Although auth- orities from here and the surround- ing countryside expressed belief that he might have suffered vio- lence from his captors, augmented possibly by a large number of “night riders” no trace of the band or their prisoner could be found by posses which started out ately after North's capture, As the search gradually spread to a wider area, however, a clue was expected momentarily. Motorcycle Officer D. C. Keen, who was in North's cell, and alone with him in the jail at the time, was taken by surprise at the sud- den entrance of the masked men and forced at the point of a shot- gun to deliver his priscner.

SMALL (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 8.—A visitor in this city recently from the far west remarked: “The New York that I knew and loved passed out with the hansom cab.” New York itself is just beginning to realize the ‘metamorphosis which ‘thas come over the city since the New York is léading a taxicab fe. ‘The ease, the polse and the elegance of the hansom cab days are gone. Where once it required an hour and a half and cost 75 cents to ‘drive from the Waldorf through the Park to Claremont for dinner, the journey now is made in something like 15 minutes at a cost of some- thing lke three dollars and the burning up of much nervous en- ergy. ‘When the hansom cabs and the Victorias rolled leisurely up the av- enue they passed the homes of the living leaders of American soclety. New York came into full apprecia- tion today of the fact that those days are gone forever, It has come as @ distinct shock the announcement that the famous Astor mansions of white marble, at Fifth avenue and 65th street are to be permanently abandoned, torn down and repleced by an apartment house. Of course, it wont be an ordinary apartment house. It will have none of the ear- marks of a tenement. It will be a sort of community home where one may rent one of these Duplex af- fairs, with an upstairs and a down- stairs to it, for something like $20,. 000 a year. ‘The Astor mansions represent an investment of something Ike $7,- 000,000. But standing vacant as they have been for some time, they have brought in nothing. The new apartment will cost something less than $2,000,000 and will bring in an appropriate amourit of rev- enue to young Vincent Astor, the present head of the family in Amer- ica, Young Astor prefers to live at his estate Ferncliff at Rhinebeck-on-the house today resumed consideration of the measure under an agreement which calls for conclusion of general debate by 11 o'clock tonight.

The As- tor mansions hold hallowed memo- ries to some of the older families of the Metropolis, but generally speaking they are recognized as having be- longed to another time, to the han- som cab days that the Astor man- sions flourished when balls were the rage in society, Nowadays balls are given in the hotels and other places. They are given for charity and it is no mark of distinction to-be seen atone. It was different when Mrs. ‘William Astor was the reigning queen of New York society. No- tables came from all parts of the world at her bidding. It was in the Astor mansion some say that Ward McAllister sat down with the Do- wager of the Astor millions and drew up his ist of the “Four Hundred,” eligibles. Others say that McAllis- ter wrote out the lst with a pen- ell one day at luncheon at Delmoni- co's, In any event the stately As- tor mansions belong to those ol days and like other useless relics of bygone time it was inevitable that they had to go, Fifth Avenue is fading fast away as a place of individual residence. Business has crept up the thorou fare as far as the park at Fifty Ninth street. Above there it is agreed now that apartment houses and hotels are to rule. One or two of the old families still cling to the avenue and there is a smattering of the nouveaux rich who have crept in'during the past decade, but they too, eventually will fall back and away. Society bas moved to the country appeared New York, claiming to be first In so many ways, has been a gard in this respect. Other cities The motor has made the country have noticed the change long ago. accessible and it must be admitted that the country fs exclusive. There one can choose one’s neighbors or in any event can exclude them by the .vast extent of ofe’s own es- tate. New York soclety still uses the city, for shopping, for tea dnd some- times for supper. Fifth Avenue, even has lost most of its prestige as a promenade, So- clety walks now in Park avenue. It was typical that when the first rumor of the abandonment of the Astor mansions shocked everyone. young Mr. Astor should have been located in the midst of a week-end party at his country home, too busy to answer questions as to his {n- tentions. This very rich young man did not know the New York of the hangom onab day: CHAMPION DEBATERS RETURN TO WYOMING UNIVERSITY TODAY LARAMID, Wyo., April 8,—Her- bert Woodman, a junior at the Unt- versity of Wyoming, and Ralph Conwell,-a senior, who were debat- ing with the colleges of the Pacific northwest, as far south os San Diego, returned last night, They took part In sixteen debntes, on the affirmative side of the World Court question, winning thirteen of them, losing to Montana State, British Columbia and University of South- ern California.

FIRE BUG IN DENVER BUSY AGAIN, BELIEF DENVER, Colo., April 8—Police today are seeking a fire bug, who according to Fire Chief John F. Healy is responsible for three fires within the last two weeks in the city. The latest fire laid to the door of the alleged fire bug occurred this morn- ing when a barn on Capitol Hill con- taining stored furniture was fired and damage to the extent of $500 resulted.

The other two fires which are laid to the alleged fire bug are a small blaze that was started in the city hall a few days ago and an attempt that was made to burn the Overland Hotel, near Overland Park, Denver's former race track park, now used as a municipal automobile tourist camp, One tn nine of the 110,000,000 in- habitants of the United States own an automobile.
