Everybody is coming to the SIAM
pede Ball to have the time of their
lives. The friendly atmosphere of
these old time western dances which
happen only once a year is their great
est attraction. Nobody has ever yet
gone home feeling that he wasn't as
welcome as anyone else, and we do
not mean that anyone ever shall.
Folks on far off ranches who never
find time for any other affair, harness
up the old team and come long miles
for this event. They'll be riding in
from the ranges, and we have known
them to walk, but miles and obstacles
are nothing when the Stampede Ball
is at the other end.
And don't forget that dude clothes
will be out of place and that the pro-
per costume for the Stampede Ball
of '23 is riding skirts and shirts and
boots!

crepe paper transformed the stage in

Each booth was stocked with guam

Arthur J. Nowlan
is Laid to Rest

Arthur J. Nowlan, aged 60 years,
one of the old timers of Cody, died at
6 p. m. Wednesday evening, December
18th, 1923, after an Hines extending
over a period of several months.
Arthur j. Nowlan came to Cody %
years ago and started a restaurant in
the building now occupied by the Park
Rooms. In late years he acted as
book keeper for the Cody garage, and
for the past two years was manager
Of the Cody mill, acting in that ca
pacity until stricken by his late illness.
The cause of Mr.. Nowlan's death
was dropsy and leakage of the heart.
Last February he suffered from an
attack of ptomaine poisoning from
which he never fully recovered. Tho
past sever weeks he was confined to
his room, being tenderly cared for by
Henry Goudreau, his devoted friend,
and his physician, DR.. Howe.
Ms. Nowlan leaves n mother and
five sisters, the mother, Mrs. NJ. p.

ka. Mrs. Ada Skeen, of Los Angeles,
California, Mrs. Eugene Clouser and

The funeral was held at 2 p. m.

from Basin, conducting the services.
Interment was at Riverside cemetery.

Five Girl Babies
Arrive Last Week

Through an oversight on the part
of the Enterprises usually alert
reporter, the full list of girl babies
DR.. Trueblood delivered in Cody last
week from his large and choice as
sortment, was not given. 1t should
have included the girl he brought to
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Huyck on Tues
day. This made five during the week
for which he was responsible.
1t is evident that those parents de-
string n son and heir should employ
either Or. Howe or DR.. Kinney. The
supposition is that DR.. Trueblood is
overstocked with girls and is trying
to reduce the supply before taking in
ventory the first of January.

ARRESTS
3 MEETEETSE MEN
ON LIQUOR CHARGE

John M. Baldwin, Earl Moore and
Jack Hughes of Meeteetse were ar
rested at Meeteetse on Sunday morn
ing on charges of violating the liqnor
laws.
A search of the Baldwin premises
disclosed three pints of moon and the
cabin occupied by Moore yielded two
pints of c~ontraband liquor. Hughes
was charged with transportation of
liquor.
The arrests following several COM
plants that liquor was easily
to be had in town, and Sheriff Loomis
and Deputy Sell did some quiet in
vestigating on Saturday night that
led to the arrests of Baldwin and
Moore.
Hughes did not appear in the pic
ture until Sunday morning when it is
charged that he entered the premises
occupied by Moore and attempted to
get away with the evidence against
Moore by carrying the box containing
the two pints of liquor to the river
bank where it is charged he threw the
box over the bank.
He was wearing a pair of o~vershoes
that had a hole in the heel, and his
tracks were easily followed from the
point where the cabin was entered to
where the box containing the liquor
was found intact in a snowbank.
The accused men were brought to
Cody Monday and placed in jail. AT
a preliminary hearing before Justice
Marston on Monday morning, Bad,
win and Moore plead not guilty n
were held in bonds Of $1,000 each TO
await trial ut the next term OF court
Hughes was charged with transpor-
tation by an information filed direct
in the district court and his bonds
were fixed at S 1900.
Baldwin was at one time owner oil
one of the best improved ranches on
the Greybull river, but for the past
six years has made his home in Nee
teetse since disposing Of his raneh

audience.
Miss Emma Dee Randle, an alleged
entertainer, attempted the task of

Two of the numbers given were
high class selections and were pas

What is the moving of five pool and
billiard tables, card tables and electric
light fixtures when the Stampede
folks really set out to celebrate? Poof!
Poof! Also tush! tush! and la! la!
No trouble at all to carry them across
the street for the night-they only
weigh a few ton and it will take but
a couple of days to set them up again.

others who help to keep signs of life
in the old town have offered to defray
the expenses of a strong arm squad
to move the furniture from the bar
room into S, p, Van Arsdall's ware

of the audience were bored to death
before the program was half finished,
politeness being the only thing that
kept many from leaving during the
intermission.
1t is unfortunate that folks are at
times beguiled into paying good mon
eny to witness such a commonplace
entertainment, as it was the opinion
of many that the second number of
the lyceum course was as poor an ex-
cuse for an entertainment as could be
offered.

nose into haystacks, piles and
c~ess-pools, crawling under %out-build-

personal effects, tearing up base
boards and flooring, smelling corks
and BOTTLES, spading up door yards,
shopping through attics and cellars
of private houses, and making a spec
tacle of himself generally in the hope
of getting a thimbleful of evidence
to. put somebody behind the bars?
What has he accomplished in the
time he has been in office to offset
the contempt he has inspired and the
antagonism he has aroused by his
methods?
He has made an honorable office a
by-word and his own name anathema,

%impudence to return to Cody, where
he was convicted and fined for drunk
