JUNIOR PLAY IS
WELL RECEIVED

Two phrases have lately sprung
into usage mainly because they are
so true to human life-love in a
cottage and art in a garnet.
The Junior Play given with con
siderable verve by a well chosen
cast, last Friday evening u the
Strand Theatre, was somewhat a
complex of these two-love and art
both figuring prominently in the
lives of two characters in the play
taking the parts of author and paint
er. The garnet was modified, be-
coming the boarding house run by
Mrs. Podge. This admirable old
lady held to two tenets of life-her
house must retain all its moral tone,
and the roomers must pay their
rents promptly. The part was taken
by Crystal Jensen.
Developing his plot arouhd the
penurity of author and painter. The
writer of "Fifty-Fifty" caused M
author to sell one of his pals paint
ings under rather peculiar circum
stances and keep 1t sold through {
series of minor misunderstanding
which threatened to land them al
in jail. And OF course there was A.,
gin ii''l tsltu III eath VI 'h' "i'io'i
always a further involvement!
Throughout the presentation b,
the local cast under the able direc
ton OF Miss Josephine Phelan
smoothness OF action was apparent
Outstanding in the piece was the
acting Of John Engstrom and Hud'
Green as painter and author
Esther Albright al Sophie Bland,
dancer. Crystal Jensen as Mrs
Podge. and Robert Bible as the
colored valet. And yet every part
was played with gratifying success
other players and their roles were:
Catherine Ekdahl as May Dexter,
May Scott as Mrs. Hawley. Dewitt
Winston as Patrick O'Malley. Emer'
son Bates as Captain Paul Green,
Frances Corson as Josephene the
wife of the jolly old salt.
The audience was not backward
in showing its appreciation for the
work OF all these promising young
persons,

by the New York Life Insurance
company to represent 1t in Munice.

Study Refining
As was announced in a recent

As was announced in a recent
issue OF The Republican, D. B.
Mapes, chief chemist at the Parco
refinery, has consented to conduct a
class at the High School Building

fning.

hour. There will be a class twice
each week, Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. The course will consist
of eight lessons.
Mr.. Ma PES states that the course

pies which will be brought out.
Several Rawlins men as well as
men from the refinery have signed

GAS Will BE

President Hatfield Of the Hatfield
Oil Company this morning stated
that workmen have completed the
anchoring of the casing in the big
gasser on the company's property
and that they expect to shut-in the
gas within the next couple days.
After the gas broke loose a couple
weeks since, President Hatfield had
the cellar enlarged and anchored the
casing four-ways to dead men"
He then poured several feet of con-
crete over these dead men" and as
soon as this concrete hardons it is
believed that the control gate can
be closed ard that there will be alb
solutely no danger of the gas again
breaking loose.
Since the gas has been blowing
the volume has increased greatly
and the gas itself each day shows
considerable more oil content. Those
who have been to the well recently
state that the nature OF the gas now
coming from the hole shows con,
clusively that there is a body of oil
in this structure.
Drilling is progressing steadily al

changed. This latter is covered by
a concession agreement with q Lara
ME firm.
A ladies lounging room furnished
in attractive wicker and cretons
leads off the main or Buffalo street
entrance and is connected with the
main dining room. It IL expected
that many Rawlins women will find
this an admirable place for meeting
friends. writing notes and the like.
Not the least factor in the retuvena-
tion, Of the Ferris hotel is the social
program planned by tho new man
aEement. Mr.. Fleming announces

According to testimony gathered
from other boys at play on the snow

legged to have told Draper TO keep
away from him because of the knife.
During the ensuing scuffle young
Draper received n blow from the
knife which entered his back on the
left side and well down. The
knife blade. physical examination
shows. pierced the lung.
Judge Tidball Is scheduled to be
in Rawlins officially Jan. 18th. and

recovery. All agree. however. that
Irwin has n hard fight ahead OF hin
