GUILTY OF MANUFACTURER

James Malody, charged with
murder in the first degree for kill
ing Tom Hayes at Encampment
last summer, has been found gull
ty of manslaughter in the district
court at Rawlins and will later
be sentenced from one to twenty
years in the penitentiary for his
crime.
The attorneys for Malody set
up insanity as a defense and made
out II strong case. They proved
he was born when his father was
insane that one sister became in
sane at the age of nine years and
another committed suicide when
twenty-three years old. In spite
OF this apparently strong defense,
how ever, the defendant was
found guilty of manslaughter.

WYOMING CONE 70 ITS OWN.

The eyes of the entire country
are focused en- Wyoming. The
sweeping victory of the state at
the Lewis 4 Clark Exposition in
Portland, where it obtained a
greater percentage Of awards than
any other state or territory, is GER
tain TO bring to it new settlers
and a plethora of eastern capital.
Wyoming's exhibits captured 81
gold medals, % silver medals, 30
bronze medals, and % honorable
mentions in the mining and agri-
cultural departments.
Truly Wyoming is coming to
-ifs4own. All that the state has
needed has been development.
Now that our wheat, oats. barley.
alfalfa and wool has been pro-
claimed superior to all others,
there scarcely will be lack of mon
ey or men to make the state one
of the richest in the West. The
fact, too, that a number of new
railroads into Wyoming are pro-
jected also will draw settlers. The
big consuming centers of the east
are the natural markets for the
states products. They car be
shipped there and entered into
successful competition with the
states further to the east. 1t is
this very fact that has made the
present prosperity of Wyoming
possible, and holds out golden
/. promise for greater prosperity to
come. With such a victory as
that gained by the state at Port
land, every man, woman and child
should become an advertising
agent for Wyoming. Boosting is
what the state needs. The pos
sibilities are all here.

. G A PRIZE BULL

In addition to the many salts
factory sales of live stock at the
fair some good transactions are
reported having been made by
Converse county owners to visi-
tors outside of the regular auction
sales at the fair itself. One of
these was by Hon. Lyman B. Coo
per, manager of the Cooper-W Will
lox Live Stock company. Mr..
Cooper sold to Captain Louis G..
Davis, of Saratoga, the yearling
bull Emporia for a consideration
of $500. This bull was a year old
September IS, and ON that date
weighed 100 pounds. His dam is
a 170O-pound COW, Beau Reals
Bertha, and his sire is Prince
Laurel, the present head of the
Willox herd. and formerly
head of the celebrated herd of T.
B. f. Sotham, of Chillicothe, Mis-
souri,. Prince Laurel's sire was
the famous Corrector, worth $3.50
900, and his dam was II 21O0-pound
COW, the Invincible Lady Laurel,
so-calied because of her enormous
weight and perfect conformation.
Emporia is the first calf sired by
Prince Laurel born at the Cooper
WilloX ranch since his purchase
from Mr.. Sotham.
Captain Davis has been in the
registered Hereford cattle bust
ness for many years and under
stands it thoroughly. He bought
Emporia expecting him to become
his top herd bull. He attended
the dispersion sale of the Jesurum
herd of registered Hereford cat
tie and had an opportunity to
purchase the top bull of the herd,
Climax 3lst. for 1925. He chose
rather to pay $500 for Emporia
when the latter was but a few days
over a year old, which certainly
speaks we'll for the Cooper Willox
herd, and especially we'll for
Prince Laurel, the sire. Budget.

wYoMING's OIL IS BEST

Prof. G. w. Hayes, of the geo.
logical survey, has announced
from Washington that he found
the oil of southwestern Wyoming
far superior to any that has ever
been produced in California. He
discovered, also, that this state
gave promise of becoming even
more noted Than Pennsylvania as
a great oil state. The oil fields
are not 'confined only to the south,
western portion of the state, but
are found scattered generally
turnout Wyoming. They + es-
pecially rich, and the refined or
the water white oil used for illum-
mating is of especially high quail
".
At the state fair in Douglas
several exhibits of oils were made
and they were uniformly excel
lent. The only drawback to the
development of the vast fields lies
in the fact that the best proper
ties lack railroad facilities. With
the building of more railroads il
the state these fields will develop
rapidly and add much to the
wealth of Wyoming.
Considerable oil is now beins
