himself a nice rattlesnake out in the
hills last week and took it home to

was erected at Broadway and l6sth

POWER FOR BASIN
FROM CODY DAM

Basin.-The city council is now
working on a plan by which they hope
to be able to get electrical power over
from the government plant at the
Cody dam.
Mayor West and the council have
had this plan under consideration for
some time past, but at one time It
looked as il it would be impossible t
get results.
During the past two weeks, how
ever. developments have been such as
to give renewed hope that the plan
will go through and that Basin will
soon be able to provide power at such
a profit that better rates can be an
nounced after while.
The plan is for a sixty-six mile
service line to be built straight across
from Cody to Greybull, with an extern
sion to Basin. The power at GreybulI
is TO be used by the Midwest plant.
which is to join with the town Of Ba-
sin in paying for the line. Basins
share Of the cost of this line will be
about 100000. The line when con-
structed will belong to the govern
ment, and Basin will be permitted to
retain half Of each months bill for
power until the $4,000 is paid back.

Elect, Starts Quo warranto
Proceedings Against C. e.
Hayden and AIgott Johnson

H. w. Thurston, who was elected
to the city council with the late w.
T. Hogg but whose election was not
acknowledged by the town council
who acted as canvassing board at the
election, has commenced quo war
ranto proceedings against C. Z. Hay
den and Algott johnson.
The petition in the action was duly
filed Tuesday afternoon after Messrs.
johnson and Hayden had appeared
at the meeting of the council on Mon
day night and had proceeded to take
part in the meeting.
Mr.. Thurston is represented by w.
l.. Simpson who declares hat under
chapter 129 of the session laws Of
1921 the term of Office OF the two
councilmen mentioned expired by op-
Grafton OF law.
Mr.. Simpson asserts that Mr..
Thurston's election to the Office was
in every way regular and valid, and
that Messrs. Hayden and Johnson are
usurping and unlawfully intruding in
to the Office of town councilmen in
the Town Of Cody.
The matter will come before Judge
Metz at the earliest opportunity.
1t was clearly the wish OF the peo-
pie that Messrs. Hayden and Johnson
should retire and give place to Messrs.
Hogg and Thurston SO their attitude
is inexplicable to those who elected
the new councilmen in the last munic-
ipal election.

AS he logged along, Mr.. Ross

smiling, happy faces. In fact, the
occupants OF every automobile he
passed doubled up and shouted as
they went by.
When he reached home and looked

their innocent merriment.
He was still wearing Mrs. Ross's
hat with its wreath OF red roses and
a generous, outstanding bow of ribbon
in the back. The effect of a large

Veteran Actress Suffers Painting Spell on Night of Premier Per-

Paris, Dec. 19..-(By Associated Press. )-Sarah Bernhard't fainting spell. which came at the close of a rehearsal yesterday afternoon, was brought about by overwork, in the opinion of her frineds. The great actress had just returned from a long and tiring tour of Italy, but notwith- standing her 7S years she plunged wholeheartedly into preparations for the presentation of Sacha Guitry's new play, ''Un Sujet de Roman" which was to have had its premiere last night.
 When M. Guitry went to Mime. Bernhardt's house last evening she burst into tears and exclaimed.
 "Oh, my poor boy, to treat you in such a way. But this is the first time that has ever happened to me-"
 One of the actress's closest friends who saw her late in the evening, re- ported her as much better.
 You sec I am quite we'll now" Mime. Bernhardt said.
 My son frowns and says 1 must take long rest, but never that. You know quite well that rest means death to me"
 All flowers from the theater were taken to the actress's home, which was locked up. The telephone was disconnected as precaution against too numerous inquiries.
