ARE THOUGHT TO Be MURDERED


about 80 years, but where he came from 10 this
city and what he did previously In not known To-
cally. He IL said 10 be n single man.
| Interviewed Mt Salt Lake City Goyn IL report
cd as saying: "A few days ago received q let
ter from the Spanish consul at Boise. Ida. in
forming me that Gemino was at Bingham. The
consul says Gemino killed three Spanish boys
before leaving Price. ! remember the circum-
stance. Gemino had n little farm near there.
Three boys were figuring on buying t. They
had five hundred dollars each. They disappear
ed. II Is now believed that Gemino and some of
his friends killed them and hid their bodies, get
ting away with the fifteen hundred dollars be-
tween them" The farm referred 10 by Goyn is
one that belonged 10 Frank Crosse and the late
| l.. o. Hoffman,, situate about three miles up the
river from Price, near the ranches Of Levi b.
Pace and his brother, James +. Pace. The three
Spanish boys were on the ranch for time. While
the members of the Spanish colony in that sec
ton were all known as good farmers. they are
said TO have been hard TO get along with and
were always in more or less trouble with their
lneighbors, the watermaster on the ditch and
folks generally they came in contact with.
Armendaris Hatches Up Story.
When the three young men now supposed TO
have been murdered failed 10 show up among
their countrymen and associates at Price inquir-
les began 10 be made of the reason for their not
coming 10 the city. The question was once put
TO Armendaris and his reply was that he had
lnem 10 quit the Thncn ana leave the
country. His excuse for so doing was that they
were always in trouble and he had tired Of 1t.
Further. he stated, he had marched them to the
train at Price at the point Of sixshooter and
forced them TO board IL. This story appears 10
have been accepted by the Spanish and Mexican
colony at Price, and nothing more would have
been thought of them but for the murder charge
now under investigation by the consul at Boise,
Ida, and the arrest of Sofa or Gemino. II is now
the belief Of many that the young men were
murdered for their money and the bodies buried
somewhere in the west hills
Gemino Not Wanted Here.
Records kept by the sheriff's office show that
GeminO (Sola) was arrested and taken before
A. j. Lee justice at Price, on October ID, 1915,
Tor disturbance OF the peace and that he was dis
charged for lack of sufficient evidence This
was in connection with the row at the Carbon
Hotel. This date does not tally with the one
given by Goyn, that of December 81, 1915, when
the trouble at the Carbon Hotel took place. La
ter an effort was made TO have the fellow put I'M
der bonds to keep the peace, but nothing was
done in the matter and in the meantime Genimol
had left here Sheriff Congham had an in
quiry from the sheriff at Salt Lake City last
Tuesday concerning Gemino and replied that the
man is not wanted here. there being no charge
against him. Sheriff Collingham has not de-
cided whether he will make a search for the men
believed by the consul at Boise, Ida to have
been slain. Folks knowing the trio of the Car
bon Hotel are inclined to the belief that murder
would not stand in the way of their getting
money.
