PARIS, Sept. 29—(United Press)- The Greco-Itallan dispute, which re sulted in occupati Gree} island of Corfu by troops was considered a closed jncid here tonight following the action of ambassadors {r the conference of ordering the Swiss bank to Greece's forfeit of 50,000,000 lire t Italy. The conference decided Greece had not done all in her power to bring to justice the persons gullty of the assassination of the Italian mission near Janin and that the made by Greece should be f On the insistence of the Ital representative the payment wa’ dered made immediately YELLOW GAB OPERATORS ASSIST IN. RECOVERING STOLEN AUTOMOBILES Forty thousand Yellow Cab drivers in practically every city of the country, are now actively assisting police departments in the, work of recovering stolen cars. ‘This idea originated by Roy Payne of the Yellow Cab company of Topeka Kans., has been taken up with thusiasm by every taxicab operator, and very effective work has been done. These taxicab operators have ar ranged with the chief of police of their various cities to notify the cab dispatcher whenever a car is stolen. This dispatcher broadcasts over the phone to every driver under his direction a complete de- scription of the car. As a result, all drivers are on the alert, and be cause they cover most of the city during the day and night, they sooner or Jater run across the car stolen During the last two years Topeka taxicab drivers have recovered a dozen cars and similar results have been obtained in other cities. This is only one of the many ways in which Yellow Cab drivers throughout the country are render- ing effective assistance to the citi zens they drive. — AISTORY OF COUNTY ALSO ON SALE AT TREVETT’ STORE The name of the Trevett con- fectionery store has been uninten- tionally omitted from the names of the concerns handling the sale of Mr. A. J. Mokler’s “History of Na trona County.” Guy and John Trevett, the proprietors, are among the real pioneers of Natrona county having lived in this county all of their lives. They have seen much of the history made that is recounted by Mr. Mokler in his history and urally appreciate its value. The History of Natrona County” will be found on sale at the Trevett confectionery the same as at the other places advertised. Future ads will carry the name of this concern, an omission in the past for which the Tribune apologiz i Donald Gallagher has moved his law dffice to 104 Becklinger Bids.

IN 1906 With 35 CENTS - - Seventeen years is not a long space of time, as time goes. Even at that many things can and ao happen while those few brief years ire rolling by. As an evidence of something happening cast your » eye over Alfred H. Cobb, at- torney at law, as he presents him self today and then go back to the year 1906, on the day he arrived in Casper and hold him up for his tota! wealth. It would not have been worth while. The whole works consisted of 35 cents cash money. That was the cost of a very frugal breakfast and that was the purpose for which it was expended. Being broke is nothing in the life of a man of brains and industry, and that are quality of getting on in the world despite adverse circum stances. As he accepted a job punching attle, a profession he knew > lutely nothing concerning, he smiled to himself as he adjusted his spurs and knotted his bandanna, to note the uselessness of Kansas St University and Ann Arbor, and col fe degrees as a preparatory course for this particular line of endes However his previous r ch in language and his acquirements in mathematics enabled him to more readity decipher cattle brands and he made an entire success of the cattle punching profession.
