WANTS RESuRvEY
OF TOWNSHIPS

The matter of securing a govern
ment resurvey for all townships in this
locality, which are held by a ruling of
the Interior department to be ineligible
for resurvey by reason of the fact that
more than SO per cent of the land
therein has been alienated, is being
given serious consideration by Con-
gressman Undertake, with view to
securing relief for the settlers in such
townships through Congressional chan
nels.
1t is matter that must be handled
very judiciously to insure success and
in order to get the consideration of
Congress for bill to accomplish this
purpose, it will be necessary to present
very strong case. Petitions will be
circulated in the near future by persons
with whom Mr.. Undertake is now in
correspondence, and in order to receive
consideration must be signed by a ma
jority of the entrymen holding land in
each township which is to be included
in the bill asking for the resurvey,
which Mr.. Undertake will introduce
as soon as the necessary evidence is in
his hands.
Mr.. Undertake cautions that favor
able action by Congress rust not be
expected too soon, as there are many
measures of National Importance on
the calendar, which must be enacted
before the 4th of March, when the
present session Of Congress expires,
and it is probable that little or no local
Legislation of this character will be con-
sidered. However. this outlook does
not prevent the introduction of the bill,
and its consideration, by the commit
tee that will have it in charge, and the
case will then at least be ready for
action when the next session of Con-
gress convenes. Too, there is chance
that the opportunity may present itself
for action on this bill at this session,
and 1t is to be ready for such an oppor-
tunity, in his desire to get this much
needed relief without any unnecessary
delay, that Mr.. Timberlake is UNDER
taking this proposition at this time.
Readers of The Enterprise, who are
interested in securing this resurvey
should cooperate with our congress
man in every possible way and should
communicate with him regarding con-
ditions iu their townships.

BANDITS HOLD UP
BANK At BRUSH

Three clerks and the cashier of the
Stockmen's National bank of Brush
were held up at the point of guns soon
after opening the doors of the institu-
ton Monday morning by three bandits,
who made their escape with $500.
Sheriff Patterson of Logan county
was asked to aid in the capture of the
bandits, but there was little definite
Information to be had as to which way
the highwsymen went after leaving
Brush, II they did leave town. How
ever, soon after noon, after telephon-
Ing al about the county. the sheriff
accompanied by posse started out in
direction of Hillrose.
c. H. Neighbors, assistant cashier
Of the bank, Jens Jenson and a boy,
clerks. were in the bank early and were
bringing the cash from the vaults in
preparation for the days business,
when three men entered from the rear.
They walked around through the
cashier's Office and three guns were
drawn on the three bank employees.
Two of the clerks were forced to the
floor and covered by one of the bandits,
while the other one was forced to aid
the other two bandits in placing the
banks money into sack.
While the holdup was taking place,
A. H. Frerich, cashier, opened the
front door of the bank with his key
and as he entered he was forced to
throw up his hands. His keys were
taken from him and the victims were
then put into the vault and the door
closed on them. As the vault door was
slammed shut the burglar alarm was
set of and the bandits gave fight
through a rear door, with the cash in
their possession.
Neighbors quickly emerged from the
vault and gave chase. He carried a
gun, and was said to be within thirty
feet Of the men, but shot his gun into
the air. The highwaymen darted
through an alley out onto main street
and passed a group Of men. But the
latter paid little attention to the bank
robbers, not knowing what was going
on. The latter went through an alley
and all sight of them was lost.
Statements are conflicting as to what
became Of the highwaymen. Some
say that they made their escape in an
automobile, others said that they saw
no automobile leave town.
A fairly good description was had Of
the highwaymen, and it is on this that
the sheriff of Morgan county and the
sheriffs Of the surrounding counties are
working. The description fits man
who was under suspicion in Sterling
and Sheriff Patterson is satisfied that

Sterling Advocate.
Monday evening there was quite a
little stir in this quaint little town of
Raymer over the appearance of man
who came in from Sterling in a hired
auto. He first engaged room then
can .elled the order and engaged Mr..
Cox to take him to Cheyenne. He told
some queer stories of his business and
seemed 80 much in a hurry to get on
his way, and after he had left, Chey-
enne was notified, and also Sterling.
When Mr.. Cox came back it was
learned that the party seemed thirsty
when he reached the Wyoming capitol,
but so far as known he was not
molested.

SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING
Deepest Spirit Of Christmas Does Not
cenfine Itself to One Day, but
10 Manifest Entire Year.

The deepest spirit Of the Christmas
outrouring that flows over the Chris.
tian world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year.
1t is easy to give recklessly out Of
ones abundance, or even to share care
fully ones pittance. The distribution
Of Christmas dinners through hun
dreds Of self-denying families means a
Gays happiness for the giver and re-
ceiyer. But 1t is greater happiness to
both to follow through the year with
aid to self-dependence, announcement
to hope, and support In striving for
better living.
This Is the giving Of self, and they
who know how to give Of themselves
wisely are the highest givers. The
best feature Of Christmas Is Its ma
terial expression of a whole year of
human service that runs like thread
through human lives.
Only these holiday glinpses reveal
to the careless how many are dedi-
Gated to share In this uno5trusive
service to the humbly striving and to
the unconplaining needy; how many
families are under constant stimulus
to the best sort Of self-help; how many
children are being quietly led to q
higher level Of living and striving for
themselves between Christmas and
Christmas.

Peculiar Accident

Der to assume its natural position, the
patient had to be placed under the in

The Chronicles

The Chronicles
Now it came to pass that in the last
year of the reign of George the dry,
that there was great drought in the
land of the Raymertes, and there was
neither refreshment nor drink for man
or boozer.
And one said to himself behold there
is much booze in Cheyenne and why
should perish with thirst: have the
sheckles, and straightway there came
a bottle by express and in the bottle
were spirits.
Then said he to another let US seek a
place where we may drink and make
merry, and they spied a building that
they conceived to be deserted office,
nor did they know that in the period of
great prosperity there was no such
thing as an empty house in the city of
Raymer. So they entered into the
building and they found them couch
and fire close thereto, and they drank
and refreshed themselves, and low and
behold the spirits began to work and
they saw double and their stomachs did
heave and there was a casting up of
accounts such as no bank had ever had
knowledge.
And after much tribulation and sor-
row, the emmotion was quieted, when
one beheld hanging upon the wall, GER
tain garments, and he lifted up his
voice and said: Behold, is not this the
toga of maiden of the city? Per-
chance the place is the abode of some
of the children of Ramah. Let US
hasten to yamoose, lest they come
upon US and we shall appear as foolish
ones, and we shall bring shame upon
ourselves and our little ones'.
And straighway they gathered up
their garments and their remaining
booze and vamoosed.
There is oil excitement in plenty at
Sterling. Indications seem to be ex-
cellent. One good thing about the
proposition is this, the men who are
backing the prospecting are able to
loose. If they win, they will make big
profits. if they do not win IT will not
hurt them. Many conservative men
believe that oil is to be found here, but
the certain and safe investment h still
the land and what it win grow.
That Would Be so' ,ethlne 1lse.

All the animals held their kreaths
now, for they were sure Mr.. Owl was
about to propose a very wise scheme
when Mr.. Bear drops the trumpet
continued Mr.. Owl. "the one who stays
behind and picks 1t up must take out
the music inside the trumpet.
Mr. Bear is so busy blowing on
the trumpet. he will never know. and
we must tell him how beautiful the
music is, just as usual"
Mr.. Owl stopped and looked from
one to the other. to see the effect
his speech had made, and he was well
pleased with what he saw.
The animals were amazed at his
wisdom, and looked at him admiringly
Now. who is to get the trumpet
asked Mr.. Rabbit
Mr.. Fox said he would, but, being
such good runner, he thought he
should lead the running when Mr..
Bear dropped the trumpet.
We'll. appoint Mr.. Squirrel, them
said Mr.. Owl: "he has such sharp
teeth, and can get into such small
places"
So. Mr.. Squirrel said he would take
out the music If they would promise
to keep on running for long time.
So, one day, when Mr.. Bear went
to market and left his trumpet at
home. one of the animals filled it with
flour, and that night, just before dark,
when Mr.. Bear started to play, out
came the flour In great clouds.

Mr.. Rabbit; I'VE have got to cure him
Of wanting to play on the trumpet. .
We might ask him not to play al
night" said Mr.. Squirrel.
But who wants to ask him." said
Mr.. Fox. Mr.. Bear thinks everyone
is charmed by his playing, and he
might be angry II we asked him to
stop. even for little while"
That is So" said Mr.. Rabbit. "Mr
Bear is very growly, and he might feel
like hugging the one who asked him
to stop. and Mr.. Bears hugs do not
mean that he loves YOU"
Listen" said the Owl. II have
thought of plan.'
What Is 1t, grave and wise one?'
asked Mr.. Fox.
"We-that is, some Of us-must
fill the trumpet with flour, and when
Mr.. Bear starts to play on it the next
time, the flour will come out like
smoke, and we will all cry Fire! That
will brighten him so he will drop it
and run away.
But, as l said BEFORE" said Mr.
Rabbit, ''he will get another trumpet
if that one is spoiled"
Listen" said the Owl. Il have not
finished. When he drops the trumpet
We must all cry Fire, Fire! Fire,"
and run, and he will run as long as
we do"
"Of course, someone must stay be.
hind to get the trumpet. and that is
where the cure comes It,"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-09-19

Fire! gire! FIRE." screamed the
animals, and, dropping the trumpet
away went Mr.. Bear. and the others
led by Mr.. Fox.
All but Mr.. Squirrel: he STAYED be-
bind. of course, to take out the mu.
sic. and it didn't take him long, can
tell you, for he expected every minute
Mr.. Bear would return and begin to
blow the trumpet, and Mr.. Squirrel
knew that If he did he would go fly.
ing out OF that trumpet, and where he
would go he could not guess.
BY and by Mr. Bear and the others
came back, and Mr.. Bear picked up
the trumpet and began to play on It.
Beautiful, beautiful" said all the
animals, and Mr.. Squirrel was louder
than all the others in his praises.
So Mr.. Bear blew, and, while he
thought the sound was not just as it
had been, everyone seemed so much
pleased he thought 1t must be all
right

OF the hill. We have not slept for
three nights. Something ought to be
done at once"
Why not call meeting Of all the
animals In the woods and talk il
over?" said Blue Jay that had just
flown down to limb near them.
The very thing" said Mr.. Fox, who
had listened but said nothing; you
call on the animals Blue Jay. and tell
them to be in the Hollow back OF the
big tree at the end of the woods just
before dark tonight"
So off flew the Blue Jay, glad OF
the chance to carry the news.
When the meeting was called to or.
der that night by Mr.. Owl, who sat
on limb of tree, the question of
what was TO be done to stop Mr..
Bear from playing had many answers.
I'VE can steal his trumpet" said
Blue Jay.
"He would only get another" said
