FINDS rRowLER m HOME

Last Sunday night shortly after IL
O'Clock when he returned home from
. New Years Watch Party. Geo. A.
Bible was considerably surprised to
BEE . mans feet sticking out from
under . bed.
Mr.. Bible ordered the owner of
the feet to get out from under the
bed. A boy about 16 years of age
crawled out and stood trembling be-
fore MIR. Bible. Mr.. Bible searched
the boy but failed to find a weapon
Of any kind upon him. The boy told
. pitiful story a Mr.. Bible started
to the City Hall with him. In fact,
when the boy broke loose and started
to run Mr.. Bible made no great eff
fort to catch him.
The next day one of Mr.. Bibles
children happened to look under the
bed where the boy attempted to hide
the night before. Seeing something
back In a corner he made a closer
examination and found a cheap .32
calibre revolver. fully loaded. The
probability ia that when the youthful
house-breaker found that he was dis
covered and not knowing whether he
was covered with a gun or not decid-
ed that hi had better leave his gun
under the bed and not try to use 1t.
Mr.. Bible states that after he
found that his prisoner was armed he
regretted very much that the boy
escaped from him.

FRAME-UP
CLAIMED

Recently the sheriff's office ir this
city arrested Red" Baker and G.. w.
Sergeant, charged with stealing an
automobile.
The two young men are quite well
known In this section. having been
employed here for some time as
truck drivers.
These men claim that they took
the automobile rs the result OF a
frame-up with the owner. Heying
the owner OF an almost new Nash
roadster, arranged with Sergeant for
the latter to come to Cheyenne and
take the Nash car Heying was to
collect the insurance on the car
while Sergeant WAS to have the car
to dispose of as he desired. Accord
ing to Sergeant he went to Cheyenne
and Heying turned the car over to
him. He drove the car to Laramie,
where he met Baker. They then dis
posed Of the Nash to g in
Laramie at a very low figure.
A few days since Sheriff Sanders
and deputies arrested Geo. Rowe,
charged with operating a still on his
place near Arlington. The stolen car
was found at this place and imme-
diately an investigation was started,
which connected Baker and Sergeant
with the theft Of the car. These
men implicated Heying.
Heying was arrested in Casper and
he along with Baker and Sergeant
are being held in Cheyenne under a
Federal charge.

degree only as each community ex-
ponds its energy in real constructive
work.
The Medicine Bow "cut-off" was
conceived by President Hartman and
when final surveys proved the feas-
ibility OF the project he was quick to
adopt 1t and only his untimely death,
followed by the world war has de-
layed Its completion. Now that the
Union Pacific has again started its
extension westward 1t is only a ques-
ton of a short time until it Is COM
pleted; probably just about time
enough for wise communities to ad-
Just plans and affairs to meet the
new conditions.
A little yer 179 miles Of the cut
OF have been finished and train serv-
ice established. Only about 1870
miles remain to be built to connect
the cutoff with the old line at Med
icine Bow. When this is finished
1t will mean that the Union Pacific
will make up east bound trains at
Rawlins with all the tonnage one
engine can start out of the yards and
with perhaps a helper for a short
distance out of FIT. Steele, would
probably be able to carry the entire
train through to Omaha with one
engine. Light freights out OF Raw
Inns could pick up enough loads of
Hanna Goa to fill out the train to
about 100 cars and 1t would have a
down-grade haul via the cutoff to
Missouri river points. East bound
trains would at least be able to
double the present train tonnage.

II the present plans are carried
out. and there seems little doubt that
they will. the kasoming Oil company
Will furnish the gas and the New
York Gas company will construct the
pipe line and convey the gas to the
CITY limits. There the Denver Gas &
Electric Light company will take up
the distribution.
The difficulties facing the Denver
Gas & Electric Light company are
greater than those offered by tho
construction OF the pipe line itself ac-
cording to experts who have been at
work upon the plan. A great many
sections Of the city are now without
any gas mains whatever.

1t is declared, will result in an enor-
nous increase in the demand for gas.

Beginning on section "a, township
26. North Range 88, thirty miles due
north OF Rawlins, imagine a gas pipe
line large enough to convey 10000
600 cubic feet of gas per day, running
southerly to a point between Rawlins
and FIT. Steele; thence easterly along
or near the Union Pacific Railway to
Laramie; thence southerly via FIT.
Collins and intermediate points to
Denver. The actual construction of
such a line has been anticipated for
some time and now the real event
seems assured for the New Year.
When 1t was announced some
months ago that a refinery was to be
built between Rawlins and Fl. Steele;
to be followed by construction Of a
80 mile gas line in a directly oppo-
site direction, the public was puzzled.
When the new gas line was complet-
ed to Casper and 1t was announced
that West & Hazlett were not selling
gas to the Midwest line, the public
became mystifed. But when the
knowing ones received direct infor-
nation that West & Hazlett would
build q gas line to Rawlins IL such
a line was wanted, then the the re-
finery and Denver gas line began to
take on form.
A gas line will be run into Raw
Inns from the refinery site sufficient
ly large to supply a city several times
its present population. including U.
P. shops and several large factories.
The line east will supply towns en-
route that may be reached by branch
lines. Laramie and its refineries
will be supplied with gas for power
and fuel. The first 200 miles have
to be at least 24inch pipe and from
there on to Denver the line will prob
ably be slightly larger. Announce
ment of the proposed line IL made by
D. F. Stackelbeck in the Denver
Post, as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL DIES
The many Rawlins friends of \

The many Rawlins friends Of Miss
Catherine Hagan we're grieved and
shocked Monday. when they learned
OF her death at the Memorial Hos
pital that morning at 1855.
This young lady was taken sick
about a week before her death, but
not believing that it was anything
serious a doctor was not called for
several days. When DR.. Kell was
called he Immediately diagnosed the
case as acute appendicitis, with the
probability that the appendix had al
ready broken. The girl was rushed
to the hospital where DR.. KeA, assist
ed by1aDr. Barber. performed an
operation. 1t was too late, however,
and the girl gradually became
weaker, passing away Monday morn
ing. January 2,-the 18th anniver-
)sary of her birth.
The deceased was born in Rawlins
January 1, 1908. At the time of her
death she was q member Of the
Freshman Glass of the Rawlins High
School.
The funeral was held from st.
Joseph's Catholic Church yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. Father Schel-
linger with Undertaken McNulty in
charge of the funeral. The Fresh
man Glass of the r. H. s. attended
the services in a body. Jimmie Ma
honey. Raphael McNeff, Frances
Murphy, Chas. Cook, Edward Quinn
and "B" Espy acted as pain bearers.
The. deceased is survived by her
mother, Mrs. Ellen Hagan. two BROTH
ers, James and John. and three sis
tiers. Rose, Agnes and Esther. She
was the second oldest child Of the
family.

Neither prophet nor the son of a
prophet Is necessary to forsee the
future extension movement OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
which steamed its first freight and
passenger train over it's new line into
Yoder. Wyoming on December 18th;
Notwithstanding recently published
statements to the effect that the new
railroad Is a branch line"
AS will be noted on the map above,
the "cut-on" starts at O'Fallon's In
Lincoln county. Nebraska, following
the water grade of the North Platte
river to Haig near the Wyoming line,
At this point temporary terminals
we're established before the war. Last
summer work was resumed and the
cutoff extended from Haig in a west
erly direction a distance Of % miles
to Yoder, Wyoming, which welcomed
the first train two weeks ago, The
Importance of this event Is evidenced
by the fact that Ut is practically the
only construction of new line under
taken by the Union Pacific in years.
Branch lines as feeders to the main
trunk are necessary adjuncts, but in
this case the branch" line when
finished automatically becomes the
Main Line. No town or city located
along the present main line has a
license to lull itself to sleep or de-
Jude its citizens IN the thought that
very important changes will not
transpire when the Yoder branch"
line IL completed. 1t will mean much
for good to every county touched
by either the old or new line; to that
, 1922-01-05

West bound trains, owing partly to a
uniform grade, would profit in great
err proportion, as can readily be fig
ured from the elevations shown along
both routes. The cutoff would be a
great saving in mileage, also.
Medicine Bow has an elevation OF
1884 feet.
Sherman Hill has an elevation of
S013 feet.
O'Fallons has an elevation OF
1898 feet.
Approximately 10O,0 900 tons OF
freight including rolling stock (18OO
cars) a. put through the Laramie
tunnel, part east and part west
bound. in a single day during the
war. On this basis it can be readily
seen that all west-bound tonnage
would have to be Lifted from ORAL
Ions elevation 293S feet) over Sher-
man Hill elevation of SO13 feet), a
net height OF 5075 feet-aImost a
mile high. West-bound freight over
the cutoff line from O'Fallons
elevation 1898 feet) would reach
Medicine Bow elevation 1854 feet)
at a net height OF 1926 feet-over a
quarter OF a mile less freight lift than
via Sherman Hill. The cutoff route
has a much more uniform grade all
the way than the old Line, therefore
permitting engines to handle much
greater train tonnage westward than
possible on the old line. In add.
ton to the economic factor. the cut
on follows the North Platte river

the Wallace property and ordered to

Of the hold-up.
Mr.. Lichstein states that he is I'M

hold-ups that will materially aid in
their capture as both wore black
masks. However, he is able to de-
scribe them a. to size and kind of
clothing they wearing at the
time of the hoid-up. It is believed
that these ho1d-ups have been around
Rawlins for some time as they EVIL
IDENTIFY knew where Mr.. Lichstein
lived, about what time he would be
coming home, the route he would
take and were also aware OF the fact
that he was in the habit OF taking his
cash money home with him at night
instead of leaving 1t at the Pool
Hall. The men evidently knew that
Mr.. Lchstein wouad have an excep-
uon9lly large amount OF money on
him owing 70 1t being payday.
Mr.. Lfchstein states that the hold
up who held the guns ON him seemed
to be the leader and that he was ap-
pArently quite experienced in his line
OF business - he showed no nervous
mes at all and knew exactly what he
wanted done. The smaller man,
however, was extremely nervous and
he trembled all over as he was go
ing through the victims clothes.
Immediately after the hold-up Of
hcers went to the piace where 1t took
place and in the snow they were able
TO follow the tracks of the hold-ups
across the street and onto the side

owing to there being SO many tracks

OF two mGp were also found in the

reached his home. but for some rea-
son changed their minds.
