SEIZURE OF $1,000 CACHE
ILLEGAL, CLAIM; FILIBERTA
SUES BONDSMEN OF FORMER
SHERIFF, WALTER BARBER

The petition in the suit alleges that
the liquor in question was the legal
property of said Filiberta, acquired
by him before the prohibition law be-
came effective, and was legally held
by him, and that the officers were cx-
ceeding the provisions of the law | n
making the seizure.
The petition further alleges that
there were 116 cases of bonded whis-
key, of n reasonable value of s11 800,
but as the amount of the bond is only
$4,000 and that is the extent Of the
bonding company's responsibility, suit
is instituted TO ecove $4,000 from the
bonding company.
The liquor in the case, over the
seizure of which this suit arises, was
stored in the vaults at the court house
for some months after the Seizure and
Is said to have been destroyed by Bar
Der, acting under court order.

Darrah, Ed Hempstone, Roy Webster,
and a carload of the Stampede long

The Greybull Pool shipped some

day.
The cattlemen throughout the state
are feeling pretty well discouraged
yer the low prices and small return
upon their investment and for the
hard work attached to the business of
raising cattle.
Gordon Kneisley is among those
who are closing out their herds for
the present and it is reported that a
considerable number of others are
contemplating the anne thing.
Prestley Riddle, who shipped a few
days ago, struck a good market and
received SO ga head for his yearlings.
Among the unlucky ones was a man
who received S12 a head for his cows

EIGHT BIG GRIZZLIES
KILLED THIS SEASON

This has been a great season for
the bear hunters and proved beyond
question that this is one of the best
sections left in the country for sport
of this kind.
The news comes in from the hills
that Johnny COTS dude has killed a
monster grizzly over in the Bridger
Lake country. 1t measured nine and
one-half feet in length, II inches be-
tween the ears and made a track 10
inches long.
The first bear reported was the
funny" bear killed by Judge Metz,
who hunted with Andy Martin. 1t
was brown on top and black under
meath, a freak as to its markings.
Three bear were killed by an east
ern hunter out with Jack Camery,
who killed one, making four for the
party. They were all grizzlies, one
of them measuring eight feet.
B. C. Rumsay while hunting over
on Anderson creek, saw two big griz-
lilies, and went back to get them but
the snow was so deep he was unable
to hunt.
Clay Tyler and Glen Trueblood re-
turned last week with three more griz-
zlies-a she-bear and two two-year-
olds nearly as big as their mother
which measured eight feet.
More will be killed before the sea-
son closes and very likely there are
others which have not been reported.

RICHARDS ZEBRA
CHAPS GOING TO
STARTLE NATIVES

There is going to be a real sensa-
ton when Will Richard blossoms out
in the zebra chaps which his daughter,
Mrs. Harry Rueger, has made for him
from a skin which he got on his recent
hunt in British East Africa.
That his mount will have to be blind
folded before he can step on him is
n foregone conclusion and there is
apt to be a few run-aways when he
rides out among ZEN at the Stampede
next summer. But William should
worry about such small matters when
he is dressed up in what is undoubtedly
the only pair of zebra chaps in the
world.
They are made bat-wing style and
the striking black and white stripes
are perfectly matched on each side,
the effect being both startling and
beautiful.
This particular zebra was a stallion,
herding a bunch of 30 mares very
much in the same manner that wild
horses formerly ran on the range in
the western states. He was killed on
the Lolita plains, in the same territory
WltIt L ntOuOTt lNOOStNtll hunted
and bore on his rump the claw marks
of a lion, showing that he had been
at n time attacked by a lion and
had escaped.
The peculiar serpentine black stripes
on u white background that mark the
zebra, act as n sort of camouhage, and
upon viewing a herd of them one is
unable to distinguish n particular an
imal clearly. Nature evidently pro-
vided their odd marking as n protec-
ton.
The zebra is one of the horse fam
lily, resembling n chunky pony Of
about 750 pounds average weight, but
are seldom used by the natives as
mounts or beasts of burden. They
are too tempermental, and are not
dependable, as they are more or less
vicious and dangerous 10 handle. They
are also immune from the tetse fly,
which attacks all other animals of the
horse type.

GREyBULL POOL
REORGANIzED
Coe, Anderson, Sayles to 60 into
SheepePhelps to Keep Land
South of Greybull

Reports current for the past week
are to the effect that the GreybulI
Corporation is being recognized,
with a new policy outlined in the elm
nation of the cattle interests, and the
exclusive handling of sheep will be
the main business of the corporation
in the future.
1t is understood upon reliable au-
thority hat the Phelps interests are
retiring from active participation in
the management of the affairs of the
Pool, their sole interest being in the
leasing of several thousand acres of
decided and leased land controlled by
them to the Pool.
In the reorganization of the Grey
bull Corporation, the w. r. Coe in
t~erests, A. A. Anderson of the Palette
rancho and Henry Sayles will assume
of the Pool, with E. V. Robertson,
personal representative of Mr.. Coe,
as president
The Phelps real estate holdings ex-
tend from Carter mountain south to
Wood river and comprise some of the
best grazing areas in this section of
the state, and it is stated that the
Greybull Corporation will lease prac-
tically all this acreage lying north of
the Greybull river.
Henry Sayles, one of the directors
under the reorganization, will have
charge of all the stock upon the range,
and it is assumed that the sheep hold
ings will be increased with the elm
nation of the cattle.
During the past month the Pool has
shipped and sold several trains of cat
tie, the latest shipment being 1,40O
head of calves shipped last week.
The Phelps interests will u be-
tween 500 and 1000 head of cattle and
a band of sheep upon their range
south of the Greybull river, anu de-
vote additional efforts to the cultiva-
ton of the large acreage of the Pitch
fork ranch.

Powell Commissions in Vigorous and Common.
Sense Letter to Public Exposes Half Truths
Told to Discredit Present Board

l stated in my las. letter that the
general fund of the county suffered
heavily from the expenses incident to
the efforts made to enforce the prohi-
bition law . Of the nearly half col
umn which the Herald takes to dis
play the figures of fines and costs, and
this work and hat work done by con-
victed violators of the law, the only
item that gets into the general fund
of the county is $198 of court costs
paid by violators since January LIST.
The county has to dig up the fol-
lowing expenses:
Mileage for sheriff and county at
torney-and meals in some cases.
Board of those in Jail.
Jail supplies.
Food and medical attention for fam
lilies of b~ootleggers.
Justice of the Peace fees.
Car hire.
The expenses of keeping the teams
and equipment of those who have
done road work.
Oh, yes, it is very profitable, this
enforcement of the prohibitory law!
This probably will be my last ap-
pearance in the public press for some
time and l wish to say something now
in regard to these ~prohibitory laws.
/ believe in a decent, common sense
prohibitory law. The saloon was a
bad institution; with the exception of
slavery it was the worst thing ever
in American life.
The people voted out the saloon and
then a lot of half-baked legislators,
frightened by the opportunities and
threats of fanatics, passed laws that
have placed the country in a worse
condition than it was before the sa-
loon was voted out.
What is the situation now?
Not a community of any size but
what the law is violated hundreds and
thousands of times every day.
A housewife who allows buttermilk
to stand a few days violates the law.
If fruit juice is left a short time,
the owner becomes a criminal.
If a reputable physician wishes to
prescribe port wine for a patient it
cannot be had.
These laws and regulations are
what Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire calls Jackass laws, and | believe
he is right.
In places, by intimidation and fear
of prosecution, at times an appear
ance of enforcement is obtained, but
the masses do not now, and never will,
respect fool legislation.
Physicians may prescribe deadly
drugs to their patients in unlimited
quantities, but the n who prescribes
n glass of cider two weeks old is in
the same class as a bank robber.
Yet the fanatics say, "We must re-
spect the law!"
Am / to respect a law which puts
an obligation upon me to inform a
prosecuting officer if | know my neigh
boris wife has made a bottle of home
made wine?
All that l have to say to this is that
if I ever do anything of the KIND l
hope a mob, headed by a delegation
of clergymen, will hang me ut sun
rise the next morning.
Jackass legislature and Jackass
laws are fast getting us into a situa-
ton where people lose respect for
good laws. Get n decent prohibltory
law and the American people will re-
spect, uphold and defend it.

squeals would be long and earsplitting
This was just what Messrs. Powers anc
Markham did to him when they took
away his monopoly of the county
printing and perquisites. His shrill
shrieks last week, when he thought
he had found an opening to attack
them, was the consequence. They
surely sounded as if they came from
a heart plumb full of anguish.
This solicitude for the taxpayers
has developed in Mr.. Newton since
the town and county have left him
shivering on the doorstep. He was not
disturbed by the extra cost to the
county-approximately S1,300-when
he was awarded the county printing
by Messrs. Watkins, Pease and Web
ster, over the lower bids of the Pow
ell Tribune and the Cody Enterprise.

ty, and which the county paid, for

and held up as the horrible example"
wherever the subject of prohibition is
discussed.
The radical drys are outlining an
ambitious program, according to ad-
vices from New York. They are go
ing to start an agitation to annex all
nearby foreign territory that is wet
in order to dry up the source of the
illicit liquor coming into the United
States.
At the recent anti-alcoholic confer
ence in Copenhagen, Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon league, was preceded by a
European speaker who told the del
egates of the failure in the United
States, as he had found it after a
close personal study of conditions
from coast to coast.
The Lord Mayor of York, Eng
land, now in this country, has the
following to say of his observations:
prohibition is making America a
law-breaking nation" he said in an
interview. at lis creating a wide
spread disregard and disrespect among
the people of your country for all
laws. The Canadian system of gov
eminent control of liquor traffic would
be much better for your people. The
trouble is, those who have money can
get all the liquor they want, while
the people who are unable to pay for
good bonded liquor get only poison.
It's making the people a law-breaking
nation-there is no incentive to keep
the law"
The capture of liquor violators
seems to become an obsession with
those entrusted with the business of
enforcing prihibition laws. The mis-
demeanor takes precedent over all
others, worse crimes go unpublished,
and human life is as nothing compar-
ed to the Importance of catching a
b~ootlegger.
The most recent instance is the
SIiOpblhS VI iOui al a Nio"u VI
frightened men and women in a street
in Seattle by a prohibition agent en-
deavoring to stop a liquor suspect.
The assistant state prohibition direct
or declared that the agent was justi-
fed in S % doing.
Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania,
is at least honest. He says the dry
law is a failure. Nobody should know
better than himself since he done his
utmost to enforce it. He declared
that no respect is accorded it and hat
dishonest enforcement agents and poll
tics are largely responsible. He thinks
the President should have the job of
making people obey it.
To a certain extent he is right, but
at the bottom it is the law itself which
is at fault. Americans are good ma
tured, easy going people, as all the
world knows, but they feel that the
fanatics who would regulate their
lives, the food they eat, the air they
breath, from the cradle to the grave,
have gone a step too far in the Vol
stead act. 1t would take more than
the President and the navy and ten
millions of dollars and their army of
spies to change their views upon this
point. And when people, millions of
them, who are naturally ~law-abiding
citizens, have this feeling in their
hearts, it mean that those who would
impose their wills upon them have
tackled an impossible task.
