LITTLETON TOWN
MARSHAL WOUNDED.
LITTLEON, Colo., April 80.—

was wounded, perhaps fatally short
ly before noon today in a gun battle
with two men suspected of having
escaped from the Denver county jail

a deputy sheriff’s commission, to
gether with Undersheriff Haynes, re
ceived word this morning that two
men, believed to be Denver fugitives
had taken a freight train from
Struby, Colo., a station south of
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.
according to reports to the sheriff's
office here and wounded one of the
men, perhaps fatally.

Undershcrlff Haynes.
Marshal Stevens and the wounded
man were removed to the hospital
here and the second man was
brought to the county jail here.
Littleton is a suburb about ten
miles south of Denver.
The identity of the two men has
hot been determined.

• Help, the prince has fallen again! That's what rumors from Europa
say. And no wonder! The lovely 15-year-old Prlnftess Ueana, of Rumania,
is said to have caused the prince’s heart to jump and throw him to a fall.
The visit to England and Paris of the king and queen of Rumania is said
to have been actuated by match-making possibilities. Anyway, the prince
t says: “She's a good little sport.” And what more could any prtneess want.
drilling the 2,600 wells will be >37,-
600.000.
"In addition to the cost of new
wells there will be millions of dol
lars spent in Salt Creek and Teapot
in producing and pumping tho oil
and gas. During the next five years
those fields will produce from 125.-
000,000 to 150,000,000 barrels of oil
and unaccountable millions of cubic
feet of gas. *
"Fifty cents per barrel of oil will
do for a rough measure of the ex
pense involved, which gives a total
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
wells, production expense, and the
millions that will bo spent on wild
cat wells in the vicinity, we get a
total of more than >100,000,000 to be
spent here during tho next five
years.

fects health, happiness, character
and citizenship throughout the com
munity. It is a united Endeavor on
the part of all to make their city at
tractive to themselves and others,
a better place for ail to live. If any
people are to have a city which all
may enjoy, then all the forces for
good must pull together toward this
common goal. No city can be really
sound at the core if its people are
for any reason, divided into hundreds
of strange, strange groups. There
must be some common platform for
togetherness. Every community
neods something to do as a com
munity, something to which all of
the people can give themselves, their
resourdes and talents—in this way
developing a united community, with
a real existence, a soul and person
ality of its own. Community ser
vice is an organization of the peo- i
pie of the community which points
toward and works for these things;
it provides just such a platform, a
common meeting place for the peo
ple. a community center where all
may come together ns friends and

•‘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."
H. Roe Bartie, head of the Cas
per boy scouts, pledged his support
to the community building Idea as
did the others who were gathered at
the meeting.
