OF P.
E. DALEY HELD
TUESDAY LAST

Hundreds of Rawlins friends oil
Percy E. Daley were saddened Sun.
day morning last when word was re.
ceived here hat he had died in Den.
yer as the result of a self-inflicted
gun-shot wound.
Friday last Percy and his wife were
around the Empire hotel where they
were living. They went to their ROOF
in the evening and when they were
not seen for some time by the hotel
employees an investigation was made
This investigation, which was not
made until Saturday evening, dis.
closed the dead bodies of both the
man and wife in their room. Officials
were convinced that Mr.. Daley had
killed his wife then himself, so nc
inquest was held.
Rawlins friends of the young maj
are unable to understand his reason
for taking his life as he has always
been happy and care-free. However,
during his wal service he was both
gassed and wounded and since that
time he has been in very poor health.
Last summer he was injured while
working for a lumber company in
the mountains of Colorado and for
several months he was confined to
the hospital with one of his legs
crushed. Ill health, therefore, Is be-
lieved to have been the principal rea-
son for the deed.
Percy 4. Daley was the second son
OF Mrs. VIM. Daley, Sr., and vas born
and raised In this city. He was born
November 80, 1888, and was edu-
Gated in the Rawlins public schools.
He made his home here until 1911
when he went to Canada where he
remained for two years. He after
wards lived in Washington and Mon
tana but came to Denver a couple of
years since.
He saw service with the goth En-
gineers and spent several months in
France.
The deceased was one of the most
popular Rawlins boys ana he number
ed as his friends everyone with whom
he came into contact.
The funeral was held from the

Tony Contos was arrested by Of
ficers from the Sheriff's office yes
terday morning on a charge of the

entered a plea of guilty and was re-
leased under a $1,000 bond.
u~ndersheriff Frank Lemoine and
two federal prohibition officers left
Rawlins on Monday for the Muddy
Creek section where it was believed
that a still vas operating. The of
ficers search revealed a very well
hidden still and a large amount of
paraphernalia for the manufacturing
of m~oonshine liquor. The officers
confiscated about 1000 gallons of
mash and about two and a half gal
Ions of liquor. 1t is reported that

Rawlins-P arco Road
Probably Completed
by 18th of August

Work on the Rawlins-Parco road
is progressing rapidly and it is be-
lieved that it will be completed by
the 18th of August, the time set in
the contract. The road from the top
of the hill just cas- Of Rawlins to
Ducolon's place is completed and cars
are travelling over that section of the
road at the present time.
Some difficulty is being encounter
ed in that section around the Four
Mile Bridge for it was found necess-
airy to change the channel of the
creek from what it has previously
been and in doing this it was necess-
airy to cut through several thousand
yards of solid rock. Also the for
nation at the bridge is not as solid
as it should be for the bridge, thus
it will probably be necessary to run
cement for the bridge rests.
An engineer from Cheyenne visit
ed Rawlins yesterday and made a
trip to the bridge location To- pass On
the bridge rest formation. If good
progress is made on blasting through
the rock formation the road will be
completed by the 18th of August.

EXPLOSION AT
AERO STATION
TUESDAY MORN

An explosion occurred about eight
O'Clock on Tuesday morning of this
week at the Aero Filling Station on
the corner of Buffalo and Fifth
streets when the fumes from high
test gasoline caught fire from a gas
burner that was on the hot water
heater in the basement. The steps
leading to the main floor were char
red and a few pairs of coveralls were
burned but very little other damage
was suffered.
About eight o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, Dwight Darrell went into the
basement of the station and drew off
a small amount of high test gaso-
line from the barrel and in doing
so he spilled a small amount of it
on the floor. He had no sooner
reached the main floor when a air
sized explosion occurred. 1t is be-
lieved that the fumes caught fire
from the hot water heater that was
burning at the time. Tom Jolly,
driver Of the city fire truck. was at
the station at the time and he ran
across the street to the fire truck and
drove it over to the filling station.
The fire vas put out with chemicals
before it had much of a chance to
make much Roadway. The tank of
high test gasoline did not catch fire.

Attended by Several
Residents of Rawlins

Wyoming, ON July 4th and 9TH was
attended by several residents from
Rawlins who left this city early Sat
urday morning and most of them re-
turned late Sunday evening. AL
though mud vas encountered in a
few places along the road it was not
deep or slippery enough to hinder
travel to any extent. With the eX-
ception OF about 30 miles this side
OF Lander where the road Is under
construction the road Is excellent. As
soon as the part under construction
Is completed the twO cities will be
Connected by an excellent highway.
The road from Casper to Rawllns.
with the exception of the part that
is under construction. between the
AlCova hill and the Tom sun ranch,
is also In excellent condition and in
a very short time Rawlins and Cas-
per will be connected by one of the
best highways in the state. II is be-
lieved that the part under construc-
ton viii be completed in a month or
so.

cases residents OF that city made
room for the visitors In their W
houses after all the rooming houses
and hotels were filled TO capacity.

no little pains to get the visitors To-
Gated and In a few cases they turned

be given to the lady who was in
charge OF the place that was set

NEW SHOP WILL
BE OPENED @
BUSINESS SOON

The Boiler and Tank Works, of
which Fred F. Shreeman is the gen.
eral manager, will be opened for bus
mess on the lot just east of the Oil
Well Supply company plant in about
ten days and Mr.. Shreeman an
nounces that the shop will be equip
ped to do ordinary boiler repairs
and that the different firms can have
the work done in the fields.
Mr.. Shreeman has had consider
able experience in the erection of
team and mechanical equipments of
various kinds in the United States
and Mexico and his recommendation
from the j. G. White Engineering
corporation for which he worked
some time is exceptionally high.
Also his recommendations from the
places he has worked in P~ennsylvan-
ia, Oklahoma and Texas show that
he is more than well qualified to
give the service that local companies
have had to send out of the city to
get done.
In the new shop, as well as in the
fields, work of welding, changing
flues, Strengthening back crown
sheets, side sheets and restay bolt
ing can be done and Mr.. Shreeman
states that the work will have his
personal supervision and attention.
The temporary shop which will be
opened for business in about ten days
will only be used until a new build
ing 200 by 800 feet can be built.
Rawlins is indeed fortunate in
having a firm such as the Boiler
and Tank Works located in this city
and it will be a great advantage to
the many oil companies located in
the near vicinity of Rawlins.
