ROSS $1,800 LOST IN - | BURCLARIES OF CASPER HOMES .. Robberies at Kilpatrick and Whittemore Homes Look Like Work of Same Gangs; No Glues Found Twice within 48 hours burglars have entered Casper homtey looted them systematically, and escaped without leaving a single clue of value. Their plunder in one in- stance amounted to approximately $1,500; in the other to between $200 and $300. E. H. Kilpatrick, 1231 South Wolcott street, and R. L. Whittemore, 215 East Ninth street, were the victims of the two latest raids, which come as the climax of a long series of residential robberies covering a number of months. Jn each case the thieves have left little ce and no arrests have been made Among those who have suffered sim- ilar visitations recently are Glenn C. Littlefield, 737 Park avenue and J. Hal Curran, 443 East 11th street. * The Kilpatrick home was plunder- ed ‘between 5:30 and 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, while Mr. and Mrs. Kilpatrick were out to dinner, and Mr. Kilpatrick believes that their return frightened the robbers away before they. had completed their work. | yidently the. thieves had waited until. they saw the aay tare Oe emanate ‘methodically For,.som: Mr, and keel by radio and it was only. rns lo r Noon Mire.

They went through the house systematically, emptying out dvesser drawers and ‘scattering their con- contents’ broadcast. - They helped themselves to everything portable that might have value, including three guns, jewelry, a kodak, silver and considerable clothing. ‘The Whittemore's returned at 9 to find the house in disorder, the win- + dow broken, and the back door wide open. : LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN BY BIG MAJORITY CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 7- next Wyoming legislature will con- sist of 18 Republicans and _ nine Democratic senators and 40 Repub- lican and 22 Democratic representa- tives, according to virtually com- fete returns from last Tuesday's county elettions tabulated here to- day. The entire membership of the house and 14 of/the 27 members of the senate were elected Tuesday. The senators elected include eight Republicans and six Democrats. ‘There are niné Republican and four Democratic holdover senators. The next legislature will consist of 389 members, of whom 57 are Repub- Means and 32 Democrats. e aa ustentng to’ election | ds Armistice They summoned police, who traced the thieves as far as the back fence, there to Jose their trail in the drift- ing snow. No further trace of them has been found. The Whittemore home was rob- bed under similar circumstances slightly more than a year ago. At that time the rcbbers obtained near- ly $3,500 in cash and valuables. They were never caught. ¢ Partisanship Should Be Forgotten and Every Assistance Given Governor- Elect, Defeated Candidate Says a speech that showed his nobility of character, Eu- gene J. Sullivan, defeated Republican candidate for gov- erhor, last right at the annual banquet of the Natrona County Woolgrowers association at the Elks building, gra- eiously accorded the fullest measure of <credit to Nellie Tayloe Ross, governor-elect of the state and the first woman in the nation to receive that honor. After eulogizing the late chief ex- ecutive, William B. Ross, Mr. Sul- lvan highly commended ‘‘the little lady who has been given the goV- ernor’s chair at Creyenne.” He said in. part: “I beg you to give the little lady who is such a wonderful American woman—so gentle, refined, capable and clean—your assistance which e nee Forget partisan politics, for wo are no longer Republicans and Democrats, but citizens of Wy- oming. I ask that you stand by her, ready to be of aid in carrying on this government of state which is yours. 2 “You have delegated to the gov- ernor the power and duty of en- forcing the law. I believe that the wrong attitude to take: ~Law en: forcement, should be individually considered as‘law obedience. With LITTLE HOPE HELD OUT FOR RECO cians said that there was little hone that be for the better. Physicians remarked about the courageous fight for life made by Senator Lodge since he was stricken Wednesday, Although almost 48 hours had passed since the stroke came, the patient's pulse was strong and his temperature was fair, ac- cording to hig secretary, Charkes F. Redmond. The blow came entirely without warning. On Wednesday morning only a few hours before he was stricken, Senator Lodge dictated a telegram of congratulation to Presi- dent Cooidge on the outcome of the election. He had planned to leave the hospital this week for his home at Nahant. ee Ever since the latest phase of the senator's illness. was made | ic persistent rumors of his death have been spread throughout the coun- try, such reports have caused flags to be placed at half staff in several New England towns before investi- gation proved them without fotnda- tion. : So near death was Senator Lodge believed to be yesterday that many former and present servants in the Lodge home at Nahant were sum- moned*to the bedside by relatives. ——————— COUNCIL MEETING CALLED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT Mayor 8.

DUELISTS BOTH FALL IN BATTLE PITTSBURGH, Nov. 7.—A_ ya- cant room in a Forber street build- ing here was used as a “‘field of honor" by two Frenchmen today— and when the ‘smoke of battle cleared the men lay dead, each with a bullet in his head. Pierce Biagioll, of French Ital- fan extraction, was called upon by, J. N. Fourraire, a French baker, to explain attentions: alleg- ed to have been paid to Four: anire's wife, Georgette, the mother of two children.. Fournatre spent the last two-months in jail on a serious charge lodged by a 14- year-old girl. He was released on bail yesterday and, returning home, he is sald to have heard wisperings concerning his wife and his friend. Fournaire summoned Biagolt seeking an explanation and they met today to settle the argument. Police reports were that Four- Prints leading nofth across the Northwestern tracks, and soon lost in the drifting snow. Thus the gpen season for banditry was auspicious- ly inaugurated.

Pilé gaid the holdup man, who was short, very heavy set, and apparently Greek or Italian, enter ed with revolver drawn, thrust it into his midriff, and kept him cov- ered while with his left hand he expeditiously emptied the register of all but small change—some $70 in currency and about $25 in silver. Backing out, he raced northward to the tracks. Pile promptly called police headquarters, but no trace of man or money had been found to day.
