Hutt's @esire to handle firearms of whatever make and quality, Robert Ford would not have a perforated lower limb to- day. Hutt is a colored gentleman, as is also the victim of his most recent escapade, and he is a person who is continually presenting himself as a problem to the police because of his Propensity to make every day @ holl- day and scare the wits out of his neighbors. Last night Hutt went on another rampage. He started out by drink- ing bad moonshine and when he was fully tanked up he went out to raise a commotion. Ford was the first man with whom he came n contact, nd a quarrel ensued. Hutt wasn't going to quarrel. He was going to ad done its work. Hutt was arrest- ed immediately by the police while Ford was taken to his home where @ doctor was called to dress the wound ed leg. SLAYER GETS LIFE TERM SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Aug. 7—An- tone Johnson of Egan, 8. D., is under sentence of life imprisonment follow- ing his plea of guilty to a charge murder for shooting W. B. Johnson, & neighbor, who attempted the role| Howls from hungry and broke Arapahoes rent Casper’s clear skies this noon and Walt Wray conducted twenty braves to thé booths of his Grill cafe on Second street near Cen- ter and ordered the grub stacked be- fore them. A tribal cry from one of the squews brought the rest of the females from their council grounds in front of the Rialto theater and from ‘up and down the streets. In all there were probably 30 squaws and their papooses jammed in front of the Grill cafe, at the rush hour, thelr own pangs of hunger gnawing deeper as they watched their lords and masters taking their fill. Wray’s generosity was stopped only by his inability to crowd the hapless women and chil- dren into his eating place at noon- time. The Indians maintain that they have not been paid for their part in putting over the recent Rodeo. Since Monday, they stolidly declare, they have waited patiently for the mazuma due them so that they might leave for the Arapahoe reservation near Lander. This morning, they say, they were to have been met in front of the Rialto theater and paid off. From nine o'clock until noon the squaws and children were ensconced in the sidewalk at the appointed place, the chiefs and bucks ranging the streets in search of their elusive pay. The zoo broke loose at noon when the sun reached its zenith, and the world was told that there were hun- gry Indians without a cent to eat on. On top of these unformal comp!aints from the Indians have been numer- ous demands for pay due from those participating in the four-day show and from those upon whose labor the success of the affair hinged. Out of these demands for the thus unforth- coming wages has spread the rumors that funds taken in during the cele- bration have been found missing, mis- placed and concealed. In a statement given this after noon to a ‘Tribune representative, Clarence Bell, vice-president of the Casper Rodeo association, declared that all talk of any of the associa- tion's funds being missing was abso- lutely false, “The revenue men have carefully gone over the receipts, found no money missing, and have deducted the amount due the government and turned the balance back into the treasury. The matter of a final checking up now ts in the hands of our auditor and a complete financial statement wil be issued tomorrow. While there {s no basis to the ru- mors that intimate misplaced funds, there is a shortage of the amount necessary to take care of outstand) ing accounts and labor charges. This shortage is to be made up among in- dividuals here and every bill will be paid off within the next two or three days. “The 'mistake has been that any contractors, decoraters, etc., were paid before labor charges were put in INDIANS GO HUNGRY, THEY SAY, WHEN PAY IS SLOW; RODEO TO MEET ALL BILLS IN FEW DAYS the clear. This error in payment was due to the supposition that suf- ficient funds had been taken in to completely cover all charges against the association without delay. The Rodeo was a paying proposition as far as the performance went and in the number of tickets sold. The fact that some additions had to be made to the bleachers and other improve ments put in caused the deficit.” In speaking of the Indians, Mr. Bell said that they had eufficient food at thelr.camp and” that” they were not to have come to town for thelr pay, They will receive the money due them some time this af- ternoon, he added.

GOODBYE OF LADDIE BOY IS BRIEF WASHINGTON, Aug. 8—(By The Associated Press.)—Laddie Boy said his last goodbye to his master in the east room of the White House this morning and there may be some hard hearts who will say that a dog couldn't know, but it seemed to those about him as if he did. Mrs. Harding, who loves Laddie Boy no less than her husband did told the attendant whose special charge the pup has been, to take him in the east room for a moment be- cause he seemed to want to go. Alertly he sniffi the heavy air freighted with ths fragrance of the funeral blooms, walked solemnly, around the bier lying under the great crystal chancellen, and poked his nose in the flowers, ax» if looking for the master he knew was there bu couldn't see and then turned brown eyes on the White House attaches with an inquiring look which wes too much for them to endure without their own eyes turning misty. Laddie Boy knew his master was back in the house but he seemed to sense that for some reason he couldn't find him and, lke a good dog, he concluded there was nothing to 49 but go back to his favorite spot and wait, faithful to the end.

Amid the ten of thousands of his silent countrymen grouped along the way he passed in such state as only the great dead of the nation may know. And beyond the brief hour of the ceremony of sorrow there awaited for him rest eternal on the sofl that gave him birth. Down the wide avenue he was car. ried today with marching legions tramping ahead to lay him under the dome of the capitol, awhile ere he goes back to his native state to stay forever. That high resolve of duty had brought him death end with it the peace and quiet he loved, but which he could set aside at the na tion's call. With General Pershing such a price. Came also two men who before him had held that office, one to be stricken and so crippled in his winding sheet. passing it marked, the religious cér- emony.took a bare twenty minutes. ‘Then, under. the, ceaseless vigil of motionless sentries who stood at the corners of the bier, the great doors were opened for the waiting thous- ands outside to pass slowly by the sket on which the sorrow of tho tion and the world poured out teday Through the brief service a slender, womanly figure sat erect and motion: loss beside the casket on {ts high base of honor.’ In, deepest black and with a heavy vell hiding her features, Mrs. Harding faced her public ordeal of sorrow with stoic courage. Never a break in the firm spirit that has borne her up through the tragic days was visible to the pitying eyes that dwelt upon her. ‘When the last word had been said, she walked slowly out through the senate corridor, her hand barely touching the arm of Secretary Chris- tian her slender figure straight, with no hint of the crushed heart within. And for the first time since he died, with her eyes upon him, far away in an Francisco, the precious casket was left by this strong, loving, loya! wife and widow to the keeping of the nation for the little hours until she claims it again to bear {t back to Mar- Jion and its long rest. The thousand seats that crowded the wide circle of the rotunda were filled, save for those reserved for the mourners who came with the funeral cortege in the parade of proud sorrow from the White House, long before the marching hosts arrived in the p'aza on which the building fronts. Out there, just a few months ago, Warren Harding pledged his honor and his life to the great task he was to undertake. To just a few yards from the spot where he then stood to send his oath of loyalty ring ing around the world, a solemn mo- ment awaited him while his grateful countrymen testified before all men that he had kept that faith to the death. ‘There was a hushed murmur among those gathered in the great chamber as they waited. All around the wall stood banked masses of flowers in every beauty of design and color hu- man ingenuity could devise to do hon or to the dead. Then the distant throbbing of mut- fled drums stole in through the tall doorway that looked eastward to the rising sun.

Harding was given into God’s keeping at noon today by the men of high place in the nation who had served with him in the short years of his leadership for the glory of the flag that was As simple in its dignity and its high faith in the goodness of God as the man whose riding ahead, the marching thousands of the escort led the way, the steel of their bayonets glittering above them. Sol- diera, sailors, marines and citizen sol- diers, all were there and behind them came the new president, still bowed in grief that his high office came at self as he would to the sorrowful duty of the day. Behind these, in endless array, marched the great body of American citizenry and the men who keep the wheels of a great govern- ment moving in the huge, allent build- ing about. Military bands, interspersed in the columns, played old, old hymns that stir and comfort. The hush and dim mystery of last night, when the flag draped casket came to its brief space of quiet in the White House, was lacking. But there was no sound or movement in the great crowds that lined the way until that fateful bur- den under its colorful, glorious bunt- ing had been carried by on alent wheels to be lifted to the catafalque in the great stone chamber of the cap ftol rotunda. ‘There in keeping with the «fmplic- ‘ty of the man who lay dead, the funeral services were of brief, 1m Dressive nature. Afterward, in {ts place of honor beneath the dome, the body was to Ife until nightfall while thousands upon thousands filed past the bier with bent, uncovered heads to bid farewell to the upright, kindly man 80 soon to leave Washington for- ever.
