old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Nc
Culloch of Ogden, was drowned in
Bear Lake last Friday. afternoon,
while bathing at Ideal Beach. He
and three other musicians were row.
ing and swimming. The boat either
over turned or McCulloch made a
dive from the boat after being over
heated by rowing. The lad was a
good swimmer and it Is probable
that either an attack of heart failure
or cramps was the cause of his in
ability to save himself.
The young man was well known in
Ogden and Logan. During the past
year he attended the agricultural col
iege at Logan, and while still a
Freshman he was given the unprec-
edented honor of being elected yell

took an active part in all high
tschool activities, especially appear

SHERIFF ADDS MORE
BOOZE TO HIS STOCK

Last Saturday afternoon as George
Sparks was driving to Montpelier in
his jitney, numerous auto tracks at
tracted his attention at a point on
the road near windy Flats" He
stopped his car and walked into the
willows a short distance when he
ran onto several empty whiskey
cases. He started to make further
investigation, when bullet whizzed
by him. This caused him to make
a hasty retreat out of willows.
He came on into town al 4 notified
the officers. Sheriff Athay and sew
eral men accompanied Mr.. Sparks
back to the place, and found two
Austrians. guarding their cache Of
booze, consisting of six cases. They
made no resistance when confronted
by the sheriff and his posse. The
booze and men were loaded into a
car and brought to Montpelier. The
men were left in the city Jail and
the forbidden fluid was added to the
sheriff's rapidly increasing stock in
the basement OF the court house. g,
The Austrians were evidently not
satisfied with their quarters in the
city jail for they took French
leave" of the place some time Tues
night. They made their escape by
tearing away the brick in the east
wall until they had a hole large
enough for them to crawl out. This
was done with two pieces of iron
which they either smuggled into the
Jail or were thoughtlessly left there
by the officers.
There were So empty whiskey
cases in the willows at the point
where the men were arrested. The
/ supposition is that the whiskey was
brought to the siding near that point,
| on freight train and all but the six
cases had been divided mp among the
parties interested, and the two Aus
trians were left to get their share
away the best way they could. The
whiskey was all of the "Old Taylor
brand, and it is evident that there is
good supply of that particular
brand scattered about Montpelier.
At prevailing boot leggers' prices
hSheriff Athay has about $4,000
worth Of liquor stored In the base
hent Of the court house.

The Montpelier ball team 10 still
at the bottom of the list In the Wyo-

PEELED the Camels stand to remain

The Green River Brewers took
he Camels down the line in two
ragged games last Saturday and
Sunday.
Saturdays game started off well
and 1t looked as though II was go
ing to be q real ball game, but tho
hopes of the spectators were soon
dispelled and after the third inning
It was apparent that the visitors had
easy pickings.
Vealey, who shot the sphere for
the locals, pitched good ball and
worked hard to win the game. but he
could not overcome errors and bone
head plays the other members OF the
team persisted In making.
There was lots OF rag chewing
over the decisions of the umpires
and at one time II looked as though
a real fistic encounter was going TO
be pulled off. However. an armistice
was signed and the game went to the
close of the ninth inning. when the
score stood IL to In favor OF the
Brewers.
The score by innings was as fol-
lows.

Vealey again occupied the mound
md pitched a better game for seven
innings than he did Saturday. when
he was relieved by Clark. but the
INK continued over the Camels and
he errors piled up thick and fast.
The situation looked a little bet
er for the locals at the end OF the
'hird inning when the score stood

to get revenge on the Brewers.

last Saturday and Sunday. This
makes the Miners and Brewers still
