New evidence which has been uncovered by county officials brought bout filing of first degree murder charge against George Pulokavieh, 41, who is being held in the eounty jail here following the fatal shooting of O. C. Dean last Monday afternoon. The first degree murder eharge was filed Tuesday by County Attorney Walter CL Graze. Nature of the new evidence was not revealed by eounty officials except that it is contrary to the plea of Palokavich. The new development came as a surprise as Palokavich was to have been charged with voluntary manslaughter or second degree murder. Tim arrested man claims he shot Dean in when he attempted to protect the wife and children of Dean, who were threatened with injury. The quarrel leading np to the shooting started when Mrs. O. C. Dean filed for a divorce Monday afternoon of last week. Dean acmpanied her to the court house, but slipped away and made her walk home, which ii about two miles east of Priee. When Mrs. Dean returned home her husband had not arrived but came in later with a rifle. He argued with her aud later threatened to-- kill both her and the children. lie began beating her with his fists and milk bottles. Palokavich, boarder at the Dean home and close friend of ihe slain man, interceded. Dean then turned on him and threatened him with a gun. Palokavich was knorked down several times. According to Palokavich he was when forced to shoot in Dean leveled a rifle at him. A coroners jury was unable to agree for several days when evidence showed that there were six bullet holes in Deans body and throe in the kitchen, where the shooting took place. Palokavich said there were but fWfe bullets in the pistol and that he did not reload the revolver. An autopsy was performed to determine if all the bullets were fired from the same gun. After it was determined that the same gun fired the shots the jury then ortaken to see how many dered an bullets were in the body. Following the XTray the jury felt convinced that two of the bullets were fexit holes and that' Dean entered a verdict-claimincame to hia death at the hands of bullets fired from a revolver held m the hands of Palokavich. Evidently unsatisfied with the concharge tradictory evidence, a formal investiwas withheld pending further gation. The first degree charge indicated that startling evidence haa been uncovered. self-defen- se g Election of officers of the Carbon eounty country elub will take place Saturday evening at the elub house, according to Mat Gilmour, president, smoker has been arranged.

City last week-end- A plan of road construction this summer as a relief measure was presented to the eounty eomniLsioner Tuesday afternoon by a body of Price business men. After discussing ths plan it wa decided that a committee of the Price and Ileljier Chambers of Commerce, the contact committee of the einergeuey relief body anl a representative of the Utah Rock Asphalt company meet with the eounty commissioners at a meeting of the state road commission Saturday. The plan outlined would be to use Utah rock asphalt instead of oil on a projeet outlined by the state road commission. The state road body plans to oil Highway No. 50 from Pries east to the Emery eounty road and also tha p Castle stretch. It was proposed that rock asphalt be used instead of oil and that the state and federal government be asked to coGate-Rolap- operate. Such a plan would employ between 170 and 180 men. By work rotation approximately 500 men eould be given aid during the summer. Officials of the Utah Rock Asphalt eompany have offered to reduce the east of material aud will employ local labor both in laying the asphalt and at the milL By such a project this eounty would receive approximately three dollars from outside sources to every dollar spent by this eounty. Practically every dollar spent would be for local labor and the use of local industry, whereas in oiling, the money would leave the state and only a small portion would be spent in labor. Cost of asphalt would be reduced to approximately $8000 a mile. It was pointed out that this would insure Carbon eounty of a paved highway, would mean employment of many men and would he relatively inexpensive. At the same time it would permit one of the state newest industries to open its mills this summer and, with orders already received, run until late falL self-defen- se At a meeting of the board of cation Monday afternoon it was dends cided to take np $12,000 in L on mature April which As soon as these bonds aro taken will up the total bonded indebtedness be reduced $38,000 this year.
