The Sheridan (Wyoming) Jour
nal tells of the very happy event that
occurred to Oliver Johnstone, of
Sheridan, grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Walters of this city, and who
was here this summer to complete his
Boy Scout swimming tests and which
won him the rank of Eagle Scout,
one of the few boys" so honored in the
state of Wyoming. Oliver is a fine
young lad and the friends here are
pleased to learn of the signal oppor
tunity that has been afforded him of
meeting the president.
"Oliver Perry Johnstone is one of
Sheridan's most happy and compli
mented boys, and treasuring among
the many good things that have come
to him in the past year, through his
application to his studies, music and
diligent work, a visit with President
Coolidge, which came about after he
had received an invitation to come
to see him. In company with his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles J. Johnstone, they motored
through : the Black Hills last week,
and met the President at the White
House, where Mr. Sanders, private
secretary to the president, met and
presented them. President Coolidge
chatted with and complimented Oli
ver on the splendid record he had
made as a Boy Scout, and on his
recent honor, becoming an Eagle.
Oliver is but years of age, but
good size, and is one of the youngest
members ever qualifying as an
Eagle.
"One of the experiences of this
party was the crossing of the Wild
Horse bridge, which went out just
after they had crossed over it, a wall
of water carrying it out. Many tour
ists were held up, unable for hours
to cross the creek.
"Leo Peterson, manager of the
Elk theater in Rapid City, and for
merly holding the same position at
the Orpheum in Sheridan, met the
Johnstones and accompanied them to
see the president, and among others
that the Johnstones met, was a rela
tive of Mrs. Coolidge from Yankton,
S. D., who recognized Mrs. Johnstone
from a picture recently appearing in
the Radio Bulletin."

Festival are to
be Started Soon

Will Probably Be in the Late
Fall After Fair Season.
From Friday's Daily
Thp frill festival in which thf
Chamber of Commerce. Ad club and
: the American Legion will join, is now
(being started on the first steps and
! plans will be outlined as soon as the
committees from these three organ
izations are duly appointed and start
in functioning. While it has not been
definitely decided upon it will prob
ably mark a several days celebra
tion. The dates on which the festival
will be held have not as yet been
decided upon and will follow, it is
thought, as soon after the fair sea
son in the state and the final harvest
as possible.
The fall festival idea is one that
should be followed to a successful
completion and was broached this
year at the time of the discussion of
the plans for an extensive observance
of the Fourth of July, the sentiment
being that a community observance
in the cooler fall weather would be
more enjoyed and escape the blister
ing heat of the mid-summer season.
While the plans of tne event are
still in the first stages ot formation
one event that has been generally fix
ed upon as to be part of the fall
festival, is that of a homecoming day
for all of those who have called this
city their home and who will be in
vited to return and visit the old time
friends and their relatlevs back in
the old home community the old
town has many very tender memories
for those who have lived here in the
past and they will be well pleased to
again let. their footsteps wander back
to the old scenes and to meet those
they have known and been associated
with in the past.
There will be many other features
outlined for the festival that will
make it a real event and a fitting ob
servance of the close of the bounte
ous summer season and the gTeat
crops that are always garnered Id
this garden spot of the state.
The completion of the American
Legion community buildnlg will give
a fine place for the holding of many
of the features of the fall festival
and which will be availagle for the
use of the committe by the time that
the festival will be held.
As soon as possible the commit
tee will get busy and start the plans
that will be pushed to a rapid con
clusion and permit the arrangements
to be perfected for this pleasant fall
attraction and in which our neigh
boring communities will be able tc
participate.

Religious Work
ers Have Dispute
Over Services
Parties Holding Street Services Here
Have Run in With Salvation
Army Forces.
From Saturday's Dally
Several days ago there arrived here
several parties who conducted relig
ious services on the street and who
had garb and manner similar to that
of the Salvation army, one of the
greatest and best known religious
bodies in the country. The services
were held and donations solicited to
help out the good cause and now the
aftermath arrived.
This morning several representa
tives of the Salvation Army of Oma
ha, the headquarters of this area,
arrived here to investigate the meet
ing and whether or not the parties
were representing themselves as
members of the great Salvation army
or merely wandering religious work
ers who were seeking to get through
on what donations and funds they
might raise by soliciting.
After an investigation made by the
Omaha officers of the Salvation Army
it was decided that the parties who
had been here were propertly carry
on their work of spreading the gospel
and that they had in no way caused
any misrepresentation, but were sin
cere and devout laborers in the cause
of the army.

aware of the danger, the truck crash

the wheels of the heavily loaded
truck and the boy was thrown up
onto one of the front fenders of the
truck where he clung tightly and
which saved him from injury or
death as the truck loaded as it wa

before it was forced into the curb by
the driver and stopped.

RAINS "WATER PUPPIES"
From Friday's Dally
Following the rain last evening
there was a very large number of
"water puppies," apparently a var
iety of lizards, in the business part
of the city. The lizards were crawl
ing over the pavement and walks in
the lower portion of Main street and
one party gathered a small bucket
full of the creatures. They are some
thing like the regulation lizard and
where they come from following a
rain is a mystery. They are also a
distant relative of the "water dug"
one of which has been on exhibition
at the Clark barber shop for som"
time, the only difference being that
the "water dogs' are partly web
footed and resemble more a fish than
the puppies.
One party who returned last night
from Omaha on the Burlington train
