County Plays Big OFF IN FIGHT Jack Lord, Proprietor of Lavoyeland Theater, Wounded by Gun Which He Pulled on Another Man LAVOYE, Wyo., Sept. 18.—(Special to The Tribune). Jack Lord, proprietor of the Lavoyeland theater, pro- duced the gun in a fight yesterday afternoon between him- self and Bob Cockburn, owner of the Mecca soft drink parlors here, which was seized by Cockburn and fired at Lord, parting him from the first finger of his left .hand Troubles over business which had been given an early morning airing in tne bedroom of Lord's elderly mother, are alleged to. have led to the shooting. Had there been a written agree- ment on the financial complications of the theater, in which Cockburn 1s supposed to have an interest, it fe improbable that a quarrel would have arisen. The verbal contract that had been made between the two men caused the preliminary verbal riot and, later, the clipping off of Lord's finger. Early yesterday morning, it is seid, Mr. and Mrs. Cockburn broke into the bedroom of Mrs. Lord, mother of the wounded man, intend- ing to get several rolls of theater tickets which had been premedi- tatedly placed there for safe keep- ing. It is claimed that after grasp- ing Mrs. Lord’s wrist and holding his hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming for her son, who was geeping ina nearby room, Cockburn ‘and his wife attempted to shove her under the bed so that the room ‘might be ransacked for the tickets. ‘The scuffle and | disturbance Brought a large crowd to the house and the couple made their escape. Both denied the assault but the bruises, scratches and broken glasses of Mrs. Lord seemed to contradict their statement of innocence. Cockburns were placed under isetent for the alleged assault and released on bond to appear today ‘before Justice George Blake at drone aft the two men terda: ernoon airs ras street near the Lavoye hotel about 2 o'clock. Lord is said to have pulled a revolver after somo heated words between Cockburn and himself but the gun was taken from him by Cockburn and fired. Lord's finger was shot off at the hand. Both the Cockburns were imme- @iately arrested by Deputy Sheriff Dick Vance. Extraordinary precau- tions have been taken to prevent mob violence which is being threat- med the defendants.

Natrona county has the largest exhibit yet accredited to the county, the display featuring grains, vege tables and honey. The aplaries of ‘SHOW ME® MOTTO OF MISSOUR! NOW UNIVERSAL, “Are you from Missouri?” “God bless you,” there were 66 from that famous state at “Big Jim” Kramer's roll call of the 48 states at the First Baptist church last night. Everyone of the 66 born in by mules and “Show me; I'm the commonwealth made notorious from—" was keen to let the large congregation of more than 500 peo- ple know about it. “Yes, sir, people from that state think it is the best ‘place on earth and even better than any place not on the arth,” said~ “Big - Sim.” “Why, you know there wasa newly arrived spirit in heaven who saw a man chained to a post. The spirit rushed to old St. Peter and asked how such a thing could be done in beaven—that it was the common understanding on earth that in Paradise no one was mistreated. “This is a case by itself,’ replied St. Peter. ‘This man is from Missouri and we have to chain him down be- cause he is always threatening to go back.’ ”* Basing his evening’s eddress on that question which has been heard in all corners of the world, Dr. Kramer applied it to Christianity and the salvation of souls. He said: “In these days all things are be- ing thrown up on the block and being examined. It makes no dif- ference how sacred or traditionally revered a thing or a belief may be it 1s carefully scrutinized and tested before being accepted in this age. “The highest remuneration goes to the man who can show the world a real thing. Look at Henry Ford —look at those millions of little lobsters he has turned out in the last few years. I tell you the world 1s looking for such a man and will pay him handsomely for a worth- while revelation. “So there are questions being pro- pounded on matters of religion and Christianity. | Nicodemus asked, ‘How can a man be born anew when he is old? How can these things be?’ It 1s up to us to reveal the realisms in our religious beliefs be- fore we can expect the sinner to accept them. “And what ts converston? It ts not ‘getting religion.’ It is a sad thing that thousands of people ‘get but religion doesn't ‘get them.’ The Pharisees had religion, and lots of it, but Jesus Christ didn’t recognize it. “Conversion has nothing to do with a change of feeling, or, in many cases, nothing to do with a man's relationship toward his*fel- low men. A man may be right with man but wrong with God.
