FameRank: 4

"Frederick “Fred” Peters" was mayor of Murray, Utah, United States, from 1932 to 1934. He was born at Gelderland, Netherlands, and came to Utah at the age of 1. As a young man he worked as a "moler" for the Union Pacific Railway. He later entered the mattress and upholstery business, and eventually started a wallpaper and interior decorating business. In 1912 he became City Marshal, and held this office until 1916. From 1916 to 1931, Peters was the city's health officer. During his administration, the new Murray city electric power plant was completed.

He was an officer in the local Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was also a member of the State Firemen’s Association as he was a volunteer in the Murray Fire Department, Yeoman(fraternal order), and Woodmen of the World.

He was most noted for apprehending labor activist Joe Hill, who was charged with murdering a grocer in downtown Salt Lake City. Peters, while City Marshal, shot Hill in the hand when Hill tried to escape from a boardinghouse window, and turned Hill over to Officer Blaine L. Baxter of the Salt Lake City police department.

It's clearly a hybrid. It's certainly dependent on (UK) for financing...but the student government association is allowed to be that; they're the students who govern themselves.

I don't think you have to worry about Tommy driving recklessly again.

At our last meeting, we brought out the stickler with the county as to what to call it (the walkway). We just want to keep people out of the street.

It is kind of an inconsistent verdict. They found that driving down Main Street the way he did was a gross deviation of the standard of care, but he wasn't under the influence. I can't figure that out.

There are a number of people in the city who are eminently qualified. Many might not know there is an opening.

One life has been lost. I ask you not to destroy another.

Kids are the same at any school. There's a light that goes on when they start making adult decisions. For some kids, it takes awhile for the light to go on.

They're trying to set some kind of trap for appeal, judge, but I don't think you have to go for it.

No one else has shown any symptoms. We believe we have acted quickly.

If the Fed doesn't raise rates, it's strictly for morale. Given the recent market swings, they're going to go ahead with the increase. There will probably be two more hikes.

They called and asked if they could move walls. The building is getting in the way of what they want to do.

What if in 20 years we say, 'small schools? What was that all about?' We're trying to build for a variety of uses because we know it's going to change.

There was a shot of optimism from the Fed minutes and I think that's what has carried the market through so far.

We've got so many things against us, ... The red tide is hammering us, fuel prices are through the roof and the grouper closure will mean the peak season is totally shot. They're all nails in our coffin.

Even the most committed alums say it was an ugly building when it was built.

If you go where the grouper are, they're like cockroaches -- you can't get them off your hook. What you have is a bunch of people in suits and ties, sitting in their offices, who don't have a clue what's going on.

I think everybody is waiting for the employment data. If unemployment is still dropping when we've just had a report showing productivity is declining, then the Fed would be really concerned about wage inflation. That would mean we would be more likely to see more than one or two rate hikes.
