With a bullet wound that penetrates the lung and kidney he lies at the County hospital fighting for Ufe while doctors claim n taken nothing else for him than the* bare | #hance of recovery. Garvey was shot about 6:30 o'clock last night at 334 Wert B street by Patrolman Pile of the police department in the cours of his duty. The victim of the bullet had been raging from the effects of too much moonshine and had made @ lunge at the policeman in an effor to overcome him and thus make his encape. Garvey's offense went down on the police blotter as “drunk and creating ® disturbance.” It was the same of-} fense that he had committed many times before and for which he had served time in both the city and county jaila, Numerous times the man had made his boasts that he would never be taken alive, and it was common talk within certain circles of Casper that ‘some day Jim Garvey would clean up on a policeman.” He never cleaned up. When Officer Pile first saw Garv yesterday afternoon the man was | evidently very intoxicated. He was | staggering along the street, stopping Tong enough to attempt to kick in a | door at 225 West B street. With the | strength of a bull, he would likely | have achieved his object without much trouble had he not been drawn |in another direction by the officer | who succeeded in getting him to go as far as 334 West B where Pile | pushed his prisoner into a shack | Charles Crump who lived next door came out to ascertain the cause of | the disturbance. Hoe was instructed |by Officer Pile to call the patrol | wagon. While wagon. the the Crump was the prisoner tore open door. Two hundred pounds drunken’ humanity, devoid of reason and intent only on his one ambition. not to submit peacefully to the law he looked down on the older and much smaller man A few inarticulate but threatening words, a crouch and attempted leap were stopped by the bullet from the gun of the wary officer who had de termined not to take chances with his man. Garvey fell back on the floor of the dingy little room. It looked for a moment as though he were to fulfill his threat and to be taken but not while he lived. The ambulance was sent for and calling Garvey was immediately taken to the hospital where he was placed under the care of Dr. W. A. Kimball and Dr. H. L. Harvey. ies Inspire Casper s; Impressive Parade Feature tfon, clty and county officials, department, the school children, the members of the Moose lodge, the women of Mooseheart legion, Knights ot Columbus, Knights of Pythias Parkerton band, Salvation Army, and the members of the Elks lodge, were the organizations which paraded in the order named. The turnout of the school children was impressive, covering about three blocks. .All the pupils were dressed in clothes appropriate to the occasion At the court house another flag was presented to the county commis: sioners, Jack Scott and Dr. G. T. Morgan receiving it from the hands of C. T. Weidner. Persons who stood on East Second street watching for the parade saw the greater part of it, but raised the question of the location of the school \children who seemed to have gone off at a tangent and have dropped out of sight so far as the crowds on this thoroughfare were concerned. |The management of the parade did not desire to make the children walk too far and so they were not required to cover any more territory than necessary, Their willingness to co- operate with those who were staging the parade was marvelous, as has already been observe It would be difficult to pick out one feature of the parade or one organi- zation and give it unusual notice, fire the end in view. The obtaining of the Parkerton band to come to Cas. per and take part in the festivities is a feature however that is noteworth} | This musical organization is de! Ing of a good deal of credit, as also the American Legion band. Without either much of the effect of the ceremonies would have been lost The Knights of Khorassan who followed the Knights of Columbus came out in full dress uniform and were quite a spectacle. Dr. J. F. O'Donnell, adjutant and general manager of the whole affair worked hard for. several weeks get- ting the parade in order and is di serving of notice for his labor in this respect. ‘JOB FOR EVERYBODY,’ REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL SURVEY WHICH WYOMING'S PROSPERITY Increased Activity and Expansion in Oil, Railway Construction, Agriculture and Building Program Reported by Employment Committee.
