RAWLINS TOLD
OF CHANCE @
CAVALRY TROOP

Recruiting 65 men for one and
n half hours of drill weekly,
Rawlins will be able to secure a
permanent machine gun troop which
will add approximately $4,000
year to the income of this commun-
ity. Captain Kram% Thomas of
Fort Russell, D. o. l.. spent Tuesday
in Rawlins at the request of the
Rotary club, telling Just what should
be done to secure governmental
recognition and advising informally
with several local men interested in
getting such an organization started
in this city. Captain Thomas po-
sition and that OF his organization
is purely q disinterested one, the Of
ficer being detailed merely to in
spect such local units after they
have been developed, that they may
then secure the recognition Of the
United States government under the
National Defense act of 1920 which
authorizes a national guard as the
second line OF defense.
Wyoming, under its present allo-
cation authorized by the war de-
partment. may develop m cavalry
regiment, one machine gun squadron
less n company, and four smaller
units. The cavalry regiment now ex-
lists and upon request from the war
department that the remaining I'M
organized portion of Wyoming's
quota be cut down. ertrts are being
made to develop the machine gun
squadron and q brigade h%eadquart-
ers troop. The latter will probably
go in at Casper, and Rawlins is ap-
parently in line for one troop of SIS
men on part time and all necessary
equipment. This will make Wyom-
ing National Guard about 80 per cent
organized and the remaining 10 per
CEN will follow later, 1t Is thought.
approximately 100000 worth Of
equipment will be put in here II

later to be raised to IS men and
4 officers as the minimum permanent
strength. Thirty two mounts will
be kept here, and the equipment will
feature six heavy Browning Ma
chine guns. New uniforms will be
issued those enlisting.
Drill will be held weekly for one
and one half hours the pay to be one

the various ranks. Several business
men Of Rawlins are making efforts
to get the move started in this city,
and 1t is thought that the property

a .32 automatic and commanded q
halt. Both men ran In opposite d.
rections and Smiley was fired upon.
He halted but saw that Kiefer was
struggling with a jammed gun and
renewed his flight.
Sheriff Sanders, called t. the
scene by a private citizen. took mp
the search, finding Smiley inside a
residence. Every occupant happened
to be out when Smiley made his
hasty entrance
James HILL hid out in Rawlins
ing a virtually new Studebaker
ing. He filed with gasoline at Elk
Mountain, hoping to enter Laramie
by a side road, but was directed
back upon the Highway. 1t was
known at the penitentiary that q
relative OF Hill owned a garage in
a Montana town, n the route
taken by the convict checked up with
this theory, although every avenue
OF escape was covered. Sherifs
and deputies in hat direction were
very active due to a $4,000 reward
on the man. Yesterday afternoon
Hill got stuck in the mud neal
Yoder and was approached by the
deputy at that point. Hill ran: pe-
fused to halt at command; and was
shot by the officer.
Smiley had served rather more
than 4 year upon a Is year sentence.
and Hill had but IS month"; still 10
go on a 4 to 5 year hitch. Their
little play at freedom viii go hard
with the two when they are return
ed to the ~penitentiary; for under the
demerit system this will make their
release nearer the maximum q n
tence than it would otherwise have
been. Their action also wins for
them the stripped garments reserved
only for those who a at n time
attempted escape.
