AGED MAN DIES FROM BEATING (Continued from Page 1.) regarding the association of Sinon and the Van Sickie girl which probably will be brought out at Geesa’s trial which will sound as queer to friends and acquaintances, who have known Sinon for 30 years as rancher, deputy sheriff, saloon keeper and hotel prop- rietor, as the narrative told by the ac- cused and his wife of what tonk place at the Geesa home last Thursday. Although only about 20 years ‘of age, the Van Sickle girl has been married and at one time instituted di- vorce proceedings. She is the daugh+ ter of Mrs. Van Sickle who was em- ployed by Sinon st the Becker hotel before he sold that business a week ago. Mrs. Van Sickle, the older, at one time was the wife of Joseph Pawson, formerty engaged in the transfer business here. Frank F. Sinon came to Wyoming when a young man, perhaps 35 years ago, and for a number of years was engaged in ranching in the Horse Creck district. Sixteen years ago he settled at Pine Bluffs and for a num- ber of years was deputy sheriff there. Later he engaged in the saloon busi- ness at Pine Bluffs. Four years ago he moved to Cheyenne and engaged in fe hofel business here. His wife ied in December, 2919, Mr. Sinon is survived by two daugh- ters in addition to the daughter here- inbefore referred to. They are Mrs. Bryan Cook and Mrs. Frank Lang, doth of Hillsdale, Wyo. He was a member of the Elks lodge. .A sister of the deceased, Mrs. Mary Barr, ar- rivec from Iowa today. Arrangements for the funeral will depend on the progress of the inquest in progress today. AMERICA MUST SET EXAMPLE (Continued from Page 1.) some, perverted by others, and made the subject of distorting propaganda by those who saw in it an obstacle to the realization of their own am- bitions. Some have sought to make our adhesion to this doctrine a justi- fication for prejudice against the ‘United States. They have falsely charged that we sought to hold the nations of the old world at arms length, in order that we might monop- olize the privilege of exploitation for ourselves. Others have protested that the doctrine would never be enforced if to enforce it should involve us in actual hostilities. “The history of the generations since that doctrine was proclaimed has proved that we never intended it selfishly; that we had no dream of exploitation. On the other side, the history of the last decade certainly mmst haye convinced all the world that we stand willing to fight, if nec- essary to protect these continents, these sturdy young democracies from oppression and tyranny. “If we could consult our Washing- ton and our Bolivar today, and if they could adviso us out of their wisdom and experience, they would tell us to go forward in firm confidence that ours is the right course. I believe they would admonish us to cling to that which has been tried, to hold fast to the ‘nstitutions of moderation, of independunce, of gradual but /sure progress.” NEW YORK, Aprfl 19.—Crowds cheered President Harding when he arrived here at 2:30 p. m. today from Washington for the unveiling of the statue’ of Simon Bolivar in Central park. — HK SEE BEN“: K HK — nm Branch 112 West Midwest Ave. Telephone 74W Harold Kramer, Realtor Manager R-29—How many times, as you have driven over the Salt Creek \ pavement, have you remarked’ that you would like to get a homestead right on the paving?
