SHERIDAN EDITOR HERE

]. L. (Roy) Rosenberg. city editor
of the Sheridan Post paid Rawllns a
visit Sunday night which was re-
grettably short. this being due to the
fact that he was making a hurried
vacation trip to his former home at
Kemmerer, where he will visit with
his family for a few days. Mr.. Rosen-
berg came across country with
Charles Miller and Gus Fleischli in
record time Sunday and late that
evening made close connections with
a late westbound train.
The railroad journey from Sheri-
dan to Kemmerer involves a round
about ride through either South Da-
kota and Nebraska. or II the western
route is taken. through Montana and
Idaho so several days time was
saved by the long automobile ride.
Mr.. Rosenberg is a son Of ]. P.
Rosenberg, one of the old timers in
Lincoln county and at present the
for the county. He is an
~ex-service man with overseas expert
ence to his credit and has been very
successful In his newspaper work at
Sheridan since removing there three
years ago.

FROM OLD RUBBISH DUMP

WAen making excavations for a
new building ON the Union Pacific
right Of way on the south side of the
track, near the old club house, the
OF the week, workmen made a
discovery which has
q great deal OF local specula-
ton. Evidently the ground where
the digging was done had been in the
past the location Of an old dump, for
. miscellaneous assortment Of old
junk was uncovered, consisting of old
bottles, cans and other partial
ly decayed rubbish.
The mysterious part Of the incl
dent was the finding Of human bones,
which nobody seems t. be able to &C
count for. Broken parts Of the skull
and a few bones, said by physicians
to have been those OF a young woman
were unearthed but careful search
failed to reval the remainder of the
These gruesome relics are
now in possession of the sheriff.
Another interesting thing was
an ancient style OF rifle, with
the barrel and all metal parts deeply
encrusted with rust but the wooden
stock scarcely decayed and an equal
ly rusted pair Of handouts. These
were pre-empted by some Of the
souvenir-hunting spectators and
have been lost. Further investiga-
lions are being made.

Three MEN MADE
Plea OF GUILTY
TIDBALL DURING SHORT COURT
SESSION FIXED SENTENCES FOR
Three CRIMINALS

During Judge Tidball's short ses-
sion Of the district court which was
held the latter part of the week and
which was devoted largely to routine
matters. three criminals faced him
with pleas of guilty and were sen
'enced.
Harry J. Lesson. the hard boiled
yegg who. on the night of July Goth.
held up and robbed A. S. Tibbetts. a
Denver travelling salesman. who was
driving from Laramie westward on
the Lincoln Highway. appeared and
entered a plea of guilty to highway
robbery with a weapon, and was sen
fenced to a term in the penitentiary
OF not less than seven nor more than
twelve years. The victim of the thug
was present In case he was needed
and had the satisfaction OF hearing
Lesson get his needings.
Joseph Needham and Jefferson
Byrnes. alias Smith. who. with the
wife of the former. were passing
through Rawlins On a transcontinent-
al tout which began in Rhode Island.
and who on the night Of July 26 en-
tered the store of the Auto Goods Co.
and stole two cord tires and tubes.
were sen to the pen" for not less
than one nor more than two years on
a charge Of burglary. the sentence
being made light in consideration of
a plea of guilty which saved the
county the expense OF a trial.
Bill Williams, a colored man, who
about two months ago took a shot at
his better half, at which time he
fortunately proved himself a poor
marksman. appeared in court repre-
sented by Attorney A. J. Roster. and
the charge against him reduced to
common assault, this action having
been taken at the earnest request of
the prosecuting witness. He pleaded
guilty to this and was sentenced to 80
days in Jail. which. In addition to the
time already served there, will, in the
opinion OF the court. make the pun
ishment fit the crime"

Last Thursday Afternoon, quietly
and without blare Of trumpets. one
Of the most portentous events in the
history Of Rawlins took place. when
natural gas from the Mahoney Dome
in the Rawlins oil fields, was turned
into the city mains.
For many months this gigantic I'M
dertaking has been under way and
vast sums OF money have been in
vested in the enterprise by the hold
ers of the franchise. the Rocky Noun

Inns has taken a long step forward in
the race for leadership among Wyom-
ing municipalities by acquiring an
inexhsustible supply of fuel, having
the manifest advantages which natur-
al gas possesses over any other kind
of material for heating.

match between Big jim Shirley. OF
Denver and George Manley. of
Pueblo, sponsored by and for the
benefit OF the Rawlins Volunteer Fire
Department.. at the Old Opera House.
There has been some doubt ex-
pressed as to the capacity of this
building when 1t comes to holding
the crowd which is sure to assemble
&c see this fistic affair. which is Of
the very highest caliber. Manley has
already made his rep" locally and
has many friends and hackers who
are sure that he will take home the
bacon, as he Is known to carry a
haymaker in either mitt and to be a
shifty scrapper.
or Shirley, a correspondent in
Denver, who has watched his career
for the three years, says: Three
years ago. a likely looking heavy
weight boxer graduated from the
Denver Athletic Clubs annual tourn-
ament. He had the earmarks of a
coming ring star. Since that time he
has uniformly been a success in the
hempen arena as a professional
socker. This young chap is Big Jim
Shirley. Denver's best bet for heavy
weight biting laurels. He recently
came into the spotlight in the Mile
High city by fighting a fast Ground
draw with Willie Keller. a Pacific
coast entry who had boxed some Of
the leading big fellows of the coun-
try, including Tommy Gibbons.
Manley's friends point out hat he
has never been knocked u or lost
a decision and that he can work on
the receiving end II need be and take
'em any place from the belt to the
eyebrows. So there you are. Better
be on hand and see the fuss.

the primary election q week ago Tues
day was officially canvassed yester-
day by the board as provided by law,
consisting of Mrs. Malinda Karst,
county clerk. and Justices of the
Peace Dunlap and Beeler. The off,
cial count conducted by the Board
did not materially affect the result
as announced in The Republican last

It will be noted that practically all
of the contests for nomination were
within the Republican party, this be-
ing especially noticeable In the race
for county offices, where the Repub-
,licans had two contests while the
Democrats had no contests at all.
Carbon county cast q splendid vote
for Frank ". Mondell, who had no
competitor for u. 8. Senator, but
this expression OF confidence 10 very
gratifying to his friends as indicating
how he will fare In November. In
the remarkably close fight for the
gubernatorial nomination, which was

the winner . majority Of 249.

test had three entries. Carbon stood

slight margin over Hinkle, while

usual interest was that for the Re-
publican congressional nomination,
which was considered equivalent to

Reynolds was pitted against Charles

gave Reynolds o MA5es1ty Of 80 vo4es.
