Scrambled Marriage
Situation

SHERIDAN.-A lively marriage
divorce squabble with Interstate
complications has bobbed up in
Mrs. Margaret Houston-Bonawitz Is
the wife of John Houston. the wife
OF Jack Bonawitz. the wife Of both,
or the wife of neither.
1t all came about when the m
the first week in September got a
divorce from John Houston, alleg-
ing "cruel and inhuman treatment"
The next day she and Jack Bona
witt were married in Hardin and
came back to Monarch to live. Last
Thursday. she had Bonawitz fined
in justice court for beating her. and
since that time she is said to have
resumed her abode in the Houston
cottage.
She has expressed the desire to
re-marry Houston and it all sim
mers down to this: In Montana
she is the wife OF Bonawitz because
under Montana laws she is legally
married to him; while In Wyoming.
although she is not the wife of
Houston because she divorced him.
neither is she the wife of Bonawitz
because she DID not wait a year
after her divorce before she married
him.
On the other hand, she can not
divorce Bonnwitz in this state be-
cause she was never legally mar
ried to him, but according to the
officers investigating tho case. she
is not free to re-marry Houston be-
cause she is married to Bonawitz in
Montana.

Old Shootin' Iron

LARAM1E.-Last spring. while
doing some surveying work. Forest
Ranger Frank e. Henry of the Fox
park district of the Medicine Bow
national forest found an old cap-and-
hall pistol which apparently had
some value from a historical point.
The wooden handle had entirely dis
appeared and rust had made such
inroads on the gun that no marks
were decipherable, with the excep-
ton of a number 1913 on the handle
1t differed from the original Colts
cap-and-bal pistols in hat the ram
rod was worked by the trigger
guard swinging downward on n
hinge. whereas the Colts ramrods
are operated by a rod which swings
out to the side.
The gun vas sent to the Denver
forest office and Chief of Mainte.
nance Neeper took It to a Denver
gunsmith. Leo Knapp. who hap
pened to have a gun Identical with
the n found by Ranger Henry.
1t was manufactured by Allen &
Wheelock. Worcester. Mass. patent
dated january 10 and December 15.
1857. and Mr.. Knapp vas OF the
opinion hat less than 1000 Of these
particular guns were manufactured.
The forest officers of the Medicine
Bow forest are collecting original
historical data. and discoveries of
this character give an index of the
time Of occupancy of certain por-
tons of the forest 1t may very
easily be that tho found by
Ranger Henry was lost by a mem

Fsideraticn If the term 'social con-
 ,dition" is analysed it will be found
 that all social activity ig dependent
 upon the gathering of people fol some common purpose. It is not diff Ilficult therefore to see the connection
 between desirable social conditions land the improvement of public roads
 Soclal institutions, such as schools
 churches and public amusements arc
 more or less subjects of valuation in (any community but they are by nc
 means the complete measure of social conditions. Social activities in rural ties need all the enc rage ment and stimulus that can ressoncb- , ly be givc14. All social activities take
 time and energy and the country road
 condition therefore is a prime con- sideration to enable farmers and their families to afford time for social in tcrcourse. Good roads would greatly lessen crime and elevate citizenship What light does to break up crime cen ters in the cities, good reads will do in the country.
 The drift of the country population to the city is certainly to be deplored and a way to explain this drift is often Good roads alone can turn the tide of cityward movement back to the farm
 The beneficial effects of the rural free delivery service upon the happi- mess and home comforts of our rural population have become established facts, and nothing contributes so much to it's efficiency and regularity as good roads.
 There are about forty five thousand delivery routes with an average length of about twenty four miles each. The cost per mile travelled by the carrier could be greatly reduced and the length of many of the routes could be increased if the roads were generally improved. In. many instances the Post Office Department has found it to discontinue rural routes b. cause of the impossible condition of the roads,
 In Italy it used to be said "All roads lead to Rome," In this day in America it should be said "all roads lead to the farm"

THROTTLE STUCK AND
CAR SPEEDED ON AND ON

Everything touched gave her
more gas was the plea of an Elko
motorist who was apprehended in
Elko during the week by an officer
who pursued the fugitive for two
miles at breakneck rate before
overtaking him. The mans plea
won him his liberty in the justice
court and he was released and ad-
monished to refrain from shatter-
ing local speed records.
From all accounts the driver of
the car was trying out a newly ac-
CURED touring car. The gas throt-
tie apparently stuck, and the man,
was unable to retard the flow of gas,
and too excited to turn the switch
which would break the electrical
circuit and stop the car. All he did
was to sit tight and keep the car
in the middle of the road. Specta-
tors declare that the auto was
travelling at least sixty miles an
hour. Occupants of machines who
saw the approaching car thought
that Barney Oldfeld, or Bud Bodell,
were trying for new records for a
cross country trip, and he was given
the right-of-way without any ques-
tons being asked. Several cars ap-
preaching intersections swerved just
in time to miss the mad rush OF
the car, and scores of complaints
against the wild driving have been
lodged since the man appeared in
court.-Elko Independent.

RECORD LAMB CROP
REPORT OF SHEEPMEN

The Lamb crop of Nevada this
year, according to reports being re-
ceived from sheep growers, will
probably be one of the largest on
record, owing to the favorable range
and weather conditions which have
prevailed for the last several months,
and especially during the birth sea-
son. "A number of large growers
claim that the yield in western and
central Nevada is now exceeding one
hundred per cent, some owners re-
porting yields from large bands
averaging as high as one hundred
and twenty per cent. In selected
bands, enclosed in sheds, births run
ming up to one hundred and fifty
per cent of the adult animals have
been reported.
One consequence of the high lamb
production, in connection with the
high wool and lamb market, will be
that growers will be in position to
vastly improve their focks, accord
ing to those closely in touch with
the sheep situation.-Elko Free
Press.
