Caldwell Will Get
Milk Free Of T. B.
Dairymen Voluntarily Have Herds
Tested; Propose City Ordin-
ance to Reach All.

Last week, w. S. Maxey, owner of
the Speedway dairy, by having his
herd of q Jersey cows tested for
tuberculosis, started something which
promises to end only when every
dairy COW whose milk finds its way
at homes in Caldwell will have UNDER
gone this test under the direct super
vision of DR.. G. B. Bishop, who is
conducting this work in Canyon coun-
~ for the United States government.
. Following closely upon the heels
of the precedent set by Mr.. Maxey,
H. Fl. Matthews of the Jersey herd
dairy asked that his herd be tested.
DR.. Bishop started this work Thurs
day. 1t is believed that most of the
remaining dairys in Caldwell will fol-
low within the coming week.
Animals which react to the tuber-
culin test are isolated and placed un-
der observation or Immediately killed.
If second test shows tuberculosis,
the cows are slaughtered under fed
eral supervision and eatable portions
of the meat are sold. Loss to the
owners Is partially made up by state
and federal appropriations. and
amount awarded the owner of each
COW killed varying with the value of
the animal, This protests the owner
against material loss. Testing is free.
To further insure clean and whole
some milk reaching consumers in this
city, an ordinance is proposed making
it compulsory for persons who own
cows and sell milk, even to their
neighbors in small amounts, to have
their animals tested. Steps will prob
ably be taken in the near future to
have this ordinance drafted and
passed. 1t is believed here that Cald-
we'll is the first town in this section
to start this work.

Take Ringing to
Utah to Face Trial
Confessed Slayer of Man at Price in
1913 Goes to Scene of
Murder.

Al Ringing has gone back to Price,
Utah, to face the charge there of hav-
ing been implicated in the murder Of
"Frenchy" sometime during the spring
of 1918. Ringing has been in the
Canyon county Jail here for several
months pending trial on a forgery
charge, having endeavored to cash a
draft on Fictitious Wisconsin bank
at the Western National bank here.
Saturday, the sheriff of Price county
came after Ringing and started to
Utah with his man.
Several weeks ago, Ringing volun-
tarily confessed in the presence of
H. E. Wallace, county attorney, and
Bert Mumforad, deputy sheriff, to
having struck "Frenchy" over the
head with sawed-off billiard cue
which he had been using for whip
stock. This victim was knocked
down, and while lying PROSTATE, was
shot through the head by Ringing 5
companion, whose name Ringing as
serts he has forgotten.
Following the deed. the body was
taken on a hand car, several miles
into the hills and left practically ex-
posed to the elements in barren
desert waste. 1t was not discovered
until several years later.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the crime, although
Ringing denies that this is so.
"Frenchy'' is known to have had
about $4,000 in cash on his person at
the time. Evidently he was invited
to drink heavily and then lured into
a trap.
Ringing, who claimed relationship
with the Ringing family of circus
fame, relationship which was en-
phatically denied, is believed to have
confessed the Utah affair in order
that he might be taken there for trial
rather than face the forgery charge
in Canyon county. He took this ac-
ton, apparently entertaining the idea
that the penalty would be less in
Utah than here.
