COSTS 500 T0WH|P
COP IN MEETEETSE
Rebuked For "HoIlerin', Lloyd
Coleman And Officer Ekdahl
Mix at Social Function

Administering Justice from a keg OF
nails in the rear of his grocery empo-
rum. Judge Shorty" WEIGH fined
Lloyd Coleman 500 and costs last
Monday for hitting the Chief of Police
of Meeteetse three punches in the
jaw n "hollerin'" at a social func-
ton.
Lloyd, still wearing his prison pal
Tor and complaining bitterly of the
hardness of the mattress in the Nee
teetse ~calaboose, came home after his
hearing declaring that the fine was
excessive as he has hit far better men
in the jaw for half the money.
The unusual amount, however. is
attributed not so much to the fact
that he struck an officer as that the
treasury was empty and the town was
said to be behind two months with
EkdahPs salary. This can now be
paid in full with something 10 start
on for October.
But even more astonishing than
that it is now a crime to whip an ofri-
GER, Is the news tina it is no longer
etiquette to 'holler" at a social func-
ton in Meeteetse.
Unaware of this change in the So
cial code, the Cody guests who drove
e to attend the dance in the hall
last Saturday began hollerin' as soon
as they had arrived at the proper
stage of enthusiasm. This was about
eight thirty and very likely kept the
~neighbors awake although they t
up later than usual on Saturday night.
Cody folk are sensitive when visit
ing neighboring towns and the harsh
tone and language used by OFFICER
dahl when he informed them hat they
would have to close their mufflers,
grated. Therefore, as the chief of
police wore no badge to indicate his
authority, the Cody visitors exercised
the prerogative they have enjoyed
since Wyoming. ceased TO be a terri
tory and hollered some more, louder
and with a derisive note which had
the ring of battle.
Accounts vary as to what happened
thereafter. Only one fact is estab-
lished and it is that while Mr.. Cole
ZIG va III 5LdI Wutu nt lIl MT. bh-
dahl, the chief of police saw several.
Eye witnesses state that the floor will
require planning where he left his i'm
print in it n that it will be weeks
before his front teeth are again solid.
Two more landed as effectively and
the chief of police, who is said to be
a warrior from Bonneville, thought
the room was full of Colemans.
AT In rate, he thrust his gun into
George Coleman's stomach and told
him to surrender.
The incident had a tendency to mar
the pleasure of the evening and the
amicable relations which had existed
between the townsfolk and the visit
ors from. Cody were somewhat strain
ed after Lloyd had been escorted to
the calaboose. Ladies of the two
factions shook their myers under each
others Moses and challenges were
exchanged, couched in words which
sounded like business.
Fortunately, cooler counsel pre-
vailed" as the phrase is, so there va
no hair lost or blood shed. 1t is hoped
that the breach will soon heal and a
few whoops and a holler will not be
allowed to come between friends.

RANCHERS SIDE Of
FIGHT AGAINST THE
GREYBULL DIRT DAM
o. B. Mann Calls Plan A Death
Trap, And Considers Pro-
ject Impractical And
Impossible

tAt
In speaking of the Sunshine Reser-
voir as proposed by the Greybull I'm
provement Co., 1t mean very little to
the settler who feels that he Is in
need of water for a dry farm But
when we go into details, giving dimen-
sions and capacity, as compared with
other projects of the kind. 1t seems
that one would see at once how i'm
practicable n impossible the prof.
ect is as proposed.
1t might be well to compare it with
the Shoshone dam, as nearly. every
body in the Greybull district has seen
or knows something about it. The
Shoshone dam is one of the highest
irrigation dams in the world. Built
by the government at an expense of
1900. o00-costing about twice as
much as he best engineer in the
world figured on, and breaking every
contractor who touched it, and had to
be finished by the government.
Now here comes the Greybull I'M
provement Company with its project.
Is times bigger. with one-ninth OF the
capacity, to be built at a cost of $780,
900. The concrete n stone rip-rap
in the proposed reservoir is two-ffths
as much as the entire Shoshone dam,
and after we get oil this stone and
concrete we have q dam 1900 feet
long. 800 feet at the base with a
height Of 100 feet. which would make
it n of the largest dirt dams in the
world.
Everybody that has lived in an irri-
gated country knows what a dirt dam
means. Look at the destruction and
death toll at Pueblo in the last year
by the breaking of a s0-foot dirt dam.
Here is one more than three times
as high. and the engineers say per-
fectly safe. built in a country OF cloud
bursts n fools. without a spillway.
There has been a petition sent in
30 one of the governments agents
signed by $50 settlers in this district
asking and pleading that the gov
ernnient take steps to prevent this
death-trap from being built above
their homes. The Wyoming Tribune
came out and said that the project
had been put into the hands of a very
efficient engineer in James B. True
for completion.
Now James may be very efficient.
for he said that II the contract was
let to him he could build this dam of
over 5000. 900 cubic yards of puddled
earth at a cost of loo per cubic yard
n make good money. With James
so efficient, we are at a loss to know

umph for prohibition. Mr.. Keith once
barred mother-in-law jokes, also, but
we never heard that it was regarded
as a victory for mothers-in-law. His
reason then as we are told it is now,
was because it was overworked by the
entertainers.
A druggist over in Basin sold eight
ounces of Jamaica ginger to a man
who said he had a sick horse. The
man returned and stated that he had
broken the bottle and asked for IN
other which was sold him. The man
used the Jamaica ginger as a bever
age and the druggist was arrested.
When the case came up for trial at
Lowell it was dismissed promptly. 1t
all sounds as 1 it might have happen
ed in Cody.
Last week the prohibition commits
sioners limited the sale of tincture
of ginger to one fluid ounce. Lemon

ties-something ought to be done
about it.

Babcock Authority is
Overruled by the Court
Powers of Designating Highway
Routes Denied; Will Appeal to
Supreme Court at Once

Rochester, Sept. ga decision
which may, if affirmed by the SUI
preme court, revise certain import
ant provisions of the Babcock road
amendment, was handed down by
Judge c. E. Callaghan in distric.
court Monday, when he overruled
State Highway Commissioner C. M.
Babcock's order establishing mile
end half new road on Trunk High
way No. Z. The new road would run
west of the village of Byron. The de-
cision virtually declared that Bah
cocks authority in designating the
route of new road is not final, as
provided in the so-called Babcock
constitutional amendment.
The ruling of Judge Callaghan di-
rectly opposed the contention of G.
"A. Youngquist, assistant attorney
general, who declared at hearing
that the language Of the Babcock
amendment is plain in placing the
final authority of location of roads in
oabcock's hands. Youngquist an
nounced that an appeal would be i'm
nediately taken on the ground that
The order of Commission Babcock is
conclusive evidence of the necessity
for new road.
In handing down his decision Judge
Callaghan said that if the highway
commissioners order is final, then the
property Of those along the right OF
way would be taken without due pro-
cess of law, in that no opportunity
for public hearing had been provid-
ed previous to the issuance of the
order designating the road.
Taking this course without hearing,
Judge Callaghan permitted introduc-
ton of evidence as to the necessity
for establishing the proposed new
route for Trunk Highway, No. Z. If
the new road was established it
would cut through the property of
three farmers and would, according
to their testimony, destroy the value
of their farms, because of the lay of
the land. The new road would also
result in maintenance of three par
allel roads within a stretch of three
quarters Of a mile. On this basis
Judge Callaghan declared the road
not necessary.
Judge Callaghan's decision was OPP
posed and supported by residents in
the vicinity of Byron, who packed
the court room during the hearing
The majority Of the residents of By
ron opposed the ruling of Commits
sioner Babcock in that it leaves
BYRON half mile off the main trunk
highway.

surprise to all those that attended the
fair and there was an immense crowd
present from all sections of the county
and especially from our neighbor1ng
owns to help celebrate the day.
The program of the day started at
,bout $50 with an address by Mrs.
Anna Dickey Oleson, the speaker of
he day. Mrs. Oleson is candidate
for United States Senator, and in her
address here proved that she was well
and that she was "spell-binder OF

extraordinary ability won and made
friends in her talk here.
Following the address the fair com
nittee was busy entering the exhibits
Of the day. The entries made in every
department were simply marvellous and
exceeded every expectation.
The Brooten band furnished the mu-
sic of the day and the line of sports,
oase ball, races, were good.
We regret to state that We are un-
able to publish the prize winners In
this issue Of the Tribune, but we Will
publish them in our next issue, which
should prove interesting.
The success of the Fair was un-
doubtedly due to active work of a
live Community Club, whose member
ship consists Of the town and country
people and which was organized a
short time ago.
Everybody was pleased with the
Fair as the exhibits were excellent, the
amusement program was filled every
minute and it was not uncommon to
hear people say that the Belgrade
Community Fair proved more interest

officials of the Fair labored hard ano

joyed the day and that the Fair proved
such a great success.-Belprade Tri-

III. C. Maynard Dead
The Leader regrets to have to chroni-
Gle this week the death of Harrison
G. Maynard, who died Tuesday even
ing shortly before six o'clock.
Mr.. Maynard had been in ill health
the past two years and had been quite
seriously ill the past ten days. AL
though he had been in failing health
for several months, nevertheless he
was up and around and at times ap-
peared to be on the gain. He was up
town a week ago Monday greeting old
friends in his usual genial way. That
evening, however, he suffered another
attack Of heart trouble and from that
time until death came to his relief
he was not able to rally. His death
was peaceful, his last hours being part
1y unconscious, although at times he
appeared to be able to recognize those
about him.
The funeral will be held from the
home this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev.
G. H. Blake of the Methodist church
officiating and interment will be made
in the cemetery at Browerville.
Harrison Christopher Maynard was
born April 16, 1857, at Pikeville, Pike
county, Kentucky. He was the son of
Benjamin and Elizabeth Maynard. The
family came to Minnesota in 1866, To-
eating first at St. Cloud. A year lat
er. however, they came to Todd county
and settled on a homestead near Clo-
tho. There Mr.. Maynard grew to
young manhood, assisting his father in
Che development of this frontier farm
and sharing with the rest of the fami-
ly the privations of pioneers.
On September II, 1876, at Hartford
he was married to Miss Mary Saloma
Sarff.
In 1908, he was elected Register Of
Deeds of Todd county and was re-elect-
ed three times serving four terms,
three of them of two years years each
and one of them of four years. He re-
tired voluntarily in 1919. Since that
time he has gradually retired from &C.
tive affairs and of late years his fail
ing health forced him to take but a
casual interest in all those matters in
which for many years he had been
priminently Unidentified throughout the
county.
He is survived by his wife and by
three children, who are Mrs. Izzora
Webster of st. Paul, Floyd w. May
nard who is Register of Deeds of Todd
county, and Forest C. Maynard of this
community.
The death Of H. C. Maynard removes
one Of the county's leading and promi-
nent men. He had been resident
here for So years, leaving the county
from time to time as his business or
professional work called him, but al
ways remaining a Todd county citizen
