A young man. two girls and .
badly discolored I'VE were the three
items OF interest in the city police
court last Saturday morning.
II appeared from the rather IN
savory evidence introduced that on
or about four O'Clock in the morning
nf the hearing the male defendant
terminated a lengthy and heated
argument by driving his fist into the
right eye Of girl No. 1. Whereupon
girl No. 2 stepped to the phone and
sent In . hurry up call to police
headquarters. TWO officers arrived
on the scene OF combat and the
parties were placed under arrest on
the charge Of disturbing the peace.
The two girls plead not guilty and
the combAtive visitor plead guilty.
City Magistrate r. r. Watson
fined each Of the defendants fifty
dollars and costs - the maximum

THIRD ALARM" GREAT FILM

Probably no other picture has At
trscted moro favorable comment
among local motion picture fans than
has the Third Alarm screened un-
der the auspices of the Rawhns
Fire Department at the Strand The
afro last Monday and Tuesday wen
angs.
The vast crowds which thronged
che Strand both nights were more
than pleased with the spectacular
production and the Rawlins Fire De-
partment is to be congratulated for
bringing a picture Of this character
to the city.
1.-THE Third Alarm" Is not mere
~ a gigantic production replete with
wonderful fire scenes and thrilling
rescues-but is more than that. A
faithful p%ortrayer Of the life of a
fireman the picture depicts the dan
gers and the part played in the
Protection OF life and property.
There is a beautiful story and whole
some humor interweaves the plot
along with moments Of touching pa
thos and SORROW. Probably there has
never been filmed a more pathetic
scene than that of the veteran fire
mans farewell to his equine pals
of the fire department.
The American public, through
1.-The Third Alarm" Is being &C
quainted with her firemen. We hope
that every man, woman. boy and
girl in the country will be given
the opportunity Of viewing this
great picture.

WON'T PLEAD GUILTY WHEN
TN NOT ~OCRNT'-R

The words innocent and guilty
mean one and the same thing TO
Robert Elliott, q cobored gentleman
who was given a preliminary hear
ing before Justice of the Peace E.
r. Watson ast Saturday morning.
According TO the testimony intro
duced and admitted by the dusky
hued defendant, that gentleman was
found the owner OF two pieces of
light artillery which until recently
lay undfsturbed beneath the counters
of the Hays-Hilliard Hardware store.
A night raid occurred a short time
ago and the two guns in Mr.. Elliott's
possession swelled the total Of those
recovered to three.
When Sheriff Sanders informed
the colored gentleman, Saturday,
that he had better fess up and plead
guilty Robert merely laughed at the
idea. mo sah." says he, II amt
gonna plead guilty Of something for
which I'm not innocent-would

Court or the County Attorney had
an answer to this most amazing
question.
Anyway Mr.. Ellott's several and
conflicting stories of "howcome
them there guns" failed to convince
the Justice of the Peace of his in
nocence and he was bound over to
the October term of the district
court under bonds of 100000.
And still Roberts question re-
mains MISUNDERSTANDING you plead
guilty when you're not innocent!
