ELK FIGHTING Way OUT OF SNOW
To Be SLAUGHTERED ON SOUTH
FORK BY MERCILESS HUNTERS
Shot Down Like Cattle in a Corral, Herd Threat
ened with determination Unless Quick
Action is taken, Report-State Game
Warden Notified of Situation

The report comes from the ranger
station on Southfork and other au-
thentic sources, that unless something
is done Immediately to stop the wicked
and unsportsmanlike slaughter of elk
on the Southfork, the band of some
two or three hundred will be exter-
minated shortly. Driven from Boul-
der basin and their winter ranges by
hunger, the elk have fought their way
out of the deep SHOWS to meet the bull
let's of pot hunters.
Without any more sport attached
to the killing than shooting cows in a
corral, the slaughter is reported to be
sickening to lovers of the big game
who are helpless to prevent it.
Deputy Game Warden Rousseau
will get in touch with the State game
warden as soon as possible in the
hope that when he understands the
situation something may be done to
stop it.

Two two-year-old colts were the
star witnesses in the case of the state
against Carl Thomson, who was
charged with branding two colts be-
longing to w. r. Coe. Their test
imony was positive and convincing
and not to be shaken under cross-ex-
animation of the prosecuting attorney,
E. ]. Goppert.
When, after a separation of some
three or four months, the colts were
turned in the corral with the mares
belonging to Carl Thomson, they fol-
lowed their mothers around to see II
there was any dinner left. There
wasn't, but it was conclusive evidence
of the relationship to Judge Marston,
who is an old stockman.
He dismissed the case ~whereupon
Goppert promptly filed another COM
plant against Thomson upon the same
charge, in the district court.
He introduced no evidence at the
preliminary hearing which was held
IN the court house before Judge Mars
ton last Saturday to show that Thorn
sen was not within his rights in brand
ing his W colts. He did not dispute
the fact that the mares belonged to

NEARLY half The COST or HOPPER
POISON FOR ENTIRE COUNTY SAVED
ON ONE RANCH ALONE, IS STATED
Volunteer Information to Disprove Her
AIDS charge of Extravaganza on Part Of County
Commissioners in Combating Plague

The charge of extravaganza on the
part of the county commissioners in
allowing the purchase of $4,000 worth
of g~rasshopper poison by the county
agent to combat the grasshopper
plague, has been made by Mr.. Newton
in his Herald.
That there is no foundation for any
such criticism is readily proven by
ranchers who are in a position to
know the true facts and who have vol
unteered the correct information.
Half the cost of the poison to the
whole county was saved on one ranch
alone; and the combined saving in the
farming districts where part of the
first and all of the second and third
cuttings of alfalfa would have been
lost, run well up into the thousands.
The county agent, MI. Allen, asked
for the poison in response to long pc
titions signed by the ranchers of Pow
ell, Garland and Penrose. Other petit
tons were in preparation, and to save
time it was decided to fight the grass
hoppers with poison wherever the poi
son was needed. On the William
Rankin ranch on Sheets fiat, where
the grasshoppers were particularly
bad, about 35 per cent of the first cut
ting was destroyed by the hoppers be-
fore poison could be put out. After
the hay was in the winrows, the poison
was scattered literally over the fields
and vas so effective that the second
cutting vas scarcely damaged at all.

Brothers On Sheets fiat scattered poi

were so thick that they rose in clouds

TWO COLTS STAR WITNESSES FOR
CARL Thomson, CHARGED WITH H0SS
STEALING; CASE IS DISMISSED
TWO YEAR-oLDS NEW THEIR MOTHER AFTER FOUR
MONTHS SEPARATION, PROVING OWNERSHIP
COP FILES COMPLAINT ON SAME CHARGE

Thomson who had owned them for
several years.
The mothers owned the colts as
soon as they were turned together
and so while the colts had been brand
ed with what IA alleged to be a ~,
there was no apparent reason why
Thomson should moi subsequently put
his own brand upon his property.
Goppert's action in filing another
information upon the same charge
gives. rise to the question as to what
a preliminary hearing is for, anyhow?
The hearing was interesting from
many viewpoints and attracted con-
siderable attention . Cop seemed in a
peck o. trouble. J. E. McElvain, the
new attorney from Red Lodge, who
represented Thomson, held him down
most e~ffectually while the Judge
turned him down, and, as the case
neared its conclusion. the prosecuting
attorney had a tantrum, or what
would have been called a plain case
of Mysteries if he had been a woman,
and led a spectator to believe if a
lawyer was judged by the noise he
made Cop would be a leader of the
state bar.

before anyone walking through the
grain and alfalfa.
These men state that they would
hove lost practically their entire crops
had it not been for the poison fur
nished them by the county. Reports
from Powell, Sage creek, Clarks Fork,
Penrose and Garland are to the effect
that in practically every ares where
the poison was prepared and put out
according to instructions, the results
obtained were satisfactory.
Oscar White and l. N. McGuffy
of Sage creek obtained very beneficial
results from the use of the poison,
and it has been stated by men that
have given the matter considerable
study and investigation that, at a
low estimate, at least $4,000 worth
of growing crops were saved to the
ranchers of Park county by the use
of grasshopper poison.
AS this was the first year that the
poison has been used to any extent
in Park county, possibly some of the
material was wasted, due to half
hearted efforts and lack of coopera-
ton on the part of some ranchers, but
it has been proven beyond doubt that
the campaign was effective, and that
the investment of the county commits
sioners in the grasshopper paison cam
paign was a paying one, wen if the
expenditures did amount to consider
able.
Experiments are often expent and
avail of nothing, but in this instance
the results obtained were so satisfac-
tory that no fair minded person will
censure or question the judgment of
the county agent or the county COM
m%issioners.

ENGINEERS HERE TO
SELECT BRIDGE SITE

r. B. Silver, of Basin, district en-,
gineer for the state highway; j. S.
Seller, of Cheyenne, chief bridge en-
gineer for the state highway; l.. F,
Copeland, of Denver, bridge engineer
for the bureau of public roads, and w
T. Killebrew, of Thermopolis, main.
tenance engineer, we're in Cody on
Wednesday to inspect and designate
a location for a bridge across the
Shoshone river in the vicinity of the
Iron springs in the canyon.
The location of the bridge will be
the link that will connect the south
side road project with the Northfork
road, and will. when constructed, be
the means of bringing practically all
the travel that goes over the Cody
Way through the town.
Locating Engineer Morton of the
state highway department has been in
Cody for the past week surveying the
road on the south side of the river
and, it is said, has chosen the site OF
the old bridge across Sulphur creek
as the site for a new bridge.
Contracts for the three and one-hali
miles of new work west of the dan
have not as yet been awarded by the
Bureau of Public Roads, and it is pos.
sible that the work will be re-adver,
tised for bids, as the bids of severa'
contractors were received n day lat.
on account Of washouts which delayed
the mails.
