LOVE TRAILS OF FOLLOWED FOR MYSTERY’ WOMAN Hatred and Jealousy Believed Motive in Killing of Earle Re of Stiletto and Gunshot Wounds By ROBERT A. DONALDSON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17. slender stiletto ended the life of Earle Remington, aviator and wealthy clubman, was being sought tonight by the police, The “love trails’ of the d the police who,are convinced that hatred, and jealousy were responsible for the murder. A special effort is be'ng made to trace his whereabouts on the day of the murder, He had planned to go to his romantic R'ncon rancho near Chino on that day, but telephoned ‘his employes there that he would be ‘un- able to make it. Where was he during the after- noon: and evening—before he returned at m'dnight to be accosted by his un- known assailants, one of them a beau- t’ful woman—is. the. problem which the police are trying to solve. Remington wad jfleasant, but known | as very close mouthed about his per- sonal affairs. He had women friends —but no o1c icnows just who they were. His w'fe, Mrs. Virginia Rem- ‘ngton, was too pol'te to ask him, she adm'‘tted, although she knew he was associating with other women after} their love cooled and died. A few weeks before his death she had taken steps look'ng to a divorce, and had consulted an attorney, with the intention, it is understood, of ma- king charges of infidelly. Mrs. Remington is a beautiful dan- cer, a society leader and charity worker, noted for her b'zarre enter-| tainments. Only a few weeks ago she was the sensat'on of the Bachelors’ ball, the most brilliant event of social! season. At another time she rented! a roadhouse, and ran ‘t as a society gambling den from which the pvo- ceeds were to go to charity. It was, highly successful a few weeks, but later fa'led to bring in the revenue. ‘An. autopsy performed today re- vealed that Remington had received a fatal wound from a charge of fine shot fired from a shotgun at c’ose range, and had also been stabbed by a_st'letto in the heart as he was stag- gering from the wound.

One of h's recent in | _| Chino, with whom Remington had had |Other women, | police said. Could Casper ra'se a million dol- lars for putting through the Wyo- ming North and South railroad? ‘Th's is the question that is being put squarely into the face of the public at this time. That Casper could raise th's is the opinion of those who have studied the subject. That Casper ‘vould be inestimably benefited by so ra‘sing it, is a fact beyond all argument. Speaking before the Casper Real- tors’ association yesterday, Senator John B, Kendrick sald, “I would | rather have one lot that I could sell than two lots I could not sell.” In these words he struck at the heart of things which Is hold'ng Casper LAIN AVIATOR mington, Who Died —A mystery woman, whose ead man are being traced. by vestments fost him a good dea! of| money, as well as a number of others} who were in with him.

The ident! of this c'rcle of friends is be- ing investigated, for the police be- eved that some one of the group knows the motive for the murder—; a:d probably wielded the fatal stiletto, herself, way Women Questioned LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17.—A young married woman and two other unmar. ried women have been questioned by the police in the investigation of the murder of Earle Remington, aviator and wealthy clubman. From the three women much has) been learned of Remington's move- ments during the past two weeks, Police denied they were hunting for a movie actress, branding a pub. lished report to that effect as “a pure fake."

CASPER, wyo,, St from making greater strida: In ad- vance. Some people in Casper are prop- erty poor. It is a large city spread over a largo territory. It is a city of unlimited wealth in real estate, but much of this real estate re- mains static and does not produce to the full extent of its péwer. Much of it is but a burden on tax- payers who are reaping no benefit from it. The only way to remove the bur- den of taxation is to create property demand. Real estate unused is a | luxury. To let it lle year after year | without producing anyth'ng of ben- efit to the community its an error that {s not without is price in the property of many large realty own- ers. It has been reiterated time and gain that the Wyoming North and | South railroad will mean increased property values. There is not a real estate owner in Casper who could not afford to d'spose of part of his property to this cause and profit As a result of the disposition. ‘This is In addition to cash bonuses which should be forthcoming from other sources. It would mean that the property thus donated would be taken over by the railroad, that its taxes would be paid by the railroad, and that it would be turned again at an oppor- tune time without either the’ ne- cessity of turning it at a loss or holding # for extremely high prices. Casper is on the mark. It will jump forward in the race whenever this is done, and not until it Js done. The citizens of Casper can | not afford to hold back the march of its progress by any velfish inter- est, or by any ‘dea of holfdng out and letting the other fellow make the sacrifice. “Tt4s tor éach man and womah n- dividually to make the sacrifice, and to do it in proportion tothe ability to come out from under it with suc- cess at hand. Casper is being weighed balance. It has never failed. ne EIGHT SEIZED IN RAIDS ON , MANY PLACES Raiding squads of the _ sheriff's office last night arrested no less than e'ght alleged Hquor violators and seized considerable moonshine to be used as evidence against the guilty parties.
