year-old jockey, who scales at only
81 pounds, hit Alicia with the bat and
trying to get the pole on the first turn
almost pinched Kid Minor off. Pace

hind Alicia until they came into the
backstretch on the second time ar
ound.
From the on it was a battle all the
way down the stretch, with the boys
using the whip all the time.
Kid Minor, the winner, has won
nine out of his last fifteen starts, and
has never been outside the money in
that time.

JUDGE O'DONNELL TALKS
INTERESTINGLY OF FRA

Judge Thomas Edward O'Donnell
of Kansas City spoke at the Temple
theater on Sunday evening in the in
terests of the Eagles lodge. The ad-
dress was to have been given on Sat
urday evening and a full house had
assembled to greet him. A belated
train, however, made it necessary to
postpone the event until Sunday even
ing.
Judge O'Donnell is a very interest
ing and forceful talker and those who
heard him were given a real treat.
His lecture was more than g talk on
his fraternity-it was a sermon on
humanity. love and good fellowship.
He stated that the Eagles lodge was
the only organization in America
which paid a uniform benefit Of $1,000
TO the dependents of every Eagles lost
in the World war. These benefits
alone amounted to some $l.40O. 600
He favored the enactment of old-age
pension laws and many other move
ments in the interests of humanity.
Judge O'Donnell expressed himself
as charmed with Cody and its sur
rounding country. over which he was
taken by auto. He declared himself
as favorable to locating the big Ea'
gles' national home at the mouth oil
Shoshone canyon, believing 1t to be
the most desirable location for such
an institution to be found in America
The mineral springs, the heaithful
climate and the many other natural
attractions, Mr.. O'Donnell said should

RULED OUT
JAKE'S UNDERSH|RT
His Honor Held That B. v. DIS.
Of Paint Creek Bachelor
Impaired the Dignity
Of His Court

1t has long been a moot question
as to whether or not a man may be
dignifed in his underwear. Some per-
IONS have maintained that the two
were incompatible while others have
as stoutly argued that dignity is of
the soul and clothes or the lack of
them has nothing to do with It.
A ruling of the Court last week
when Judge Metz chased Jake Bevel-
heimer out to buy a shirt, should go
a long way toward ending a dispute
which has disturbed the tranquility
of many otherwise peaceful homes.
Jake, who is a bachelor living on
Paint Creek, was the defendant in a
damage suit brought by Gordon Kneis-
ley who alleged that Jake turned a
stream of water across his land to
fill his reservoir which made a deep
cut and injured his property.
Jake, naive and unworldly. as are
all Paint Creekers. appeared to de-
fend himself wearing a coat but no
shirt. The h~ypercritical declare that
the vestee of the undershirt which
Jake presented to the Court had moth
ing in common with the driven snow
and was open to criticism even had
B. v. DIS been the accepted costume
for an occasion of the kind.
Be that as 1t may, when Judge
Metz gaze fell upon Jake's undershirt
he suggested to Jake's counsel that his
clients garb was not in keeping with
the dignity OF his court
Jake was astonished when informed
of His Honor's objection to his ap-
pearance but, being in no position to
argue the matter, he scuttled out and
soon returned wearing one OF the sea.
