Mr. Ed wards was in Casper five years ago at a time when many of the improve- s which now exist for the city only dreams. He did his work then before an admiring mul titude as he does now, but thc mul titude is not all that is admiring now for Mr. Edwards himself is wondering how Casper grew so fast and is admiring it for the fect. The artist is spending his time proving to the public that very common things can be transformed into creations of beauty and that there is more loveliness in a can of house paint than the average per- son supposes. For instance he takes the ordinary white and blue enamels and makes a sky of them. He takes the red enamel used for painting automo: | Diles and trans of a setting sun. Ordinary wood J. W.

Tracy, 23 years o!d, until recent- ly a student of political economy at the University of Chicago, still itved in the university district and his was found near the campus. He had dropped his work at the university for a $600 a month post- tion with the Commonwealth Edison company in one of ity power plants in South Chicago, but was said to have been intending saving money for @ broader course at a later time. The young man was of a serious) turn of mind and corresponded with several young women, not, however, so far as learned, in a romantic way. Although he had lost part of one leg, in a steel mill accident a few years ago and wore an artificial Mmb, the leg having been ampu- tated below the knee, he was said to have been able to dance well. While apparently of the Intelligent type of man with serious idea's, his pleasant personality won him many friends. He was interested in psychic phe nomena, his personal effects dis- closed. A card showing member- ship in the Pschomagian society ana a document, apparently his own re- port of a private sitting, with a me- dium, were found among his pa- pers. Although he was said to have been a loyal member of the Blectrical Workers’ union, the police found nothing to indicate any labor trouble. and killed when he resisted robbery and his body tossed out of an auto- |mobile. His hat was found a few blocks from the spot where the body was found.
