Foster and Sheriff Perry A. Morris took the proper action yesterday afternoon in suspending Under Sheriff Cantlin from duty, pending a full investigation of the shooting of Mrs. J. D. Newcomb, wife of the proprietor of the North Center Hotel. Mrs. Newcomb, it will be vividly recalled, was perhaps fat- ally injured when a Cantlin’s gun bored through the back of the Ford in which she was riding on the Yellowstone Highway near Evansville Friday night. The Under Sheriff said immed- jately after the accident that he had fired but two shots. Other eye witnesses reported that four shots were fired. Cantlin says that he shot at the ground and the bullet which injured Mrs. Newcomb must have ricocheted, glancing from a rock in the road. The hole in the back of the car, it is reported by men who have seen the machine is a smooth, round hole. Wild talk of “lynching” penetrat- ed some Casper circles last night. ‘That was ridiculous, on the face of it, We leave lynchings to the “Solid South,” at least for the most part. Cesper wants no part of them. Further wild talk will probably result from this unfor- tunate tragedy. It always does, but there Is no reason to go at a solution of the matter with hys- teria born of inadequate informa- tion and unreliable facts. The Under Sheriff says he shot nt the ground. If the hole in the back of the car is round—and the bullet must have passed through the hole to hit Mrs. Newcomb—then the bullet did not glance. It was a direct hit. Bullets which glance from stones do not make that kind of a hole. And if some of the facts, as now reported, are true, it is probable that a charge of man- slaughter may be preferred. At last the Under Sheriff finds himself in serious difficulty. The cause of all this trouble was —or is alleged to be—that the New- mb car, after repeated cautions, id not dim its lights, as is required by law. That seems at first blush trivia But remember that statis- ticlans for accident insurance com- panies have repeatedly stated that from sixty to eighty percent of the automobile accidents which occur at night are the result of careless persons who refuse to dim their lights. Under Sheriff Cantlin, if he shot at the ground, was unwise. Cer- tainly the accident proves that he was a dangerous official. Men who shoot on that sort of provocation are not good public s« he may have thought for the public weal t Yet bullet from| have been protecting somebody else as rumor has it. A thorough inves- | tization, which is what. the Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney have very properly ordered, is the only thing | which can determine the matter. SOUTHERN ANTI-MOB | The stubborn and successful fight |made by Sheriff Dixon in Savannah| | Georgia, against a mob bent on| \ lynching a negro contrasts strikingly |with the course followed in many, | instances ‘by other peace officers. | At Columbia, Missouri, recently the | Sheriff meekly stood aside and let |a mob break into the jail, explaining! |afterward that he could not have stopped the lynchers and would only | have caused needless injury to some | of them. The Savannah officer, though he} had an enraged crowd to deal with, stood his ground. He first had a |fire hose turned on the mob, but| |this only brought a rain of bricks. |He then held the mob at bay until! |State troops came and mounted }machine guns around the jail. The |mob did not care to charge under) these circumstances. | In the annual report of lynchings| made by Tuskegee Institute it was| |recorded that during the last year| |law officers prevented lynchings in| | fifty-eight instances, either by strat-| |egy or by force. In four cases they used arms. It probably is not merely a coincidence that in the! same year the number of lynchings dropped. Southern sheriffs who resist lynchers do more to hold this evil| in check than any single law could do, It is of course their duty to do so, even at great personal risk, and fortunately there is evidence that the stubbornness of sheriffs in this| | respect is growing. Any community that desires to do so can stop lynch- ings. It can elect sheriffs like Mr. | | Dixon and then back them up in | keeping the peace. | 1 ————————— MOTHERHOOD IN | DENVER The Denver woman who was the | subject of much controversy there a year or two ago has had another |baby. Women have a way of hav- Killed By Fall DOUGLAS, Wyo., June 30.—J. EB. Roberge, aged 30 years, was killed when he fell from the top of one of the tanks at the Clayton tank farm, @ distance of forty-five feet. He struck on his head and was badly mutilated, death being instantaneous, Roberge was a riveter's helper an4 was working on the inside of the tank at the roof. He stepped upon a lossened plank connecting two of the movable scaffolds and Ss plunged to the earth, narrowly miss- ing a fellow workman in the fall. He was unmarried, a sister living at Westfield, Mass., being the only relative, He was a resident of Doug: las since his employment at Clayton. —<$<$<$< Appraisers Named SHERIDAN, Wyo., June 30.— Cherles Skinner, J. A. Church and Earl Green were the appraisers ap- pointed by Judge James H. Burgess to decide on the value of the land to be taken for rights-of-way for the new North and South railroad on the Mattie A. Stout (Mra. Tom A. Stout), Clara D. Burns (Mrs. H. Burns), E. M. Weltner and Samuel J. McNeese ranches on Prairie Dog. Reports of | the apprasers must be submitted| within 69 days, the court ordered. A settlement was made in the case| of Mrs. Pearl M. Snyder. In the Rosebud county, Montana, condemnation cases, Attorney R. E.| McNally of Sheridan will be assisted | by Judge George W. Farr of Miles| City and in the Big Horn county, Montana, cases by Attorney C. F.| 3illette of Hardine Bank May Reopen | GILLETTE, Wyo., June 30,—In all probability, the re-organized Bank of| Gillette will be open for business on Monday, July 9, according to a state- ment made by State Examiner Byron S. Hute. Tho opening could have been ob-| served earlier, but there is so much detail work to be done that the direc-| tors think it best to have all this out of tHe way before doing anything} else, Through the splendid work that has been done here by Mr. Hule, a| direct saving of $200,000 has been effected through the saving of the! bnak from direct failure. The heavy loss will come on the former stock- holders. The expense of lawsuits has been eliminated, the sum of $40,- 000 is made through the action of surety companies, and other conces- sions are also gained. The new directors will meet within a few days to arrange final details. a Progress Noted THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., June 30.— The sulphur plant of the Ohio Min- eral company being built on the E. O. Brutch property two miles west of Thermopolis is nearing completion and with twenty-five men on the job the plant should be turning out 100 tons of the finished product by July 15. About $50,000 is being expended in buildings, maghinery and water system. A 70-ton retort for the re- fining of sulphur and a 26-ton fer- tilizer plant are being installed. Bunk houses, residence for the manager, office building, an assay office are being built. The buildings housing the machinery are nearing com- pletion and the tramway for convey- ing the sulphur ore to the plant is being built, The camp is piped with both hot and cold water. The company has a contract with the General Chemical company to take all of the refined product at the mine, at the same price as is paid for~sulphur at the eastern and south- ern mines of the United States. Bubble Bursted SHERIDAN, Wyo. June 30,.—A day and a half of wedded bliss for Jesus Saliba,» 30, and Josephine Mar- cus, 17, Mexicans, was shattered when a police squad, headed by Chief of Police Ole Pointer, bore in upon their one-room flat at 116 North Sheridan. The two disappeared Tuesday after they had been refused a marriage license by County Clerk Willard 8. Doane because the girl was under age. A few hours latter, the parents and brother of the girl appealed to the police for help in locating them. It now develops thet the two ran away to Hardin, were married and set up housekeeping. Police have not indicated what action they will take. The irate mother of the bride insists that the marriage be annulled forthwith. |ing bables—there is nothing partic- ularly unusual in that. But in this case it has been apparent for some} time that this particular woman should not have had the baby—nor several of those babies which pre- ceeded it . The seventh child ar- rived long after a recommendation had been made to a Denver court that the woman be forced to sub- mit to an operation that would pre- Hey her from becoming the mother of more offspring. | Motherhood is a natural function which can be considered sacred only |as it is made so by the mother her- | self. There were strong reasons for making such an unusual request |of the Denver court—a request, of course, which could not be grant- ed and is not sanctioned by law. The ability to breed, per se, is| neither “holy” nor a great distinc-| tion. The lowest animals have the same capacity. It is only when| a greater inspiration is involved, an | appreciation and acceptance of re- | sponsibility, a desire to give thej| child every chance, denying self— only such things as these make motherhood a sacred vocation. The Denver woman could not take care of six. She was taken to court for neglect, and she boasts that she will have as many more as she likes. There is no law to pre- vent her from so doing, although perhaps there ought to he. But in any case, she has nothing to brag of. Her own record condemns her, She makes herself ridiculous, and ; she makes of motherhood a :ockery. That is a high crime for any woman to commit.

BY JOHN HANDSHAKER (Alias Weed Special Casper Readers: Well, readers, it is sertainly a Hot Skitch what a lot of trouble guys will go to in this world to get them- selves Appreciated and Understood, hey?

He DOUGLAS, Wyo., June 30.—While the property owners on Center and Fourth streets decared overwhelm- ingly in favor of paving those thor- oughfares, the plan was sidetracked when it was found that there was no money available to pay the federal aid proprotion of the work. The funds of the State Highway depart- mnet have all been appropriated and there is none available for the pur- pose for which it is wanted here. While the result is disappointing, it has not dampened the ardor fo those who belleve that the paving of the two streets is the best thing to do and no doubt the plan will proceed as originally intended as soon as the matter of federal afd can be adjusted. ———— Rock Kills Miner KEMMERER, Wyo., June 30.— Vittorio Missaggia, an Italian, was killed by a fall of rock in the Oakley mine. Death was instantaneous, the rock crushing his head. Deceased is survived by his mother who is living in Italy, by his father who is at present in this country but whose address {s unknown; by a brother in Glencoe, a sister in Dia- mondville and a brother residing in California, Stream Stocked RAWLINS, Wyo., June 30.—A party of local anglers planted ap- proximately 600,000 trout in streams in the south end of the county. These fish were recetved from the fish hatchery at Saratoga and were plant- ed in the south fork of the Savery, in Little Jack creek, in Muddy and in Fish creek. It is the co-operation of Superin- tendent Baldwin with local fisher- men that is keeping the county Streams well stocked with trout and enables followers of Isaac Walton to feel essured of good fishing in the years to come. To Build Pool RIVERTON, Wyo., June 30.—The local post of the American Legion under the leadership of Dr. A. B. Tonkin, recognizing the lack of recreation facilities for the people of Riverton, particularly for children, have decided to provide a swimming pool for immediate use. The Legionnaires have secured permission from officials of Ditch No. 1 to excavate and construct a pool on a@ site adjoining the irrigation ditch east of the Riverton high school. Work on the project has been started. To insure sanitary condt- tions a fresh supply of water will be running through thé pool all times. This will be provided for by the in- stallation of a large intake pipe which will divert water {nto the pool from the irrigation aitch and an out- let pipe through which the water will flow back into the ditch. Present plans contemplate the con- struction of bath houses as all swim- mers will be required to wear bath- ing suits. If necessary, shower baths will be installed later. The Legion’s pool is primarily for the kiddies of Riverton, but will be available for use by all citizens of the communit —>—__ Bec} bug juice, guaranteed to kill all vermin; will not stain bed cloth- ing.

The latest version of the juvenile prisoner is that he is 12 years ola his last birthday and left his home at Yolyln, W. Va., last Decoration day after a painful interview with his stepfather and came west to be a real cowpuncher and wear spurs and a red necktie. . | When he first appeared at the sta- tion the youngster’s story was that he was 17, that he had been orphaned two years ago by the death of h mother, and that he was “boing’ his way to San Francisco where he heard that his uncle, Charley Shep- pard had a chicken farm. ‘The youngster was broke, penni- less, and ragged. He was given a free rein at the station, fed, out- fitted with new clothes, and found a! Job. Bit by bit his story was changed, until it was altered in every detail.

Yolyin, W. Va., Sprig, W. Va., and Russell, Ky. The youngster was then held until the police at the four towns could be notified and officers could get in touch with the boy's parents. No answer has yet been re- ceived, and none of his stories is given much credence. The youth demonstrated his lady- killer proclivities when he was given two hours leave by the chief to at- tend a movie. He did not appear it the scheduled hour, and when the night force turned out to locate him, it was discovered that he had three girls, none of whom he had ever seen, dated up for the rest of the evening. | The girls went home unattended however, and the youthful Romeo was peremptorily returned to his cell cot and the door securely bolted be-| hind him. | To Repair Road GILLETTE, Wyo., June 30.—Fol- lowing the visit of inspection of the commissioners of Campbell county| to the old stage line in the northwest | corner of the county, Senator John| B. Kendrick and the commercial club | of Avada pledged support in the! work of repairing the road. According to F. V. Portz, who was in Gillette, the Arvada business men | have pledged the sum of $250 in cash as well as labor, and Senator Ken- drick will build about one mile of road without a cent of expense to| the county, which will also do its! share.
