THE RAWIINs REPUBLICAN, RAWLINs. WYOMING THURSDAY. JANu

binations. the East leads with six
teen, the middle West has ten, the
far West six and the South one.
Three players are recognized ON
the first team for the second time,
They are Harold (Red) Grange,
famous Illinois back and outstanding
individual star of the year: Ed Gar
bisch, Army center who returns to
the post he held in 1922; and Homer
Hazel, Rutgers, who was picked as
an end in 1923 and fullback this sea-
son.
Hazel's shift from the line to the
back field has few parallels. Back
in 1901, Bunker of West Point, was
chosen as tackle and the following
year he gained a place as halfback.
Walter Eckersall of Chicago was an
end on the 1904 eleven, but shifted to
quarterback where he gained his
greatest fame, in 1906 and 1906.
Horrell at Guard
Horrell of California, also is out of
position, altho he previously has not
been on Camps first eleven. He is
at guard on the 1924 list. but his
regular post is center.
Six captains are included in the
first team. Besides Horrell and Gar
Disch, they are Bjorkman of Dart
mouth and Berry of Lafayette, ends:
E. Weir Of Nebraska. tackle. and
Walter Koppisch, three times Column
bia leader and backfield star, the
first Columbia player to gain a place
on the first team since 1903.
Camps choices vary radically with
the opinions of numerous other grid
iron critics, whose all-star selections
already have been published. He es-
lects Bjorkman and Berry, two East
erners. for first string ends, whereas
a majority of Eastern critics rated
this pair below Luman of Yale. who is
not mentioned at all by Camp. and
Mahany of Holy Cross. who Is placed
on the third team.
Slaughter of Michigan, placed at
guard. also a overlooked in most
published selections, while Diehl of
Dartmouth and Farwick of West
Point, generally chosen by other
critics as all-Eastern guards, find no
place in Camps array.
Notre Dame Fares Poorly
NotH Dame, despite its recognition
as the country's outstanding eleven
fares poorly in the selections. Harry
Stuhldreher. field marshal OF the fam
GUS -Four Horsemen," as the Notre
Dame backfield was known, is the
only Hoosier on the first team. One
of his running mates. Jimmy Crowley.
is on the second outfit. while Adams
Walsh captain and widely selected as
first all-American center by others. is
on the third combination. Elmer Lay
den, Notre Dame fullback and also
chosen for first honors in other quar-
tiers, Is not mentioned.
Harold Shidler, University of
Washington back, who led the Pacific
Coast scorers, and Heinie Benkert of
Rutgers. star who topped the East
ern scoring array. also are unmen-
toned In the Camp list.

Forest Receipts
Constantly Increase

The National Forest receipts 10
years ago were $4,000. Last year
they we're $3.50 900. In discussing
this phenomenal growth of business
in his annual report, Colonel VIM.
b. Greeley. chief forester of the
United States Forest Service, says
that the foremost task of the For
est service Is the management Of
157 100000 acres of nationally own
ed land. The dimensions OF the job
says the forester, have grown so
steadily that the service has been
forced, like Alice In Wonderland, to
run at topmost speed to keep abreast
of itself. Nineteen years ago, when
the Department Of Agriculture took
over the national forests, the work
vas largely protection from fire, with
the construction of simple improve
ments on a limited scale, the hand
ling of sheep and cattle grazing, and
provisions for the timber needs of
settlers and local communities. Their
great bodies of merchantable timber
were largely undeveloped and I'M
mapped wildernesses. Except in
limited areas, roads and trails were

AUTOMOBILES
MAY PAY TAX
AS

Forty per cent of the automobiles
licensed in Wyoming during 1924
escaped taxation as personal proper
ty. Eighteen thousand automobile
owners. it Is estimated, at some per-
iod during the year operated in the
state licensed motor driven vehicles
on which they paid no property tax.
This situation, disconcerting for
taxation officials, was revealed late
in the year through analysis of the
personal property assessments in the
several counties of Wyoming. or
approximately $4,000 Ears licensed
for operation In the state, taxes were
collected ON only approximately 27,-
900. 1t Is stated. This situation, in
v%estigation established, resulted from
the removal from the state Of about
40 per cent of the cars licensed be-
tween the date of licensing and ex-
piration Of the period within which
taxes must be paid.
Moving to prevent repetition OF
this situation. county assessor and
county commissioners probably will
recommend to the 1925 legislature
that the taxation of automobiles be
discontinued and that to offset the
loss of revenue from this discontin-
uance, and that from the removal Of
cars licensed to operate In this state
but removed from the state before
the expiration of the year, the auto
mobile license fees be increased on
al equalized basis sufficiently to
make the license revenue hereafter
equal to the license revenue hereto
for plus the revenue that should have
been derived from machines that
heretofore have not been taxed. The
object of the proposed change would
be that at the time an automobile was
licensed there would be collected
from the license a sum, over and
above the heretofore customary IL
cense fee. equivalent to taxes. The
system would provide in effect for
the collection In advance of taxes
on automobiles.
An Illuminating analysis Of the
taxation situation In Wyoming has
been made public by the State Board
of Equalization at the end of 1924.
1t reveals that of the taxes collected
in Wyoming, the state collects only
's14.4 per cent, and counties. munic-
qualities and school districts $50
per cent. Further information con
veyed by this analysis follows:

ROYALTY
GETS GAS WELL
MAHONEY DOME

One of the best gas wells in the
Mahoney Dom section was brought
in by the Hughes Royalty company
the latter part of last week. The
Dakota sands were encountered at
a depth of about $500 feet and it is
estimated that between 10 and ~
million cubic feet of gas per day
were struck when the bit was drill
ed into about 20 feet of the sands.
There was a rock pressure of 500
pounds.
During the past two months sew
eral wells have been completed in the
Mahoney Dome section and practic-
ally all of them have been producers.
1t is believed hat there will be con-
siderable activity in this section dur
ing the coming spring and summer.
The Hughes well is the farthest
north of any of the wells which have
been drilled on this structure.

RIDE
MADE TO CATCH
NASH ROADSTER

On Wednesday morning, w. Garrett
son, deputy sheriff at Medicine Bow,
phoned to Undersheriff Lemoine that
he thought a 1925 Nash roadster,
sport model. which had been stolen
from Chef E. Miller at Sterling, Colo.
had passed through that city early
Wednesday morning.
Un~dersheriff Lemoine left Raw
Inns in a Dodge roadster, headed to-
ward Medicine Bow, about 1890
Wednesday morning and he had gone
only about four miles when n Nash
roadster passed him, headed toward
Rawlins. Lemoine motioned for the
man to stop but instead the driver
OF the Nash stepped on the gas and
continued his journey west. Lemoine
turned around and started in pur-
suit and had one only a short dis
lance when the Dodge stopped. Just
about that time a laundry Ford
came by so LemOine climbed aboard
and came on into this city.
The Nash driver had refueled in
Parco and instead of visiting in
Rawlins he made a nonstop trip
through the city. Lemoine got off
of the Ford at the Rawlins garage
and asked the employees at that
place to give him the fastest car
they had. Percy Skinner took the
wheel OF a ~Studebaker six and in the
company of Lemoine they started out
after the Nash.
When but a few blocks out of
the city limits they spied the Nash
again. When the Nash driver real
lied he was being chased he fed
the car all the gas she had and for
a few minutes he gained on the
Studebaker, however, in a short
time the latter named car warmed
up a bit and got to rolllng-the dis
lance between the two cars was
lessened and finally the two cars were
close enough together for Lemoine
to- fire n shot at the tires. The first
shot missed its mark. but the second
n punctured n of the front tires
on the Nash. within a very few
minutes time Lemolne drew up along
side the Nash and that driver found
a pistol starring him in the face. He
ran into the ditch and stopped.
The man. who gave his name as
Homer Johnson. age "a, was arrest
ed and was brought to- Rawlins
whore he is being held in the county
jail until the Sterling police come
after him. The Nash had a Colorado
license. No. 2133SS, on II but in the
seat of the car were two Wyoming
licenses, No. 1929. The. car was
stolen from Sterling. Colorado. ON

GAS SHOWING
AT HATFIELD
NO. 2 WELL

President Hatfield of Hatfield No.
2 Oil Company states that a nice
gas flow was encountered yesterday
at a depth of 1904 feet in the bottom
of the second Wall Creek sands. Just
above this gas another flow of water
was also struck.
Drilling has been suspended in this
well as it will be necessary to run
a string of six-inch casing in order
to shut off the water and permit
further drilling. This casing will be
set at 37O4 feet and the hole then
continued to the Dakota sands. The
hole will then be underreamed and
the casing landed on top of the Da-
kota sands.
President Hatfield is cry opti-
mistic over the shOwings in this well
and is confident that the Dakota
sands will be productive.

The story as 1t could be wormed
out of Rosie Jaramillo and the
statement she made to the local Of
ficers was to the effect that the
couple had q%uarreled on Tuesday
evening. After theSquarrel Rosie re-
turned to her sisters home Cher
mother Mrs. Rieta Romero also lived
at the home). On Wednesday morn
ing Vigil saw the mother and told
her that he would shoot the mother
as we'll as the girl if Rosie did not
return to him.
On Wednesday evening the mother
ana two daughters went to church
and were les their home shortly
before nine o'clock when they saw
Vigil. He was some distance from
them when he pulled a gun and it
is believed thai by mistake he shot
Mrs. TrujillO, however, another YER
sion of the affair was that Mrs. Tru-
jillo grabbed his gun and Is the shell
was exploded the bullet went through
her thigh. The story is somewhat
hard to obtain for 1t is difficult to
get the participants to make any
statements.
1t is reported that Vigil, in trying
to force Rosie into the house. had
the gun against her and in the course
of the tussle she was shot through
the abdoman.
The local officers were notified
but by the time they arrived on the
scene Vigil had made his escape. A
search was made of all the Mexican
houses on the South Side but he could
not be found. The officers are
searching the city and several of them
have spread out in different direc-
lions in the country.
The women we're taken to the Me-
mortal hospital and their condition
is reported to be about the same as
1t was last evening. Mrs. TrujillO
will probably o but Rosie is
very low.
Vigil has been around Rawlins for
some time. and has been playing the
violin in the orchestra that plays for
the South Side dance hall.
Later: Reports from the Memorial
hospital state that Rosie Jaram!llo
died at 2:25 this afternoon.

STARS MONDAY

In the basketball game played in
the Rawlins high school gymnasium
on Monday night of this week the
American Legion team romped over
the Saratoga Stars with a 80 to Is
score The contest was very clean,
the players on both sides showing the
best of craftsmanship, and the game
was interesting even though the
score was one-sided.
The Saratoga quintet took the lead
soon after the game began and when
the first quarter ended the score
stood Saratoga 6, Rawlins 2. In the
second quarter the Legion five pull
ed up their score so that it read at
the end of the half, Rawlins 10, Sar-
atoga z. The game was fairly fast
and the score vas close enough that
it kept the crowd thoroughly inter
ested.
In the third quarter the Legion
team rolled in a few more baskets,
but in the last quarter the local
squad hit it's old stride and rolled
in a number of goals-the final
score being Rawlins 80, Saratoga Is
