SHORTY KELLYS
GUN STOPS DRIVER
Runs Big Motor Into Bunch OF
Horses In Canyon-Native
Gets Hard Boiled.

shorty" Kelly was placed under
peace bonds last week for pulling a
gun on Virgil Hayes, while the latter
was driving one Of the yellow buses
through the canyon
Shorty" Kelly was driving a bunch
of horses down from the North Fork
and was overtaken in the canyon by
Hayes on his bus. There was no
room to TURF the horses out and Shor-
ty motioned him to stop. Hayes kept
coming and ran his bus into the mid
die of them whereupon Shorty pulled
his gun and Hayes concluded to stop.
After the horses had been driven
aside so that the bus could pass Hayes
came on to the hotel with his passen-
gers and a warrant was sworn out for
Shorty by Hayes and Judge Marston
placed him under $500 bonds to keep
the peace.
The only expressions of regret
heard in connection with the matter
is that he did o pull the driver from
the seat and hammer his head awhile
with the butt of his six-shooter.
The same thing happened to Shorty
in the canyon last year when a yellow
bus driver pushed one of his pack hor-
ses over the bank losing its load Of
provisions and Gripping another horse
by running into it so that the animal
was unfit for use and had to be turned
out all summer.
Shorty had no reason to believe that
the same thing was not about to hap
pen again. Furthermore, he was quite
within his rights in keeping the road
as the law is very clear and specific
on this point and stock has right-of-
way in close quarters, the driver of a
machine being not only required to
halt but to stop his engine.
The incident only serves to ccrrob-
crate the stories told daily by motor
lists of the treatment received from the
drivers Of these yellow buses when
they pass on the narrow roads be-
tween Cody and the Park. The worst
offenders, it is said, are the Smart
Alecs who belong in Cody rather than
the outside drivers.

and money out Of their own pockets to

From now on there will be a tend

MERRIAM RETURNS TO TOPEKA.
Was Delegate to National Agricultural
Conference in Washington.

The solution of the difficulties of
the farmers of the United States is not
in loaning money to European coun-
tries, but in establishing farm credits
in this country, Carol B. Merriam.
of the Central Trust company, dele
gate from Topeka to the national ag-
ricultural conference at Washington,
declares. Merriam has just returned
from Washington.
He asserts that financial experts
sent to Europe to investigate the
financial conditions there report that
the loaning of large sums of American
money to those counties would result
in the money being placed in the ma
tional treasures. and that European
buying of American goods would not
be stimulated thereby.
Merriam reports the formulation of
a plan for the insurance by the gov
eminent, of crops, which he believes
will do much to stabilize the farming
industry, and protect the farmers
from loss.
Merriam returned most optimistic
over the results which he believes will
be attained by the conference. in solv-
ing the difficulties of the American
agriculturists.

TO CUT FARES TOO
Clyde Reed Heads State Bodies
at l. C. C. Hearing.
His Victory on Grain Rates
Considered Entering Wedge.

Washington. Jan. 3O.-The first
drive at existing passenger rates will
be made when a committee of state
utility commissioners. headed by Judge
Clyde NJ. Reed of Kansas, will appear
Fbefore the interstate commerce com
rrission this week to present the pub
lies side in the rate hearing that is on.
Until now only freight rates have
been attacked, but the state commits
sions will urge that if present passen-
ger fares were reduced somewhat
travel would pick up and the roads
would benefit financially.
Judge Reed has been in Washington
all last week preparing the public's
side of in the big rate hearing. He
desired to go to Topeka for the Kan
sas Day, dinner, but felt it his duty
to stick to the job in his effort for
lower rates for Kansas. The big gen.
eral hearing on all railroad rates now
is on. The railroads and shippers
have been heard. Early this week Sec
rotary Hoover, chambers of commerce
and such organizations, will present
their testimony on the situation. The
last of the week will be given over to
the state commissions to present a
public viewpoint on the present rate
situation.
The great stress of course, is being
than see the record closed against any
passenger reductions for a long time
to come, Judge Reed has decided to
inject that phase into the hearing
along with his freight rate contentious.
The case to be made by the state com
missioners, of which Judge Reed is
the leader, will be along two lines:
l. That the railroads were better off
during the past year. despite all their hard
luck pleas than any other business and
came out of the year better and should
stand their share in the burden of della
ton earnings.
> That when the present economies and
wage reductions and lower fuel costs are
reflected into next year, the railroads can
afford to stand immediate reduction on
basic commodities in addition to the r2duc-
lions already granted.
1t is recognized generally here that
the grain rate case brought by Judge
Reed in behalf of the state of Kansas
was the opening wedge into lower
freight reductions. Consequently he
was selected along with commissioners
from Minnesota and Iowa to prepare
the case for the states in this present
drive for future rate reductions. For
more than a week, they have been as
sembling their data and will close the
lbig rate hearing with their presen-
ltauon with the public's side of the
case as distinguished from the rail-
roads and shippers.
