FOUND DEAD IN
BED ON SUNDAY

William Jennings Bryan, three
times presidential nominee of the
Democratic party and known the
world over for his eloquence, was
found dead in his room in Dayton,
Tennessee, about 4:30 Sunday after
noon last. Physicians attributed his
death to apopleXy. The funeral SER
vices will be held at Washington, D.
c., tomorrow in the New York Pres
byterian church and interment will
be made in the national cemetery at
Arlington. Bryan was a colonel of
volunteers in the Spanish-American
war and his remains will rest among
the %country's notable military heroes.
Although Mr.. Bryan was a mem
Der of the prosecution staff in the
Scopes trial being held at Dayton and
has been carrying on a strenuous pro-
gram, his health has been very good
and only a short time before he laid
down to rest Sunday afternoon after
eating a heavy dinner he remarked
to his wife that he had never felt
better in his life."
The end came while Mr.. Bryan
was asleep. DR.. w. F. Thomson
and DR.. A. c. Bryoles, who examined
the body, expressed the opinion that
the deceased had been dead for APP
proXimately As minutes when he was
found.
Death anne to the Great Common
er on the eve of another crusade he
had planned to carry before the
American people-a battle against
modernism.
The tribute paid by DR.. John E.
Osborne of this city to his close per-
sonal friend, William Jennings Bry-
an, expresses the views held by mil
lions of Americans for the deceased.
Mr.. Bryan's eloQuence, the sincerity
of his principles and his deep relig-
ious beliefs stand out and fixes his
place among the notables of all time.

courage and craftsmanship that these
men possess and show this years
celebration, 1t is believed, will out
shine all other performances that
have ever been given.
Competition, talent and SUPPORT
from all of the county is earnestly
urged and solicited. The show this
year is offering to the world prizes,
events and thrills that cannot help
but draw contestants as we'll as spec
tators from all the west. 1t can be
said that the local show will be or
a par in entertainment and thrills
with any that is given in the west.
Several special features in this
years show have been worked out
by the RodeO Committee and it is
believed that they will take" in
great style with the audience and
contestants.
AS one attraction from the contest
ants side, Frank E.. Kistler Is Of
fering a handsome trophy to the win
ner of the steer rOping contest. This
prize. it must be won two years In
succession before it becomes the prop
erty of the winner. will be treasured
and guarded by the winner and 1t Is
believed that the cowboys will make
a special effort to capture the tro-
ply. In the roping contest another
trophy is being offered by Archie and
Tom Lapham. This In its kind will
also be a trophy that will be more
than well worth working for. Add
tional cups and trophies will be an
nounced later covering many Of the
events.

plans for an extensive banquet that
will be held in this city oil Friday
evening following the ground events.
The banquet will be for the winners
Of the events and trophies and the
gifts will be presented to the win
ners during the dinner (this oes not
include the prize money hat will be
given at the grounds. The doners
OF the special prizes and trophies
will also be present at the banquet
and will make the presentation to
the winners. 1t Is believed that this
feature will be a big drawing event
for contestants for they can be as
sured that they will be honored and
feted for their showings In the show.
The rules and regulations are. as
stated, somewhat different than In
past years but II is felt that they
are more than square and they are
explicit and leave no room for argu-
ment or mistakes. These same rules
are used for the largest rodeos In
the world. thus in that the Rawlins
show will be of that calibre they
are very applicable to the local show.
For the information and guidance OF
all contestants as well as for the In
formation to the audience. h Raw
Inns Republican is printing for Its
readers n complete draft OF the pro-
gram which includes the rules and
regulations that Will hold In h

PERIOD. STATE CENSUS NOT COMPLETED

County Assessor viii f. Daley and his deputies the fore
part of this week completed the taking of the census in Car

Inns an increase of 1,6lS residents. In the returns that have
been reported in the state Rawlins ranks as the fifth city in
