REARS GIVEN 50c FOR THE SUN NOW AND DISCOUNT v THIRTEENTH YEAR SAVE 50c SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1931 Redmond Citizen Sevier Poultry Day In fatal Accident Scheduled July 31 Wilford Ray Blackburn, affectionately known as Ray to his hosts of friends, met a tragic death at his home at Redmond Friday afternoon at about 3:30. He received a gunshot wound just below the ribs on the right side of his body as he was taking a loaded gun from his car, and after being rushed to the Salina hospital for treatment he passed away. Attending surgeons and physicians at the hospital did heroic work, but the loss of blood from the wound and due to the fact that the liver and intestines had been badly punctured, the efforts were futile. Mr. Blackburn had been planning a trip to Canada with a brother, and had returned a gun, which he kept at his farm, for safe keeping. Evidently he had forgotten to unload the gun and when he went to get his car to go to Salina, he removed the gun and it was accidentally discharged. Little girls passing the garage heard moans and notified Mrs. Blackburn and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Leonard, who ran to the side of the injured man. Mr. Blackburn told his wife I was taking the gun from the car when it was discharged. He lapsed into an unconscious state and remained so until death ended his suffering. Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn were planning to attend a dinner party at the family home of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Jeffrey in Salina, when the distressing accident occurred. Mr. Blackburn, who was born at Loa 36 years ago, had made his home in Redmond for the past four years, following the vocation of farming and stockraising. He was a staunch member of the Mormon church and had served a mission in California. Mr. Blackburn is survived by his widow, Mrs. Myrtle Jeffrey Blackburn, and one daughter, Coy Camille Blackburn, Redmond; his mother, Mrs. M. D. Blackburn, Salt Lake; two brothers, Earl Blackburn, Delta; Jack Blackburn, Redmond; seven sisters, Mrs. B. W. Black, Oakland, Calif.; Mrs. G. J. Johnson, Portland, Ore.; Mrs. C. F. Pinkerton, Mrs. J. II. Clark, Myrtle, Iione and Jessie Blackburn, Salt Lake. Funeral services for Mr. Blackburn were held from the Redmond ward chapel Monday at 12 oclock. Impressive musical numbers were given by the choir and solos were given by Miss Una Peterson cf Richfield and Jas. C. Jensen of Salina. The speakers, who gave words of comfort and eulogized the life of Mr. Blackburn, were Vernal Nelson of Redmond, Bishop Meeks of Bicknell, George Eckersley of Loa, Edgar Jeffrey of Delta and Bishop Orrin Peterson of (Continued on last page) Sevier Valley Poultry day, scheduled for Friday, July 31, at the Richfield fair grounds, according to Horace Home, member of the Salina city council, promises to eclipse any of the previous events held by th county association.

While .on the coast Mr. Cohen was stricken, getting a double dose at a hospital. He first submitted to an operation, which held him bedfast for a week or more. While recovering, his attending physician discovered other ailments, 'and Mr. Cohen submitted to a tonsillotomy operation, having his tonsils removed. Due to the fact that he had not made sufficient recovery from the first operation, the second proved extremely trying and held the patient in bed for a longer period than expected. The Cohens had planned to return to their home a month early, but the sickness caused a delay.

The city invites you to join in celebrating one of the biggest event of the season and everything is now in readiness to entertain a large crowd with one of the best programs given for many years. A huge parade, in which will be seen Mrs. D. G. Burgess as Goddess of Liberty, Miss Phyllis Jensen as Utah, and Antone Jeppson as Uncle Sam, and a long line of floats entered by the business houses and church organizations, will be one of the morning features. An open-air- i patriotic program at the city park will be followed closely by a big program of sports for the young boys and girls. During the afternoon a fine card of horse races will be run at 2:30 and at 4:30 the Salina Sajts, league leaders in the Southern Utah division, and a fast team from Price, members of the Eastern Utah league, will be played at the city park. The children will be entertained at a dancing party at 6 p. m. at Redmonto, and the day will close with a dancing party for all at pie-eatin- . NO. 41 Famed Band and Salt D. & R. G. Ball Team Will Be Seen In Big Celebration Here Two-Da- y Price Ball Team Here In Two Games One of the big holiday features for Saturday, July 4th, and Sunday, July 5th, combining with the celebration in Salina, will be two fast clashes at baseball between Salina and a crack team from Trice, the latter a member of the Eastern Utah league. Mel Anderson, manager for the Salts, announced last evening that all arrangements had been completed for the entertainment of the team from Carbon county, and that some first class baseball is promised the fans in this section. The Salts, thus far, have been undefeated this season. They have played in eight games in the Southern Utah Baseball league, winning all. In two open dates the locals have taken Eureka on for two games, winning both sessions. The Price team, composed of a bunch of fast ones, also holds an enviable record and there is every assurance that some real sport will be seen. Sunday, the Salts were not lined for a league game, and Eureka was a guest of the locals for that day. The game was played on the Salina diamond and resulted in a defeat for the visitors hy a score of 6 to 2. Nylcs Christensen, pitching for the Salts, was in true form and at no time were the locals in danger. Christensen allowed only two hits until the 9th, and during the game he struck out 15 Eureka hatters. It looked like a shut-ou- t for Eureka and Lefty" Christensen was working to that end. A change in the line-ufor Salina upset the plans and in the Ulh two singles were garnered p Salina will celebrate a Homecoming event, Saturday and Sunday, July 11 and 12 and golly, what a time is in store!

It will berthfe first Salina has celebrated Homecoming for years, and invitations have been sent to more than 1,000 fathers, mo thers, brothers and sisters, uncle ami aunts to meet in Salina on the two big days, which will feature programs that will thrill and enthuse. Band music, a rodeo, horse races, foot races and two fast ball games will be a few of the numbers that will form a real program. v Arrangements completed whereby Salina will be host to the Denver & Rio Grande band, the crack band of the state. The Rio Grande ball team, classed as one of the leaders in the Salt Lake Twilight league, holding second place in t!ii league standing, and the Salina Salts, undefeated leaders in the Southern Utah Baseball league, are schedul'd for two games, one each day. The Denver & Rio Grande band,.;o-gethwith the ball team of the railway company, hre coming south and Salina will be the stopping point for the crowd. The gang will travel m two large buses of the Motorway conlpany. It is planned to have tho band make frequent stops at Gunnison, Redmond and other towns, when coneerts will be given. On the morning of the 11th, the band will go south, visiting Richfield, Aurora and Monroe, where brief concerts will be given. Returning, the party will arrive in Salina about noon, at which time all business houses will close and the festivities started for the celebrathomecoming ion, with a concert by the wonderful band and classical musicians.
