Big Preparations are Being Made
to Give the Frontier Hunter
a Great Welcome.
WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY.
Will be Escorted From the Depot
by Company E W. N. G. in
Full Uniform. Reception at
The Irma at $50 p. m.

The veteran hunter and manager of
the well known Wild West Show, w.
f. Cody, will arrive from New York to-
morrow night, to be received with
great welcome by the citizens of Cody
and the people of this part of Wyom-
ing. Colonel Cody is too well known
by everyone to need biographical
mention here. He is Known through
out the world, from one lands end to
the other, as being the veteran scout
and greatest as well as most successful
hunter in the whole world. His con-
nection with the great Wild West
show which has spread its canvas in
almost every cline and within every
states border line has brought him
wildly before the people and we feel
safe in saying. that hardly is there a
man ia this great nation that is more
extensively known han is he. This
last season ne has been exhibiting his
great show in countries abroad, where
he has met with brilliant success and
cordial welcome. His letters home which
prove him an enthusiastic and sincere of
purpose intermingled TO- and then
with a bit of his keen sense of humor
which is iaughable to say the least
In one instance he writes that owing 10
a terrific wind storm in one of tie
cities of France, he was obliged to
eliminate one feature of his great
show. for that particular exhibition.
When the show was ended he was
accosted by one of his audience who
demanded his money back saying that
one feature had not beer shown to MIN.
The Colonel in the typical American
determination of excepting ahead of a
foreigner" gazed a IN and then
said in his true American accent.
"Well my dear sir. you are correct,
but / thought there shouldn't be any
dissatisfaction when | brought a cyclone
in it's place." The beaten man of
French appelation turned and without
a whimper walked slowly away.
"Buffalo Bill" for so he is termed by
most people became identified with the
Big Horn basin, some years ago,
having gained confidence in its wealth
and worth years ago when his scout
ing expeditions led him within its
range. His big TIE ranch south of
Cody, and his many investments in
Cody prove the confidence he manifests
in the future of Cody and the coun-
try surrounding. Much of his time
and money is expended in this town
and the Big Horn basin, and it is main
ly through his untiring efforts that the
Burlington railroad extended its line
from Tuluca.
Colonel Cody left New York Sunday
night and reached Lincoln Tuesday
where he will spend a short time.
From Lincoln the Colonel will come
direct to Cody, arriving here tomor-
row night "when the train does" He
we will be met at the depot by compa-
ny +, w. N. G.. who will be in full
dress uniform. From the depot he will
be escorted to the Irma hotel, there to
be received by the officers and citizens
of Cody. George Z. Beck will be the
master of ceremonies, and j. M.
oCuMOOD, v l.. wills alit L y lNIdBN
= ley will deliver welcoming addresses.
At $50 the hotel will be opened for
a general reception to which everyone
is invited to be present. After this
dancing will be conducted under the
management of Mr.. Barnett in the
Irma dining room. Miss Ethel Cal
kins and Mrs. Barnett will furnish the
music which, we can predict, will be
excellent. Luncheon will be served in
the private dining room at eleven
O'Clock.
Special effort is being made to get
the train in on time that night. How
successful will be the result remains to
be seen. However, it is known that
''our Colonel" will receive the hearty
welcome which to him is due.
LATER:-Owing to the death of our
highly respected townsman, Mr.. ]. FL.
Peake, the program published above
will be indefinitely postponed.
