Quarrel Over Whiskey
All three men had been drinking
during the early part of the evening
at several saloons at Price. About
9 o'clock the two men instrumental in
killing Frenchy left together but later
came in contact with Frenchy at the
Utah Construction company corrals.
Frenchy had bottle of whiskey from

the quarrel started when Frenchy felt
aggrieved because his guests had con-
sumed more than their just share OF
the liquor. Hot words resulted, TO

Frenchy was supposed to have be-
tween $500 and $1,000 on his person
at the time he met his death. The
man who was implicated with Ring.
ling in tn killing ran his hands over
the body but Ringing asserted that
he had no knowledge as to whether or
not he searched the dead mans body
or felt in his pockets. He believes,
however, that he did not.
Nothing is known here at present
relative to such murder having been
committed in Utah, whether or no.
the body was ever found or whether
anyone has previously been taken into

trouble at the local pail, having made
several attempts to escape. Since his
last escapade, he has been wearing an
Oregon boot.
