A. Tucker yesterday, The Big Six Studebaker car belonging to Tucker was Commissioner Arthur Proprietor of this hotel was arrest ed and charged with being a dope smuggler. Several weks ago Tucker came down late in the night from Greybull with several friends travel ing at an excessive rate of speed to- ward Thermopolis. Not far from here the car went over the bank, crashed 100 feet below and killed one of its occupants. In general, Tucker has had a notorious reputation, hav ing on numerous oceasions been be hinfl the rs of the ¢ Ybull jail. Latest to be revealed by quest into the killing of Claude Hen- derson Tuesday night on the Gwynn place just before the three - hour battle started there, was the fact, oW practically lished, that Gwynn did not kil him nor was the hand-to-hand struggle between him and the county commissioner. hat Henderson was fully a hun 1 feet from the place. where Gwynn and his assajlant struggled and where Gwynn finall® got hold of the other's gun and shot at him with it, was brought out in the in- quest. The commissioner maintains his stand that he shot his man through the breast. Henderson was dropped some distance away. by a bullet f:red by one of his own gang, it Is believed now. There is definite evidence to show that Henderson after being hit, for hi 8 severed, Say Doctor Hamilton and Hale who were on the Atand yesteray afternoon. On the other hand, the man wi whom Gwynn fought, muttered after Gwynn had shot.at him, that he had had enough. This attacker managed to get away. Gwynn's testimony is borne Fred Hale who was present time of the killing and the fi counter. Hale further declar terday that he had a picture of the man with whom Gwynn fought, but cannot identify him as anyone known to him‘in the past,. Other arrests are expected soon. At the same time, it is reported that several of those suspected have dis- appeared.

Two masked men enter- ed the Bank of Salt Creek at Lavéye shortly after noon te- day, held up four clerka, and escaped with two sacks of money, the amount o fwhich jis not exactly known. One |of the men was later caught |when business men of La- voye surrounded a tent in a gulley not far from the busi- ness part of the town. Sev- eral shots were fired before the man woul dcome out. The other bandit is thought to be hiding somewhere in the town of Lavoye. Because of the absence of any deputies at this town it was necessary for the busi- ness men. of the community to form a posse'to apprehend the men. Sheriff Perry A. Morris and a gang of depu- ties went out to the field as soon as they received word of the holdup. Two customers were in the bank at the time of the holdup. The b&ndits enter- ed from a back door and stuck guns in the faces of the employes. The custo- mers made a hurried exit. Lyle Corey, cashier of the bank ran to the door and shot at one of the fleeing bandits wh owas running |across to the Ford garage on the opposite side of the street. This failed to stop him and the man reached a ‘ent. The other man escaped by another direction, The money has not been recovered and the officials ve not had an opportunity yet to check up the loss. ee Steel Orders Show Decrease NEW ders of poration YOr the on 187,072 tons, ‘s ; tons under th at the end of the preceding. n: : ena apg r A Wizard: s tak red the University alded as a ‘child, Mectual “wigard,"* from the university’ the youngest scholar rees from the univer-? 4 aduated to recely ity,
