The Weaver company has twenty- seven master rigbuilders in the Lance Creek field and was compelled to move this great number of workers there because of the demands made on the firm by the compa preparing for operations. Most of the rig build- ers of the Weaver company have been brought from ¢ recent operations and while they are! excellent men in their lines, it was necessary for them to become accli- mated which made the work drag a little at first. } The General Petroleum comp: putting up ten rigs out of Ra and recently gave the Weaver com pany the contract for the work soon as some of the rigs in the Creek field are completed Mr. Weaver will start on the order of the General Petroleum company at Rawlins.

The car will be on exhibition but a few days. It is an enclosed type of car, built strictly along the lines as drafted and designed in the Shockley rarage here and forwarded to the Chicago Coach and Carriage company for com- pletion.

Mrs. Gladys Isham Johnston of Cody, left her home in zero weather and sought she in a haystack, where she near- ly perished from exnosure and ex- haustion.

Officer Drons in on His Old Friends PARIS—(By Mail.)——Lieutenant Herbert Hudnut, Iately of rinceton, { and New York, “dropped in” on his old outfit the other day. He came over to France in May attached to an artillery unit. After a few months he was transferred into an observation loon organization. He shook hands all around and ex- pressed the hope that he might “drop in” on them sometime somewhere in France. During the stenuous weeks that followed he lost track of his old “gang.” In the fighting in the Ar-| gonne he was observing the German lines from his sausage balloon when a boche aviater sailed along and opened up~ with his machine gun. Hudnut took to his parachute just in time. The balloon collapsed in a burst of flame. In a couple of min-- utes Hudnut alighte itly in the top of a tree and sta to climb down. From the low corton he paused to survey the crowd of sol- diers around the foot of the tree “Whatenell you doing up our tree,” shouted one of the officers. It was Hudnut’s old outfit posted under the tree. i ine a te 5 ee js| Printing presses, seven brass and iron < factories and many others. . turing towns of the district, have The Leader has just received its THE INDIANS PROGRESS x shipment of holiday goods and the stock is being placed on the shelves for inspection.
