RAWLINS TRUCK
GOES THROUGH
BAGGS BRIDGE,

Last Thursday a truck belonging
to H. w. Chamberlain of this city
and driven by Bill Adams went
through the Bags bridge and land
ed in the bottom of Snake river.
The truck was rescued from the
river and brought to this city where
1t Is being repaired.
h Snake River Sentinel explains
the accident as follows:
Bill Adams, driving n of the
Chamberlain fleet of trucks, loaded
with five ton of drilling rigging and
oil field supplies for a well at Meek
err, went thru the county bridge
across Snake river at Bags yester-
day morning about ten o'clock, which
will put the bridge out of commits
sion for several days.
The back wheels of the truck
broke thru where the steel bridge
joins IN to the wooden part of the
structure, breaking off every one of
the stringers. The back end went
clear thru to the sand below while
the front wheels remained on top
leaving the truck standing nearly
perpendicular. Bill was lucky enough
to have received no serious injury,
but was shook up quite a bit. Mrs.
Adams and HEN little daughter were
with him on the trip but decided to
walk across being rather afraid of
the bridge.
Mr.. Chamberlain was called from
Rawlins. and with the help of an
other of their trucks which had de-
livered a load to the we'll at Slater
and with a big block and tackle sue
ceeded in extricating the truck be-
fore dark last night.
The truck was not damaged as
much as could have been expected
altho 1t was rendered unfit for heavy
hauling, and was taken back to Raw
Inns for repairs.

DALEY RETURNS
FROM MEET AT
THERMOP0LIS

The County Assessors fourth an
nual convention which was held at
Thermopolis last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday was the best attended
and the most profitable convention
that has eyer been held in the his
tory of the associations meetings.
Seventeen out of twenty-three of the
counties were represented and Lam
der was chosen as the place of next
years meeting.
The association went on record in
favor of the issuance of state auto
mobile licenses by the counties and
the collection of taxes on autos at
the time the licenses are issued and
it based the recommendation on the
claim that a big percentage of auto
mobiles escape assessment for tax
purposes and taxes are not paid On a
still larger percentage of cars owned
and operated throughout the year.
The association also urged legisla-
ton which would harmonic con-
f1icting dates named in various state
laws for beginning assessment work.
Some of the important work &C
complished was the appointment of
several committees which will carry
on various important problems and
WoIh VI tuC dooOCldlloH. "A CoIlllll-
tee of five county assessors was APP
pointed to meet with a committee
of the representatives of five differ
ent oil producing concerns, the pur-
pose OF the meeting being to try
to arrive at some uniform basis for
oil and refinery equipment assessing.
The meeting will take place some
time this fall. The assessors ap-
pointd were Will F. Daley, Carbon
County; Lyle Jay, Natrona county;
j.. Atherly. Big Horn; G. Hughton,
Converse and w. Comley, Albany
County.
A second committee was appointed
for the purpose OF trying to get
legislation which will correct the
uncertainties of the present system
of assessing banking institutions.
This committee will probably meet
some time in December and it Is com.
posed OF five members who are well
acquainted with the problem and
capable Of going into the matter
with a high degree of understand.
ing. Will F. Daley was also appoint.
ed on this committee.
Lyle e. Jay of Casper. assessor FOL

president Of the association and Jas

tary.

final out was made Rawlins was on
the winning side of the score to the
tune of IS to 8. II Kingsley, the

Will be a decided attempt on the part
OF the Rawlins players to keep the

, 1924-07-31

This committee made a thorough
Investigation of every available loca-
tion in the city and after careful con-
sideration reported back to the di-
rectors as follows:
The present site is inadvisable be-
cause OF the size of the contemplated
new building and the further fact
that 1t is right at the edge of the
present business district. In case
of needed engagements there would
not be sufficient ground upon which
to enlarge. The business district is
gradually going to the north and
within a few years the school build
ing would be right in the business
district.
Three other sites we're investi-
gated. A site ear monument hill
was passed up because Of its near
ness to the railroad and to the stone
quarry.
The two sites which received the
favorable consideration were the
one on Seventh street at the north
west edge OF the pen fence and the
one at the northeast edge of the
city overlooking Sunnyside addition.
The Park Hill site was favored
because of the wonderful building
LULA thSA III dtoo CLAUS Va ~
fact that a natural stadium could
be constructed at a very small cost.
This site is but 10 blocks from the
depot and by putting a road and
sidewalk along the north side Of the
pen fence the pupils from Sunny
side would be within a very reason
able distance from the building.
The second choice Of the commit
tee was the site in the northeast
part OF the city. The main draw
back to this site Is because of the
fact that the industrial part Of the
city will undoubtedly be located in
that section.
The report Of this committee was
received by the directors and the
committee was instructed to appear
before the Board of Education and
report their findings. This was
done by the committee and the re-
port was given to the Board Of Ed
ucation Monday evening.

New Concern Will
Collect City Gar
bage Every Day

For some time past there has been
a belief prevalent In Rawlins to the
effect that some better disposition
should be made of garbage than has
been the case. Many plans have
been discussed which would result
in a cleaner. better and more sani-
tary city but nothing n really ac-
complished until recently when Jack
Beedie got busy.
After discussing the matter with
the city officials Mr.. Beedie made
a personal canvass OF most of the city
in an endeavor to see how many
residents really wanted to have their
garbage cleaned up each day pro-
viding that the charge would be rea-
sonable. He met with excellent sue
cess and within a few days after
starting his anvas Mr.. Beedie had
a sufficient number signed up to
make the proposition feasible.
In order to handle this garbage
in a sanitary Mr.. Beedie or
dered n Ford truck equipped with a
steel enclosed body. This truck has
garbage will be made tomorrow.
Those who have signed UT with Mr..
Beedie will have their garbage haul
ed away regularly.
The proper handling OF the city
garbage will do much to lessen dan
ger OF sickness and will make Raw
Inns a much healthier city in which
to live.
Many residents OF Rawlins who
have not as yet signed up with Mr..
Beedie will undoubtedly desire to do
so. These people can make arrange
ments by calling tho City Hall.

LOST
@ GAME TO
G. RIVER, SUN.

Playing in ideal baseball weather,
the Rawlnis team vas defeated by
the Green River baseball team Sun
day afternoon at the Rawlins
grounds by a score of IL to 10. Err
rors and more errors accounts for the
score, still the diamond was very
slow n it was difficult for the
players, especially around second
and short stops positions. Because
Of the closeness of the score practic-
ally every person who saw the game
remained in his seat until the final
out vas made in hopes that the Raw
Inns team would make the necessary
two more runs to beat Green River.
The game started about $3.50 p. m.
with hardly a breadth of wind blow
ing and the sky was overcast with
clouds-everything was in favor OF
a good game. In this country base
ball players are always kicking
about the weather being too cold.
but last Sunday they had a chance to
get warmed up and show their
stuff" Possibly the day was toe
sultry for Wyoming players for the
men on both teams seemed sluggish
and lazy and as stated, they made
error after error with the Rawlins
team far in the lead in this regard.
The game started out by both
teams making two runs in the first
inning: in the second inning one
score was made by both teams; in
the third inning Green River made
five scores to Rawlins our. 1t was
in this inning that Kingsley re-
placed Thompson at pitch. Kingsley
who is n full blooded Indian, had
arrived in Rawlins from Lander a
short while before the game started.
He played with the University of
Colorado baseball team this spring
but 1t had been about a month since
he had pitched n zane, nevertheless
he applied for a suit and was tried
out. His first introduction to Raw
Inns fans was when he nonchalantly
walked to the bat when his turn
came and seemingly lightly touched
the ball but 1t kept going out and
out through the air and landed clear
out past the left fielders head. King
sley is a slow runner but he knocked
the ball far enough to make a home
run.
During the remainder OF the game
both teams played better ball but
the errors were ever present. In the
fourth inning Green River made two
runs and in the sixth inning they
made another giving them IL runs
In the seventh inning Rawlins made
three runs, making her score 10.
The last two innings were shut-outs
for both teams.
Kingsley pitched n good game for
Rawlins but had Just driven from
Lander to Rawlins and was in no
condition TO play good ball. Some
OF his pitches were wild and he let
five men walk. With n little sup
port he should greatly strengthen
the Rawlins pitching stan. Miller.
the Green River twirlcr. pitched n
very good game. The second feature
OF the game, other than the home run
made by Kingsley, was when Cullen
at short caught n fast grounder.
threw II to Johnson ON second and
Johnson threw II 10 first for a double
put-out.
The Rawlins team can and does
play good ball at times and there
Is no reason why IL should not play
consistent ball. A little practice.
which the team Is o getting. Will
do the team worlds OF good.
