' HEMPHILL BUSY TRAINING. BIG JESS WILLARD Champion of Boxing World De- pends on Former Casper Policeman to Put Him Into Shape for Ring Battle. The Willard-Dempsey fight is brot closely home to many Casper sport followers because the giant title holder is mainly dependent on a Casperite to put him in training to take the midget challenger’s measure. In a recent issue of ‘the Police Gazette, considered one of the lead- ing sport papers of the country, a full page picture of Willard and Jack Hemphill, the Casper man is shown. The title-holder The Casper Daily Ecibune _ Tom Mix, with five reels of stunts and peppery action, is coming to the Iris theater next Wednesday in a play called “The Coming of the Law.” This drama of life in the West is taken from the book by Charles Alden Seltzer. The scenario was written by Dennison Clift, and/ the production was staged by Arthur Rosson. In the story, Mix, in the character bf Kent Hollis, enters Dry Bottom, New Mexico, like any other tender- foot, without guns; but he has brot with him two powerful fists and a} clear and cool brain. There is no law in Dry Bottom when he arrives. The cattle rustlers, headed by big Bill Dunlavey, are running the town. The sheriff does their will, and the only -honest official is Judge Graney ;—whose attempts to keep things straight are continually thwarted. {But when the Judge and Hollis get end his{g0ing they soon rout the bad men _|daille Militaire.” Ordinarily officers PLAY OF THE WEST | By WM. PHILIP SIMMS | (United Press Staff Correspondent) | PARIS, (By Mail.)—Marshal Pe- {tain expects to pay a visit to Ameri- ca as soon as circumstances permit. There are few leaders of men more jlikable than Petain. His tastes are simplicity itself. He lives simply and dresses simply. When I saw him at {his headquarters he was wearing a horizon-blue uniform, without an inch of braid of any description. Only jis seven stars, on each sleeve, to show his rank, gave his dress even the slight glint. But even these stars were small and of dulled silver. He wore no service stripes though en- titled to the maximum, which is six. On his breast only one bit of rib- bon was pinned—without the decora- tion itself—and this was the “Me- trainer are sparring and confident in}and bring the law into Dry Bottom |are not entitled to this; only privates the result of the St. Paul battle is evidenced from every corner. Willard att his time is not under estimating his diminutive challenger, who is known to have a sleep pro- ducer in each hand, but he is de- pending on Hemphill, to put him over the road in all the trick punches | known to Dempsey. Hemphill left Casper about six weeks ago to assist Willard in train- ing and has been with the champion ever since. In a recent statement to the press Hemphill, stated that Wil- lard would retain the championship, because he had everything a champ should have and was simply too big and husky for any man to stand up before him very long. > TRADES ASSEMBLY T0 FIGHT MEXICAN LABOR SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 26.— Protests against the importation of | 200 Mexican families into Sheridan county by the Sheridan Sugar com- pany to work in the sugar beet fields this summer were filed by the Sheri- darn County Trades and Labor as- sembly at its regular meeting.

Mrs. Bower was badly crushed about the chest, one daughter had an arm and a broken as well as her collar bone, and the other daughter was also seriously injured.

Beta FIVE OVERLAND CARS SOLD IN CITY PAST WEEK During the past week John M. Whisenhunt, recently designated agent for the Overland automobile in Casper has made a record of five cer sales. Another carload of the Popular cars was received in Cas-| per Friday. One of the sales made by Mr. Whisenhunt, was the new de- livery truck of the Webel Commer- cial company. To prove the dependability and endurance of the Overland car an instance is cited which goes far to- ward substentiating the dealers’ claims. On April 5 when Linn Mathewson drove an Overland stock car, Model 90 up the planking on fhe steps and into the lobby of the Lee Huckins hotel in Oklahoma City a new world’s record for automobile performance had been established. This Overland Model 90 had been traveling then continuously for seven days and seven nights in rain and fair, over muddy country roads and slippery city pavements, thru. the traffic of a busy city. The engine had not missed a single explosion in 168 hours of continuous running. There was no gear shift lever for the driver, it having been removed and the gears sealed in high. In the seven days the car traveled over 4,370 miles. That broke the world’s record by 129 miles, Out- stending features of the test are the total running cost for gasoline and oj] was less than 2 cents a mile in 168 hours. The model 90 ran con- tinuously for 168 hours and no ad- justments were made. The carbu- retor was never touched yet the car never missed an explosion. Not even one of the spark plugs had to be changed, | (DELAYED BY RULING WASHINGTON, May 26.—(Spl.) —Soldiers, sailors and marin rs told they could secure the additional travel pay merely on presentation of their discharges, heve since beer. in- leg | fermed that it will be necessary to fill out a blank form of application to accompany the discharge.
