There was less of drinking and drunkenness in Casper in June than for many months past, according to a report from the sheriff's office. It is not at all unlikely that very similar conditions exist in all parts of the country. Pessimists with all their unfounded prediction of. busl- hess troubles and quiet times, did one Bood at least. They started people on the savings account track—and when people save they have no money for the bad booze of boot- leggers. Our police department manages. to keep fairly busy. Last month 274 ar- rests were made. Since the first of the year total has been 1,682. If you will glance over the lst you will see where there are a score of classifications |for offenses commit- ted. Booze and primitive lack~ of animal restraint are behind practic: ally all of them. “It we eould live more platonically and cared less for liquot, We could’get along’ with» town constable. Several Casper ministers approve a picture now showing at a local thea- ter. They find its moral tone a tonic generally needed by the rest of us, and they recommend our attendance. In words, we are asked to “see” rmon, stopping a moment 's rush to gather up a of right, wrong and conse- quences. We are perfectly willing to do this because without effort we may enjoy ourselves with bare recog- nitio! of the fact that we are be- ing “preached at." Moving pictures therefore have a mighty hold on us and should perform wonders for the morals of the world. We never mind being told what is right as long as the telling is not too obvious- ly pointed us. In pictures the actors are living the story and we get the moral without being detect- ed. other To represent Casper at. celebra- tions In Thermopolis and Cody this week, four of our Boy Scout and their deputy commissioner, Frank B. Taylor, left here this morning. None of the four lads had any idea. of being directly rewarded when they achjeved distinction in scouting, They went into the organization in order that they might enjoy a train- ing and experence which builds real men and clean men. They did well all that they put their hands to. Rec- ords were kept to show the advance. ment and character of every Boy in this city. Boonen came a gift of $250 from the Pittsburgh of magnate, Paul 8. Ache. The donner requested that four couts and an official be sent to Cody to represent this city at the unveil- ing of the Buffalo Bill memorial statue. The scout records were looked into and the four boys who left today were the ones chosen. Not because they looked forward to such a return for their efforts, did the four gain the reward,, Each lad found whole hearted joy in his ac- tivities as a scout and gave him. self to the work and play it offered him, That's what counted, Even «though man keeps no record, life does, It lenves its writings on faces and characters, SHOW VISITORS BIG JULY 4TH “Covered Wagon” to Be Shown There With Full Program. On the Popo Agie river in Fre- mont county strange things are happening, there is a tension in the air. Wild, long horned steers are milling and looking red-eyed, nery- ous cayuses restlessly paw up the dust, saddles sit along the top rails of corrals, there is an endless pro- cession of woolly chaps and gaudy blankets, with the high heels of rid- ing boots thumping up and down the streets and moccasins treading with soft shuffling. This is going on in Lander. With the swishing of 2 lariat! the loop of. which 4s headed straight for its merk, the word has-been passed from that town that on July 4. and 5 the wildest revival of the wild old West will be turned loose there. One thousand cowboys will break into a mad gallop, tearing up tbe earth as they bulldog steers, rope calves, and subdue treacherous, out- law bronchos,- Nearly 1,500 | Sho- S§honi Indians will give their war cry and hurl themselves into the celebration. Recruited from outlying ranches whose brands, like the Diamond Circle, were famous a half century ago, oldtime cowpunchers will per- form all the thrilling western-stunts that have ever been known. Perhaps the greatest feature. of the , Lander celebration on the Fourth and Fifth will be the show- ing of the “Covered Wagon.” This is its ace offering, It will step into the class of London, Paris, New York and Hollywood with its ex- (Continued on Page Eleven.)

Unloaded Gun Takes Victim At Evanston EVANSTON, Wyo., July 1.— Deaths caused by the “unloaded gun continue despite all that has been said in regard to carefulness. Roger Maretti, 18 years old, was killed almost instantly several days ago when his pal, William Stringfellow, accidentaly dis- charged a revolver. Stringfellow was given the gun by another of a party of picnickers earlier in the day. He was told it had four cart- ridges in its chamber. Those he fired so that no accident would occur. It so happened there had been five bullets in the gun in and stead of four, and it was the fifth that caused Maretti’s death U.S. FLAG CUT DOWN BY JAPS Tokio Police Fail to Apprehend Guilty SCORES LEAVE TODAY TO ATTEND OPENING: OF CANYON HIGHWAY Scores of people left Casper this morning bound for Thermopolis.

The cutter seized an opportunity te enter the compound when there were no Americans in that part of the enclosure, which formerly sur rounded the embassy buildings de- atroyed in the earthquake and fire of last September, Until recently, a body ef marines waa encamped within the sempeund but now only thres of this party are left, The smbagsy offices are being housed in the Imperial hetel, pending erection of a new building, This ia half a mile away from the compound, Nong ef the three men reranining jn the seompound gaw the cutting, However, persens who (lid imme- lately reported the affair te Charge q'Affairs Oaffrey, wha hurriedly called on Foreign Minikter Shide hava, The police promptly placed a guard around {he pompound and up the work ef jnvestigation.

Davis, 129.5; Underwood, 39.5. This represented no change from the 23rd ballot in any of the votes of the four leaders. Announcing that adjournment would be taken until 8 p. m. tonight, Senator Walsh said the Ohio delegation would hold @ caucus before the night session to decide its immediate future course. The nine ballots taken during the day saw McAdoo's strength wane with the deflection of the Missourt delegation -and’ that of John W. Davis; increase as he received the solid 36 votes from Missouri and some . additional scattering ones from other states. Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, held his own throughout the day. There was much Ralston talk around the convention hall as in formal conferences proceeded Thomas Taggart, in charge of the campaign for the Indiana senator red with prnor Charles W. ebraska, who in turn had earnest conversations with his brother, W. J. Bryan, both before and after the meeting. The Ralston people gfrent satisfaction over said were assurances J. Bryan would soon take some action favorable to the Indiana senator. The Oklahoma deleg: has Iston strength, ask Mr. Bryan to confer with them. 3ryan earlier in the day had launched an open attack on John W. Davis. A conference of leaders in the North Carolina delegation with con- vention officials on the right of the delegation to cease voting as a unit for McAdoo agreed late today under the state laws and the rules of the convention that the individuals of the delegation may vote their will, regardless of the primary result.
