Big Still Is Found

County officers late last Satur-
day located a 40-gallon capacity still

hospital and, through statements
made by the present tenants, have
incriminated Charles McDermottt. a
one-armed man well known in this
city.
Sheriff Sanders placed this man
under arrest and is now in posses

signed by McDermott.
McDermott is now in the county

LIONS To HAVE
FEAST Tonight

Roar, Lion, Roar! For when is it
more fitting hat the king Of the
Jungle voice his eXultation than
when he is feasting? And tonight
at the Ferris hotel nearly 100 Lions
and their guests will assemble at
what has come to be known as the
first annual banquet of the local or
~ganization.
Somehow our favorite picture OF
a lion is that i (which the king of
beasts Is standing with one front
foot on its kill, looking eXultantly
into the eyes of the world. And
while a group of representative bust
ness men in an hour of relaxation
modifies this picture almost toe
much for the resemblance, still comes
to mind the important efforts of this
local organization during the past
year, efforts which win to the club
its right to be just a bit eXultant at
this, its first annual kill.
The entertainment committee re
ports that the program vii Indeed be
eyultant. Ttlks have been arranged
for by DR.. James A. Fraser and u.
r. Higley which bid fair to set the
gathering into a turmoil of approval.
Many other features of entertainment
have been prepared; "A bit OF
serious thinking which oftentimes
characterizes the weekly meeting of
Lions will be tolerated. And, of
course. there will be dancing, aided
and abbetted by Brandie's orchestra,
Those who do not care for dancing
will find many ways in which to
make the evening n to be remem.

that this will be more than worthy

The Virginian to
Be Shown at Strand

Ii Carbon county can boast of hav-
ing contributed anything to the dra-
matte or artistic wealth Of this ma
ton it is that contribution made
historic by owen Wister when he
wrote The Virginian." To the
screen version, which is scheduled TO
appear at The Strand Theatre here

can just as readily point, saying
Here, dear world, is a bit of u
own county made visual for your in
formation and delight; take it, and
come to understand this great com
~monwealth that is wyoming
The value of this setting for the
film has been pointed out by many
critical publications. In the Moving
Picture World one may find this:
"The settings deserve special
praise. There are wide, command
ing views of the cattle ranges, ex-
pertly photographed and lending
great picturesqueness to the action.
The entire cast is excellent. 1t IS a
fine b~oX-office offering.
Kenneth Harlan plays The Vir-
ginian' with a feeling that few can
resist. Tom Forman, the director,
has given the production everything
that the public expects in a first
ate attraction. In atmospheric
flashes of comedy, conflict, friend
ship and romance he has colored the
important incidents of the story.
Above all, the picture is strong in
human feeling.

RAWLINS TEAM

visitors, but the score was never so
favorable to one side or the other
that spectators lost interest because

Rotary and Lions clubs were gener-
ously represented among the rooters.
since announcements were made at
the last meetings of each civic or
ganization.
During the first half Laramie
| played a more nearly aggressive
game and kept the score dangerous
ly close. The half ended to the
count OF II to 9, in favor of the
home team. Both teams used the
two-arm throw with considerable
~deadliness, but the Rawlins quintet
demonstrated its slight superiority
by being more successful in work
ing the ball down for short tries be
meath the hoop rather than for long
side shots. Young Pierce. formerly
Of Rawlins, played a spectacular
part for the visitors.
In the second half a tip from
Coach DeLacy to watch this whirl-
wind more closely brought results,
and the home team drew steadily
away from Laramie. In spite OF
rough usage of the first half both
teams entered the final frame more
aggrcssiyely fighting than ever. But
the close in work of Rawlins evil

position.
The joy of seeing the home team
administer so definite a defeat was
