HIS ARIZONA BEDROOM
A Young Han Performs a Public Dis-
 rObing Act.

Along about midnight of Sunday q young man was seen sitting on the curbstone on Center street just north of Washington. He was not sitting like 9 drunken man but rather he seemed to he in a if of abstraction. He was noticed there for an hour or more At length a spectator on the opposite side Of the street saw him get up, yawn, stretch his arms like a man on the point of going to bed
 When he had finished his stretching he began slowly removing his vest
 which he hung up carefully on the sidewalk at the foot Of a telephone pole. Next off came his trousers, then his shirt, followed by his undershirt and drawers. Having thus completed the disrobing process he began sleep fly looking about as if in search of his night gown. He groped about the tel

ephone pole and looked about the edge of the curbstone without result While he was engaged in the search after his nightie Constable Harry Troops came up, shook him into consciousness and persuaded him to resume his clothing The young man was arrested on a technical charge of disturbing the peace. He could not very well be ar rested for indecent exposure for there was nobody abroad at that hour of the night or morning who could have been seriously shocked. The young man was not inclined to make trouble and the officer having searched him and found S22, took him to a lodging house and put him to bed. He let him have $2 of the money and told him to call at the sheriff's office in the morning for the rest of it. That was in the na- ture of cash bail The young man suggested to. the officer to keep the $2O and let him Eo. The suggestion was declined.
 Yesterday morning the young man appeared before Justice Johnstone and was given the very moderate fine e $5. He was a very shamefaced indi- vidual. H. said that he had no rec ollection of anything that t1anspired on the sidewalk. He remembered that he had been slaking his thirst all af- ternOOn and evening with malt spir- tious and vinous beverages for the weather was very warm and thirst in spring. The first lucid moment he enjoyed was when he found himself in the company of the officer. He ap- pears on the record as John Doe. but that is not his name. He is said to be a very nice young man and of some standing in the community.

X. Of Ps. Organize At Basin.

Last Thursday evening the organiza-
tion of a splendid lodge of Knights OF
Pythias was perfected at Basin. The
work was under the direction of c. S.
Manahan grand chancellor, of New
castle, and w. L. Elswick grand inner
guard, of Sheridan, assisted by ID. A.
Fakler and A. L. Putnam of Newcastle.
Judge Parmelee, past grand chancellor,
rendered valuable assistance. as also
did Lewis w. Shuman now of Cody,
who carries the jewel of past grand
chancellor of Nebraska, and as such
established an cnviable reputation
there for ability and devotion to the
order. The new lodge at Basin will
be known as Triangle Lodge No. 81
and will close its charter with about
forty members. This lodge starts out
well Differed and an exceedingly
bright future. M. B. Rhodes of the
Big Horn County Bank was chosen as
chancellor commander. 1t is expected
that a lodge will soon be established in
Cody as there are a number of men,
bers in this city.

Court Adjourns.

The district court adjourned on Sat
urday last. Big Horn county is quite
a Mecca for divorces, most of them
from foreign states. One fair damsel
left Garland and started overland
in the very pink of condition, but
the wagon being without springs,
on the trip one glass eye was jolted
out and the lower set of teeth
spilled overheard, and On the pre-
sentation of the case before the
court, the judge concluded she would
have little prospect for a speedy and
happy ~re-marriage, so rejected the
application until the applicant could
~rejuvenate.
Another candidate robed in lavender
colored opera hose, and all radiant in
the full blossom of exuberant youth
and with eyes so dazzling in ~splendor
as to eclipse the rays of the MONDAY
sun, net with better success, and the
prayer OF the petition that she be re-
stored to her maiden name and pres
tine innocence, was hastily granted,
and she too, departed for a brief SO.
journ to the T~hermopolis hot springs.

Strange MaIady.

There is a strange epidemic now rag
ing at Basin, which threatened to SER
iously interfere with the future of that
now prosperous burg, and eminent ply
stefan are at a loss to properly diagnose
the malady. 1t is called the Copper
mountain Itch" The bankers are af-
hicted with it, so are the freighters,
the ranchmen, the storekeepers, and
ever the little school children show
symptoms of the affection. No fatal
cases are yet reported but several
are very low lin their pockets)
but their friends hope for a recov-
cry, when the spring robins begin to
chirp. Up in Cody they call it "coal
mines" and down 80 Bonanza it is
known as the ''oil malady."

A Gamblers Combine.

A gamblers combine to control state
legislation is now in progress, accord
ing to the Cheyenne Tribune. In a
leading editorial that paper says:
The promptness with which gambling
houses were closed in Cheyenne, Rock
Springs and other places was a surprise
to the authorities who were prepared
for determined resistance. The dis
covery that a combination of the gam
blers in the state is to be formed, or is
already being formed, explains this
action as the gambling house owners
had doubtless an agreement at that time
as to the course to be pursued. Thus
in Rock Springs, where gambling was
carried on more extensively than in
any other town in the state, the mere
announcement by the prosecuting at.
torney that he proposed to close up the
places was followed at ono by the
voluntary closing on the part of the
owners.
1t is believed by those interested in
the question that all of the gamblers
will contribute to q slush fund which
will be used in an attempt to control
the coming state election, elect suf-
icient number Of senators and repre-
sentatives so that with the assistance
of others who will favor the movement,
the laws can be revised to permit
gambling"

the legal right of the gamblers, the
bakers, the bankers, the clergy or any
other recognized body of mer who have

ton of the valuable services rendered

compose that vast army of employees of
the government in the Panama canal.
This merits the commentator of every
true American citizen. 1t gives The
Enterprise great pleasure to announce
that equal care and precaution has al
ready been taken by the government
contractors of the Cody Canyon Dam
and the equally vast project down at
the Corbett dam and tunnel. We learn
on reliable authority that Messrs. Pen
dergast & Clarkson, of Chicago, who
have this contract, have closed a con-
tract with Doctors Lane and Bradbury
to take charge of a hospital to be here
erected for the care of those who may,
during this construction work, be-
come incapacitated through disease or
accident.
The reputation of these physicians and
surgeons is such hat the public in
general, and the patients in particular,
will have, in advance, the fullest assur-
ance that no better selection could have
been made.
The site selected for the hospital is

residence.

Sydney Smith, the world renowned

He was celebrated IN each country par

Mr.. V. G. LANTRY,
U. S. Commissioner.
Dear Sir:
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that the water permit for the Cody
canal expires Dec. 31st, 1907, and on
account of the building of the govern
men system, the permit cannot be re-
newed. 1t is therefore necessary that
every acre of ground covered by your
patent be reclaimed and irrigated be-
fore that date, as otherwise upon in
spection by the government all lands
not reclaimed will be excluded from u
share in the water, causing you to lose
water right for the lands which have
not been irrigated prior to that date.
You would, of course, have title to the
land, but your water right would be
cut down to the amount of land actually
reclaimed prior to hat date.
Yours truly,

right in any manner is to invite
revenge. Freedom of intercourse is
not of today alone, it is rooted in
ten thousand battles of the past and
is the very sap of human develop

doings of Socialists the capitalist
press is blocking the current of So

the root of democracy, The time
will come when the capitalist papers
will devote considerable space to
the discussion of Socialism largely
to the exclusion of rape, murder,
