JacksOn's Hole Is
In No Mans Land
Supreme Court Knocks Props from
Under New County Structure-A
Beautiful Mix-up is Result.

In 1921 the Wyoming legislature
passed a bill that took from Lincoln
county at that time stretching north
ward along the western boundary line
of the state to Yellowstone park, all
of hat section know as the Jackson's
Hole country, and named it Teton
county,
Last week the State Supreme court
handed down a unanimous decision
which said, in effect, hat Teton coun-
ty could not legally be created. Which
leads to the inevitable conclusion that
no such thing as Teton county ever
was created.
But, since the passage of the enabl-
ing act of 1921, residents Of Jackson's
hole have thought they lived in Te-
ton county, and have severed all the
ties which bound them to the old coun-
ty-its and its election ma
chinery-and have gone about the Gre
alton of a new political unit. And Lin
coin county has made no provision for
residents of the estranged portion, for
its officials, for its protection or for
its ~sustenance.
AS a result, Teton county" people
today face n ~bewildering situation.
They don't know who they belong to or

Widely Known Live Stock Solicitor
Passed Away Suddenly at Dem
YER Home Last Week.

O. W. Allen, for several years travel

oming for the Denver Union Stock
Yards Company, and well known to
all stock growers of This region, passed
away quite suddenly at his Denver
home on Wednesday of last w~eshuzxDI-
lowing IA stroke of apoplexy on Tuesday

Denver paper says:
ALLEN was widely known throughout
Colorado and Wyoming. He had been
engaged i'm the livestock business in

four years was travelling representa-

terested in mining at. Cripple Creek.
Colo. lie was born in Carthage, Ind,
June 30, 1850.
"He was known as one of the big
gest boosters for the Denver livestock
market. He wanted to see the market
grow and worked hard to have cattle,

stock to Denver. Aa Il result Of his
great interest and efforts, he received

StOCkmen Had In

Fall Meeting Of Association Held Last
Friday Well Attended-Inter-

About thirty members of the Sara

were present at the meeting held at
the Town Han last Friday afternoon.
A number of business matters were Civ

length.
Two addresses Of more than ordi-
nary interest were made, one by John
Hatton OF Denver, in charge OF forest
grazing In the Denver district, and the
other by Bishop N. s. Thomas of Lara
mic.
Mr.. Hatton covered the grazing ques-
ton thoroughly, making IL clear to the
stockmen that everything possible is
being done by his department TO bcne-

who belongs to them. They held Il pri-
mary election and have a complete
ticket seeking office on November Z,
but they are not right sure, today, what
offices the candidates will have, if
elected. Lincoln county proper made
no provisions for the .Jackson's Hole
country in preparing for the election,
and did not include it in the primaries.
So, if Lincoln county held no primary,
and if the primary Teton county held
was in II county that doesn't exist, why
there wasn't any primary.
It's very simple. There can't be any
election where there isn't my county.
Or, to put it clearly, if Teton county
was u county, it could hold n county
election, if it could hold any election.
The legislative bill which created the
new county considered only the re-
quirement of the state constitution
that IA county should have 1000 popu-
lation and n valuation of 81, 000,000
while the legislature of 1917 raised
the population required to 5000 and
the necessary valuation to $5,000,000,)
and left out of the creating act the
phrase, "All acts or parts of acts in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed"
Claiming that these facts made the
creation of the county unconstitution-
nj, dissatisfied residents of the cutoff
portion took the case to court, with the
results outlined.
1t looks as if Teton county" with
out officers or offices, with no power
to spend a revenue which it cannot
raise, will have to worry along
somehow until united again with the
county from which it sprung.-Wyom-
ing State Tribune.

Authorities
Believe Girl
Was Murdered

Hoopeston, ILL.,, April 2S.-An-
nouncement today by the coroner's
physician that Miss Gertrude Hanna,
rs former school teacher whose body
was found late yesterday in the un-
occupied United Presbyterian church
parsonage here, was approaching ma
ternity, increased their conviction,
county authorities said, that she was
murdered. An analysis of the con-
tents of the young wonan's stomach
today at the University of Illinois was
expected to throw further light on the
mystery surrounding her death.
The body. lying on a concrete ledge
just inside a basement window, was
found by carpenters who had been
working for days to prepare the par
sonage for a new minister to replace
the Rev. J. P. Malon, who was called
to Chicago last December. The young
woman apparently had been dead, ac-
cording to county authorities who ex-
amfned the body, approximately four
weeks.
Her wrists gave evidence of having
been bound tightly for an extended
period, although no rope or wire was
found near the body. The body itself
was we'll preserved. and opinion that
1t had been kept on ice, or in a cold
place since death was voiced. No
marks of violence, except the imprtnts
about the wrists were found.
Miss Hanna was described by ac-
quatntanceS here as, at times, melan-
cholic and given to fits of crying. It
was said that she had but few init
mate friends and did not indulge in
social activities.
