reds, yes thousands of eager and
watching friends throughout this en-
tire section who are awaiting with
keen interest for 1.-THE outcome of the
big contest.
Enter Personal Pride
A striking feature of the past week
is the personal pride that is becoming
so noticeable. Some of the candidates
have voiced their determination to
win at all hazards. One declared that
to accept defeat would be an everlast-
ing humiliation. Another said that
it was due the friends, who have
helped so loyolly up to this point, to
put forth every effort and to draw
on every reserve to the extent that
when the final reckoning arrives that
everything will have been done and
nothing left undone to better the
chances of victory.
So, on abasis of personal honor,
the battle is being waged zestfully.
Shedding lustre on this inspiring sight
is the "do or die" spirit that is mani
Testing itself. This mighty factor is
the bulwark behind each candidate.
In short each neighborhood and COM
munity is solidly behind its f~avorite,
and no "set" or "crowd" who values
its reputation for doing things is go
ing to let another bunch ride away in
the prize car when n little concerted
effort will "bring the bacon home"
For this reason and for the reason
that the difference between the grand
capital prise and the secondary a
wards is a matter of nearly n thousand
dollars, you may expecvt to see a des-
perate struggle on all sides before the
prize automobile is finally awarded.
Big Votes Near Finish
With the closing Of the Contest De-
partment this Saturday, will be the
last chance to turn in subscriptions
and secure the big votes. After this
Saturday night all subscriptions to-
gether with the cash to cover will be
deposited by the candidates them
selves in n sealed ballot box located
at The Shoshone National Bank.
Particulars of the final count will
appear in next issuc-watch for It.

"UNDERSHERRIF SHOOTS
CASPER WOMAN FOR RE-
FUSlNG TO Dim LIGHTS

CASPER, Wyo., June 3O.-Mrs. j.
d. Newcomb, AZ, wife of the propr1e-
tor of the North Center hotel, lies in
a hospital in a critical condition from
wounds received Friday night when
a bullet, fired at the ground by Under
sheriff f. j. Cantlin, to intimidate
the driver of an automobile who re-
fused to dim her lights, struck her
below the right shoulder, shattered
two ribs and lodged in the abdomen.
Little hope is held for her recovery.
The car in which Mrs. Newcomb
was riding was driven by her daugh-
ter. Miss Helen Newcomb, and accord
ing TO Undersheriff Cantlin, the lat
ter had refused repeatedly to dim her
lights. When other means failed, he
declares, he fired two shots at the
ground and one is believed to have
ricocheted from a rock, DETECTING to-
ward the automobile.
The version of the shooting Us
given by Miss Newcomb is to the eff
feet that Cantlin did not tell her he
was an officer of the law and that
he used profanity in addressing her
The Undersheriff also refused to taxi
her mother to the hospital she de-
clared.

Hurricane Queen"
Walks To Stampede

Miss Olwen Davies Of Detroit,
Michigan who has undertaken to hike
through every state in the Union, ar
rived in Cody on Saturday and will
stay over for the stampede.
Miss Davies has been given the
name of Hurricane" Queen of the
Hoboes, for the reason of the speed
that she has made on the hike that
she has undertaken across the country
The trip was undertaken for the bene-
fit of her health, and her hearty and
robust appearance are ample evidence
of the beneficial fleets of outdoor
life. =.
Miss Davies, who is a pleasant well
educated young lady, says that Wyo-
ming is one of the finest states that
she has visited, the climate, people
and the hospitality that are evidenced
on every hand, have made her n loyal
booster for the state, and her recep-
ton and treatment by the people of
Cody has been EXCEPTIONAL fine.
In order to help defrpy the expen-
ses of the trip, Miss Davies is selling
her pictures, and Mt the conclusion OF
the "hike" intends to write n story
of her experiences. Such a book
should make very interesting reading
as she says that the people Of the
different portions Of the country are
of n decidedly different temperament,
and the treatment accorded in differ
emit states varied almost as much as
the weather.

William Becker manager of the Ce-
dar Creek Mining & DEVELOPMENT
company returned yesterday from the
mine where he had been for the past
week. The company is well equipped
for development work and this will go
on steadily during the winter six men
being employed. Work for the pres
ent is being confined to the extension
of the drift east on the main tunnel
level, the purpose being to further de-
termine the extent of the ore shoot in
that direction before taking up its
deeper development The purpose is
TO run at least 100 feet following the
foot wall, and then crosscut to the
hanging. This will be followed by
sinking on the vein from the same
level. and if the results prove salts
factory, the construction of a mill will
at once be taken up.

DR.. D. f. Keys Of Mullan manager
of the Lead Blossom Mining company.
stated yesterday that the drift from
the bottom of the shaft has been ex-
tended about $50 feet and according
10 an engineers estimate. the ore ex-
posed in the tunnel 300 feet above
should be reached in about S5 feet.
The tunnel above was run many years
ago and disclosed a vein of great
strength and promise. and a winze
sunk from this tunnel about so feet
showed about rs inches of good lead
silver ore in the bottom It is this ore
that is the objective of the present
drift which is being run from the bot
tom of an incline shaft 800 feet deep.
The Lead Blossom is situated near
Wardner, on Slaughterhouse gulch.
and is believed to be an extension of
the famous Caledonia vein.

under the proposed train service, to
say nothing of the probability of 9TH

veloped in addition to those already
there Further, such a train service
would induce many men with families
to take employment in the mines who
will not do so now. owing to the I'M

The benefits that would come to

SPEECHES THE FEATURE

POSTMASTER HEARD.

The board of trade was not in q
business mood yesterday 1t was toe
soon after the holidays. Standing and
special committees evidently took q
iayoff during the past two weeks and
no reports were forthcoming. Possibly
the absence of President Hanley mad
something to do with the inaction, for
he has a faculty for stirring up dis
cussion of questions referred to com
mittees even when the committee
themselves are slow in submitting for
NAL reports But even If the meeting
was little slow from a business
standpoint, it was not without inter-
esting and even entertaining features.
Taylor Sidesteps.

the first vice president, A. J. Dunn
presided, who called on three members
who are just now in the local limelight
for remarks. The first Of these was

ever, sidestepped the speech saying
that he preferred to listen to others.
