M2 on account of I t ah war claims. Jennie JY Stover of Logan was also allowed a w idow s pension, under tlwpevLtl ict of JUrtt 06. of Si:. ;.- 'i Deeds conveying loo acres of land in Murray were tiled for record in Salt Lake last week. This land is for the new smelter site, which is to cost $1.000.(X). The total amount of consideration for the land was $27,975. 50 Years Ago The Korean crisis History offers a pattern that might be a guide in the U.S. policy of aiding South Korea in its war against the Russian North Korea advance. Taking a more recent case. Hitler's aggression, we find he was Uxi weak to wage an all-out war but he probed the soft spots along democratic fronts, using them as a test to see how far he could go. There was the Rhineland. Sudctenland. Austria, and the remainder of Czech Slovakia. He advanced upon Poland, but there found resistance. France and Britain decided to give battle, but by this time Hitler had gained so in fighting power that he was ready for a general war. This is typical of the pattern Russia has followed. If they were prepared for a general war they wouldn't have picked Korea as their target, but one of the vital, key cities in America. We de-sire peace, pray for it. but can we atforJ to assume a peace-foHhe-moment attitude? We did not want World War II. It cost us a long, hard tight for a not-certair. not-certair. victory, whereas if we had put a stop to Hitler's charging earlier, earli-er, the battle would have been shorter and less bloody. Remember that when Hitler's troops went into the Rhineland his generals had secret orders to retreat if France intervened. Any decision this country makes is a risk whether it is better to hold onto our peace and do nothing about Russia, or take action and run the chance ot assuring peace. We are giving Korea aid to a certain point But. we are going to have to face the question whether to go all the w a. ev en to sending in troops to stop Russia. It is a terrible decision, but war is terrible in all its phases. No man w ants to make a decision, but history shows us that a decision must be made, sooner or later. History pages are ledger sheets of trial and error, cheeks and balances, elebits and credits. 25 Years Ago, . 'Hello. S'm Bobby Riggs,' and it really was him "Boy. they sure make pretty girls out here in I'tah." vud a short ecn- ileman about middle age with auburn hair and glasses, who was causine a lot of excitement at the U.S. Ski Teams Park City headquarters head-quarters Tuesday. The gentleman, w ho arrived late in the afternoon, began immediately immediate-ly planting kisses of endearment on the cheeks of a doen or so swooning swoon-ing females and saying "hello. I'm bobby Riggs." The little giant of the sports world came into town with his old friend. Dick Moody, mainly to see Park City and to drum up a little business for the Ski Team. Dick Moody was associated with Riggs when he supervised the tennis star's training for his world shattering match against Billy Jean King. Moody is currently properties director direc-tor for the U.S. Team. Riggs' whirlwind Park City lour will include a round a golf, a tennis match with Dick Moody, and dinner with Hank Tauber and Harold Schonhauer of the U.S. Team and Rob Morris of Gump and Avers Real Estate, w ho is a region director of the U.S. Team in Salt Lake. Mr. Riggs' most pressing future athletic engagement will occur Oct. I. when he will play Andrea Martin in Montreal. Canada, at the same time Joe Frazier will fight Muhammad Ali in Manila. After the tennis match. Riggs indicated that he is considering taking tak-ing up a challenge to walk across Death Valley. Main Street gets two-way traffic The City Council, consisting of Mary Lehmer. Leon Unarte and Jan Wilkmg. presided over by Mayor John Price, granted the request by over 300 Parkites in petition form to revoke the new Park City traffic pattern, which was enacted last November, and return to the system which was in effect prior to the adoption of the new pattern. Beginning last Friday. Mam Street was opened to two-way traffic traf-fic as were Park Avenue and Swede Alley. These streets were formerly open only to one-way traffic. Apart from reinstating two-way traffic on the designated streets, parking on Main Street, which was restricted to the east side of the street in a 45- degree-angle fashion, was changed back to parallel parking on both sides. 10 Years Ago A tradition lives on in Summit County Throngs of rodeo enthusiasts from around the state converged on Summit County last week for the 55th edition of the annual fourth of July Oakley rodeo. More than 15.000 spectators sw igged cold beverages, ate hot dogs, and '"toed" and "ahhed" to the fireworks fire-works during the three-day extravaganza. extrav-aganza. With prize money in the vicinity of $20,000. rodeo cowboys from around the country competed in what town council member Blake Fraier called, "one of the top rodeos in the state." A bevy of rodeo queens from around the nation and the state were on hand to complement Oakley Queen Khnsta Stevens of Hoytsville and her court, first attendant Heidi Headrick of Kamas. and second attendant, Josie Wilde of Oakley. In addition to the rodeo, a country coun-try western dance was held each night following the rodeo. Although dance attendance was light the night of the Fourth, country coun-try artist J.J. Quinn crooned to a "packed house" on Friday and Saturday nights. Sponsored and coordinated by Mayor Ken Woolstenhulme and tow n hoard members Frazier. Kent Leavitt. Doug Evans and Dick Woolstenhulme. the rodeo fills a vital civic need. The City Park, the rodeo grounds and many other recreational recre-ational facilities are funded by the rodeo instead of taxes, according to Fraier. The tood booths are sponsored by the Civic Club, and the entire rodeo is operated on a volunteer basis. This civic spirit enables the rodeo to generate twice as much revenue in three days as yearly property taxes Subsequently. Oakley has one of the lowest tax rates in the state. !
