WHOLE COUNTRY TURNS OUT
FOR BIGGEST STAMPEDE BALL
Friendly Western Atmosphere, Cowboys, Indians,
Ranchers, from Far and Near, Good Music,
Picturesque Clothes Make 18th Annual
Event Most Successful Yet

Mrs. Lloyd Buchanan, with Charlie
Stump and Morris Starr on the trap
drums, all doing their best to keep
things going. Then, too, the commit
tee appreciates the assistance which
Mrs. r. |. Volckmer, Mrs. Will Rich
ard, Mrs. Ralph Wiltse, Mrs. Ned
Frost and Mrs. Louis Burmeister gave
so cheerfully, these ladies' making and
serving over 600 sandwiches-to say
nothing of Ned Frost, who sawed
bread for same the whole afternoon
with as many or more cups of cof-
fee. No small task.
Bill DeMaris came as a guest and
put in the entire evening as door
keeper turning an eye as stern es a

as if he had done nothing else all his

which had been caught and frozen
stiff, indicating that Johnston
had not been there. Billings became
alarmed and at once started for VAL
ley thinking that probably Johnston
had been taken ill and was unable to
return to camp, and was surprised to
learn that he had not reported at Val
ley or his fathers home.
Mr.. Johnston, his father, stated
that his son was considered one of the
best mountain men on the Southfork
and knew what to do and how to ham
die himself in case of accident, unless
it was of a serious nature.
A great deal of mystery surrounds
the disappearance of Johnston, as he
was familiar with every foot of the
country in which he was trapping and
which is not considered dangerous as
it contains but one canyon where he
could have slipped off.
Many theories are advanced to ac-
count for his disappearance, among
them the possibility that a snow-slide
may have caught him or that he was
seized with snowblindness and in
cropping his way about lost his foot

SIDELICHTS ON The
STAMPEDE BALL

A ~cowpuncher said he rode down
four horses getting to the Stampede
Ball.
Basin, Greybull, Lowell, the Ger
mania bench, Powell, Thermopolis,
were all well represented on Wednes-
day evening.
Will Richard two-stepping in his
zebra chaps was a startling sight I'M
til folks got used to him.
A long butcher knife gave a western
touch to Pete Osberg's otherwise con-
ventional costume. Pete believes in
preparedness.
There is a strong suspician abroad
that Judge Metz adjourned court to
come to Cody on Wednesday evening.
The judge in his hunting clothes and
!. w. ". hat was a busy and popular
citizen.
C. E. Blonde, one of the old-time
cattlemen in the Thermopolis country,
came out of the jungles at the head
of Owl creek to attend the Stampede
party, 1t is said he eats raw meat
and drinks hot blood, but he waltzes
beautifully.
, Mayor and Mrs. Powell. of Powell,
came up to show their good will to-
ward Cody.
THE road isn't long when the STAN
pede ball is at the end of it," said AL
fred HYDE Clark, who drove down
from Billings, Montana.
1t is dawning upon the community
that Mrs. Tom Ames of the South
Fork is a clever and unusual woman
who does everything well that she at
tempts. She rode in. the free-for-all
at the Stampede with the nerve and
skill of a seasoned jockey and danced
so perfectly with the Indians in hel
moccasins and Indian costume that
very few persons were aware that she
was not n of them.
In expressing their thanks for the
fore and hind quarters of elk which
Monte Jones furnished the Indians
they stated through their interpreter
Simon Bull-Tail, that it was the frs
time they have had the wrinkles oui
OF their tummies since winter started.
Dir. and Mrs. Whitlock of the Pow
ell hospital looked in on the festivitie!
during the evening.
The younger generation opened
their eyes when Mrs. Pete Bloom anc
Ell Jernberg got into action ant
danced an old-fashioned schottische.

CROSS OF FIRE
BURNS XMAS EVE

A cross of fire which started to burn
on the bench above town about nine
o'clock and glowed against the sky
for about two hours created a mild
excitement on Christmas Eve. Wheth-
err there were masked persons present
is not known as apparently nobody
took the trouble to investigate.
This is the first sign of a Ku Klux
Khan organization in Cody, although
it has been known for many months
that an effort was being made to eff

MRS. C A DAVIS
DIES At PENRoSE

Mrs. C. A. Davis, vote of the for
mer sheriff of Park county, died at
the Davis home on a far mnear PEN
rose on December 14th, of acute APP
pendicitis. The funeral was held last
Tuesday at the Mormon church in
Penrose of which she was a member.
Beside her husband the deceased left
five children - four sons and one
daughter. The eldest is 16 and the
youngest two years of age.
Mrs. Davis, who was Sarah Cow
ley before her marriage to C. A. Da-
Wis, was born in Pennington, Utah, in
1886, and was 81 years of age.

he appeared later in the evening
brighter than a new dollar.
Andy Martin wearing his appaloosie
handkerchief attracted more than his
share of attention.
It was noted that the Rev. Carl
Brown, who has an n for good
music, was impressed by the singing
of Fights-well-known, who is reckon
ed one of the best vocalists on the
reservation.
Hon. J. d. Woodruff writes that he
was all ready to start for the STAN

in his war bag, when the arrival of

A SEEN ROM WATERMELON
%m5 "a az @nne& okha1t 55T F.

The Rev. Mr.. Ham, a Baptist di.
vine, followed the example of the
Methodist preacher in Atlanta, Ga.
in refusing Geraldine Farrar permits
sion to sing in his church. Their e a
son for doing so was because of her
previous appearance in "Zaza." To be
sure, the plot of "Zaza" was not taken
from one of the Elsie books and very
likely Miss Farrar's Interpretation of
the title role was highly realistic, but,
after all, there is nothing immoral
about Geraldine Farrar's glorious
voice and perhaps an evening at her
concert would have done a sinner as
much good as the same length of time
spent in listening to the Rev. Hams
sermons.
1t seems to us that Sergeant Lloyd
Hefling, who was arrested in San An
tonic, Texas, for operating an airplane
while intoxicated might be considered
a reckless fellow.
Gordon Smith and Martin Fisher
of Casper were arrested and fined $25
each for making wine intended for
Christmas gifts in their apartments.
Prohibition neighbors shifting at the
keyhole thought they detected an al
coholic odor and reported them. A
chemist made an analysis of the wine
and found it to be strong enough to
be classed as an intoxicant. The city
attorney made a plea for clemency,
but while the judge admitted that he
did not believe they were making it to
sell, he nevertheless fined them.
We hear much these days of the
"better element" and every once in a
while L. l.. Newton rolls his eyes and
thanks God that "the old lawless days
of the West have passed"
Of course, we try to count our mer-
cies and be grateful for what "the
better element" has done for us, but
in spite of our best efforts we find
ourselves unregenerate and unconvert-
ed, unable to be convinced that what
they have brought to the country off
sets the things they have destroyed.
