WILLIAMS ACCUSED
OF CLUBBING
HORSE TO DEATH
State Humane Officer Will In.
vestigate Alleged Killing
OF Animal By Captain
Of Troop F

What is claimed by e~ye-witnesses
to ave been one OF the most revolt.
ing cases OF cruelty to animals ever
witnessed in this part of Wyoming
occurred on Monday of this week Just
back OF the local school grounds when
Clarence Williams, captain of Cavalry
Troop F and Jack Hughes are alleged
to nave killed one of the cavalry
horses horses by excessive and inhu-
man beating.
One of the most ~disgraceful features
of the incident is the fact that it oc-
cured in full view of many of the pu-
pills Of the school and some members
of the faculty, who expressed horror
at the display OF brutality.
The animal was one Of a team
hitched to a wagon and 1t Is said that
the exhibition Of cruelty lasted for an
hour or more. 1t is asserted that the
horses were numerically beaten time
after time with a club. Finally, when
~theloaded wagon was stuck In a ditch
and the team unable to move it this
beating continued until one of the
horses reared. plunged over the wag.
on tongue and died in full view of the
schoolhouse.
No arrests have as yet been made
but local citizens. notably City Mar
shall Harry Wizard. begun = thorough
investigation OF the affair. After talk
ing to many witnesses regarding
the incident he. with others, madea
careful examination of the Carcass of
the animal. This examination reveal
ed that the head OF the horse was a
mass OF bruises. one of its eyes had
been knocked entirely out. the other
injured and many bruises were also
ound on the body.
State Humane Officer Harris has
been communicated with and in reply
states that he will arrive In Cody Fri
day to investigate and prosecute the
case.
The citizens Of Cody are highly in
censed over the affair and declare
shat full Justice must be melted out to
those responsible for the outrage.

LOWELL BEATS CODY IN
INITIAL FOOTBALL GAME

The Cody high school football team
lost its first game of the season to
Lowell on the local grounds, although
the home boys made an excellent
showing. The final score was 10 to
1S. The Cody team was much out
weighed by the Lowell squad, which
resorted to line plunges as the most
effective means of gaining ground.
while Cody relied more upon the open
play.
The sensations OF the game were
the touchdown scored by McGinniss
who received a forward pass In the
first play of the game, and the spec
tacular u of Newton who carried
the ball some sixty yards for a touch
down. Cody claims hard luck luck,
having twice had the ball almost to
the goal line, but failing to score.
The team goes to Cowley on Friday
OF this week to try conclusions with
the academy team of that place.

PARK ROAD WILL GO
NO. SIDE OF RIVER
Proposed Magnificent Highway
Thru Canyon Will Cost Ap-
p%rOximately $500, 000--
Now Being Surveyed

There will be no road on the south
of the river hat is settled.
The government road will go up the
north side and will be from 60 to zoe
feet above its present location in the
canyon.
Cody folk do not as yet realize the
magnitude of the undertaking. the
preliminary work upon which has al
ready started.
If the present plans are carried
out, and the appropriation secured to
execute them, this road will probably
cost 100000 and be, when completed,
one of the most magnificent stretches
of public highway in the country.
The Park surveying party, consist
ing of ten men headed by s. A. Wal
lace. are now surveying the new road
from four and one~half miles above
the dam to the river bridge.
The plans for the four and a half
miles will be forwarded to the Denver
office this week and the first con-
tract will be let as soon as they have
been examined and approved.
1t is estimated that the average
cost of this o above the canyon
will be about $25, 900 a mile, but two
or three miles will cost at least $751;
900 as much of it will have to he
blasted out of solid rock. The reason
for building this road so far above
the old one is in anticipation of the
time when the dam will be raised 80
foot on fO4k -as1A WOULD $780,
much of the present road.
1t is expected that a mile or two OF
the new road will be completed this
winter.
The new survey has shortened the
road a quarter of a mile in three
miles.

WINTER AND LUCAS OPEN
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN

The opening guns of the fall cam
paign were fired in Cody on Monday
night, when a goodly crowd was adj
dressed at the Temple theatre by
'dge Charles E. Winter of Casper,
candidate for MI. MondelI's seal in
congress, and Frank E. Lucas of Buff
falo, candidate for secretary of state.
Judge Winter made a dignified, en-
tertaining and ~forceful address, con-
filming most of his remarks to a dis
cussion of tfe accomplishments of the
Republican national administration
and defending it against what he
characterized as unjust attacks. His
address was well received by the aud
fence.
Mr.. Lucas, while not claiming to be
an orator, discussed quite ably the is
sues of the campaign both national
and state, and declared his faith in
the Republican party to give the peo-
pie the best possible administration
of their public business.

INDIANS MUST HIRE
GUIDES TO HUNT ELK

A party Of Grow Indians from Pry-
or, Big Horn and Lodge Grass came
TO Cody this week in the hope OF OBJ
tanning permission to hunt but found
that they were unable to do so with
out paying the usual $50 license and
hiring a guide.
They argued that so years ago they
had signed a treaty with the govern
ment wherein it was agreed that hey
should be allowed to hunt anywhere
they desired.
A supreme court judge had how
ever. decided in a case brought ag-
ainst a Bannock Indian, that tho
game belonged to the state and that
therefore Indians must take out IL
censes as well as citizens.
The Crows were much disappointed
as they said this is the first time any
of their tribe have ever asked the
privilege of hunting. AS they had no
money to buy licenses or hire guides
they had their long trip to Cody for
nothing.
The m OF some OF the visitors
were David Bear-tail. Joe Gun, Nicho-
las Stands-on-the-bull, Rose Plenty
Buffalo, Lillian Bull-thatshows. Will
lam Big Day and oliver Foolish Man.

CLARK FALLS OUT
OVER SCHOOL BARN
Log A Swell Dish For Cayuses
Is Contention. Opposition
Want Rustic Trimmings

Paint Creek and Clarks Fork are in
a ferment over the question of build
ing a rustic stable in connection with
their new $4,000 school house.
The bonds for this school house
were opposed by the principal tax
payers on the grounds hat such an
expensive building was not needed by
the ten children going to school in
the district. They carried, however.
and now it is stated that the same
faction that voted the bonds are in
favor of an ornate stable.
The conservative faction contend
that a good log stable is a swell dish
for Clarks Fork cayuses, and that the
real reason those in favor of artistic
trimmings are so interested in the
matter Is because they expect to do
the work on said stable this winter.
1t is said that they are now pack
ing their shootin' irons to school
meetings.

OPERATE WITH FOREST
SERVICE IN PROTECTION

The National Forest of the United
States were established primarily for
the production of timber and water
people and every person in the United
States is a share holder in the For
ests. The benefits he derives are
dependent on the interest taken by
him in the protection IL the timber
and the development of the Forest.
Forests, one of the so-celled minor
purposes, their use as play grounds,
has developed into one of the major
activities. Each year the use of the
Forests for re~creational purposes is
increasing and thousands o. people
are now using these protected areas
for pleasure.
1t is the duty of the Forest Service
to protect the Forests for the benefit
of the people, but it is also the duty
of each citizen to help in this protect
ion. With the thousands of campers
who now visit the Forest, it is imposs-
ible for the Forest Officers to find
and extinguish all incipient fires left
by careless campers, smokers and
others.
N this vicinity we have the Sho-
shone National Forest, tho Oldest For,

boundaries is located millions Of feet
of timber which some day will be util-

GOV. 7RAPPER DOES
EFFECTIVE WORK
Takes rs Coyotes in 2 Weeks
That Have Been Destroying
Pearson Bros. Sheep

A display of predatory animal skins
which was put on exhibition at the
First National bank in Cody last Sat
urday by lobe Borner. government
hunter. attracted much attention and
served to illustrate in a forcible man
ner the work being ion by these gov
eminent men toward Kidding the coun-
try of these most undesirable animals.
The display contained &c coyote
skins, one big bobcat, one skunk and
two badgers and we're the products of
twenty days trapping during Septem-
Der.
According to Mr.. Borner. the gov
eminent estimates that the annual
loss among livestock from each wolf.
coyote. bobcat, lynx and lion is 5000.
A bunch of % TO so coyotes in a town
ship will, he says, do from $4,000 to
$4,000 damage in a single year. In
some of the bad lands which have not
yet been cleaned up It is estimated
that there are from $50 to 300 coyotes.
The d~epredations of these animals
are not confined to livestock alone,
but domestic fowls and wild game of
many kinds are their prey. Sage
chickens. blue grouse, deer and even
elk are killed by them. It is figured
that at least two nests of eggs or
broods OF young game birds are de-
stroyed each day by each pair Of coy
otes.
One rancher in the Big Trails coun-
try lost SO full grown turkeys in about
two weeks time and was helpless to
stop the marauders until Mr.. Borner
was called on for assistance. He
cleaned up the thieving coyotes in
just a week,
In the taking of predatory animals
the period Of the year from July 1 to
November / Ia considered the trap
ping season, from November 1 to
March 1 the poison season and the
remainder Of the year is. the den hunt
ing season. and during the latter sea-
son some OF the most effective work
Is done.
The poisoning OF predatory animals
has been developed into a fine sci
ence. When poison is to be put out
in any district. what is known as
dummy bait is first spread. This
consists of the carcass of some ami
NAL is put out and pieces of the meat
are spread around in & radius of a
few hundred yards. All this bait is
free from poison. After the coyotes
or wolves nave become accustomed
to feeding on this meat posoned meat
is gradually substituted for the dunn
my bait and the animals become vic
tins of mans cunning.
The animals are very cunning them
selves and only the most experienced
trappers and hunters are employed in
the work of Graduating them. Mr..
Borner says that IL they continue to
advance in wisdom 1t will be but a
matter OF a ew years until coyotes
will be trapping men. He is already
doubtful of the advisability of publish
ing the details of how the animals
are destroyed, as he suspects that
the information might be read by
them and the purpose Of the work be
thwarted.
The government hunters are en-
ployed comparatively by the govern
ment and tie woolgrowers associa-
ton. The government pays their sal
aries and the woolgrowers their Incl
dental expenses.

who car afford this kind of hunting.
The game belongs to everybody.
and, as we see it, the person who
hunts on a preserve. kills more than
his allowance or out OF season, is
doing something just as dishonest as
il he went into a public park and car
ried away a few benches or anything
else that he happened to be needing.
MOI does the excuse with which
people living in the game country
seek to Justify their Illegal killings
appeal to us-"that they kill only a
little for their own use'-that it is
not wasted and might winter-kill
anyhow. etc, ETC." If all the settlers
took this view of 1t, the elk and deer
killed out of season would in the ag-
gregate be a formidable number.
The stages are running and nobody
need suffer long for meat who needs
t. Between predatory animals and
he encroachment of settlers upon the
games winter ranges 1t has a hard
enough fight for existance without be-
ing shot at in and out of season.
The trouble is. as we have observed
frequently, that too many people
think the game law is made for every
one but themselves. They wax in
dignant over the illegal killings of
their neighbors yet themselves cannot
resist when the temptation offers or
when they believe themselves safe
from detection.
The public, and the real sportsmen
of America. will be strongly behind
game wardens who have the courage
to do their duty and enforce the game
laws regardless of the influence ar
position of those who break them.
We are wondering if the mar from
Poison Creek who thinks that Caro-
line Lockhart wrote Paradise Lost"
believes that Milton wrote the Dude
Wrangler'?
| One of the arguments used by the
bprohibition fanatics to secure the
nomination of their candidate for the
sheriff's office was that "a vote for
anybody but Davis was a vote for
the moonshine makers,
The same statement was made by
the same people to defeat DR.. True
blood in the municipal elestion when
1t vas proclaimed that "the lid would
be of, liquor would be sold like soda
water and the street would be full OF
drunken brawlers II he were elected.
1t must be something of a disap-
pointment to this better element"
that nothing of the kind has happen
ed.
AS a matter Of fact, DR.. rrueblood's
administration has been the most
PEACEFUL and orderly since the COM
ing of prohibition. There is less
friction and better feeling, a kinder
atmosphere which is so noticeable
that strangers who come here Mt
intervals mention it.
If the present extremist is voted
out of the sheriff's office, there is a
hope that the same thing may happen
in county affairs and we may get back
again to normal, or. in other words,
to peace and economy.

Before the election two years ago,
even fairly independent persons put
on the soft pedal and looked over
their shoulder to see who was listen
ing when they talked of prohibition.
Today they denounce it from the pull
pit and the jury box, bearing out what
well informed and unprejudiced per-
sons say, that the change in public
sentiment upon this question is one
of the most astonishing things in
history.
Rev. Thomas H. Malone is quoted
as saying in a sermon preached at
st. Leo's church in Denver:
"The Volstead act has done more
damage to the United States than
the World War. 1t was passed by
hypocrites, and it's being enforced
by hypocrites. 1t is largely respon-
sible for the general ~looseness of
morals and disregard for law in our
young people"
A dispatch published in the Billings
Gazette this week is as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2S.-Pro-
hibition Is detrimental, oppressive
and undemocratic," and the prohibi-
ton law"is a farce" the San Fran
cisco county grand jury held in a final
report Thursday to the superior court.
The jury report calls on all Cali.

The maintenance of prohibition is
causing an increase in the number of
narcotic cases, the sale of cheap poi
sonous liquors of the bootleg vari
ETY.. the sale of bootleg" whfsk
which is causing a number IL deaths
throughout the country, and an in
crease in the number of grave
crimes. according to the report.
Youths, who never would have
touched liquor before prohibition, are
drinking the noxious beverages and
are becoming habitual drunkards, the
report continues. and the rich are able
to purchase good intoxicating liquor
while the poor are the victims Of the
"bootleggers."
The report concludes with the state
ment that the 'bootleggers are in
favor OF prohibition and are support
ing the dry cause.
However much our tender heart
may bleed for ~bootleggers caught
with the goods on, we can confess
to no such feeling for violators of the
game laws We marvel at the short
sightedness of local residents who
persistently break it, since, even If
they have no sentimental interest in
wild animals. they surely must realize
that the big game is the greatest at
traction this section has to offer per-
sons of wealth who are the only ones
