Children May Use
Catholic Church Lot
Corner 3~rd---Spruce

Permission was granted by the
members of the Catholic church to
the Rawlins Public Schools to use
the lot which is located in the rear
of the church, on the corner of Third
and Spruce, for play ground purposes.
In the Spring it is planned to build
three tennis courts ON the lot for the
use of the students in the schools.
With the increase of children in
the public schools, the central ward
has been considerably cramped for
play ground pace. This year it was
found necessary to build a temporary
structure in the central ward lot,
thus the playing space was cut down
to a further extent. With the addi-
tional lot the conditions will be great
ly relieved and at the same time the
students will have tennis courts at
their disposal.

after the Lackawanna special was
wrecked at Rockport, n. j., this
morning, Barney Judge, of this city,
flagman of the ill-fated train and
sole survivor of the crew, extricated
himself from the disheveled heap of
human forms, distorted car seats
and other bits of wreckage. He pick
ed up his red lantern, fuse and tor
pedoes, groped his way through the
darkness and crawled down the step
to protect the train from rear-end
collision. When he came to the
telephone booth at the Rockport
siding. he ignited fuse, placed tor
pedoes on the rails and sent in his
call. Within few seconds one of
the dispatchers answered and in
simple language Judge gave him the
wreck story.
