LIBRARY BOARD
ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Donor Wants To Know Why
Books Of Local Writer Are
Within he'll From Patrons

Editor of the Enterprise:
I was much interested last week in
Mrs Louis Howe's letter in the En-
terprise in which she asked why Car
oline Lockhart's books we're not on
the shelves of the Public Library.
| was interested because I have pre-
sented not n but two sets of these
books to the library.
asked the secretary of the library
board why the books we're not there
and was told that the board did not
have the money to buy all the books
they would like to have and that the
gift of books we're always welcome.
l then told her that would be glad
to present a set of these books to the
library as the librarian had already
told me there was a great demand
for them.
Therefore l purchased them and
they were catalogued and placed up
on the shelves for circulation.
Some time after Miss Marjory Ross
had been appointed to the library
board, I learned that there had been
numerous insuiries for the books but
thai they could not be obtained. |
asked the present librarian about it
and she told me they were out.
Upon further inquiry she informed
ne that that was all the information
she was allowed to give out.
Then l went to the secretary and
she could tell me nothing as to what
disposition had been made of the
books but promised to let me know
when the board held its ext meeting
so that l might be present and take
the matter up at that time.
To the present l have received no
notice of a board meeting.
1 should mention that when l was
told hat people were calling for the
books and they were always out, I
bought others and gave them to the
librarian with a note to the board
asking that they be placed upon the
shelves.
It has been a year since then and
l have had no reply to my note.
The books were not returned to me
but it seems that no n has been
able to get them from the library.
Last week, however, l vas inform
ed by the librarian that the books
we're there and that l could have
them back if l wanted them.
| have not called for them, as I
wish to say to the board and to the
public hat 1 presented these books
for the benefit of the reading public
and do not want them back.
AS these books have been accepted.
and been in the possession of the H.
brary for some years. l feel that the
public is entitled to some explanation
from the board as to why they have
been withheld from the public and
o been used for the purpose for
Which they were presented.
Truly yours.

Mr.. Lieb rushed out and overlook the

fortunately there is no Foundation for

Boyd L. Tatum and James Hatten,
both of Powell, must have walked un-

or killed a spider which would ac-
count for the bad luck they had last
Saturday when transporting Ave kegs
of moonshine to Cody.
Something went wrong with their
car while bowling wee the highway
and they were forced to abandon it by
the roadside for the night, first each
ing their load under an old bridge
until they could return for it.
A farmer in the locality came down
to water his horses and espied the
BONANZA. Assuring himself that his
eyes had not deceived him, he carried
off one of the kegs for use in case

He mentioned his find to a neighbor

What is to become of the Innocent
Bystander who is being ground to a
pulp between the evil doer and the
office holder? The unfortunate law
abiding majority who are straining to
live, and to give their children a
chance to grow into good men and
women? Those who are trying to be
good American citizens, but who are
taxed to a fragile to pay for the sins
of the evil doors on one side and the
hord OF high salaried officials and
reformers on the other?
The Innocent Bystander is coming
to deem the monshiner and the pro
hibition agents on a par. and both

ais of his children. The average
moonshiner is not so bad in compari
son with the prohibition capper. In
all history. and among all people. the
capper. the spy, the Judas the stool
pigeon have been classed as the low
est and most contemplate of all ami
mails in human form. The English
language is not strong enough to ex
press ones opinion of this low-down
treacherous. measly scum; and
a law, a system. or a cause that
feels itself compelled to resort to such
measures can only meet with the con
domination of right thinking men and
women. 1t would be impossible 10
convince n one that any man who
will so belittle, and demean himself
as TO accept such a position could not

the price OF a bottle of white mule.
There is no doubt but that the me

prohibition crowd. and the example
set by them, is having a moral effeci

Such a m~alodorous mess puts law. or

desirable; but no one ever dreamed
that it was going to be carried to a
point where for one to brew beer
in his own basement, for his and his
family's private USE. was going to be
made a penitentiary offense, and that
a band of as low down sneaks as was
ever turned loose to prey on a peo-
pie was to be the result.
That very feeling of enmity, of ut
ter contempt for such rulings is felt
by nine tenths of the people is true.
And then to know that they are be-
ing taxed to maintain such an enorm-
ity is enough to drive them to hostil-
ity towards all laws and courts.
One should have expected it how
ever because the American people
r given to extremes. Laws are
passed to obtain certain results, then
they are turned o yer to a bunch of
cross-bred fanatics and forgotten by
the public until some morning they
wake up to find themselves bound
hand and foot, their safe looted, their
pockets emptied and their liberties
taken from them-all according to
law, and by a little band of hand
wringing hypocrites posing as uplitt
ers and holy guides.
Prohibition. the Mann White Slave
Law. the Sunday Observance Law
and other monstrosities all give a
legal right to prey on a community.
1t is no longer safe for a ~so-called
free American man to take a woman
friend out to dinner and pay for il

managed to get the authority to wear

The average American is not a
Stacker, kicker. or pessimist. but If
given a chance is a happy cheerful.
and law abiding person. But when
conditions are such that with hard
work. strict economy, and right liv-
ing he cannot clothe and feed his
children so that they may go to
school decently; when he is not able
to pay his obligations. and his taxes,
he knows something is wrong some
where. and he is liable to join with
others and to change from a valuable
asset to a menacing liability to his
country.

TEXAS BRONC RIDERS
STRONG FOR STAMPEDE

Lloyd Coleman, who is now in Mex
ia. Texas. but expects to return next
month, expresses himself as much
pleased at his selection as track man
ager for the Cody Stampede of 1922.
He is full Of enthusiasm and plans
and states in a recent letter that he
has spread the news among riders
who are all keen for the celebration
and assure him of their intention to
be present.
He says that the Cody Stampede

that we NEAR business in the way of
the proper enforcement of the Prohi-
bition Law
These are the facts:
Carl Thomson was arrested at the
Park in Park county. The deep
canyon" was located less than twenty
miles from Cody, and not far from
the State highway.
The "many hardships' they encoun
tered consisted of riding three miles
on horseback.
The deep fall of snow" was about
two inches.
Their wait from 'ten o'clock in the
morning until dark" was from ten
o'clock in the morning until three in
the afternoon.
Carl Thomson did not pull his gun.
Only one shot was fired and that
by the eycited Federal officer.
Thomson offered no resistance and
held up his hand when told to do so.
Their Seizure" was not transport
ed on sleds to Cody-a distance or
fifty miles"-but in Kepford's truck.

sheepowner with 10000 head OF

gagged.
Thomson is not a party of promi-
nence" and his chief claim to distinc-
ton is based on the fact that he made
the best moonshine in Park county
and in consequence his capture is
keenly regretted by a large and ap-
preciative clientele.
Everybody in this country knew
that he was making monshine in
large quantities, and just about where
his still was located, so that any cor-
re%spondence school detective who had
the patience to conceal himself and
trail Thomson could easily have effec-
ted his capture.
The story of fthe thrilling raid

ton as the statement issued recent
ly by Royal A. Haynes. United States
Prohibition Commissioner. to the eff
feet that ''the import of spirituous
liquor into the United States last
year amounted to practically nothing,

Washington, Feb. 27.-Carl Jack

Haynes a thrilling raid at the en-
trance to Yellowstone National Park.

This condition of affairs being re-

agent to that community, armed with

COYOTES WORKING
HAVOC AMONG DEER
Worst In Years, Is Reported
Government Trappers Badly
Needed Poison Suggested


The slaughter CT deer by coyotes
this winter has been appai .ng.
1t has beer years since they have
been so numerous and have wrought
such havoc among the game in this
vicinity.
Trappers state that it has been
well-nigh impossible to catch them
owing to the ease with which they
are getting food among the snow
imprisoned deer and elk in the noun
tains. They seem to have developed
an uncanny intelligence and will not
go near a trap no matter how skill
fully set.
Stories of their killings come / n
constantly from the North Fork and
Clarks Fork countries.
Three freshly killed lee were seer
not long ago along the main road to-
ward Pahaska Teepee.
One of the boys from the Nordquist
ranch went up a trail a few days ago
and was gone less than an hour. When
he returned a deer had been killed
in the trail and nearly eaten by a
pack of coyotes in that short space
of time.
Joe Lehman at the ranger station
on the North Fork has already re-
ported to the Forestry office here the
damage they are doing to the game.
They are said to be worse upon the
deer and elk this winter than the
mountain lions, which were pretty
well thinneS out by Rowley. the gov
eminent trapper who last winter
caught seven in the vicinity of wapi-

RIDICULOUS TALE Of CAPTURE OF CARL
THOMPSON SENT OUT FROM WASHINGTON
Thrilling Raid---50 Miles From Human Habitation--- Several
Shots Exchanged--Great ~Hardships Endured
BY Brave Officers"

There wa a time when the word of a Federal officer Was accept
ed without question. A federal officer was looked upon ASIA man
of veracity, integrity and COOL sound Judgement
Today he is the direct anthitesis in the mind of the public, whe-
ther he be a United States Prohibition Commissioners, a State FEEDER
al Prohibition Director, a stool-pigeon, "cock-roach," o government
1ouse."
This change may be due to the fact that a 5 an eastern prohibit
ton officer told the writer, the kind of men they wanted to enforce
the law would not accept such positions, while those they were able
to obtain yer untrustworthy and of a type that did more harm than
good to the cause they wished to further.
Be that as it may, a fair sample of the propaganda sent out from
prohibition headquarters In Washington to show the world the
achievements of the law enforcement officers, is furnished by the ac-
count of the arrest of Carl Thomson which arrived last week at the
Enterprise office.
