men, believed to be Denver fugitives
had taken a freight train from

Littleton.
Stevens and Haynes organized a
posse but before it could be formed
had started toward Colorado Springs
to head off the train before iq
reached Littleton. They encoun
tered the two men at the Plum
Creek school house six miles south
of Littleton and ordered them to
halt.
The two men refused to obey the
order and the two officers opened
Are. Their Are was returned by the
two men and Marshal Stevens fell,
with a bullet through the chest and
one through the leg. As he lay on
the ground he continued to Are.

office here and wounded one of the
men, perhaps fatally.

"In addition to the cost of new
wells there will be millions of dol

in producing and pumping tho oil
and gas. During the next five years
those fields will produce from 125.-

and unaccountable millions of cubic

"Fifty cents per barrel of oil will
do for a rough measure of the ex

of 62 H to 75,000,000 dollars to be
spent in this vicinity during the next
five years as production expense.
"Adding together the cost of new

the part of all to make their city at

people are to have a city which all

developing a united community, with

•‘Community service Is a leisure
time movement—but merely to fill
the leisure time of life with worth
while activities is not the whole
thought or alm of community ser
vice. A community moral Is sought
which shall bind all together and
give sustaining power to each indi
vidual and to tho community as a
whole.
“Community service Is /an organi
zation which deals with all classes
and creeds, recognized no dividing
lines among the people- It sees but
one group in- the community and
this group composed of all of Its cit
izens. Anything which the people
of the community may conceive as
good for all, as that which will count
toward the enrichment of the entire
community life, has a place in com
munity service.”
R. S. Ellison, vice president of the
Midwest company, referred to an in
terview In which Coi. R. W. Stew
art had indicated a desire to cooper
ate in some such a plan for the
good of Casper people.
‘‘The fact Is significant,” said Mr.
Ellison, “especially when scandal
mongers and obstructions are
abroad. It is one of the great
things wo must work on along with
other great plans such as the Casper-
Alcova irrigation project and -the
water supply question."
