: z « ee MONDAY, SEPT. 16, 1918 } | MEDAL WON BY ENGLISH WOME One: Hundred of Fair Sex Deco- rated “for Bravery in the Feld” as Result of Dar- ing Service at Front i LONDON, Aug. 18.. (By Mail.) — The highest honor English war wom- en have won is the Military medal. The soldiers’ silver médal “fot bravery in the field” has now been conferred on nearly a hundred plucky British Women. Among many wonderful examples of courage recorded in the official citations are these: Sister Charlotte Lillian Annie Robinson. “For conspicuous devotion to duty and courage when & stationary hos- pital was struck by four bombs from an enemy Aeroplane and one wing was practically cut in twe, many pa- tients being buried in the debris. Sister Robinson at very great pér- sonal risk went in among the ruins to assist in recovering the patients, quite regardless of danger, her one thought being to rescue the patients. She displayed magnificent coolness and resource.” Sister Nellie Galvin. “For bravery and devotion to duty during an enemy air raid when four enemy bombs were dropped on the biilding occupied by the hospital causing much damage to the ward in which Sister Galvin was on night duty. She remained in the ward at- tending the sick, several of whom were wounded, and carried on her work as if nothmg had happenéd. She displayed the gféatest coolness and devotion. to duty.” Staff Nurse Beatrice Dascombe. “For gallantry and devotion to! duty during an enemy air raid when her ward, being destroyed by a bomb and herself wounded by a bomb she insisted on remaining at her post and attending to the wounded.” Sister Mary Hilen Davis. “For gallantry and devotion to! duty during an enemy air raid. When |_ the Sisters’ quarters were wrecked and bombs were falling, she showed a fine example and assisted mate- rially in controlling the situation and attending to the Sisters who were woufided.”” Migs Katherine Margaret Fresh- field. “For gallantry and devotion fo duty during an enemy air raid. The ward in which she was working was destroyed by a bomb, but she con- tinued to attend to her patients, and was herself very severely wounded.” Commandant Winifred Eleanor Sarah Mount Batten. “For gallantry and flevotion ‘to duty during an enemy air raid. She} superintnded the work of the envoy, drove an ambulance car herself dur- ing the raid, and by her coolness and disregard for her own dafety ent sured the prompt removal of the| wounded to hospital.” | Nurse Mary Gwynnedd Campbell. | “For gallantry \and devotion to) duty during an enemy air raid, when | buildings were set on fire. She re- moved about in full glare regardless | of imminent danger, taking patients | to safety, and inspiring confidence in all.” | Following is the citation of the! French army corferring’the Croix de | Guerre on Miss Anna Mackinnon, British nurse attached to the French Flag Nursing corps: “A nurse who, under the diffi-| cult circunistances of the withdrawal of the ambulance under enemy fire, continuped to attend the sick and; wounded up to the last minute, with} remarkable courage and sang-foid, | thus demonstrating the qualities/ which all her chiefs have recognized in her during the three years that she has devoted herself to the French soldiers.” ee SE PRISONER BREAKS JAIL; TAKES LOCKS WITH HIM (From Glenrock Gazette.) The escape of another prisonér from the city jail last Saturday night emphasizes the great need of a place of detention at least as secure as a wire waste paper basket. The pres-| ent jail is a huge joke, fit only as aj} repository for men who are too drunk to make an attempt to escape. Boyd Faulkner, a young man want- ed by Texas authorities on a felony charge, is the latest prisoner to prove the absolute worthlessness of the jail. | He was arrested in the oil fields Sat-| urday by Deputy Sheriff Irby Lam} on information from Gainesville, Ga. Lam wired thé Sheriff in exas that he had the man, but was obliged to wire again Sunday morning that the prisoner had flown. Unquestionably Faulkner haid aid from the outside. The flimsy cell lock had been bat- tered off, also ohe on the outer door and the locks were carried away, probably as souvenifs. List your property with ts. The LOVERS’ WAR SALT GREEK TO. HAVE NEW RIG Local Interests Secure Title to Land on Which Time Limit ‘ Had Expired One of the few pieces of property in the Salt Creek field that is not in- volved in the present litigation, and which is also close in as to production is to be placed on the market shortly. This is about the last chance for the public to get in on an oil prop- erty in the Salt Creek field without buying into a law suit. Recently Mr. Mosher, of the well- known drilling firm, found that the lease given by the State to certain parties on Section 16-39-78 had ex- pired on account of the time limit and the séction being school land, the State was not concerned in the withdrawal order. Mr. Mosher, Harry Adams and R. G. Taylor ob- tained a lease on the property from the State and will develop the prop- erty immediately. The first well will be drilled on a 40-60 basis, and there will be 250 units placed onsale at $100 each. These units will entitle the owner to share equally in the oil production of the north half of Section 16, which lies closest to the oil-bearing portions of the Salt Creek field. The tools are now going into the section, and according to eminent geologists and engineers, the hole will find the second Wall Creek sand 250 feet higher than the Cosden well close by, which found the sand at 2800 feet. GAS SUPPLY FOR RIVERTON SOON Riverton is to have natural gas if the present plans and application for Franchise go thru. The supply of the fuel is to be taken from the big gas- ser of the Producers and Refiners at Sand Draw, which is considered large enough to warrant the building of a line and the application for the right to pipe the town. The matter of obtaining the pipe for the line will be the greatest draw- back, but this difficulty can be over- come if the fuel commission and the director of steel supply will issue per- mits for the work. ONLY ONE GRADE OIL IN SINGLE SAND AT LANDER Because the oil from Wyo-Kota well near Lander has a larger quan- tity of gas than usual the operators are trying to boost the quality of the oil with the claim that it is of a higher gravity. No field has ever been known to produce two grades of oil from the same sand. There are several fields in the country where different grades are produced from different sands but that is not the case in the Lan- der field. : RAYNOR COMES | HERE TO WORK H. V. Rayuor, formerly with sev- efal well known oil firms in the Lan- der fields, has accepted a position with the Midwest here in their land | department. Mr. Raynor made the trip up to} | Casper from Rawlins a few days ago} in a Ford car in six hours over the Red Desert trail. This is probably | the record for that trail and distance. | we CITY CROSSINGS | INTERRED HERE The crossings over some of the strects it the business district or contiguous theréto are a disgtace to Caspér. One nid and a shovel work- ing for. two or threé days at the out-| side could make all the crossings fit to wall: over so the matter of expense | cannot be the eatise of not keeping} the crossings clean. Neither can it be ignorance of the| condition on the part of those who were to look after this part of the city’s duties for this dirt has covered the crossifgs since early last sum-| mer and, in fact, in some cases since last winter. Several walks about the city are also in bad shape due to the accumulatioh of dirt which becomes | muddy with each fainfall, but this) betokens a cateless real estate owner! and it is not the city’s fault except that the city should. sce to. it that such nuisances are done away wath.) stiias det Cerra Mail us your Liberty Bonds, high-! est prices paid.

The gas well drilled by this, firm last winter is still shut in and the company may either drill it deeper or else put down a new hole} to see what the lower sands hold. In the Buffalo Basin, where the Sage Creek Pet is also operating, the work has been suspended for several months but President Van} Houten, who has ben-in Wyoming | for the past few weeks, expects to straighten matters out so that work wil soon be under way there, too. The California Wyoming well is drilling around 2,000 feet and will have the sand soon. Maverick Springs is not doing as} well as was expected when the Sheri- dan people brot in their gusher. The Ohio, Carter, and the Sheridan haye each brot in a dry holé on the dome} and the Sheridan has done even worse and brot in another one, not exactly dry as the holes were water wells, but in the oil men’s estimation they might as well have been dry as they could have been pulled out and used for postholes.
