HIGH WATER LIKELY
when THAW COMES
SNOW STILL PILED HIGH IN
THE MOUNTAINS-MORE
THAN AT THIS SEASON
FOR YEARS

II has been many years since there
has been so much snow piled back in
the mountains so late in the season,
and those familiar with conditions
are of the opinion that there will be
very high water when the big thaw
comes, is the report J. N. Langworthy
Of the local forest service brings from
the North Fork where he has been
visiting the ranger stations.
Mr.. Langworthy also found that
the game which had wintered on the
lower ranges was in good condition
but that which had stayed in the
high hills we're thin and weak and
there probably had been considerable
loss among them. He saw five dead
elk and a deer on Horse Creek where
the elk are beginning to feed more
than formerly. The deer had been
recently killed by coyotes but the
elk's appearance Indicated they had
died of starvation. though there was
u possibility that old age had account
cd for some Of them.
Mr.. Langworthy is well informed
on the game situation, in which he
takes a keen interest, and he declares
, 1923-05-23

he was 10 years old. He located in
Minnesota when he arrived in this
country, soon after leaving there fol-
San Francisco where he lived for
some ten years.
He next located on the Greybull
River and in the year 1904 was mar
ried to Mrs. Martha Whitsitt. They
lived upon the ranch at Coyote Can
yon about 20 miles below M~eeteetse,
until ill health made it necessary for
Mrs. Munsterman to seek medical aid
when they left the ranch and spent
several years in various places seek
ing health.
Mrs. Munsterman died May 4th,
1918 and vas buried in the cemetery
on Meeteetse Creek.
MI. Munsterman in the years of
his residence in this community had
gained many friends and became we'll
TODD.
II was Interested in psychology,
and read and studied every work that
he could obtain upon that subject,
often reading until far into the night.
He was also a lover of nature, spend
ing much time and effort in planting
and c%ultivating trees and flowers,
stating in his last letter to Mr.. Len
ringer that the trees that he had
planted by his shop were the only
living thing that needed his attention
and presence here, and asked him to
keep them watered.
Mr.. Munsterman was al one time
Lieutenant in the Wyoming National
Guard.
He is survived by three sisters, two
of whom are living in California and
the other in Germany. The sisters
in this country have been advised of
his death and will probably reach
Cody as soon as possible.
Final arrangements for the funeral
have not been made, but the body will
be inferred in the cemetery on Nee
teetse Creek beside the body of the
wife for whom he mourned so long
and who was so essential to his hap
piness.
1t is a singular coincidence that
Mr.. Munsterman is the fourth man
who has occupied this building, which
was formerly the Exchange saloon,
who has shot himself to death. The
others were w. E. (Red) Pierce, R.
l.. Thayer and George Smith.

CONVINCE THE JUDGE
BLANCHE GOkEL IS DANGEROUS
Pugilistic Cook Goes on Rampage-Out to Whip
Editor Of The Enterprise, City
Attorney And w.. L. Simpson

The Enterprise has always contend
ed that the Workmans Compensation
act should include editors in its list
of those engaged in extra hazardous
occupations, and a series of recent
happenings in local enditorial circles
confirms it in its opinion.
A few weeks ago the Town Marshal
gave E. f. Shaw of the Herald a
black eye in one fast round in the
postoffice. The Town Marshal was
fined $3.50. Two weeks ago l.. l..
Newton finally got a kick out of life
when A. S. MacClain assisted him out
of his office. MacClain was fined
$1.0O by the police judge and $1,000
by the justice of the peace.
Then, as if this we're not enough to
prove that Cody is Il live newspaper
town and editing dangerous business,
along comes Mrs. Blanche Gokel with
threats of beating up on the editor
of the Enterprise, Caroline Lockhart,
together with the city attorney, ID. E,
HOLSTER and w. l.. Simpson-the inn
mediate cause of her wrath being a
line in the last issue of the paper to
the effect that Mrs. Gokel was a char
acter witness for her friend, Mrs,
George Gentner, at the recent term
of court.
The editor of the Enterprise enter
ed n complaint against Mrs. Gokel and
asked to have her placed under bonds
to keep the peace. Mrs. Gokel was
arrested last Saturday and the case
set for hearing on Monday morning
before Judge Marston.
All the legal talent in Cody-E. J,
Goppert, w. l.. Simpson, ID. E. Hol-
lister and Paul Greever-were presen,

Little Miss Mary Emma Schultz,

seed corn on Monday, put several
kernels in her nose and when discov-

severe pain. Most of the kernels
came out easily but one Of them was

bring the child to Doctor Trueblood
and the little n had to be given an

Our Slogan-"Everybody Wins"
One of the features of this big
prize distribution is the fact that
there will be no losers in this race, as
a cash commission of twenty per cent
Zone dollor out of every five collect
ed) will be paid all active participants
who fail to win n of the regular
awards offered, which, in itself, is an
excellent business proposition.
This is no a something for moth
ing scheme;" in fact it is no scheme
at all. Neither is it a charitable I'M
dertaking on the part of the Enter
prise. 1t is a business proposition,
pure and simple. Its object is to ad-
vertise this newspaper, to secure new
and renewal subscriptions, and, last
but not least, to afford u friends
and readers an opportunity to profit
in a big way through their spare time
during the next few weeks.
Salesmanship
The art of craftsmanship is being
expounded by the eading business
of the country today. Po-
tentially we are all star statesmen,
lacking only the opportunity to turn
this natural gift into profit. You may
have latent powers within you which,
when developed, may lead to heights
of achievement and affluence.
Without investing m cent-now
or later-The Cody Enterprise offers
energetic men and women and young
peope of this vicinity IN opportunity
to test their abilities in craftsmanship.
Experience is not necessary. All that
it requires is a little well planned and
rightly directed effort. You may
even surprise yourself, for it is ex-
ceptionally easy to sell subscriptions
to The Cody Enterprise.
Will 1t Pay1
Will it pay? This is a question that
will naturally occur to all who read

the expense of the undertaking is very
heavy, but there are dividends that
newspapers earn other than those ex-

RHODE VERNON HAS MIR.
ACULOUS ESCAPE IN SHO-
SHONE ~NYON-SKUL
is FRACTURED

Rhode Vernon had a miraculous es-
cape from instant death on Sunday
morning when he fell nearly $50 feet
down the almost perpendicular walls
of the Shoshone Canyon.
Rhode Vernon, who is employed al
the Cody Bakery, in company with
George Edwards left Cody early Sun
day morning on a fishing trip in the
Canyon, and upon arriving at a point
about a mile east of the first tunnel
at about $500 A. M, parked their car
and were starting to descend to the
river bed over the trail that leads
downward at that point.
Vernon was in the lead, and as he
jumped off the wall about three feet
high onto a flat rock that sloped to-
and falling over backward landed on
his head upon an immense rock some
twenty feet below, from where he
rolled and fell down the face of the
cliff, sustaining four or five separate
falls of from 20 to 80 feet until he
finally landed at the river bank six
feet from the water in a pile of jagg-
ed rocks and boulders.
George Edwards, who had stood
horrorstricken and watched Vernon
fall apparently to his death, hurried
down the trail to the river, expecting
to find the lifeless remains of his
friend.
Upon reaching the river, Edwards
found Vernon lying in a heap on his
face, and though Unconscious, still

herself generally; that the present
threats of assault had not been made
to her personally but had been com
municated.
w. l.. Simpson testified that Mrs.
Gokel had come to his office with the
amiable intention of assaulting ID. f.
HOLSTER, but as Mr.. HOLSTER was
absent, he, Simpson, did as well. At
ter listening to her for a time he stat
ed that he had ordered her from his
office.
Paul Greever, who represented the
defendant, declared that his clients
threats we're only talk and
she should not be placed under peace
bonds for relieving her feelings; that
she was a Woodworking woman who
attended to her own business and had
little to say to anybody, whereas the
plaintiff slung n wicked pen and other
wise took advantage of her petticoats.
Mr.. Greever then recited his personal
grievances, which, while they had
nothing to do with the case, made
good copy for the editor of the
Herald who took notes feverishly.
When he had concluded, the Judge
scratched his head with a troubled ex-
preston and expressed the opinion
that Mrs. Gokel's boasts were largely
conversation and that the plaintiff,
Caroline Lockhart, was not so much
afraid Of the defendant as she would

breathing. After making him as com
Portable as possible, Mr.. Edwards
clambered up the steep trail as rapid
ly as possible for aid and assistance.
He secured a man at the road camp
in the canyon about the time that two
cars arrived on the scene in which
were George Gollehan, Roy johnson,
Sibyl Wilson, limo Baglin, Glen Bor-
ron and William O'Neill and the re-
scue party hurried to the injured man
1t took the six men nearly thirty
minutes to get the unconcious Vernon
up to the road, he was at once
brought to Cody where Doctor True
blood made a hurried examination and
called Doctor Whitlock of Powell in
consultation which resulted in taking
Vernon to the Powell Hospital where
a thorough examination disclosed a
fractured skull, a badly lacerated face
and numerous bruises, but no broken
bones, undoubtedly due to the fact
that Vernon was rendered Unconscious
by the first fall and his body was
timber during the balance of the de-
scent to the bottom o fthe canyon,
and the fact that he escaped instant
death is a miracle.
The fracture to the skull was a
clean crack, without any SCATTERING
and it is not likely that an operation
will be necessary, although it is not
known at the present time whether
or not there is any pressure upon the
brain.
Late reports from the hospital state
that Vernon is resting as easily as
possible under the circumstances, and
that there is a very good chance for
his ultimate recovery.

HERMAN MUNSTERMAN, LONELY
. AND ILL, KILLS HIMSELF WITH
COLTS AUTOMATIC At MIDNIGHT
Methodically Spreads Soogan, Rolls Coat For Pill
low and Lies Down to Die-Leaves
Letter For Old Friend

Because he could not stand the
loneliness of his life any longer, Her
man Munsterman, slow, methodical,
going about with a pleasant smile for
the world on his face while his heart
ached within him, Tuesday at mid
night neatly spread down a soogan,
rolled his coat for a pillow, put a 45
Colts automatic behind his right ear
and unobtrusively committed suicide,
in his room in his new vulcanizing
shop on Sheridan Avenue.
Wednesday morning when ]. Len
neville, an employe, opened up the
shop at the usual hour and found his
employer was not there, he presumed
he was still sleeping.
When it grew past the hour that
he usually appeared, Lenneville ask
ed his closest friend, William Lenni-
ger, if Mr.. Munsterman had stayed
for the night at his house.
The two then opened the door and
found the body on the quilt as stated
and investigation showed that the
bullet had gone through his head,
struck a chair and buried itself in the
ceiling.
Upon a table was a note saving
that he had left a letter to William
Lenninger in his desk.
Coroner Vogel was at once summon
ed and the body removed to the un-
dertaking establishment.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Len
ninger stated that the dead man wish
ed L%enninger to be administrator of
the estate, and gave complete and de-
tailed wishes as to the disposition of
his personal effects and other proper
ty.
de asked that he be buried beside
his wife in the cemetery on Meetee-
tse Creek.
The letter explained that since the
death of his wife some five years ago
he had been very lonesome, that his
health was poor and asked that his
friends be not harsh in their judge
ment of him.
Mr.. Munsterman's business affairs
were in good shape, and he had only
recently established a vulcanizing
shop and filling station in the build
ing which he had purchased and had
equipped in an-up-to-date manner.
