Wild DAYS AHEAD
FOR CITY FOLKS
Fred DUNCAN POST, AMERICAN Leg
ION, TO BRING BACK Wild
DAYS OF old WEST

1t Is said that the wild and woody
days of the west are gone; that no
longer do eagle eyed sheriffs e
dropping mustaches and shoot six
shooters from the hip; that lynching
parties went out of fashion with the
Virginia Reel and the square dance;
that the famous Cor n%otorious) Mr..
Volstead "crumbed the deal" and
made saloons, free lunches and brass
foot rails things of the far and dis
tant past; in other words that the
days of your are wet and gone
never to return.
But listen-if the old days have
gone they will soon be back, and
In Rawlins too, for the Fred Duncan

the final murder.
We know that there will be staged
in Rawlins a faithful duplication OF
the old western mining town OF
Brete Harris time and that as far as
possible the life OF that day will be
lived Eel again by the citizens OF
the new community. There may
even be a lynching party or two and
II is fairly certain that a sheriff

THIRD ALARM" tn Be
Shown At STRAND SOON
GREATEST SENSATION OF MOTION PICTURE WORLD
III BE PRESENTED HERE under AUSPICES
OF LOCAL fire DEPARTMENT

On Monday and Tuesday, May 18th
and Sth. the motion picture fans of
the city will have the opportunity
of witnessing what is said to be the
greatest motion picture sensation
ever presented the American public.
The title of the great production is
the Third Alarm" and advance re-
ports are agreed that everywhere the
Third Alarm" appeared it was hail
ed as the biggest and most fascinat-
ing picture ever filmed.
Aitho there is a beautiful story
carried to conclusion in the Third
Alarm the main strength in the
picture is in the vivid narration of
the events which fill the life of the
firemen of our country. In fact the
film to appear here Is dedicated to
the memory of Fire Chief Tom Reid
and to the Rawlins Volunteer Fire
Department and will be shown under
the auspices of that organization.
THE Third Alarm" tells of an
old fireman's devotion Ia his duty
and his loved ones; of a mothers
undying courage In the face Of ad.
versity, of q sons dauntless spirit
Il loyalty to his parents: of the
golden hours the kiddies play in the
fire station yard and the first cruel
blow to a discarded veterans heart,
Then comes great fire scenes-ths

the teeming city streets; the first

death and destruction; the frantic
rush of occupants to escape the on
slaught of the flames an inferno
with the flames leaping TOWARD the
star-lit heavens; the crash of a
great safe-the peril of the lovers
trapped mid the flames; the great
heroism of Dan Mcdowell in the
vital moment of his life and the
brave fire horse dashing through
a wall of flames with old Dan astride
his back. And then-the thrilling
rescue on the swaying scaling ladder
while hundreds looked on; the fran
tic father pleading while his dau-
ghter faces death in the fire; the
gratitude of the surgeon of the res
cue of his beautiful daughter; the
happiness of the old veteran as he
sees his equine pals turned to pasture
ment of a little family.
THE Third Alarm" is Emory
Johnson's greatest and most spec
tacular production and he has seen
to 1t that the humorous as well as
dramatic element is present in his
picture.
Ralph Lewis, playing the part OF
the veteran fire-fighter. Dan Nc
Dowell. is the outstanding star of an
all star cast.

Rawlins is certainly a regular hiv

Rawlins is certainly a regular hive
of industry.
To the north, south, east and
west new homes are springing up,
almost over night. Perhaps in no
other city in the state is the evidence
of a building boom more apparent
than in Rawlins. And a beginning
has just been made.
But not to the residential sections
alone is the building activity CON
fined. The business districts are
also the scene OF much activity.
On Fifth street is this particularly
true. Homer France, has started
the erection of a fine one story brick
store or office building and H. Lar
SEN, the contractor. has already
moved his Smith loading and ex-
cavating machine onto the site of
the new building, between McFar-
lands Grocery and The Rawlins
Garage. By the end of last week
the huge motor driven machine was
hard at work pulling huge scrappeI
loads of earth from the excavation
for the basement and loading the
earth directly into waiting wagons
which haul the loads to the corner
of fifth and Buffalo streets where
they are dumped into the excavation
caused by the moving of the Cliff
House. At this orner contractor
Larsen has been unloading brict
for the erection OF the new films
station to be erected there by tn,
Aero filling station. Here, too, tn,
work OF construction will be rushed
to completion. II. ]. eastman, VIII,
has been awarded the contract FOL
the contract for the remodeling o
the Cliff House will carry the worl
forward with all possible dispatch.
In a short time construction worl
will also start on the Daley Blocl
TO be erected on the vacant lot I,

So accustomed have become fight
fans in seeing nothing but the best
of boxing exhibitions that the Raw

necessary to match only the top
notchers in their respective divisions.
And the big Commiskey-Shepherd
fracus tomorrow night is Just such

1t Is not always advisable for a
newspaper in writing a story of a
future bout to make it appear too
certain that the argument will turn
out to be first class affair but the
card arranged for Friday night is
most certainly al exception.
In the first place both Commiskey
and Shepherd have ring records alb
solutely unequalled by the middle
weight fighters OF the Rocky noun

of previous bouts have made it
possible for the promoters to offer
sufficient inducement for a bout CT
