The cornered gangman took a
chance. He ducked for the shelter of
the desk. tore open a drawer and
snatched out an automatic.
simultaneously the cowpuncher
pressed the button beside the door and
plunged the room In darkness. He
slde-stepped swiftly and without
noise.
A flash Of lightning split the black

Clay dropped to his knees and
crawled away. Another bolt, with Its
accompanying roar, famed out.
Still the westerner did not fire In an

target for his bullet was A plan had
come to him. In the blackness of that

ruffian as Durnnd on his soul.
The crash of the automatic and the
rattle of glass filed the room. Jerry.

LEAGUE TO SPEAK here AT
ODD FELLOWS HALL

laws will be the topic of discussion
next Saturday afternoon and e
ing when Captain Frank Gilbert,
legal counsel for the anti-saloon
league OF the western states, meets
with the city and county officials of

According to w. l.. Wade, super
intendent of the Wyoming Anti
saloon league, that organization is
bringing Captain Ebbert to Wyom-
ing in order to give the officials of
this state the benefit of his know
ledge and experience and with the
hope that he may be able to aid in
the solving Of the problems confront
ing the law enforcement officials OF
our counties and municipalities.
A conference will be called for
two O'Clock Saturday afternoon at

ment are also invited to be present.
In the evening Captain Gilbert will

his address THE Unfinished Battle

purposes OF the conference and mass
meeting Superintendent Wade says:
NO responsibility Is placed on the
officials OF city, county or state by
his coming but we do want that all
shall get all the help possible from
the visit. At the evening meeting
1t will be our aim and purpose to en-
list the citizens for closer coopera-
ton with the officials in their eff
forts to enforce the Prohibition law.
We come only to help and to serve
and we hope you and all other offic-
ials OF your city to whom we extend
an invitation through you, will be
present at both meetings, but es-
pecially at the Conference. where we
hope your problems and questions in
regard to the enforcement OF the
Prohibition law will be stated clearly
and frankly In hopes that Mr..
Gilbert may be able to present n
legal solution at least TO many of
them.
"Mr. Gilbert has held similar con-
f%erences in many of the states and
from all we receive reports OF their
being most helpful. We offer this
assistance simply as citizens inter-
ested In the honest enforcement OF
our laws. and u program will be.
not to criticise but to help and we
ask your cooperation In the interest
OF honest and efficient law enforce
ment.

Dan Cowden. of this city, narrow
ly escaped death at the Lincoln
Highway reilroad crossing Thurs
day when a Union Pacific train
struck the truck he was driving and
all but broke it in two.
1t seems that Dan had Just load

see the approaching train until it
was too late. The engine caught
the truck %squarely in the middle and
when Cowden "got out from under"
he found hat his motor vehicle had
completely 'swapped ends"
Dan considers himself the luckiest

WOOL YARDAGE
IN GREAT DEMAND
FIRST NATIONAL BANK Of BOSTON
SAYS WOODEN MILLS RUM.
ing TO CAPACITY

Carbon County Wool Growers are
viewing with considerable satisfac-
ton authentic word from the eastern
manufacturing centers to the effect
that the sale of wooden goods is I'M
usually good. Such news Of a
heavy demand for wool products can
ony mean that wool dealers and wool
manufacturers will be eager to pur-
chase the western wool clip and that
competition will mean good prices
for the wool purchased.
The First National Bank Of Bost-
on in that institutions New Eng
land Letter" holds an optimistic
view of the country's industrial con-
dition, saying:
Judged by almost any index,
trade in the United States is highly
satisfactory as to volume as well as
profits. Bank clearings are running
about 25 per cent higher than last
year; freight traffic is enormous,
with transportation delays becoming
more and more burdensome; steel
production is at its maximum; many
Industries, including textiles and
motors, have never been buster: and
building construction is limited only
by the labor and material supply
Real unemployment has entirely
vanished. 1t is n rare thing to find
an industry which is not operating
substantially full time and at a pro-
fit. Many mills and factories are
running overtime"
After reviewing the Iron and Steel
market. raw silk and silk goods.
paper and pulp. cotton and cotton
goods. motor vehicles. hides. leather
and footwear, The First National
Bank of Boston. discusses at length
the situation in the wool markets
Of the east.
"Woolen manufacturers have
sold very large yardages OF goods.
and this has in turn, resulted In a
noticeable change for the better in
the raw wool market. General bust
ness conditions appear to be inner
emily sound and the wooden goods
market stabilized by a general in
crease in wages In the textile field.
The largest cloth factor reports 100
per cent capacity occupation for the
first time In the history of the COM
pany with night shifts in prospect
soon. Sales of goods have been so
heavy that some observers are APP
prehersive OF over-production, with
n congequent setback. A natural de-
terront to business exists in the
matter of high costs. which Is cnus-
ing moro or less extra financing.
This fact. combined with the reia-
lively lower prices for foreign than
for domestic wool. has caused deal
ers to slowly in contracting the
row clip. with
shc7rlng becoming more general,
however, 1t is expected that the
movement OF the clip will be ac-
c~eigIalel."
