The accident occurred at the intersection of the Ok'o South Camp road and the main highway just north of the South Camp gar- ago After first ald treatment the injured man was carried to the gar age where exam!nation revealed a gash on the scalp and several ribs broken and torn from the spinal column, Although retaining con- sclousness and answering a few questions during examination, Mr Carlson made no statement of any kind, and was removed from the South Camp garage to the tent oc- cupled by he and his wife, near where the accident occurred. Just before midnight, Mrs. Carlson be came alarmed and called a neighbor to summon the doctor By the time the doctor arrived, the man had died from internal hemorrhage Coroner Lew Gay was notified by te’ephone at Casper and removed the body to Casper about 2 o'clock Sun- day morning. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson, together with Luis E. Clegg, a middle aged man and an old friend of Mr. Carl- sons, were on thelr way afoot to Lavoye where they had planned on ehjoying the evening in dancing. Busily engaged in conversation, Mr. Carlson and Mr. Clegg followed a short distance behind Mrs. Carlson. On account of the dust and traffic the party decided to leave the high- way and take the private Ohio Oil company road to the west. They were proceeding northward on the east side of the highway and arriv- ing at the intersection to cross west- ward halted to let a large touring ear with very bright lights pass southward. Mrs. Carlson gained the opposite side and turned her head just in time to see a Ford com- mercial truck almost upon the men in the road. Her scream of warn- ing was too late. Mr. Clegg was violently thrown to one side by the impact and the body of Mr. Garlson was found under the truck some 25 or 60 feet from where he was struck, in the ditch to the side of the road. According to William Crosby, biinded by the bright lights of the big car previously mentioned, altho he had dimmed his lights and had just switched back to his bright lights when in the dust not over fifteen feet ahead of him appeared the three people in the center of the highway. Instantly realizing that he could not avoid collision he viol- ently turned to the right which course took him oyer the embank- ment and into the ditch, This ac- tion, taken at the risk of his own life, probably is all that prevented The the entire party being left headlight which out of shape. Mr, Crosby stated that a car parked along the roadside without Nights a short distance south of the tntersection also ob- structed his vision at the time. Jumping from the car after Its mo- mentum had ceased, Mr. Crosby re- trieved the body from where it lay underneath, after which he ran to the South Camp garage for assist ance and phoned for Doctor Mitchell and then returned to help carry Mr. Carlson to one of the cots at the gurage. oot EK eet WIND BLOWS DOWN TENT BUT WORKERS ARE READY AGAIN Although a heavy wind last night Diew down the tent in which the Rev.

Y., Sept. 24. —Mrs. Walter 8S. Ward, was called ‘to the witness stand today by the prosecution as a witness in the case Jin which her husband 1s charged with murder in the first degree of Clarence Peters of Haverhill, Mass.

The pair walked In smiling and ignoring the spectators, calmly took their seats. Mrs. Ward testified that the first she saw of her husband on the night of the killing was between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning when he entered her room and awakened her. An- swering her husband's attorneys, she testified that it was possible for her husband to have been home earlier and for her not to have heard him until he came into her room. Asked if he offered any explana- tion why he vi ed her so late Mrs. Ward replied that ho did. Justice Wagner upheld the contention of the defense that Mrs, Ward could not be called upon to testify what her husband had said to her. “Was his explanation satisfac tory?” asked the prosecutor, “Yes,” she replied. Suppressing her sobs Mrs, Ward testified that when the first grand jury began the investigation of the killing of Peters, after it had been announced her husband was im- rlicated, sho went fo Bermuda. After she had been there some weeks, sho said she cabled her hus band to know if she could not come home to get her children and go to some other resort. ‘This was ar ranged, she added, and she took the children to Atlantic City. Mrs. Inez O. Peters, mother of Clarence Peters, who Ward 1s charged with having murdered, also testified. ry jolorado Bank Is Robbed by Bandits DENVER, Colo,, Sept. 24.—Three armed bandits held up the First State bank at Arvada, a suburb of Denver at noon today, covered the jbank president and cashier with guns and escaped in a small touring cay With $5,900 in currency which thes took from the bank vault. fhe automobile in which the bandits made their getaway from Arvada was found at 1:30 o'clock on a road between Arvada and Den- ver.

FOR SURVEYORS LOST IN CANYON Water Shooting High in Air as River Goes On Rampage. PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz., Sept. 24.—Returning here after a survey of the Colo- rado river canyon near here in an attempt to locate the government surveyors chart- ing the river, patrol scouts asserted that in the canyon the river was still on a rampage, shooting water fifty feet into the alr as it struck boulders in its narrow bed. | A patrol penetrated the Grand/ Canyon at a point sixty miles above | Diamond creek, Arizona, today, to| scout the Colorado river for the | United States Geological Survey party which is on a voyage charting the river. Diamond Creek {s the next point of habitation with which the ex- ploring party is to come in contact, the schedule calling for their arrival on September 28. | Two deputy sheriffs of Mohave county, Charles Imus and Joe Daniels, veteran cow men who have traveled the canyon trails many times, left this morning with several Indians to search the country north of Peach Springs along the river, in the belief that the surveyors may | have camped there recently. | After reaching a point two miles above the river bed, the scouts stopped on a high precipice over- looking many miles of rugged canyon country and surveyed the vegion with powerful field glasses. | While viewing the panorama, the scouts thought they saw the refiec- ton of some tin cans, at a point along the river bed, which, they | said, would be an indication that a recent camp had been made there. Indians who live along the river in this region told the trailers that | they had sighted what they belfeved | to be the party early this week. | oo | During the past fiscal year the In-| ternational Typographical Union paid out more than $800,000 for old age pensions. | The simplest way to end a corn is Blue-jay.

Ru mors that Mr. Appel was the custod. jan of a $125.000 “booze fund” when he departed for California were de ;nied by Mrs. Appel who sald she came back to deny all rumors and to help her husband. “I started years ago in the res. taurant kitchen to help my husband |make a success,” Mrs. Appel said. |“I wil go back there to help him \again, if necessary.” \{ me uum very important; so spiritual under- standing is not faithfully cultivated. We wish we might afford our leader an army, at least loyal. If we are oyal to the interests of God we can be drilled until we become good soldiers; our lack of spirttual under- standing can be remedied. But the hope for the final victory of righteousnes lies not in our loyalty to the master. If our loyalty to God were the foundation of the hope of success, Christianity would finally be defeated and sin would finally rule. We believe the church is the best of human organizations, but we must look to something! more loyal to God than is the church, to sustain the eternal life and death struggle for righteous- ness, Now notice, Christ has servants upon whom he may depend when we fail him. Peter, and James and John slept in the garden of Gethsemane. They failed him in the hour of his deepest distress; but an angel strengthened him. The cleansed leper disobeyed him but the disease obeyed. So now if there were not something more obedient than wp, his church, his cause could not stand, but if we fail him the angel of death will not fail him. The purifying presence of death ts constantly with us. The instincts of our own nature and the great power of the Holy Spirit will not fail Him. Our hearts will smite us or give us sweet peace at his com- mand, Seeing Christ has servants who unlike us, are faithful we should take courage and accept the rebuke to our own infidelity.

The apostle speaks of the unity fn the church. He does not say: “create unity,” bu' the unity” which already exists. It is not a man-made unity, but “the unity of the Spirit.” The apostle goes on to describe this unity in verses 4 to 6. Verse 4: All christians have been called by the Spirit into the church. They have been brought together in Christ, their common Lord and Re- deemer, in whom they are as closely united as the members of a body. Verse 5: “One Lord”; the church has but one Lord, Jesus Christ, whom God hath made both Lord and Christ. “One faith"; the Holy Spirit who gathers and builds the church, teaches but one faith. A christian may be in error regarding an artl- cle of faith, but his error is not a part of christian faith, but e lack thereof. “One baptism"; Jesus instituted ‘but one baptism, with véater in the name of Triune God, which is a washing of regeneration whereby we have put on Christ. Verse 6: The church has no other God than the God who has revealed himself through Jesus Christ. Thus the aopstle describes the unity of the church. ‘ This unity we are to “endeavor to keep” by walking “with all iowll- jwhere the occupant’s soul is a igrotto of foul smelling, filthy, base ideas and ideals. Words must fail |to meet the condemnation that should be hurled against such crim. inal indiscretion and negligence. A “Nature abhors a vacuum,” some \scientist says—yes, and the soul is not a vacuum either. It is stocked full of jdeals, ideas, notions, theories, plans. What kind are they is the question. Jesus is talking here of the peril of the empty heart. Where must be a master motive in every life. It is not enough to clean out we must fill up. The French and Rus- sion revolutions show us what blunders men can make by over- throwing governments, vicious and worse than vicious, but failure to place men of great spiritual power in leadership. It was a good achievement to eliminate the Hohenzollerns but a shame to assassinate a Rothenau. The church is a great institution in that it dethrones sin, selfishness, hate, malice, illwill and opens a pride or lack of lowliness be- fore God and man. Furthermore, “with all meekness"; man {s natur- ally of a haughty, contentious, self- seeking spirit. But where this spirit finds entrance among christ- fans, peace and unity flee apace. Finally, “with long suffering, for- bearing one another in love"; it would be easier to live in peace if our Christian brother or sister dis- Played no sinful weaknesses; but let us remember that our own conduct is not always faultless. Show the same love and forebearance toward them that we expect from them and which Jesus never tires showing toward us. Thus much fs required of us that is difficult. But peace and unity are worth the effort. North Casper Presbyterian REV. GEORGE WOODARD “I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” The centurian of whom Christ spoke these words had recognized Christ as a com- mander. He was right, Christ ts our general.
