Justice OF the Peace watson, the
court found that there was not suf-
ficient evidence to bind Cortino over
and he was discharged. The Mexican
woman is still being held in the
county jail.
h story as given by Cortino was
that he had lived in Medicine Bow
about four months and he worked
on the section gang on the railroad.
The first time he had ever seen Vela,
who also goes by the name Of Man
ual Cristio. was about a week ago.
The first time he spoke to him was
on Friday night when Vela came over
TO his house and asked Cortino II he
wanted to play cards. Upon receiv-
ing a negative answer, Nela went
into the house, which is a box car
converted into a house and sets a
short distance from the Medicine Bow
depot, and began playing the yictrola.
Shortly after that Vela brought the
Mexican woman, who it is believed
has been living with Vela as his
| wife, over to the house. Cortlnc
stated that the visitors asked him II
they could remain in his house and
set up In business. To this Cortinc
gave them a negative answer. =
On Saturday evening the couple
secured a DON in the hotel but
they again visited Cortino's house
and remained there until about nine
O'Clock. Cortino states that about
three o'clock the next morning he
heard a knock on the door and upon
opening 1t he faced Vela and the
woman. Vela drew a gun and told
him to hold up his hands. Cortino
said the man held the gun on him
while the oma searched his per-
son and the house. After taking
the money and watch they left the
house.
When the couple left Cortino went
the sheriff of the robbery. Upon re-
over TO the Sherin's house and told
ceiving reply that the sheriff would
look for the man and woman when
1t got light, Cortino went back to
his house and went to bed.
Shortly after five o'clock. Vela re-
turned to the house and upon awak-
ening Cortino, accused him OF tell
ing the police. Cortino stated that
Vela said he would shoot him. Be
coming very frightened Cortino ran
out of the door and around the house.
While he was running. he states that
Vela shot at him twice. When Cor
tino came around to the door again

Twelve Year Old
Girl Rode Engine
r. S. to Rawlins

Fahnie Stevens. a IL year old
Italian girl who lives in Rock
Springs, crawled on the water tank
or the engine on train No. 6 at Rock
springs on Sunday afternoon of this
week and rod the engine to Raw
inns. She was wearing a calico
dress and had on only a thin sweater.
Her yells came to the attention of the
enginemen at Wamsutter and upon
investigation they found the girl,
TOOK her into the engine and brought
her on to Rawlins.
The story as given by the girl was
that she was at the station in Rock
springs watching the train when the
thought occurred to her that she
would like to ride the engine. in
that she had ridden on one
before. h stated that she intended
riding only a short distance ,so she
got on the water tank and after the
train had started it was going too
fast for her to get off.
1t Is believed that she crawled he
hind the engine and rode, for other
wise because of the intensity of the
cold Sunday evening, she would have
frozen before she had ridden very
far.
The men on the engine heard
noises at times and it Is said that
one OF them stated several times that
the engine was haunted for he was
sure that he heard screams. When
the train arrived at Wamsutter they
made an investigation and found the
girl. She was almost frozen and
was exceedingly frightened. The men
took her into the engine where she
was warmed.
T, Trainmaster Gibbons. upon the ar
rival of No. six in Rawlins, took the
girl to the restaurant and gave her
a meal. The doctor was called and
he examined the girl to see If she
was frozen or had suffered any IL
effects from the exposure. His exam,
nation proved that she had not, sc
Trainmaster Gibbons took her back
to Rock Springs the same evening
and turned her over to her parents.

G0OD-NUTTING
RUNNING CASING
SHERARD DOME

Tho first OF the week some water
was struck In the Good-Nutting well
being drilled on Sherard Dome and
as the hole was sluffing consider
able II was decided to close down
and run casing before drilling to
the Dakota sands.
II was ut first reported that this
well had come In ms n water well
but investigation showed this report
ms being entirely wrong. Some water
was encountered in what In believed
TO be the Muddy sand but the hole
has not reached the Dakota sand as
yet and II will be some time before
this sand a be tapped. It will be
necessary to case the hole and then
to cemon before drilling can pro-
grcss.
Rawllns people regret very much
tho necessity OF the delay in drilling
Into the Dakota sand but the drill
erH feel that tho only safe thing to
do IL 10 absolutely protect the pres
Ont hole before drilling further.

NOBE K. 0'D |.
IN 9Th
ROUND LAST EVE

Nobe Ayala Cervantes in the sixth
round of a scheduled ten round bout
at Ogden, Utah, last night, knocked
out Louie Paluso, the boy who recent
ly fought in the elimination tourna-
ment in New York for the worlds
featherweight title. Both Nobe and
Paluso weighed 100 pounds at two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Nobe on January LIST fought a SEN
sational Commute draw at Portland
Oregon. and it is reported that had
hairs been cut Nobe would have
received the decision. Although he
received several cuts in the Portland
fight which were not yet healed Nobe
went into the fight last night and
won by a knockout.
Nobe is making a name for himself
in the fighting world and his perfor-
nance OF last night shows that he is
developing a punch which will win
many fights for him. Nobe has al
ways been a willing mixer and been
able to assimilate punishment but
has been weak as far as having a real
knockout punch.
The many Rawlins friends OF this
young man are watching his progress
with great interest and all are wish.
ing him the best OF luck.

one OF the best ever given at the
Rotary Club and the thoughts
brought out we're mighty valuable.
Following the talk of Coach Boil
kan the chairman OF the day turned
the gavel over to- the coach In order
that the visitors could handle tho
program as they saw tit.
Coach Bolkan called upon Tim
Monahan. the popular captain OF the
1924 team. for q talk. Tim made n
very pleasing talk. thanking the Ro-
tary Club for their courtesy In hnv-
Ing the members OF the football
team as guests and also thanked the
Rotarians for the support accorded
the team. Although he will not be
In Rawlins next yenr. Monahan stated

he went into the house and secured
the shotgun. AS soon as Vela saw
the gun he began running and it was
at this time that Cortino shot him
in the left shoulder.
Cortino then went over to the
sheriff's house and told the sheriff
that, Maybe l kill a man" Both
of the men went back to the bunk
house and after a short search found
Vela dead.
The Mexican woman, who claims
that she had nothing to do with the
robbery, was found and brought to
Rawlins, but no attempts of the To-
cal police can make her admit that
she has the money or knows where
it is. There is very little doubt
in the officers minds that she was
implicated in the robbery and she
will be held for n few days in an
attempt to make her admit that she
took part in it.
Upon investigation in Medicine
Bow it was found that Cortino does
not drink, gamble and that he always
pays his bills promptly. He has al
ways behaved in aAyMceiient manner
since hethas. been in,AALad fciue Bow.
