A committee appointed by Dr. M. C. Keith, president of the Lions, will confer with other organ- izations.

Until recently the rags were supplied by the government but the hospital has sineo been thrown on its. own initiative. The work of making rugs offers a great meastre of relief for soldiers swffering from shell shock and other mental derangement inci- dental to their service in the war and there are approximately 200 such patients at Sheridan. If “rag day" plans are carried through the public will beasked to deposit all their old rags, washed clean, in a place convenient for gathering them up. Cars wi'l be donattd for this purpose by persons | desiring to assist and the rags should be collected with minimum effort and expense. It will necessi- tate. the donation of considerable | time on the part of some workers. | The movement will lighten the work | of the legion auxiliary materially as! only slow progress could be expected | without concentration of effort, | General Burke H, Sinclair last! night addressed the Lions on the im-| portance of service, with particular | reference to the labor of the club committees in working out the pur- poses and alms of the club. Com- mittee members should share the work equally, he pointed out, in-| stead of shouldering the burden on e single member. Service for the love of serving and not for the glory or credit won for the club or indi- vidual was emphasized and aptly {I- lustrated by the story of the “shine” who, lacking the finishing flourishes! of the expert, declared that “it isn’t| always the cloth with the loudest pop that gives the best shine.” Attention of the club was called to the community choral club being organized by the Presbyterian chotr} leader, 100 members being the goal| of the organizers.

J., school girl, slain in the swamps along the Port Elizabeth highway near her home at Bricksboro. 10,405 TRIBUNES READ EVERY Yesterday Faccenda was held in bail by a magistrate as a material witness. It was after the return police “murder squad” from the scene of the crim that the more serious charge was lodged against the prisone: Faccenda, who is 19 years old, admitted, according to the author!- tles gat he was a witness to the kiting, but declined to supply addi tional @etatls, He dec!ared that he did not know the identity of the slayer, Detectives intimated today that 8 arrest was imminent, The Dickson girl disappeared Septembe i 1 her body, with t head Stushed, wea found September 2a, failure to reveal to jury some time this afternoon. Attorney E. E. Enterline opened his argument on a motion for acquittal shortly beforefact of his possession of a second noon and the argument was con- tinued when court went into session at 1:30. Mr. Enterline based his| argument for an acquittal of both| murder and manslaughter on the oroposition that the defendant had heen in the act of law enforcement and that the bullet had ricocheted. Before resting its case this morn- ng, the state asked that the plece at wood in the tonneau of the New- comb car be brought into court. The trim rail was brought in de- spite objections by the defense and shown to the jury. The corset which the deceased had worn ‘at the time she was shot was also presented to the jury by Prosecutor Murane with the idea of determining the effect of the metal of the corset on the course of the bullet. DOUGLAS, Wyo., Oct. 11.—Be- fore a court room that was packed to capacity with many persons standing up around the sides and rear of the room and even in the doorway, the trial of Erroll Cantlin | yesterday reached a dramatic crisis when ‘the question arose over the | possibility of the fatal bullet having ricochéted from the ground before entering the car. P. M. McKain, town marshall of Evansville, was the frst witness in this regard. Mr. McKain said that he had examined the ground around the scene of the shooting and had counted the distance of the New comb car from the entrance of the town to the town itself. This dis- tance ,he said, was something more than 200 feet. The examination of the ground, according to his state ment, was made on the following day. He found a .45 calibre bullet 20 feet in the rear of the spot where the Newcomb car had stood.’ He did not make known his possession of this bullet until October 4 when he showed the same to Attorney Ambrose Hemingway. Mr. McKain sald that he in com- pany with Frank Lee and W. E. Kil- gore, special agents for the Burling. ton, made an examination of the Newcomb car last Tuesday noon as it stood here in Douglas. He said that the hole showed that the lead had ricocheted because. the lower side of the entrance of the hole was slanted upward, that the wood be- |, neath the metal covering showed tmarks and that this wood had evi dently deflected the bullet down ward. The witness was shown the bullet which had been found in the body of the dead woman and he testified to the effect that one side of this bullet was dented, which proved that {t had struck the ground. McKain was roundly ‘scored Prosecutor Murane who conduc a severe cross examination. Murane scored the witness on by 1 Mr. his the state the high bullet. McKain replied that he had answered all the questions put to him by the prosecutor previously and that he thought “the less ad- vertising the thing got” previous to the trial the better for everyone. The witness was also attacked on the basis that he had examined the car during the absence either of a bailiff or of G. B. Stebbins, who had been given the responsibility of (Continued cn Page Seven.) “Swede” Anderson, an oi! driller whose first name is unknown, was mysteriously |shot and killed in the rear of the Gem cafe at Lavoye Wednesday evening. James A. Herman, heavily intoxicated and clasping a .45 calibre revolver in his hand, was found \lying beside the bony, When Herman was arrested he was so much under the influ- jence of liquor he could not explain any of the circumstances connected with the shoot- ng. Anderson is said to have been in his room at the rear of the cafe when he was shot. The bullet hit him In the chin and went into his neck. It is thought that is severed a spinal cord, causing almost in- stant death.

GOV. WALTON FLAYS KLAN IN MESSAGE; SOLONS MEET Thousands of Fans Thrilled By Scoreboard The Tribune's electric scoreboard stands supreme. This was demon- strated fully yesterday when tho@s. of time elapsed between the actual play and its recording on the score- board, supplemented by megaphone announcements. No confusion mark- ed the announcements, the Tribune throng being swelled continually by additions from crowds which failed to get a comprehensive report from other sources. ‘The event was climaxed by the ap- pearance of the Tribune's “extra” which was being ground out at the rate of 20,000 an hour 30 seconds after the end of the game, Streets were flooded with the news and out- bound trains carried hundreds of papers, containing not only the final | results of the game but local, state| and world news. No tricks were resorted to in es- tablishing a record in:publishing the extra The final figures were not put in until the flash came at the end of the ninth inning.

These principles forcibly apply to business institutions, Every sincere, well prepared advertisement is a foundation stone in the business structure, Every such foundation stone not only fills its own place but supports the next stone and so on to completion.

The depart- ment in charge of circulation made several interesting tabula tions during the past week. On Monday, October 1, the paid circulation of the Casper Daily Tribune was 11,289.
