Last week Uncle Hank got hold Of o
mountain lion and a bright idea at the
same time.
He invited all his bosom friends to
come and have dinner with him-a
dinner which should be cooked with
his own hands-for he was a chef of
recognized ability.
No one refused. and as they sat
around Uncle Hanks near-mahogany
table they all praised the luscious,
juicy. tender steaks he placed before
them.
While they chanked their food and
polished the bones, Uncle Hank urged
more upon them. When they had fiji

NO VERDICT IN
BILLINGS CASE
Jury Hung at Six to Six---Wets
and Drys Watch Hard
Battle Over "Siick"

The jurors who had been dismissel
by Judge Metz untH he had sIied tn
seven murder cases awaiting him Il
IHot Springs County. were recaIle'
on Monday at the instance OF thu
County Commissioners and the Pur
ity League of Cody to try the liquol
cases on the docket.
The first case to be heard was thai
OF Slick" Billings charged with sci
ling liquor to one ]. H. Jones, whG
has since vanished.
The jurors were drawn mostly from
the Powell and Clarks Fork coun.
tries and each side used all their chal.
lenges in obtaining twelve men to
their satisfaction.
w. L. Simpson represented the de-
PENDANT, while Greever acted for the
State owing to the illness of j. H.
Van Horn, the prosecuting attorney.
The case which started Monday morn
ing resulted in a hung jury standing
six to six after a nights deliberation.
The case against him was dismissed
and his plea of guilty upon the other
charge of having liquor in his poses
sion accepted. He has not yet been
sentenced.
The case attracted much attention
owing to the rumored determination
of the prosecution to secure convic-
ton, and other features connected
with the case.
The lilies OF the League lent their
moral support to the Court and the
Prosecution by their presence, while
the avowedly Wet element were
equally well represented, resulting in
a crowded courtroom to hear the evil
dence.
Slick" so called because OF a head
as guiltless of hair as a billiard ball,
was charged by Sheriff Davis with
having sold a quart Of hard liquor to
the aforesaid Jones who was provided
with 500 for that purpose, arousing
him from his sleep at the Sage resi-
dence in the early morning to do bust
ness and afterward pleading guilty to
the sale in the presence of the Sheriff
and the Prosecuting Attorney.
This Billings denied, declaring that
he pleaded guilty only to having liquor
in his possession. In this he was cor
federated by his bondsman, Curt How
ell, while Attorney Van Horn and the
sheriff swore to the contrary.
Sheriff Davis testified that the tran
saction took place at FIVE o'clock in
the morning when it was daylight, and
that concealed behind a fence near
the Sage house he watched Jones go
up the stairs to Sticks room.
Roy Sage, in contradiction, testified
that there wasn't any fence from
which Davis could see the front door
of his house-that the nearest fence
was IS feet distant in the rear so that
Davis had the winged mercury trim

HOUSE BLEW DOWN WHILE MR..
And MRS. SHULTz SLUMbERED
Breeze on Spring Creek Wrecked Log
Cabin and Furniture: Family
Blue After the Blow

Mr.. and Mrs. August Shultz had q
unique experience last Saturday night
even for Wyoming, where unique en-
periences are not uncommon.
For some five years Mr.. and MrA.
Shultz occupied a log cabin on their
ranch On Spring Greek which is q
tributary of Pat O'Hara. This cabin
was 80 by IA, plastered inside and
otherwise substantial and comfortable.
A little after midnight last Satup-
day, Mrs. Shultz prodded her husband
vigorously, exclaiming:
Get awake. August! There's an
awful wind blowing"
August who slumbers soundly as a
result of a clear conscience reused
himself a moment.
go to Sleep" he said after listen
ing a little. Its only a hurricane o.
tornado"
Before Mrs. Shultz could obey her
husband, the dirt roof blew off. Loos-
ened at one end, it went sailing as
m SHES a tin pan into the air, leay-
ing Mr. and Mrs. Schultz lying in bed
looking up at the stars.
"What1l we dog" Mrs. Shultz de-
manded.
Lay STILL" said August, at amt
rainin' or snowin'."
Mr.. Shultz was just DOING of again
when the west wall blew in
"Therei" Mrs. Shultz exclaimed in
annoyance, II knew something wouBa
happen If we didn't get up"
August mumbled drowsily:
"Sleepin' in a stuffy room is bad
for you. Plenty Of fresh air and sun
shine" but he was too sleepy to m
ish the s~entense.
When the north wall went down
Mrs. Shultz insisted:
August, you've got to do some
thing!"
81 wisht you'd leave me bel" MI.
Schultz said irritably. sou know how I
feel the next day when my rest is
broken"
The other two walls went down to-
gether, taking with them the cupboard
containing the dishes and glassware,
and the top OF the Victrola which had
been left open
"What're we goin' to do now" Mrs.
Shultz persisted.
"Nothin'. replied August, "just hang
onto your side of the covers"
This seemed the only thing to do in
the circumstances as Mr.. Shultz's
trousers had long since gone, they
had heard the wagon rolling down the
road at a speed which made it impos-
sible for Mr.Shultz to overtake it, and
nearest neighbor was a mile and
a half distant.
So they spent the night until day
came concentrating their efforts
holding down the quilts and blank
cts, specializing as to the probable
of being blown out of bed.
and watching their monograph re-
cords fly off. When morning came
there was but one record remaining
md that was: THIS is THE LIFE!"
Mr.. Shultz salvaged his trousers
and located the wagon: then they
narnessed up and drove to the Reigei
ranch for breakfast.
The house was completely demoli-
shed, practically every dish and pic
lure broken and much of their ward
robe missing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shultz decided to
to Cody where the wind
blows more than a hundred miles an
hour at its strongest. They arrived
last Monday and are now living in =
house belonging to A. C. Newton, wait
ing for spring to come on Spring
Creek.
