suit OF using his boot toe as a brake
on a Ford car. Owing to the cool
weather the car was hard to crank
SO the rear wheel was lacked up in
the customary manner and the en-
zine then started. The emergency
break was then set to stop the wheel
from spinning but the brake lining
was a little worn, the wheel was only
partially retarded. Mr.. Collins was
standing in the rear of the a and
n an cndeavor to keep the tire from
injury as the jack was removed, he
placed his boot toe against the casing
to slow 1t down. Reing heavily hob
nailed the sole of the boot caught in
the non-skids, which threw his foot
up against the rear fender with such
force as to completely fracture the
ankle bone. DIR. Barber reduced the
fracture.
Mr.. Collins has been studying the
geology Of the surrounding country
most assiduously since early last
spring and is said to be n of the
best posted rock hounds in the state.
His genial disposition and untiring
work have won him new friends

MAYOR KELL REDEEMS PARTY PLEDGES

Last Spring Just prior to the city election DR.. E. A. Kell, who
was the Republican candidate for Mayor, made a statement re-
committee on the question of law enforcement in the city.
Ihls statement was as follows:
II elected mayor | will use every means in my power to
see that all ordinances and all state laws are strictly enforced
l believe that laws should be enforced to the letter or else
garding laws that are on the statute books l will consider it
my duty to enforce all laws without fear or favor and | will
have officers that will so enforce these laws.
If within my power to do so l will make Rawlins a
sa1e place tor a respectable citizen to live in and will CO.
operate with the county officers, the state law enforcement
department and the federal officers in enforcing the prohibi-
uon laws, the laws against prostitution, the gambling laws,
and all other laws.
with the CO. operation of the councilmen | will give q
clean, honest and progressive city administration"
The day following DR.. Kel's Inauguration as mayor he com.
municated with Commissioner Roach of the State Law Enforce
ment Department., requesting that state enforcement officers be
sent to this city to cooperate with him in the enforcement of the
laws in Rawins: Commissioner Roach replied to the effect that
just as soon as he had a sufficient number of men available he
would send them to Rawlins to cooperate with the mayor.
Upon receiving this promise from Commissioner Roach our
rived they could accomplish the maximum amount of good. When
many citizens reminded him of his campaign pledge he remained
planned could not be accomplished successfully if given publicity.
Several weeks since state enforcement officers arrived in
Rawlins and reported to Mayor Kell, who at all times was in touch
with their operations and who supplied them with considerable
information that had come to him as mayor. These operators
were successful in securing considerable evidence with the result
that several arrests have already been made.
When the state operators had concluded the gathering of
evidence Mayor Kal called a meeting of representative business
men for the purpose of determining whether it was the wish of
the people of the city that those against whom evidence had been
secured be tried in the city courts for violating city ordinances or
whether the evidence should be turned over to the county and
the offenders tried for breaking the state laws. It was the con.
census of opinion that these cases should be pressed to the limit
and an effort be made to secure convictions under state statutes,
and the offending places closed up under the Abatement Law. :"
County Prosecuting Attorney A. R. McMicken is actively
proceeding in the prosecution of the men against whom the state
that he will be able to make a cleanup in this city that will long
be remembered.
County Attorney McMicken is receiving and will continue
to receive the active support of the people Of Rawlins in his ef-
forts towards enforcing the laws of the state. M

The hole was measured and found

TOLSTOI PREDICTS
RED RAID ON POLAND
Count Tells of Million Men
Ready for Invasion Possibly
Also of Rumania.

Special Gable TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, by THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Feb. 22.
The Bolsheviki have concentrated an
army of 100000 men on the western
front OF these 100000 are massed
against Poland and plans are under
way for increasing this number by
calling up three new classes. which
will bring the total numbers of ef-
fective troops up to well over 1000
900. Within a few months the Red
troops will invade Poland and per-
haps also Rumania. They will be sup
ported by Germany and probably will
be victorious. Then after they have
formed an alliance with Germany and
Jugo-Slavia, France and England will
no longer be able to face the future
so serenely as now
This Is a prophecy made by Count Lee
Tolstoi, son of the Russian writer. wh0
to-day declares in the Journal that Boil
shevism has nothing in common with his
fathers principle of Socialism despite
Moscows attempt by celebrating the
tenth anniversary of Count Tolstol :
death to convince the public that the
abyss between Christian Socialism and
savage despotism is not so great as de-
picted
THE world is menaced with another
war" the younger Count Tolstoi in
sists. "It is no longer possible to doubt
that the Reds are preparing great
offensive for the springtlme, an often
sive which moreover they are Obliged
TO begin because unless they keep their
troops on a warefootinS the power oil
Bolshevism will begin to wane l am
convinced that the moment the troops
are enabled to regain their farms
and homes Sovietism will break down
because it will lack the blind fidelity
which Moscows iron discipline insists
upon"
Count Tolstoi summarizes the mill
tary potentiality thus: on the front be-
tween Moscow and Petrograd forty-five
divisions have been formed. Moscow
alone housing fifteen divisions. The
total concentration on the Western front
exceeds 10000 with reserves. In the
Caucasus another 10000 are menacing
Persia and the British possessions in
India The Bolshevists, moreover. must
be considered the masters in Turkestan
where missions in Bokhara. Pamir and
Kabul. acting under direct instructions
from Moscow, are intriguing against the
British.
Three hundred thousand men divided
between the Rumanian and Lithuanian
frontiers provide strong supports for the
we'll equipped. highly trained hordeS
which are only awaiting the signal tc
attack Poland and the rest of Europe.
Count Tolstoi is of the opinion Boil
shevism can he conquered by exterior
force and suggests that the Allies or
ganize a volunteer army such as that
envisaged by the German General staff
last year TO capture Petrograd and Mos
COW and crush once and for all the
Soviet movement. But he Is unwilling
TO use German troops for this, as he be
lieves the evidence 70 be almost con.
elusive that they are sympathetic vito
the Russian effort to conquer POLAND
and are anxious TO have the opportunity
TO share in the territorial loot which the
downfall of the Polish regime would
