and with several men made a trip TO
Suyler Mesa to search for the body
of the missing man. They made little
headway for the reason that the
ground was covered with snow. The
search was abandoned for the time,
with the expectation that it would be
taken up later when weather condi-
tions were more favorable.
On his return to Green River the
sheriff found a wallet belonging to
Ringing, which contained great
many letters from relatives and
friends of the missing man. He
opened correspondence with the writ
ers of the letters to learn If Ringing
had been seen after he left Green
River.
Brothers of the horse buyer who
live in Bourbon, Mo-, wrote the sher-
iff that they had received letters from
him in January of this year and that
he was then in Palisades. New.
Sheriff Bliss wrote to parties in
Palisades and received letter from
w. H. Hale of that place stating that
Roger ID. Ringing worked for him
on Hale's ranch up to a couple or
months ago. To make sure that this
was not a case of mistaken identity
the sheriff sent a description and
photograph of the young man, fur
nished by his relatives in Missouri,
to Mr.. Hale, with the request that he
write him whether, in his opinion,
the missing horse buyer and the man
who worked on his ranch were the
same Mr.. Hale wrote back that there
was no doubt that they were the
same men as the photograph sent
was a good likeness of the man who
worked for him, and the description
tailed exactly. He also stated that
he believed Ringing was now at
Eureka, New. and that letter would
reach him there.
The sheriff. while feeling certain
that Ringling is alive. would still
like to know why he left Suyler Mesa
the way he did. and how he went. In
the meantime his faith in circnm-
stantial evidence is badly shaken

VOTE OF THANKS
FOR REV. BECKER

Grand junction is to have n
lecture course next year and the
y. NJ. C. A. is to manage it, ac-
coiding to an announcement
made last night just before Gov
Folk delivered his lecture, by
Rev. James A. Becker who for
the past seven years has man
aged the Grand junction lecture
course but who leaves in "A few
days to take up his residence in
Montrose county as has been
previously announced.
Rev. Becker announced last night
that Gov John A. johnson, of Mime
sofa. will be unable TO fill his en-
gagement here this year on account
of i'll health. He further stated that
with Gov: Folk paid there would
probably be a fund of from SIS to
500 left. He wanted the patrons
to decide whether or nor he should
secure the best available attraction
for this money or should he turn it
over to the Y VI. C. a.
Even had Gov Johnson come there
would have mad to have been very
heavy sale of tickets in order 10 pay
the large fee that such men as Gov
johnson and Gov. Folk receive on the
Ilecture platform.
A motion was made by one of the
patrons extending 10 Rev. Becker the
thanks of the lyceum course patrons
for his faithful. conscientious. sue
cessful work during the past seven
years. Rev. Becker during this time,
has managed the lecture course and
through his efforts for the past seven
years. Rev. Becker during this time,
has managed the lecture course and
through his efforts for the past three
years at least the city has had the
finest and most brilliant individual
lecture courses in America The mo-
ton also provided that Rev. Becker
dispose of the fund as his best judg-
ment dictated. The motion prevailed
by unanimous vote and rousing
cheer was given Rev. Becker.
Rev. Becker feelingly thanked the
patrons for. the support they had
given his efforts to give Grand juno
tion a fine series of the biggest lee
ture and lyceum attractions available
each year.
Rev. Becker deserves the thanks
of the citizens generally for his work
in this line. He has done~t the work.
carried most of the responsibility
and did the worrying during these
seven years and never has he receiv-
ed one cent of remuneration for this
work. He did it for the love of the
work and the desire to see Grand
junction have such attractions.
Rev Becker will probably secure
closing attraction for the course.

Here, according to the story of
Farrer and Bell, Ringing disappear
ed. He left the horse he vas riding,
which belonged to Farrer, his OWL
chaps" bride and other belongings
on Suyler Mesa and valise and some
clothing and papers at Green River
He never has called for any of them
since.
The people of Green River and
Elgin generally believed that Ring
ling, who had considerable money on
his person when he left for Suyler
Mesa, had been murdered for his
money. They could not understand
what would cause a man to forsake
his horse and other property and
make his way on foot for 25 miles
over some of the toughest country in
the state.
When, during the month of March,
this year. Lou Anderson and George
Black, sheepmen. riding on Suyler
Mesa, found Ringling's chaps, with
what appeared to be blood stains on
them, they were convinced ana
promptly reported the matter to Sher-
iff Bliss, with demand that some
thing be done about 1t.
