BIG BULL MOOSE BOSS
OF NORTHFORk ROAD
SHEEP AND ELK TAME AS
CATTLE-LATTER NOW
DAD SPENCER'S AL
FALFA HAY

The boss of the Northfok road
above Wapiti these days, IS a big bull
moose who looks upon it as his pri-
vate road and all motorists and horse
hackers as trespassers. He resents
their use of it and tells them about
it whenever he catches them it it.
A road crew went up the other day
and when the moose saw them COM
ing he stood in the middle of the road
to meet them head-on, paving and
believing. They decided not to dis
rute his right of way, but gave him
all the road with a considerable
amount extra.
The next argument he had was with
a foreigner on foot who disputed the
right of way with him. When the
moose paved and beloved, and shook
his horns at him, the foreigner pulled
a gun and was about to shoot when
someone else happened along and got
it through the foreigners noodle that
shooting a moose was serious business
and he would better hunt a place of
safety than all the trouble he would
let himself in for if he killed him.
Hundreds of elk and some sheep
may be seer every day along the high
way and they have become so tame
through not being molested that they
take no more notice of the passing
cars than so many cattle.
The war between l, C. Spencer and
the elk over the hay at the old ranger
station above Wapiti seem about to
be decided in the l%atter's favor. They
not ONLY ate up his alfalfa hay last
winter but now they are keeping it
moved for him, and it looks as if they
were going to ave him the trouble
IF pptting up any this season.

LOTS OF FOLKS
ON The WARPATH
LAST THURSDAY
BUSY DAY TELLING JUDGE
HOW 1T HAPPENED AND
GETTING

Taking it all in all, there were few
dull moments last Thursday. Every
body seemed to be going to court, or
coming from court, or hunting bonds
men.
First, James Winsor appeared to
tell how he came to lead James Turf
around by the face recently. A short
and simple story. Mr.. Winsor, riding
leisurely down the road from his
ranch, was astonished to find it neat
ly fenced off with barb wire. Hover
ing in the vicinity was Mr.. Turf, who
told him jocularly to ride around it,
Then Mr.. Winsor dismounted and
took Mr.. Turf by the face, led him
to the fence and made him take it
down. This accomplished, they both
rode to town where Mr. Turf had Mr..
Winsor arrested for committing as
sault upon his person.
They were both placed under peace
bonds so it will cost them $500 apiece
to whip each other.
Then, George Coleman arrived
from the ranch on Rattlesnake Noun
tain, under the escort of the deputy
sheriff from Powell, to tell the Justice
of the Peace how he happened to ride
an ancient pinto belonging to "Hor-
sey" Richardson when passing
through the Powell country recently.
George explained that while bring
ing bucking horses from Warren for
the Stampede, his saddle horse got
away and he found himself afoot one
morning. He saw a pinto that he
could catch so he put his saddle on it
and rounded up the buckers. He
caught one out of the bunch, turned
the pinto loose and came into Cody
on the broncho. His Honor, Judge
Marston, ordered him to pay $1,000
for the use of the pinto and $27.0C
mileage to the deputy sheriff.
Mrs. Katie Primm was the next 10
have the Courts attention. Mrs
Primm was charged with possessing
and selling liquor in Nov, 1921. She
was placed under $500 bond, which
she furnished. Mrs. Primm who hac
been arrested the day before upon the
charge Of possessing liquor had beer
placed under a $1,000 bond which she
also had furnished 1t has been sug
gested that maybe somebody want!
to see how much cash Mrs. Primn
has, anyhow.

WHAT IS A CLUBl

A "club" in The Cody Enter
prise Contest is any group of
subscriptions totaling 500.
For instance: Ten yearly sub
scriptions to The Cody Enter
prise, at the rate of 81 per year
would constitute a "club" of $50
on which $4,000 EXTRA votes
would be given in addition to
the regular number allowed on
each subscription. Such a COM
bination would mean $4,000
votes altogether.
Two five-year subscriptions
to The Enterprise, amounting to
an even 500, would also equal
a "club". And, as $4,000 regul-
ar votes are allowed on each
such subscription, the total mum
Der of votes earned on this COM
bination would be 100000
votes.
Those who adopt cone club
a dya" as their slogan and
strive to attain this goal every
day for the remaining thirty
working days of the contest will
undoubtedly be returned win
ner of one of the biggest prizes.

Sheriff w. II. Loomis returned to
Cody on Monday from a successful
bear hunt in the Sunlight country.
Mr.. LOOMS was fortunate in securing
n fine specimen. He was accompani-

BUTCH" CASSIDY OUTLAW,

Hole-In- The-Wall Gang Robbed Whole Town
Former Cody Engineer Back From Argen-
tine Has Had Interesting Experience

Butch" Cassidy and the other
members of the Hole-in-the-Wall
gang who went with him to South
America, robbed an entire town N
Patagonia, were followed by a troop
of cavalry, overtaken and wiped out
to the last man..
This is the authentic story of the
finish of the notorious outlaw who
was one of the leaders of the gang
which had its stronghold in an mac
cessible retreat in the Ten Sleep
country when Wyoming vas wild and
woolly.
w. l.. McCarty, a civil engineer,
who has just come from the Argen-
tine, says that Butch" Cassidy and
his outlaws ranged in the Argentine
for about five years after they left
Wyoming. There they robbed banks
and ranches, stole cattle and COM
mitted other depredations, until in
Patagonia they robbed an entire town,
killed several people, loaded tht mer-
chandise and valuables found in the
stores into wagons and started off
across the country with their booty.
They were pursued by a troop of
cavalry and, after a running fight
which lasted for several miles, were
finally all killed, thus ending a chorn-
icle of outlawry unparalleled in Ar
gentine history.
Mr.. McCarty who has had a most
interesting career in picturesque and
adventurous countries since leaving
this section some 10 years ago, has
returned with his wife and two child

O'Hara country from Montana with

his brother, r. G. Hopkins.

Don't Get Discouraged

Don't become discouraged because
you are not at the head of the list in
this weeks vote count. The contest
is now in its infancy, and there is not
a single candidate listed among those
in the race who, if the proper interest
and effort were put into the matter,
could not secure enough votes by this
time next week to be listed among the
leaders.
Time Is Limited; Get Busy
Now is the time for those who are
competing in the race to make the
"dust fly" Only two more weeks
remain after this Saturday night dur
ing which to secure the MAXIMUM
number of votes on subscriptions; two
more weeks to WIN or LOSE, for
that is exactly what il means. After
June 90 there is a material decrease
in the schedule of votes; and, after
July z there is still a further decline
in the scale of votes-in fact, it is al
most cut in half.
Our best advise to those who wish
to win is to hurry every available sub
scription to the campaign department
now while the big votes are in effect
Not to do so is simply throwing gol-
den chances away-chances that may
bring you the Dodge or n Of the
other attractive prizes.
No Cutters Here

All but buried under an avalanche

and fairly deaftned by the bowls of
protest from their leaders at Albany
recently, Governor Albert E. Smith
of New York, last Saturday adden
new lustre to the proud name of
Smith and showed that all men hold
ing public office have not turned
jelly-fish, by signing the legislative
bill wiping the Mullen-Gage state pro
hiibtion enforcement act off the stat
ute books. The Governors action is
considered the most momentous af-
fecting prohibition since the adoption
of the Volstead act. 1t puts the en-
forcement of the prohibition law
largely up to the government and
throws prosecutions for it's violation
in the federal courts.
Wisconsin, too, has had her fill of
trying to enforce fanatical prohibit
ton laws judging from the fact that
there is now a measure up before the
legislature which is a duplicate of the
law just signed by Governor Smith.
The Tucker bill to repeal the Wis
consin State prohibition enforcement
law was taken up by the Legislative
body and made a special order of bust
ness last Tuesday.
A grand jury down in Georgia
has recommended a repeal of the
state prohibition law, or some modi-
