One of the British demands upon the-Egyptian government after the assassination of Sir Lee Stack, the sirdar of the Egyptian army, was the evacuation of the Sudan by all the Egyptian military forces there. A Cairo @ispatch last night said when the acting sidar gave the nec- essary orders for the evacuation the Egyptian officers and troops de- clined to obey and ‘offered resist- ancet declaring they would not leave unless they received omlers from the Egyptian government. British troops thereupon surround: ed the Egyptians and the govern- ment at Khertum, capital of the Su- dan, telegraphed Cairo asking that such orders be issued. The message intimated the Egyptian troops were ready to resist further but pointed out that they had only twenty two hounds off ammunition. per. man, whereas the British had ‘unlimited supplies.” After a meeting of the Egyptian ministry, the war minister ordered the, withdrawal to prevent “ure'ess * bloodshed.” DOZEN.

On night shortly after the com- Pletion of the round the world flight Mayor Rolph was introducing Lieut. Lowell Smith and his fellow airmen to an audience of 10,000 people as- sembled in the San Francisco Mu- nicipal auditorium. Another 500,000 or more were listening in on the air. All were eager to hear an ad- dress from the lips of the man who had commanded the first fleet of airplanes to circumnavigate the globe. Next morning a newspaper, com- menting on the function, said that as a speaker Lieut. Smith was cer- tainly a great aviator. He had re plied to Mayor Rolph's flowery or- ation in five short sentences: "said “Silent” Smith, “we are overwhelmed by San Fran- cisco’s hospitality. But I must con- fess that I have returned home to discover that there is something even more difficult than flying around the world, and that is mak- ing a speech. ~Onvour flight I often owed much—at times everything— ‘tO the other five ufficers who accom- panied me, and more especially to the man who flew with me in the Chicago.

A scant $900 turned in by a dwindling corps of solicitors was the sole fruit of the Tuesday to Friday canvass. Grave as the situation was admitted to be, M. A. Becklinger, chairman of the drive, let it be known today that there would be no cessation of effort until the last cent of the fund was paid in or pledged. “It may take until Christmas,” he said. ‘But we are going to carry onto the grim finish.” EMBEZZLER IS CAPTURED A. G. Ralston, Wanted for Defalcation While Selling Building and Loan Stock, to Be Returned Here Charged with embezzling $1,706 in company funds, Dr. A. G. Ralston) former agent for the Intermountain Building and Loan company of Billings, Mont., in the Salt Creek oil field district, was arrested yesterday at Kalispel, Mont. Charles Young, deputy sheriff, left this morning for Kali- spel with extradition papers and is expected to return to Casper with Ralston Sunday. Ralston is said to be using the title of “doctor” by courtesy as he is a medical student with one more ‘Brick’ McCabe Sent to CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 28— John (Brick) McCabe of Casper was Senteuced to two and one-half years the penitentiary at Leavenworth when a jury in United States dis- trict court here returned a verdict nvicting him of violation of the Harrison narcotic act. The viola- ‘lon which was the basis of the ver- Gict here was the third ef which McCabe had been convicted. Mc- -Prison ‘Cabe's wife, Myrtle, a few days ago was bentenced to four months in jail for violation of the drug act. Louis (Jew) Marymount of Casper, indicted with McCabe, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $250. He paid. George Reading of Riverton plead- ed guilty of violation of the drug act and was sentenced to en months in jail, year to complete before he gets his degree. He was in the oil fields from April through August and it is claimed by the loan company with which he was associated that he made collections in that time totall- ing $2,435 of which he turned in only $700 odd dollars. » George A. Gunderson of Salt Creek is said to have been the man who called the company’s attention to Ralston’s alleged deratcations when collections made from Gunderson were never credited at the home of- fice of the company. Although the total embezzlements of Ralston are id by the company to be slightly More than $1,700 the warrant for his arrest charges one specific shortage of $345 in April it. The warrant was' made out Octo- ber 6 and in the intervening six weeks the sheriff's office has been making strenuous efforts to locate Ralston, The first that was heard Business and professional organ- izations will be called on to mobilize the full strength of their member- ship, in the hope of snatching victory from the menace of defeat. The Cas- per Real Estate board, in response to Mr. Becklinger’s appeal, has is- sued a call to its members to meet tonight at 7 o'clock in the office of John M. England, 212 Midwest building, to be divided into teams for house-to-house solicitation, A simi- lar appeal will be made to the Ro- tary club at its luncheon meeting Monday. If the campaign still lags when the next reports are heard at the Henning Tuesday noon, Lions and Kiwanis will be enlisted. Defections in the ranks of can- yassers have left tho little band of faithful: workers gravely depleted. With less than 65 per cent as many solicitors enlisted at the beginning of the campaign as last year, the or- ganization has dwindled until the few captains remaining are wholly inadequate for the number of calls that must yet be made. ~A new corps of volunteers is badly needed, Mr. Becklinger said. Drive officials are pinning thelr hopes on evening solicitation to gar. ner the remaining thousands. Re- (Continued on on Page Nine) LANDER IS THRILLED BY QUAKE LANDER, Wyo., Nov. 28. When a tragedy of no more serious gonsequences than the dislodging and spilling of a half-pint of ‘good’ whiskey results from an earthquake, then those who exper- lence the shock are to be com- mended for possessing lively imag- inations.

Dishes rattled and clattered in the cupboards. Pans banged to- gether. Pictures all but turned thelr faces to the wall. Beds got into action for a scenic railway roll. Tables tottered. Chairs chat- Mered. Candelabras cavorted. Shingles shimmied. It lasted only a fraction of a second but in that brief period a thousand people trembled terror stricken in their night shirts, ex- Pecting a grand crash. Because one citizen decorated & window sill with a flask of liquor, it was his misfortune to see the bottle suddenly become tipsy, stag- ger and topple off onto the floor.
