PAGE SIX\* FAIR SWINDLER'CA BEING SOUGHT BY U. & POLICE Women in Many States Fleeced of $50,000 in Silk Purchases. CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—A nation wide search for a “successful business * woman” who fs believed to have fleec- ed members of her sex out of more than $50,000 in recent months through a spurious agency contract game per- petrated in virtually the entire eastern | half of the United States, was inaug- | rated today by a silk house whose name was often connected with the fraudulent operations. Notices of standing rewards offered in various states, carrying a descrip- tion of the woman, went out to more than 10,000 police chiefs, sheriffs, | marshalls and private detectives. The search js believed to be one of the most extensive ever launched for a woman in America. The objective is described az “pros- Derous looking, usually wearing three | diamond rings, some times appearing with bobbed hair of a reddish or yel- Jow cast, with small ankles and very small feet.

Jack Hoxie, veteran cowboy and western screen star, who plays the title role in “Don Quickshot of the Mio Grande,” the Universal photo- drama of the southwest cattle coun- try, which will be shown at the Wyo- ming theatre today, claims that his favorite pony, Scout, is virtually ideal. It 1s the pony that he rode during the filming of the Univeraa! play and the picture was the pony's initial bow to the screen. H Hoxle rode the range for years before he became a motion picture actor and during his screen career has never forsaken the cowboy roles| in which he made his debut to pic: tureland. And he knows horses per, haps as well #s any man can and| he loves a good horse like a man would love his brother. Scout, he says, is the saddle horse fdeal. Six months before production was started on the Hoxie play the pony had never felt the touch of human hands. He was an unbroken yange pony whose play ground was the Salmon river country of Central Idaho.

Speaking through the columns of this newspaper, the people of North Cas- per who live near the place of em- ployment of this lad, ask that his marked tendency toward recklessness be curbed before it is too late. “The matter of parking in the down- town districts has long been one to trouble the authorities,” says Stanley Benedict, owner of the Benedict Motor company, on the East Yellowstone highway. “It is this ‘hit or miss’ park ing which is responsible for two thirds of the minor accidents !n Casper’s busy section. Smashed fenders, peel- ed running boards, broken wheels badly damaged surfaces are all the re- sult of faulty parking. “Sometime last year the police de- —_—_—— | DELIVERY TRUCK DRIVER OF NORTH CASPER IS SCORED AS MENACE TO SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC partment launched a drive to force Casper automobilists to park right, by painting parking stalls upon the pave- ment, but now the move has come to naught, and while there seems to be a general tendency toward the slanting parking system, still many times one finds a machine parked exactly op- posite to the mass. Do you wonder that minor collisions end damaged cars are many in Casper.” Bob Elliott, who owns one of Cas- per’s finest automobile repair shops, is a firm backer of Drive right week, although to a certain extent, acci- dents increase business for Bob. He is well qualified to speak upon the sub- ject, as no day passes that he is not in contact with the concrete evidence of the frightfulness of automobile ac- cidents, the wrecked and ruined cars| themselves. “I believe in the good old gospel o ‘Drive slow and safe!’ ," says Mr. aa, Yott. “I am not going to speak of the brakes or the turning signals as’ causes for most of ow they are not the direct causes. Drivers must cut down the speed, rit is fast driving which bewilders the other man and renders him unable to determine the next move of the speeder. It is speed which renders “half shot” brakes uselesa for stopping purposes. It is speed which strikes a harder blow in case of « collision and in- creases the chances of fatality a hundred fold. Stop the spetding and you have safety.” —]_—— Past Noble Grand club of Rebecca Lodge No. 39, will nold a baks sate at Norris Meat Market, Saturday Au- gust 25.
