KILLING DOGS HIS
WORST JOB, SAYS
town MARSHAL
Some of Them Haunt Him, De-
clares Wizard With a Rec
ord of 43 CANNES
This Season

Being a town marshal is not all
skittles and beer. according to Harry
Wizard who takes his job seriously
and has lone more to earn his salary
than any officer in that capacity
Cody has ever had on its payroll.
Acting Is arbitrator in family
%wrangles is bad enough but the job.
SO the town marshal states, which
gets his nanny" is the annual dog
killing.
"Forty-three dogs is my record this
season, said the cop lugubriously,"
"and I'd just about as soon kill SO
many people-if l could do my own
picking.
Some folks have a notion that I
enjoy killing dogs-that l go prowl-
ing aroun hunting for dogs to kill
for the fun l get out of it. Say, some
of them dogs I've killed haunt me.
Take a nice, friendly dog that jumps
all over you and laughs because he's
sc glad to see you, a dog that I've had
in the pound and fed a couple Of
days while l was trying to find a
home for hint needs all the sand
l got to coax him in the barn and
shoot him.
Looks like some dogs had a bunch,
too, what was going to happen to 'em
for they hang back and whine and
beg moi to be taken in the barn where
| do the killing. =
Lots of dogs need shooting, sheep
killing dogs and dogs that nip at
horses and bark in front of automo-
b.'es and wont learn nothin'. out
there's a good many of them that are
like kids-,all they Iced is a chance
aud a little training to amount to
something.
II get homes for a good many OF
them out in the country but everyone
il pretty well stocked up on dogs at
present.
There's another thing about killing
dogs hat amt pleasant-you get all
the kids down On you They hate
,op ps long as they live II you Kill
their dog. 1 have to go sneaking
around and take 'em when they are
not at home IL their folks won't pay
the tax on some little mongrel that
locks like a prize winner 10 the young
sters.
at looks t O me as II sheep-herders
and folks from the country brought
in their dogs and left them on pur-
pose. I don't know how to account
Otherwise for all the kiyis that get
here. Two years ago / killed rs n

and so when somebody says, "Oh, but
my dog never. never goes away from
home" and | say he was visiting on
some other street. | pretty near know
what I'm talking about.
Eyes, indeed, said he Chief OF
Police polishing up his star with his
coat sleeve, I'd rather arrest prohi-
bition officers every night in the year
than kill dogs"

PERFECTLY good hunting license, but
what might have been O most serious
situation was quickly solved by the
finding of his marriage certificate in
his hip pocket. Joe say it's the best
thing he ever carried on his hip.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Mathieson entertained for q few
friends at the Irma where a wedding
breakfast was served. and the fol-
lowing day departed in a cloud of
dust and a Ford for a short honey
moon in Billings, after which Mathie
son will take his bride to Valley.
Thev will make their home for the
present at the Williams Ranch.
When interviewed just previous to
starting on his wedding journey, Joe
said that the only incident he could
see that might be termed as marring
the happiness of an otherwise per-
feet day, was the fact that he had to
pay ten dollars to the Methodist
preacher in order to be married, all
the other local sky pilots being out
of town.
"Injun Joe" and his wife are very
well known in this locality, the form
err having wrangled dudes at Valley
and vicinity for several seasons, and
the latter having lived here with her
parents since their arrival in Cody

for continued happiness and prosperi'

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. g.
President Harding had another
restful night and continued to
make marked improvement today
on his road to recovery, it was
announced at s o'clock this morn
ing by DR.. Charles E. Sawyer.
The President awoke early this
morning after a refreshing sleep
without any traces of fever what
ever. His temperature at 8
o'clock was 98.6, his respiration
80 and his pulse 10, reflectinx
improvement on all points over
the previous medical bulletin is
sued late yesterday.
Temperature Was High.
The Presidents temperature is
down to normal. It has been the
pulse and respiration that have been
giving the doctors considerable con-
Germ, as both nave been abnormally
high.
Yesterday the Presidents pulse
varied from 116 to 100 and this
morning it dropped down to no.
The respiration varied yesterday
from SO to 40, and this mornings ex-
animation revealed it is down to So.
Both pulse and respiration are
still too high, the physicians pointed
out, but they feel, nevertheless, that
satisfactory progress is being made,
and they apparently are confident
that the progress already attained
will be maintained during the day.
Morning Consultation.
After the preliminary examination
this morning by Drs. Boone and
Sawyer, the medical staff gathered
for the usual morning consultation.
after which a medical bulletin will
be issued.
There was every Indication, even
before DR.. Sawyer's announcement,
that the President had passed a rest
full night. He slept the early part
of the night, awoke early, and called
for DR.. Boone on duty in an adjoin-
ing room. Mr.. Harding chatied with
the physician and appeared to be in
excellent spirits.
AOAIS OOAAVdlCSCCIlC6s
Conditions were such early this
morning as to make the doctors
hopeful that the Executive will have
no setback, yet their every concern
through the night has been to mini
mize the possibility of. such con.
tingency.
1.-THE road to convalescence is a
long tedious one," said DIR. Sawyer.
I'VE are likely to have our ups and
downs and anything is liable to hap
pen"
DR.. Sawyer said the public should
be warned against accepting the
rapid recovery made to date as in
dicative that the President is going
to speedily become well. He terms
the progress to date as livery salts
factory" and fortunate" and his
caution today was against lover con-
fidence''
Every indication this morning
pointed to the President having
made further progress on the road
to recovery. He went to sleep
shortly before midnight and at 4,
a. M. reports from the sick room
on the eighth floor of the Palace
Hotel indicated he was still asleep.
