LICENSE CLERK REQUIRES CARD
 0F REGISTRAR
Men Over 21 and Under 31
 Must Show That They
 Registered to Secure Marriage Licenses Here

A rule has been informally adopt flee o'f the clerk of the court that an application for marriage license by a man between the ages of 21 and 90 must be accompanied by a dis play or a card showing that the ap- plicant has been registered for the selective draft. There may be no legislative enactment for this re- quirement but it cannot be contra verted that the proper place for such an applicant is the jail, and a man who ought to be in jail ought not to be married.
 This new rule was suggested by the application yesterday of Trino Leon for license to marry Delfina EsDinosa. Replying to a question as to his age, Leon said he Was twenty. He looked older and Mr. Johnson's sus- Dicions were aroused. Leon was told that he would have to bring the writ ten consent of his parents. He re- piled that he could mol do that: that they were in Mexico and all arrange ments for. the wedding had been made. He was informed that he was against an memorable law and that wedding arrangements cut no fig ure. All persons under the age of twenty-one must produce the writ ten consent of their parents for em- arkation on such a solemn and per ilous enterprise as matrimony.
 Leon went away and soon returned with the statement that he had been ir' error as tu his age;' he was past twenty one: he was either twenty three or twenty four Mir Johnson replied that he now had two stories before him and he did not know which to believe. He would be obliged to still regard Leon as under twenty-One in the absence of cor roborative proof of his later state ment that he was older If Leon had any witnesses. that is, reliable wit nesses, who would testify that they knew him to be more than twenty one he had better bring them in.
 Leon went away and a little later returned with two witnesses who said that they had known him in Mexico from his birth and they knew that he was either twenty three or twenty four. That point having be n established MT. Johnson then asked Icon for his registcation card. He lad none; he had not registered: that Was why he had lied about his age in the first place: he wanted to keep out of the eligible zone and did not know that that aiso kept him out of the matrimonial
 You are one of the men the sher- if is looking for" MT Johnson told him: your place is in iail; you have no business with a marriage license" Leon offered 2 lame excuse for not having registered: he was at Scotts- dale so busily engaged he had not had time. Mir. Johnson told him that he would have to turn him up t'. the sheriff but he suggested that there was one way out of the diff culty. The sheriff might yet regis ter him; he could do so if he de- sired and if he should do so instead cf throwing him into jail he might return and the marriage license would be issued to him.
 Leon went away and soon return ed with evidence that he had been registered. his marriage license is sued and presumably the arrange mtnts which had been announced b. G.eon were carried out last right.

Riddle Furnishes Realism

Little Frankie Lee. the four-y -year-old youngster who plays the part of Claire McDowells Indian son. in the Red Feather play. The Bronze Bride un- derstands perfectly how to take direc- ton" from the producer, in this case Henry McRae. Some times he even exceeds his orders in realism. He was told to throw his arms around his mother S neck and hug her hard. Be all excited-bite her on the earl" said McRae, never intending to be taken literally. Frankie obeyed to the letter and the consequence was that his In- dian mother poor Miss Mcdowell, ut tered a cry of pain, when the sharp little teeth sank into her ear.

ADJUSTMENTS
MUSICAL COMPANY
 AGAIN AT EMPRESS

Last evening the American Musical Comedy company made it's first ap- pearance at the Empress theater and if future bills come up to the standard set upon the occasion. the Empress should do excellent business with the new company. The starting bill was ''The Grafters." and on Sunday even ing new offering. Heinz Dream" will be given.
 One of the features of the produc- tion was the re-appearance of Anna Montgomery, who has a leading place in the organization. An old Phoenix favorite, Miss Montgomery was warm 1y welcomed back to the stage here.
 There are ten character people in the company and nearly as many in a very excellent little chorus which can sing, dance and is up to the stand ard of good looks. There are nine musical numbers in the opening bill and the melange is hot weather stuff for the tired business man who wants to be amused and not have too much thinking trust upon him.

judge ordered the fourteen or fifteen
boys implicated to appear for trial on
Wednesday morning.
Some opposition to these methods
of child-correction having developed
among several parents and school pat
rons, the lumber company manager
evidently changed his mind about pros
ecuting h case, for when the young
sters appeared at the stipulated time
the judge announced that he had allow
ed the complainant to withdraw the
charge, and that no trial would be had.
TIT judge then gave the boys a con-
siderable lecture regarding the rights
of individuals residing within a COM
munity, e them u few sections of
statute law regarding penalties which
may be imposed for n breach of the
peace, and also o occasion, the day
being October 31st, to warn them
against the commission of any Hal

rowdyism, he said, came under the
head of trespass in the statutes, and he
ou'eu the 'drlous penal
Ties provided for such misdemeanors,
warning Young America that severe
punishment you'd be melted out in his
court for any unseemly conduct or de-
~struction of property on this occasion.
After giving evidence that they had
thoroughly absorbed the advice and
warnings of the court, the boys were
discharged.

GROWTH OF OIL INDUSTRY.
Denver Mining Paper Says This State
is Destined to Have Wonderful
Future from Oil Industry.

All substantial growth is more or
less gradual and no modern Romes are
built in a day II more than they were
some centuries ago. This truism ap-
plies to the Wyoming oil fields in that
several years of diligent work has been
required to bring them to their present
gratifying state of prosperity, and sew
eral years more will pass before the ia
oil area can be expected to de-
velop its maximum possibilities.
Steadily the Wyoming fields have
been punctured by al increasing num-
Der of drills, bringing in new gushers
and adding Importantly to the produc-
ton. This growth has been built on a
solid foundation of merit and is sched-
uled to continue, says the Denver Min
ing Record in a special article on Wyo-
ming.
AS production has increased, the oil
refining companies, with millions of
dollars already invested, have still fur
Their enlarged their combined capacity
in a vain endeavor to keep pace with
the growing output of the wells. Fur
Their, to meet the needs of the situation,
various large refinery projects are IN
der way and will be in operation at no

SARATOGA HAS MANY CRIMINALS
Hauled Up i'm Large Bunches Before
Police Magistrate to Answer for
Damage to Foster Co.

Some twenty-siX children, varying in
ages from IL to IS years, all members
of various grades in the local school,
appeared in police court Tuesday morn
ing to face u charge of disturbance and
to answer for damages caused to prop
erty owned by the Foster Lumber Com
pany, it being alleged that two window
panes in the company's office were
broken Monday evening during a dem
on%stration by the chi'lren while stag
ing a charivari in honor of the recent
marriage of the company's local man
ager.
The charivari has long been a favor
lite diversion on the part of the young
folks of Saratoga, who overlook no op-
portunity to serenade a newly-married
couple, the ultimate object being to
separate the groom from enough sill
yer to buy treats for the crowd, and
this feature of the entertainment has
resulted successfully in most cases, the
one of Monday night, however, being
Il notable exception, according to the
erstwhile youthful musicians.
The story, as told by various MEM
bers of the serenading party, is hat
after the opening overture and a few
choice selections had been rendered,
the manager appeared on the scene, but
instead of coming across" with the
necessary ~wherewithal to buy treats,
he addressed the youngsters, they say,
in language more forceful than ele-
CANT, ordering them away from the
company's property. After this I'M
lookedfor development, the party seems
to have assumed the proportions of a
small riot, during the progress of
which two window panes were shat
tered by flying tin cans and other hast
lily constructed musical instruments.
AT any rate, the kids were all taken
from school and lined up in police court
Tuesday morning, and all pleaded not
guilty to the charge as stated by the
court. After excusing the dozen or so
girls who had been rounded up, the

PIPE LINE TO FORT STEELE.
West s. Hazlctt viii Construct q Pipe
Line from Lost Soldier Field.
According to State Papers.

Announcement has recently been
made by the Cheyenne papers that it is
the intention of West & Hazlett, large
oil operators of Wyoming, to begin at
once the construction of a pipe line
from their producing wells in the Lost
Soldier field of Carbon county to Fort
Steele. where they will install a couple
of monster oil tanks to hold their pro-
ducts. one of these tanks, It is said,
will be of $4,000 barrels capacity, and
the other of 10000 barrels.
This firm has recently acquired large
oil interests in various parts of the
state, having last week purchased the
Hjorth interests in the Salt Creek field,
the Bair interests in the Lost Soldier
field, and Section 10, a valuable prop
erty in the Big Muddy field.
They are also prospecting new terri
tory in several other parts of the state,
including the Pick Springs Company's
dome a few miles northwest of Sara

distant date. b
The surface of Oklahoma with its
100, 900, 00O-barrel and more output of
oil yearly, has been likened to the top
of a pepper box, yet there is every rea-
son to believe that the state will main
tain its production for many years to
come. Oklahoma has attained its emf
nent position as an oil producer only
after a long period of constant growth
and there appears no reason why Wyo-
ming should not repeat this perform
ance and gradually work up to u 100,-
O00,000-barrel output.
Very justly it has been reiterated
the surface of Wyoming SO far
has barely been scratched and that the
superb pot~entialities of its oil fields
are realized only vaguely, even yet.
Certain biologists aver that somewhere
under the surface of Wyoming there
lies a vast mother pool and when
this is finally discovered the oil pro-
duction of the state will increase by
leaps and bounds.

for which was issued by President j.
A. S%chOonjans a few weeks ago.
With the fall work well over with
and fine weather prevailing, the indi-
cations are hat almost the full MEM
bership may be looked for.
The business sessions will be held at
the city hall, and will probably occupy
the larger part of the day, as there are
a number of important matters to be
discussed and acted upon. The evening
session will include a banquet at The
Wolf, with elk meat as the piece de
resistance" and later in the evening a
dance at the Jensen Hall.
Preparations are all complete for the
meeting Of the stockmen and the occa-
sion will no doubt be a profitable and
pleasant one.
