WEIR

Some of the most rugged scenery
in the world and probably the most
primitive inhabitants of North Amer
lea are featured in Paramount's new
picture, ITO the Last Man." a Zane
Grey production, coming to the Weir
theater for three days beginning next
Monday. Lois Wilson, Richard Dix,
Noah Berry. Frank Campeau and Rob-
ert Edeson are featured. The picture
was made in the Tonic basin, Arizona.
The story is based on the Pleasant
Valley war, feud between cattle
men and sheepmen fought in the late
eighties in which both factions were
wiped out literally to the last man.
The picture opens with a chance
meeting between CASTOR Isbel and
Lee forth, leaders of the rival fac
tions. Jean Isbel, son of CASTOR,
comes to Arizona from Oregon to aid
his father. He meets Ellen forth, the
daughter of his fathers enemy, and
falls in love with her. Later he traces
cattle rustlers to Jorths ranch, thus
precipitating a raid on the Isbel home.
In the battle Guy Isbel is killed and
one of the children MORALLY wounded.
CASTOR Isbel is treacherously MUIR
dered and the Isbels are ambushed
while pursuing the Jorths and practi-
cally wiped out. Jean, the last of the
Isbels, continues the fight, killing the
last of the forth sympathizers and
ending by marrying Ellen, Jorth's
daughter, thus terminating the terri
BILE feud.
The picture includes scenes of the
most rugged grandeur. Some Of the
descendants of this last man take part
in the mob scenes. 1t is a picture of
rapidly changing situations, and it
has all the atmosphere of the original
story.

BIJOU


Another laugh festival is in store
and promised to the lovers of vaude-
vile at the Bijou theater on Sunday
and Monday next.
Nine. Robertas comedy animal cir
Gus will make it's appearance consist
ing OF a dog, pony, monkey and buck
Ing mule. The mule is the original
Hee-Haw Maude and an invitation is
extended to spectators to attempt to
ride it. A suitable reward will be
given to anyone who succeeds. Maude
is a beautiful specimen of a balky
mule and provides loads of fun, as
the antics of a mule are always a
source of amusement and incidentally
comprise worthy and excellent ex-
ira attraction in any show, so don't
fail to see Hee-Haw Maude, the
worlds greatest comedy mule.
Jack Kennedy appears in Dark
Moments" and is blackface come
dian whose droll humor and comedy
songs and dances go to make him the
laughing hit on any bill and a gloom
chaser as we'll.
Yeoman & Briggs, comedy couple,
present "the Fakir," where humor is
served out by the female who is a
clever comedienne, and her comedy
characterizations are a scream.
The Chesters in the "Equilibrist
Beautifur' perform many unbelieva-
BILE feats in balancing. A beautiful
special stage setting adds greatly to
the beauty of the act.
Also a good photoplay.

OFFICERS GET
INTO FRACAS
AT THE BOW

When attempting to investigate
reasons why three men not living at
the house in question should enter a
home guaranteed for diphtheria.
Police Officer Cooper. of Medicine
Bow. and Glen Scott. his acting as
sistant. got into a lively fracas which
resulted in the arrest of four men
and m woman. and put Mr.. Scott in
Memorial hospital in Rawlins. This
occurred about one week ago, and
Cndersheriff Mills. In company with
a state prohibition officer, went to
Medicine Bow last Thursday to help
bring in the prisoners taken.
These prisoners. Fred Bonnie, Bak-
er Comstock, Andy Comstock. Chas.
Terrell and Mrs. Harry Riley. were
all found in the home of Mrs. Rely,
which had been ~quarantined against
diphtheria. Bonnie will probably be
charged with the possession of intox-
icating liquor, while the other four
Will probably be charged in some
way with having broken the quaran-
tine laws.
Sometime during the free for all
which occurred when arrests were
made, Officer Scott received n heavy
blow at the base OF his neck which
so affected his condition
that he had to be brought to the hos
pital here for treatment.
Those taken were brought to Raw
Inns. where they await n preliminary
hearing in the county Jail.

He declared that in spite of city
ordinances the piles of refuse near
the Lincoln Highway east of the city
were steadily moving toward the
Highway itself, and already were
most unsightly monuments to Raw
Inns to tn emotorist. This is not
news to any person in Rawlins able
to get about.
Mayor Hopkins declared that to
him the dense cloud of evil-smelling
smoke lowering over the dump and
the city under certain wind condi-
tons was most Objectionable. He
promised that steps would be taken
by the board whenever the Lions
! had submitted a workable plan.
Mesdames w. w. Daley and o. f.
Eckdahl, representing the Delphian
Society. requested that the city con-
slider a permanent system of collect
ing and disposing Of garbage. Much
amusement was melted when re-
marks were made by several present

innocent looking quantity of refuse

F"1Nu W w "a WI n 4hlss Etk-
dahl pointed out that any system de-
veloped by the council could not
possibly cost Rawlins citizens what
the present unsatisfactory arrange
ment does. She called the Mayors
attention TO the fact that Rawlins is
a growing city: that fly time was
soon coming: and that public health
demanded that steps be taken for
the disposal OF waste. Considerable
talk about loose pa per resulted. but
no action was taken by the city Of
fcials. They. speaking through
Mayor Hopkins. did promise to con-
slider the matters brought up. how
ever.
Ole Larsen. representing the Loyal
Order OF Moose. asked for permission
for his organization to conduct n
street carnival here next July. The
Mayor innocently asked II there were

the city hall had quieted down II
was found that he referred to that
kind at which balls are usually
thrown for prizes! when It was

for permission was granted.

curing its right-of-way for the new
system, declared that he had gone
as far with this party as he felt he
had the authority to go. and brought
the matter before the board. After
hearing Mr.. Rasmussen the matter
was taken under advisement.
Al ordinance was passed determ-
ming the amount of taxes and assess
ments necessary to meet the current
expenses of the city of Rawlins for
the year 1924, and providing special
taxes to be levied during this year.
Consideration of this matter dis
closed that. If the city valuation in
creased 100000 this year the levy
would be approximately .0l6 instead
of the .01S25 levied last year. or a
decrease in the city tax levy of about
two mills. The city valuation in
creased 5000, 900 during 1928 and 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose thai 1t

partment plans on either making a

across Encampment river at River
