what is a government and civili-

that if body polite will but

their sides touch. They are never al
lowed to become scattered as it would
mean the loss of many head from
the ever present hyenas and other

As evening approaches the stock is
driven into the enclosure, and the

The stock is usually in very good

feed. They range in average size
about the same as a jersey COW.
The Nasal brand all of their stock
with the most unusual designs, what
ever their fancy dictates. The brand
ing is done with red-hot wires of
heavy gauge, while the animal is still
very young.
Some of the brands resemble the
stripes on a zebra, again one will be

two or more lines are run completely

stock however and should one of the

Sharkey, the famous bucking bull

Ed. Isham Passes Away
After Long Suffering

Word was received in Cody on
Monday of the death of Ed Isham,
who has been suffering for several
months past with cancer. Several
months ago Mr.. Isham went to Mayo
Brothers at Rochester, Mimi, seek
ing relief from his affliction, but was
in such a condition that the Mayo
clinic was unable to offer any assis-
lance or hope for his recovery, and
since that time he has been at Their
mopolis where he passed away.
Ed Isham was one of the old timers
and pioneers of this section, locating
here in 1900, and having conducted
farming operations in this vicinity
for many years, and was for some
years manager Of the T e Ranch for
Colonel Cody. He enjoyed the ac-
q~uaintance and friendship of nearly
everyone in the country who will
u his passing, and who extend
their deep sympathy to the relatives
of the deceased.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Betty Isham, two bro
theirs, Joseph and Percy, and two sis
tiers, Mrs. Jimmy Allen of Thermo-
polls and Mrs. George Winchester.
Interment was at Thermopolis on
last Wednesday afternoon.

that Billings is the only logical place
to hold world championship contests

ASKED ABOUT BUFFAL0B|
IN JUNGLES OF EAST AFRICA
Will Richard Is Convinced 1t Pays To Advertise
Hot Blood And Milk Favorite Beverage of
Nasal Savages-Throw Their
Dead To Hyenas

Will Richard, naturalist and hunter
of Cody, who recently returned from
a successful big game hunt in British
East Africa, was more than surprised
when one of the Nasal niggers in the
jungles of East Africa, asked if Buff
falo Bill was still alive.
Mr.. Richard says that the Niger
little less than a savage of the most
primitive type, asked him through the
aid of the interpreter, if "the mar
with long hair from across the big
pond or lake, who rode and shot from
a horse, was still alive"
Such is the far reaching effect Of
publicity and advertising that Cody's
noted townsman was known sven to
the natives of Darkest Africa.
The habits and customs of the
Nasal are weird and almost beyond
belief, says Mr.. Richard.
These natives, who are of a fairly
high class as compared to other
native tribes of Africa, depend almost
entirely upon their cattle, sheep,
goats and burros for their liv;hood.
They have no money or other form
of exchange, and barter stock for any
article which they wish to possess.
Their wealth is reckoned by the
number of head of stock they own,
although they seldom if ever cash in
on their stock or the hides that they
take from the animals that are killed
or die.
The Nasal are a semi-nomadic t,ibe
who live in a sort of settlement called
a "minyetta," which is simply a rude
barracade or corral built of thorn
brush to a height of six or seven feet,
used a. a protection for their cattle
against the prowling hyenas ard the
lions.
This corral is built in 4 circular
form, large enough to hold the stock
which the tribe owns and, inside this
corral, are built the huts or houses
in which they live, three or four
families to a hut.
The hut is constructed Of light
poles and brush, woven together and
tied with rawhide thongs and coarse
grasses, and the skeleton structure is
then plastered by hand with the mud
and from the corral. The
rainfall is abundant so there is no
lack of mud for daubirg ur plastering
purposes. In size the huts vary from
8 to IL feet in diameter. and are about
five feet high. The natives can
scarcely stand upright in one of these
huts, as their average height is, when

to DeMaris Springs where the party
were the guests of the DeMaris
opriHBs company. many VI tHe
Eagles awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to take n dip in the plunge
and to enjoy the most famous springs
in the world.
The proposed site for the Eagles
Sanitarium was also poin'ed out to
the visitors, and 1t was the freely ex-
pressed opinion of many of the party
that both the springs and the pro-
posed site were ideal for the purpose
and could not be improved upon.
After the party had finished din
ner Mt the Burlington Cafe they were
entertained with a broncho busting
exhibition. and Jimmy Turf rode three
outlaws in his usual finished manner
and was roundly ~applauded for his
great riding.

CAREY PLEADS NOT
GUILTY TO CHARGE
OF HAVING LIQUOR
is HELD FOR TRIAL AT
NEXT TERM or COURT
PLACED UNDER $1,000
BOND BY JUDGE
MARSTON

The preliminary hearing of A. E.
Carey, charged with transporting,
possessing and selling Intoxicating
liquor, was held before Justice of the
Peace C. A. Marston on Tuesday aft
ernoon, September 4th, 1928, at the
court house.
Carey was represented by Attorney
E. H. Ellis, of Greybull, who stated
that his client waived examination
and pleaded not guilty of the charge.
Attorney Ellis next made a motion
that the action be dismissed for the
reason that the search warrant was
insufficient, as it did not describe the
"a to be searched, and that the war
rant was served in the night time
which was contrary to law. The mo-
ton was overruled.
The state called upon three Witness
es to testify. The defense did not of
fer the testimony of any witnesses.
The witnesses for the state were Sher-
iff w. H.. Loomis, Violet McClemant
and ]. S. McGonagle.
Sheriff Loomis testified that Carey
had registered at the Irma hotel under
the name of Montgomery, and that
the Nash car in question wal bearing
a license number from a S~tudebaker
car. Witness stated that he had found
a liquor cache of about forty gallons
located on a creek near the Iron
Spring, consisting of a key and a cop
per tank. The copper tank fit in q
trunk on the back of the Nash car.
he appointed two deputies to watch
the cache and saw a Nash car in front
of the Irma hotel early in the evening
of June 25th.
After hearing of the shooting at the
cache, Sheriff Loomis stated that he
secured a car and started in pursuit
of the Nash car, following it to Grey
bull where it was overtaken.
On cross-eXamination oheriffLoom =
is stated that he did not see the de-
PENDANT at the place of the cache, and
thai the key and tank bore no name.
He said that he searched the car at
the Park garage and found q few
drops of liquor in a hose.
Violet McClemant stated that she
met Carey at the Irma hotel on June
% and saw him later in Greybull at
a dance hall.
j. S. McGonagle stated that he was
deputized on June 25th to watch the
liquor cache near the Iron springs.
He watched the cache for about two
and one-half to three hours. He saw
two men in a Nash car on the road
near the cache. He saw the car after
the shooting at the springs and stated
that it was the same car which was
shot at. He came to Cody as soon as
possible after the shooting and noti-
fled the sheriff. Later he went back
to the cache and helped bring it in.
He admitted doing some shooting at
the spring, but could not identify
Carey as the man in the car.
Attorney Ellis next asked that the
defendant be discharged from custody
as the state had failed to connect
Carey with the case. The motion was
o~ver-ruled, and Carey was held for
trial at the next term of the District
court under bonds of $1,000, which
were promptly furnished.
