ZEN YEARS AGO

AS will be seen by an agreement
published elsewhere in this issue,
practically every merchant in the
city has agreed to close at one
o'clock on Saturdays, during June,
July and August in order that the
clerks can have an opportunity to
take trips to the country Saturday
afternoon and spend Saturday and
Sunday hunting and fishing. This is
a good move and one that should
have the support Of the citizens of
Rawlins. The clerks ask that you
favor the merchants all you a and
endeavor to purchase your necessary
supplies for Sunday before closing
time Saturday. This Saturday after
moor closing will only be / n force
for three months.
The school board announces that
they have selected practically all Of
the teachers for the Rawlins schools
for the coming Year. Several appli-
cations are in for the position of
superintendent. and the board has
the list narrowed down to a couple
Of candidates but as yet have not
selected the man. The superintend-
ent will probably be selected Satur-
day some time.
All of the teachers who taught
here the past school ear and who
again applied for a position were
re-employed for the coming year.
The following teachers who were
here this year will again teach next
winter: Miss Flora Kruger, Mr..
Ivan Mitchell, Mr.. Ellefson, Miss
Peterson. Miss Kirk, Miss Atheeton,
Miss Malone, Miss Irving. Miss Nc
Quinn, Miss Eldridge. Miss Mary
Kruger. Mrs. Gail Barnes, Miss
Joyce and Miss Hamilton.
Miss Edna Jones of Frederick,

employed.
The big shoot held here Monday
and Tuesday was successful from
every standpoint. There were many

part in the tournament, and some
exceptionally good scores were made.
This is the first tournament of this
kind hal has ever been held in Raw
Inns and those who had it in charge
are to be congratulated upon the
big success il was.
Most OF those who took part in
the tournament, including Carl Mel

they will take part in the shoot

the finest sandstone on the Ameri-
can continent. But little of 1t, how
ever, had ever been put upon the
market, because the owners had not
the means to put in the necessary
machinery to quarry any quantity of
the stone. Late in the winter the
quarry passed into the hands of an
eastern syndicate who put in the
necessary machinery for breaking
the stone, and today we find at. work
in the quarry about rs men. A
young village has sprung up and
several teams are employed freight
ing the stone from the quarry to
the railroad.
The new machinery, which has
been in operation for a few weeks,
works like a charm and succeeds in
taking out about 400 cubic feet of
stone daily, which Is shipped to
%atrice, Nebraska, and enters into the
construction of the finest court
house in that great and growing
state. When the spur is completed
to the quarry the force of men at
work there will be increased and
more than double the amount of
stone will then be taken out. There
is a demand for it wherever it is
known. What has proved true of
the stone quarry will also prove
true with the coal, the iron and the
gas and other minerals around Raw
Inns. Each Of the last three men
toned are more valuable than the
stone and when utilized will give
work to hundreds of men. An mex
haustible supply Of excellent coal
in the close proximity to the iron
and a never-failing supply Of natural
gas within easy reaching distance
of the hard metal, makes it most
fortunate for this immediate vicinity.
The discovery of a natural gas
field almost on the very edge Of one
of the richest deposits of hematite
iron on the face Of the globe, is of
untold value for whenever as can
be obtained it is preferable for
smelling iron ores, because it is
much cheaper than n other fuel,
it is easier handled, and cleaner.
The chances are very favorable
for Prof. Mathews, of Carbon, be-
coming principal of the Rock Springs
school for the coming year.

STEPS ON GAS AND
 0UTWITS R0BBER
Louis Fanion and Family Escape
 From HiBhWayman

Louis Fanion of 4ss Arch street was the victim Of an attempted hold up last night while driving on Ken sington avenue about 9 o'clock, ac- cording to a report made to the po- lice today. Fanion and his family were driving along the avenue when man with black mask over his face stepped out from the bushes and levelled q revolver at him, or- dering him to stop the machine and raise his hands. Fanion's sons told their father to speed up. and instead of obeylng the orders of the masked man, Fanion stepped on the gas and made his getaway.
 The police compared the report of Fanion with the one received from Dave Wycander of 17S5 Stanley street who also reported that an at- tempt was made to hold him up at about the same place last night, and the same description of the stickup man in both reports was similar. The only difference in the Fanion and the Wycander case was that two shots were fired at the Wycander ma chine when he stepped on the gas.
 State Policeman Palmer arrested Louis Serappi on the Berlin turnpike this morning on a charge of carrying concealed weapon. a loaded re- volver being found on the man. &c., rappi was brought to the local po- lice station and Edward Fanion was called to police headquarters to see if he could identify him as the one who had attempted to hold them up. The boy could not identify the face of the prisoner, but said that outside of the face he resembled the stickup man.
 Sergt. Michael J. Flynn notified Wycander of Serappi arrest and told him to call at police headquarters this afternoon in an effort to con- meet the prisoner with last nights at- tempted holdups.
