Memory of
Tribune Boy
Not Taxed

Compared to . position as n deck
hand on a submarine or the sine
cure of sitting in On a directors
meeting and voting yourself divi-
dends, the existence of a Tribune
carrier boy is a life Of roses. Few
II any of them would trade Jobs.
The carrying business. as far as
the Tribune Is concerned. has be-
come SO simple that u Is almost
ridiculous.
In days gone by. when the daily
circulation was considerably below
It's present mark. the boys had to
at least have a good memory 10
keep in mind the houses on their
routes where they left papers and
where they missed.
Since the recent campaign was
lnaugurated to Increase circula-
ton. all that is necessary is to
start a boy on a route rs to 80
blocks long and tell him the three
houses he should not leave papers.
Right now the Tribune circula.
ton has the town covered like a
blanket. A recen newspaper cen.
indicated that nine out of
every 10 people In Casper read the
Tribune regularly and the other
n reads 1t systematically.

DE TECT|VE' IS
GIVEN 60 DAYS
At LOCAL TRIAL.
Smith, Who Fled With Reilly
From House In B Street,
Sentenced by Court

The trial Of A. F. Smith, CHARGED
with carrying concealed weapons. i'm
personating an officer. and creating n
disturbance. was held before Judge
John A. Murray last night. Smith.
1t will be remembered. fled with Ger
aid Reilly. alias David Blair, from a
house at 229 West B street on We'd
nesday evening. In which flight Reil-
ly was shot down by the police Of
ficer in performances OF duty. after
wards cying at a local hospital.
When the trial before Judge Muir
ray was concluded last night tho mag
istrate assessed Smith a fine of 500
and sentenced him to sixty days in
Jail.
The hearing opened with Smith
pleading guilty to the charge of
carrying concealed weapons but
pleading not guilty to the other
charges. The testimony was drawn out
TO the period CT an hour. with an at
tempt on the part of the defense to
influence of liquor wnen he entered
the house on West B street.
From the statements brought out
It seems that n friend of Smiths
name Pearson had been in the house
on B street and nad discovered a IT.
year-old girl, who Pearson claimed
was he'd against her Will. He spoke
of the matter to Smith two or three
days. before the visit which resulted
in the fatal shooting of Smiths ac-
complete.
It also seems that Smith has for
some time possessed a Pickering am
bition to be a private detective. He
had sent SIS to a supposed detective
agency -in--Brandcn.- Ore. according
to his own words. and a recelvee
for this amount of money a certifi-
cate declaring him to be a private
detective and member OF the agency.
On wednesday afternoon the de-
PENDANT had purchased a revolver
and on the day following he was in
ten6lng to go cut in the country on a
disappearing job. according to the
witnesses.
He concluded on Wednesday eve
ming hat he would visit z2s West b
street and rescue the 17.year-old gir,.
Wether he was just gong to talk TO
her and urge her to leave or was go
ing to take her out on the great wide
range with him is a point that is
still a little bit vague.
Although Smith stated last night
that his conversation with Esther
Nelson, the proprietor OF he house
was n very pleasant one. the Nelson
woman thought differently and was
very emphatic in her statements that
Smith had swore at her. had shook
his fist in her face, had shown her
his certificate from the detective
agency. and had in other ways triec'
to scare her.
You're no detective or you
wouldn't get hard like that" h
woman said to Smith. according TO
her testimony in court.
She denied having charge OF a II
year.oid girl and gave Smith the priv
i,ege OF soarching the rooms If he de-
sired to do SO. rho only other inmate
OF the house. said Esther Nelson was
the girl about as old as herself who
was Ill at the time
When Smith and Reilly refused TO
leave the house the Nelson woman
went out and called in the officers
Sefore whom the intrucers fed.
