Mrs. Flossie Wood To
Teach At Paint Creek

Under the efficient and progressive
direction of the School Board of Dis
trict Number 5, the Paint Creek
School has this summer undergone
some very extensive alterations and
repairs.
A special tax of $4,000 was levied
to provide funds for the improve
ments, and the school has been stand
ardized. The building proper was
painted inside and out, completely re-
decorated, running water and a lava
tory were installed and other modern
conveniences added which will add
greatly to the efficiency of the school
A swing and other amusement de-
vices we're installed in the playground
for the use of the ten or more pupils
that attend the school.
The school board, Walter L. Hoff-
man, Alvin Bosley and Edwin Man
ming have secured the services of Mrs.
Flossie Wood who directed the school
for the winter term, and they are to
be commended for the keen interest
that they are taking in school affairs.

Playtime Over For
Cody Kids; School
Opened on Monday

The ringing of the school bell on
Monday morning was a signal that
was hailed with delight by most of
the kids of school age in the town,
with possibly a few scattered ones
who were loath to their school
duties. The summons on Monday
morning were simply that the pupils
might be enrolled in the various
grades and the enrolment so far in
dicates that the attendance for the
fall term will probably slightly exceed
that of last year
The roll shows 160 pupils in the
high school and about $50 enrolled in
the grades.
The new agricultural course already
has 16 pupils enrolled, the Farm Shop
purse has an attendance of IA, and
there are ~ who have enrolled for
the normal training course.
The state of Wyoming contributes
$4,000 toward the salaries for the
teachers of the three new courses,
which is a welcome help toward fl
nancing the school payroll.
The repairs on the old school build
ing have been completed, making it
thoroughly modern and most onven
lent, and the first four grades will
be conducted in that building, thereby
eliminating the congestion in the high
school building that greatly hamper
ed the school work last year.
With the school room facilities
graetly increased and with a corps
of efficient teachers as members of
the faculty, Superintendent Hardin
declares that he anticipates a most
successful school year.

WAS THE FOOL KILLER
when RED BECAME A %HERO?"
NEW YORK HUMANE SOCIETY ARRESTS AUSTIN WHO

FOOT JUMP AND SWIM RIVER

Red Mcdonald, known to hundreds
of Cheyenne Frontier Days followers
as n of the regular performers at
the celebration, is made the hero in
a daring fight staged in the Harlem
river in New York City when he tried
to prevent his horse from drowning
after, at the risk of his own life, q
t%en-foot plunge into the water.
A story published by a New York
paper says:
Red was riding for a $500 prize
offered by Tex Austin, who is said
to have staged the exhibition as a pre-
lude to the rodeo. He came within
a scant six inches of having his skull
cracked instead and took the gamble
to a " his horse from drowning. But
Mcdonald escaped unscathed and

Horse Wouldn't Jump
With 30 or 40 life savers on hand
and a dozen cowboys lined up to take
the leap and the 125-yard swim to the
other shore things looked simple
enough.
Somebody fired a shot. Twelve
cowboys dashed to the rivers edge,
where the piles made a straight drop
of ten feet from shore. Only one
horse, Houdini, with yellow shirted
Tony Pakano in his saddle, went over.
Houdini and Tony were swallowed up
in foam. Horse and mar came up and
struck out for the other side.
The other horses wouldn't jump and
finally Red Mcdonald tore his shirt
off over his head and tucked it

bureau itself, which usually watches
the shifts of the season, and the vag-
aries of the thermometer, with blase
unconcern. Now the prophets and
seers are on the problem.
Being a scientific organization, the
bureau proceeds carefully and guard
edly. AS yet, it has reached no con-
illusions. 1t is now investigating this
question: HAS the sun gone on a
striker"
1t is rue hat the intensity of the
suns rays has diminished within the
last few months, as was discovered a
few months ago by DR.. C. Abbott of
the Smithsonian Institution, who fig
ured the loss of heat at three or four
per cent.
Whether this is due to an actual de-
crease in the intensity of the SUMS
rays, or whether it is the result of a
greater absorption of the SUMS heat
by the atmosphere of the earth is still
undetermined and the bureau experts
are trying to learn.
DIR. Abbott has gone to the huge OBJ
servatory at Mount Wilson, Calf,
where it is hoped that he will settle
the question and explain a few things
when he comes down.
Herbert J. Browne, a local meteor
ologist, who has watched the stunts

Holmes because of their alleged ac-

be restored to good standing when
the club gets home next week.
Bush rather expected to draw some
punishment, but the suspension OF
Ruel was quito surprising. Muddy
has the reputation among ball play
ers of being a man of impeccable
character and has not been known to
use language questionable in any
way. Holmes declared yesterday,
though. that Ruel's remarks to him
were the worst he had heard in base
ball. 1t is thought that Holmes at
tributed to Ruel the loose talk of
some one of the others in the crowd
of Nationals directing remarks to the
umpire.
Ruel has been in the American
League more than six years, and this
is his first suspension. He was with
the Browns, Yankees and Red SoX,
clubs noted for scrappiness. before
joining the Nationals, yet had no diff
ficulty of any kind that would war
rant a lay-off.
