GRIEVE
HIT BY BOLT
OF LIGHTNING

John Grieve, Jr., 10 year old son
of Mrs. John Grieve who lives on a
ranch at the foot of Whiskey Peak
north of this city, was instantly kill
ed on Monday afternoon when he was
struck by a bolt of lightning while
on the roundup in the Sweetwater
section, about Is miles from the
home ranch. The body was taken to
Casper and interment was made in
the Casper cemetery yesterday MORN
ing.
The reports of the incident state
that the boy had been riding on the
roundup for the past few weeks with
about Is other men. On Monday af-
ternoon the men were about Is miles
from the Grieve ranch and the boy
was holding a bunch of horses while
the other men were working other
horses. The boy was standing be-
side his horse when the lightning
and laundering began. The storm
was not severe n the bolt that
struck John Grieve was the only one
that hit in the near vicinity. The
lightning killed the boy and the
horse, the horse falling on the boy
as they fell to the ground.
The nearest spectator of the ac-
cident was several blocks away from
Grieve and the lightning knocked the
spectators horse to its knees but
did not injure the rider.
Shortly after the accident the men
on the roundup reached the body of
the boy and as soon as possible they
telephoned Mrs. Grieve n the old
err brother who were in Rawlins on
Monday afternoon. The mother and
son Immediately left this city for the
ranch where the remains had been
taken.
This is the second accident that has
occurred to the group of men who
are working on the Sweetwater
roundup. On Friday evening, June
18th, another young man, Ogle
Dozer, was found dead at the bot
tom of a seven foot washout about
20 miles from the Tom Sun Sweet
water ranch. The young man was
working on the roundup and it is
presumed that the horse he was rid
ing fell over the bank into the bot
tom of the washout. Thus the men
have been greatly handicapped by
the loss of two Of their force and
the accidents have somewhat broken
the morale Of the men.
John Grleye, although only a young
boy. "a very well liked by the men,
most of whom have known him since
he was very young. The Grieye fam
lily has lived In the Sweetwater sec
ton for many years and have made
many trips TO this city, thus they are
well known by a number OF Raw
Inns people.
The boy leaves to mourn his death
his mother. three brothers and one
sister. They have the sincere SYM
pathies of their many friends in the
loss of John Grieve, Jr.

COM.
OVER
R NERO.

A deal was recently consummated
between the Cullen Commercial COM
pany and the owners of the Parco
Mercantile company whereby the
Cullen Commercial will take over the
lease of the Parco store on Wednes-
day of next week. Messrs. Neill and
C~uthbertson have been operating the
store since its installation some few
months ago, however, they are re-
firing from the store and will go
into some other line of business.
The Cullen Commercial Co. store
one Of the Oldest and best known
stores in Carbon county. will I'M
doubtedly enjoy a very good patron
age in their Parco store. The Raw
Inns store is one of the largest
in the county and the reputation
built up in this city through years
of giving the best of service and
quality. will undoubtedly follow the
company in its new enterprise.
Parco residents can feel fortunate
in having a firm of the calibre of
the Cullen Commercial in their city
and the firm in turn can feel GER
tain that 1t is dealing with people
who are appreciative of the qualities
the firm possesses.

]. A. HOBBS DID
MUCH ROARING AT
LION CONVENTION

At last Thursdays Lions luncheon
at the Ferris the newly elected club
officers were duly installed, and the
club was launched on its fifth year
under the guidance of Lion c.. A.
Brimmer as president.
H. H. Nelson, the retiring presi-
dent, presented to the club a resume
of the club activities during the past
year, and President Brimmer then
accepted his new post with some APP
propriate remarks.
A letter from a Riverton resident
was read during the meeting and
provoked a very considerable dis
c%ussion, inasmuch as it contained
some rather serious charges against
one of the newer Lions. j. A. Hobbs,
who is reputed to have done con
siderable roaring at the Riverton cou-
vention. Lion Hobbs, so it was al
legged, had absconded from Riverton
with certain articles OF clothing to
which, so it was stated, he had a
very poor title If any at all.
After some rather embarrassing
disclosures had been made concern
ing the garments in question and Cub
Hobbs had been properly toasted,
garnished and Drowned to a queens
taste, it was made apparent that he
was the unfortunate victim of a re-
gretable conspiracy among certain of
his fellow Lions. and much merri.
ment was INDUCED in at his expense,
Cub Geo. Bible was called on to
report the conduct of the Lions who
made the Riverton trip. and IL was
apparent that the matters he report
ed lost little, If anything, in the tell
ing. Some of the members became
extremely uncomfortable during the
course of his report. and he took
his sea to the accompaniment of a
concerted sigh of relief. 1t was
thought very unlikely hat he would
be selected to accompany the dele
cation next year.

RAWLINS BEAT
HANNA NINE BY
SCORE q TO s

The Rawlins baseball team sue
ceeded in romping over the Hanna
japanese Nine at the rodeo field In
this city last Sunday afternoon by a
score OF 20 to s, however. on account
OF rain the game was called at the
end OF the fifth inning.
The local team got away to a good
start and was getting warmed up
nicely in the second inning when the
rain began falling. II was necessary
TO take time out for awhile until the
worst part of the rain was oyer and
when the game was resumed the
field was exceedingly wet. making II
difficult for either team to show very
much.
BY the end OF the fifth inning the
local boys had knocked the Hanna
pitcher all over the field and the
score had been run up to 23 runs
for Rawlins and S for the japanese
team. when the rain began falling
rather hard again II was decided to
call the game.
A good crowd attended the game
and all were anxious Ia see the Japs
show their stun. Most OF the crowd
were kecniy disappointed when the
rain began falling for they felt that
IL the japanese team got away to
any kind OF n start they would put
up n hard fight and show some clever
ball playing. Both teams showed
the best OF workmanship and the
local team displayed considerable
class In clouting out some long dis
tant shots. Tim Monahan was the
heavy hitter for the Rawlins team.
The schedule 20 date for coming
games IL as follows: W. s. Pen team
at the rodeo field ON Sunday after
noon next: Sunday July 18th. Hanna
japanese team at Hanna; Sunday.
July 18th. Hanna town team Mt
Hanna. In the very neal future sew
erai other games will be scheduled
with the local team.
