Case Dismissed Against F. L.
Byington on Grounds of

F. L. Byington, proprietor of the
R~hinocerous Soft Drink Parlor in
Powell. was disappointed rather than
elated that his case was dismissed by
request of the prosecuting attorney,
upon the grounds of insufficient evil
dence.
Mr.. Byington was charged by Sher-
if Davis's deputy. Bud Cozens. of
having had a quart of liquor in his
possession. The defendant was pre-
pared to produce Is witnesses who
were ready to swear that they had
had drinks with Mr.. Cozens from bot
ties produced from his own hip pock-
ct or from the car which he used to
pursue ~bootleggers.
1t appears that a committee con-
sisting of the mayor of Powell, Dr..
Mills, Scott Lyle, councilman. Grin
Mccain, constable, Mr.. Mudgett, state
representative, waited upon Mr.. Da-
Wis some time back and asked him to
remove Cozens.
He promised, they state, to do so,
but failed to keep his word.

is to have a thankless deputy. From

Charge Rather Than Stand

Tony Stupor, whose activity bellies
his name. had the best attention of
the Judge and jury, the attorneys and
sheriffs and a large audience during

Tony met up with what is known
locally as a bunch of grief" while
enroute to Cody last summer.
Pursued by the sheriff who, out on
another chase. happened to encounter
him in Sand Coulee, Tony's speed was
such that when he stepped on the
gas he missed the bridge over the
irrigation ditch this side OF Powell,
and hurdled 1t TO the extent OF bury
ing the front Of the machine in the
opposite bank.

Tony underneath the steering gear.

was removed by his captors.
Tony declared that he did not know
it was the sheriff who commanded
him to stop in Sand Coulee and init
mated that 1t was a matter of .prip,
ciple with him not to take orders
from anybody but to keep on going in
such circumstances. He vas aston

three cases of whiskey were found
twenty-five feet from the car and he
was accused of having had them In
his possession,
He deelred that by one Of these re

This he did and was fined $500 and
a jail sentence of 60 days which was
