Men ACCUSED OF
ROBBING STORE
EASTERN TOURISTS ARRESTED AT
GREEN RIVER CHARGED With
BURGLARIzING STORE HERE

Sheriff Sanders returned Sunday
from Green River. having in custody
a man giving the name of Smith.
with various initials. but whose real
name is undoubtedly Byrnes, and MI.
and Mrs. Joseph Needham. All are
charged with burglary, although the
woman is merely detained as a ma
tcrial witness as'Shc gives a good &C
count of herself and it is thought
that she was ignorant of the theft
alleged to have been committed by
her husband and Smith. or Byrnes.
They are accused of burglary com
mittcd last week wednesday, wheI
the Auto Goods company store vas
entered in the night and two cord
tires and inner tubes stolen. After
being returned from Green River the
men were lodged in the county Jail
and will be held until officers arrive
from Rhode Island with requisition
papers for at least one of them as the
Cadillac limousine, in which they
passed through Rawlins was stolen
at Cranston in that state. according
10 a telegram received by the
sheriff.
Tn" original license had been re-
rOvCd from the car and one from
West Virginia substituted. and this
was changed after leaving ltawlin5
and a Connecticut plate put on in
stead. The cngin" number and 9TH
er marks of Identification were
either removed or altered. No ac-
ton will be taken by tn" Carbon
County officers until receipt of COM
plete information from the Gene of
the theft of the car as it is possible
that they may be able to make resti-
tuition for the local theft II be
turned over to the Rhode Island po-
lice for punishment, thereby effect
ing a saving to this county of the eX-
nenSo of trial.

The attention of Police Justice
Dunlap and City Attorney Roster was
given for an hour or so to a scrap
which occurred a few days & be-
tween Bernice Stewart. defendant,
and Hattie walker, complaining wit
ness. The trial resulted in Bernice
irawing a $40 fine and Hattie get
ing a mild lecture from the court in
which she a admonished to try and
get a strange hold on her temper.
which is inclined to be peppery.
The two ladies' are neighbors and
have in the past been fairly good
friends, although Bernice admitted
that there was an occasional rift in
the lutte, during which they avoided
each others society. Bernice stepped
over to Hattie's bungalow and asked
to use the telephone, which Hattie
said was "out OF order" Knowing
full well that telephones in Rawlins
never get that way Bernice tripped
lightly on her homeward way tossing
the remark over her shoulder that
Hattie was a blankety-blank liar.
This u%nladylike language percip-
itated some daylight fireworks in
which hair-pulling. biting and verbal
p~yrotechnics figured prominently
Hattie called in the claw" as she ex-
pressed it, and had her antagonist
lrrested. There was a cloud of wit
resses and a crowded court room. a
good time was had by all for even
the principals. who glared at each
other. could not restrain their mirth
md giggled as the story of the fight
was told and re-told.

ALL BIDS REJECTED FOR
COKEVILIE POOLED WOOL

All bids were rejected for the clips
offered Monday at the sealed bid
sale of the Lincoln county wool pool.
The sale has been discontinued, be-
cause it was seen that buyers and
growers were far apart in their ideas
of values. The committee in charge
of the pool Is considering the PROPOSE
ton of consigning the million pounds
In the pool to some eastern house to
be graded and sold when the market
is more favorable. Eight or ten of
the eastern wool dealers had repre-
sentatives at the sale. The high bid
Of 33 SIS cents was made by Jere-
miah Williams & Co., of Boston. The
high bid for the cheapest clip was
rs 1-8 cents. The prices offered yes
terday averaged about one-half cent
higher than was bid Tor the same
clips when offered a month ago, and
were amout on a par with the cur
rent quotations published in the Bos-
ton papers.

DESERTED WIFE;
ARRESTED AT WHEATLAND

A particularly sordid case Of fam
lily desertion, involving two wives left
destitute and the three innocent
children of one Of them, who were
taken by the erring husband, was
brought to the attention Of the
sheriff's office early in the week.
The principals in this eternal
triangle" r c. F. Johnson, q tour
list. who, with his family, consisting
Of q wife and three boys, aged 7, 10
and II years, respectively. have been
travelling along the Lincoln highway
and Mrs. Ardist Rule, a wife, who.
with her husband, was taking the
same route.
Both parties became acquainted
along the road somewhere in Colo
RADIO, according to the story told the
sheriff and had Travelled along to-
gether from Longmont, Colorado I'M
til Rawlins was reached. While en-
camped here the attachment, or In
fatuation, between johnson and Mrs.
Rule must have reached q climax for
she departed on the train and he
the family automobile.
1t Is supposed that the two met at
Laramie and proceeded from there In
the car. Mrs. Bertha johnson, the
deserted wife and mother called on
the county attorney and sheriff for
redress with the result that . de-
scription Of the home deserters was
sent out in all directions with the re-
suit that they were oon apprehend-
ed at Wheatland and the local Of
ficials notified. The Wheatland
sheriff 10 expected to arrive this
morning with the runaways in Gus
tody u. he was induced to assist the
Carbon county officers to this ex-
tent.

HIGHWAY ROBBER
ESCAPE Fooled
THUG Who Held UP AND INTIMIDATED
SALESMAN CAUGHT IN ATTEMPT
TO FILE JAIL BARS

Harry J. Lesson, the brutal thug
who held up a Denver travelling man
who had given him a ride, whose
sensational chase and capture was
told of last week. is still confined in
the county jail as yet unidentified,
although his mug" and finger
prints have been broadcasted in all
directions. He is thought to have a
criminal record and also suspected OF
having served time before.
Basing their suspicious on the
time of Lessons arrival in this part
Of the country and his style of doing
business, the officers are hoping to
connect him with the Nipple murder.
which was committed in or near
Greeley, Colorado, on the 18th. The
murder was particularly atrocious
and the car belonging to the MUIR
dered nan was found along the
road with the lights on and the en-
! CINE running. This circumstance
throws suspicion on Lesson, who is
unable to drive an automobile. as he
demonstrated in the Tibbits holdup.
Had he been a driver in the latter
instance he would undoubtedly have
either killed or wounded Tibbets and
then put as great a distance as pos
sible between himself and his crime.
Since his confinement in the coun-
ty Jail Lesson has made at attempt
to saw his way to freedom and SO far
succeeded as to cut through one bar
before the plot was discovered and
frustrated. He was then placed in
a cell by himself under double lock:
In the 'skin frisk" which preceded
this action $50 dollars of the money
which mysteriously disappeared on
the night of his arrest was found
carefully tucked in the waist band Of
his trousers.
Tuesday Lesson asked for an in
terview with Sheriff Sanders and the
request vas granted with the under
standing that he val to tell the
truth II he told anything. as his pre-
vious attempts to deny facts that
were absolutely undeniable had de-
termined the officers to have no
further communication with him I'M
til the time came for his trial. When
closeted with the sheriff Lesson
stated that he was ready and willing
to plead guilty to having robbed Mr..
Tibbetts at the point Of a gun but
not to having taken any money from
the latter. Just what the yegg
thought to gain by this modification
of his crime is not clear as 1t would
in no way lessen the gravity OF the
offense or reduce the penalty. He
wa told that the state did not care
particularly about his pleading guilty
las Q short trial would be all that
was necessary to get him the limit
anyhow.
, 1922-08-03

Since the enactment of the Wyom-
ing primary law there has never been
a time when the Republican party OF
the state presented to the electorate
for consideration as nominees Of the
party at the general election a strong
err and peter list OF names. The Re-
publican primary ticket from top to
bottom represents the best element
in the political life of our state and
presents a solid front to the opposi-
ton, with its assortment Of vagaries
and reckless factors, whose chief
claim to recognition is their desire
to wreck the existing order of things
and by so doing fOist themselves up
on the taxpayers as public officials.
The list of nominees who have
submitted their names to the Repub-
lican voters OF the State of Wyoming
and the County of Carbon for their
consideration as regular nominees Of
the party at the decisive election
which will be held in November next,
is n Of which the state and county
may we'll be proud. 1t has been the
earnest effort of the state and county
managers of the Republican party to
follow closely the spirit and intent
of the Primary law and and to pro-
cure the filing of at least n worthy
representative for each office to be
filled. and not to resort to the sub
terfuge of leaving vacancies to be
filled later.
This course Is in some cases neces-
sary but its deliberate choice destroys
the purpose of the law and brings
about a condition far worse than the
former convention system, the abuse
of which by bosses" brought about
the present imperfect method of Sc
lection, a method which leaves much
to be desired, and which will prob
ably be revised and improved by the
next legislature.
