Celebrated at Tent | This Evening. Nearly a thousand persons packed the revival tent at Eighth and | Center streets last night to listen) to Big’ Jim Kramer discuss the in- teresting topic of “Going All the Way With God.” Fatigued by six weeks of continuous work but still inspired Rev. Kramer is still elicit- ing the support of Casper’s thinking . Every night there are fresh minds, new faces, and every night Big Jim has a new message for all who hear him. “What I Saw at Third and Mar ket Streets, San Francisco,” is the subject which Kramer will talk on tonight. This evening has been set aside as patriotic night, and the largest crowd that has yet attended; is expected. A parade will be held) at 7 o'clock, those taking part in it scheduled to assemble at the Bap- tist church, Fifth and Beech streets, a short time before hand. The county officials and some of the city officials who can get away have promised to be present. The Amer- fcan Legion band will play. Tonight also Big Jim is going to receive something by which he will remember Wyoming when Jack Boott, proprietor of. the. Scott.

There were some 50 or 60 mem- bers present to take part in the vital discussions of matters most pressing and most deeply engross- ing the attention of Wyoming people at. this time. A greater gathering had been anticipated but due to the! continuous storms of last Sunday| and Monday roads from parts of the state from which railroad travel is too circuitous to Douglas, were in such condition as to make {mpos- sible the attendance of bankers of certain towns around Sheridan in the north and Rawlins. in the south, A dozen Omaha and Denver banks were represented at the meeting. Governor Ross and A. D. Walton, United States district attorney at Cheyenne, were in Douglas for the session which proved to be so worth while from the standpoint of the state's interests, Riverton was selected for the 1924 meeting place and election of of- ficers resulted in John T. McDon- ald, vice president of the Cheyenne State bank, betng chosen as presi- dent; Otto Frederick, cashier of the bank at Hanna, treasurer; Harry B, Henderson of the First.Joint Stock..Land . ban! of Cheyenno, © secretary; Johnson, vice president of the Stock- growers bank at Wheatland, vice president of the American Bankers association from Wyoming. (Names After being out for an hour and 40 minutes, the jury in the first de- gree murder trial of Izora Allen, colored. charged with the death of Alberta Yoakum, also colored, brought in a verdict of not guilty at 10 o'clock Tuesday evening. The attorneys for the defendant Henry E. Perkins and John H. Hen- drick, put an excellent self defense case. Their entire efforts were to show that the dead woman had en- terefl the defendant's house, started ® qGuarrel and had been shot to death after threatening the life of the Allen wotnan, It was also brought out that the character of the deceased for peace and quiet was bad and that she had been in numerous altercatio: with the law in preceeding months.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.— A meeting between, George L. Berry of the International Printing Pressmen and As-| sistants Union and officers of the New York Web Press- men’s Union number 26, called for today, offered virtually the only hope of settlement of the strike of pressmen. The strike, which began when workers on morning newspapers left their posts shortly after mid- night yesterday morning, continued through yesterday and last night, with both afternoon and morning papers resorting to limited editions bearing the title “The Combined New York Newspapers,” and carry- ing on the front page the name of each paper affected. Mr. Berry, tn a letter sent to the local union last night, ordered the men to return to work, declaring failure to comply immediately with the strike was unauthorized and his. request would result in a sus- pension of the union's charter. Early this morning he had recetved no answer;to that communication, but it was expected the reply would Che Casper Daily Tritune FINAL EDITION "NUMBER 293. ) ON RUINS OF BIG FIRE ej Press Operators e Charter SHFETY TALK OF NW MEET Officials of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad who stopped over in the city today included F.

While the 36 blocks or more, over which the fire raged, still lay blanketed with smouldering ruins yesterday, surrounded by a cordon of police and army sentries, vic- tims of the blaze surveyed the ex- tent of the disaster and tmmediately began making preparations for the rebuilding of their homes after the debris of the conflagration has been cleared awny. Hundreds of chimneys, all that remains standing in the flame- scarred”area, will be blasted down today, and laborers will commence the task of hauling away the debris which les scattered every- where.
