Drace soon realized that this society

the most part 1t was composed of
ladies of exquisite refinement, and men
strong in the dignity of medicine or

"You have not chosen an opportune

judge remarked to Drace. 1--WE are
forced to live under the infamy of a
carpetbag government, sir. Political

amenable to the fab laws Of the SOW

Downing thought it might be well to
divide some Of their undivided profits
with said state.
The two capitalists were busily en-
gagged in angling for the elusive trout
in South Fork, west of Cody, when
Downing decided to foreclose on them.
Upon investigation it was ascertained
that they had neglected the formality
of taking out a fishing license for Wy
oming, consequently their security
was considered ~inadeuate.
The sportsmen from the north were

otherwise. and other costs in said
case, which were at the time aforesaid
$500 (eight and no -one-hundredths
dollars.) The wanderers were also
required to purchase a nonresident

No grace was granted by hizzonor

TRYING NEW GAME
BIRDS IN MONTANA

Seven pairs of Hungarian partridg-
es, direct from ~Jugo-Slavia were liber-
ated near Red Lodge last week. AS
soon as they were released they took
wing and made a long and vigorous
fight and are now reported to be max

every indication of thriving.
Their Introduction was due to the
Rod and Gun Club of Red Lodge
which is an active organization max
ing every effort to thoroughly stock
that section with game birds and pro
tect the native birds and animals.
Next year they propose to make
war on the coyotes which have done
much damage to the game in that Sec

The Hungarian partridge has
proven highly successful where it
has been introduced in the northwest

WE ALL COME TO THE CODY STAMPEDEg
IS MESSAGE FROM THE CROW INDIANS
The Best Horses And Riders From The Reservation Will Be
Here To Compete With The White People, Accord
ing To Present Arrangements.

The Stampede Committee account
this a lucky week.
The Indians have sent word that
they are coming with their horses and
squaws and papooses and the stock
subscriptions have been liberal.
The Indians are one of the chief at
fractions to tourists and lend much
color to our celebration.
All winter two factions have been
arguing as to whether they would hold
a Fair at Pryor on the 4th of July or
come to Cody.
Our guests of the Stampede Ball
were our ardent supporters-Chief
Plenticoos, Simon Bull-Tail, Fights
Well-Known, Goes-Ahead-Pretty, Lit
tie Buffalo. Fanny Sits-Down-Spotted,
and the rest of them who look upon
Cody folk as their brothers and sis
tiers.
They have the time of their lives
in Cody and they prefer to come here
to any of the places they are invited
not even excepting Billings. The word
Cody is the open sesame to their te-
PEGS. The traveller through the reser-
walton in the Pryor noun. ain country
is welcome If hfe scys he is from
Cody.
So WI have been told that our
friends prevailed in the debate and
they sen word last Thursday through
a messenger that they would be
here.
Me come" said Plentic ,cs, laugh
ingly. me come!" said Fishts-Well.
Known, emphatically. we all comet
declared Simon Bulltail with a COM
prehensive gesture which inaus.i
this end of the reservation.
1t is said that Hardin is ola: Il i N

Indians every inducement in the. way
of beef and horses to get them there,
but according to the messenger from
Plenticoos, they will stick to Cody;
so. unless the younger ones allow
themselves to be persuaded, there will
be Indian dances, bare back relay
races, squaw ace and other Indian
events in which W. were disappointed
s~talyear.
Then the friends of the Stampede
responded generously in the way of
