Our Boys at Fort Roots

To the Public:
Reconstruction Days! Words filled
with meaning and days. with toll.
All of ms have heard our parents and
grand parents tell of those days which
followed the Civil War. We of the
southland know that when our men
came back they found devastated
homes. Woodrow Wilson must have
known of this trying time causing him
to be slow to enter the war. However,
when we did enter, our best was SEM
our best young manhood. We women
of this generation know what our
grand parents learned; but as the
World War was not fought on our soil,
we have left to remind us of the great
conflict only the host of young men who
returned with wrecked health. They
are in hospitals in every state In the
Union. To us in Arkansas, the Fort
Roots Hospital and the General Army
and Navy Hospital hold our charges.
These boys are picking up the threads
of life again. In recent interview
with Charles c. Dunn. in charge OF
the Occupational Therapy work In the
Fort Roots Hospital, learned of many
useful things the men are making
there. Employing their time keeps
them happier Do you know that they
are making these articles to sell, not
to lay on the shelvesg Do you think. 1t
our duty and privilege to buy these
and help them make money to carry
on? 1t helps them to feel they are use
full and will mean happy Christmas to
the families of these boys If we buy
and sell the worth while things they
are making. l know every post and
unit in the state will do its part To-
ward creating n sale for these hand
made products.
Following is the catalogue price LIST
Of the articles. All citizens are urged
to buy. Send your order together with
the price thereof to Mrs. j. G. McNairy.

She Makes A
Profit On Tier job

THE HOUSEWIFE runs the greatest business in the
world Ninety per cent of all earned income goes through
her hands.
The SUCCESSFUL housewife runs her home to show
profit just like the manager of any other business That
profit is measured in the savings she puts by.
The WISE housewife knows the value of checking ac-
count at this bank to keep track of her expenses she
knows the value of a savings account here to guard
her profits She knows that when she banks 1t she

Coleman Wouldn't
Have Needed Cum,
Say Friends

Philadelphia, Feb. 16th.-John E.
Bennett, Cheyenne "rodeo" champion
and movie thriller" actor, was beat
en- and robbed by three highwaymen
a few minutes after he got off a
train here.
"If 1 had had a gun with me those
boys would never have had a chance
he said m~ournful,7, as he surveyed
his wounds at a hospital. His face
was badly cut and his body bruised.
The footpads took $3.50 and Ben
nets handbag, which contained cloth
ing valued at $500. A taxicab driver
seeing Bennett lying on the pavement
took him to a hospital.
When first reading the headliner
in an Eastern paper, it was wondered
if the man Bennett could possibly have
been Lloyd Coleman. Coleman had
last been reported as being in Chica-
go but was on his way to Philadelph-
ia. Remembering an incident where
byLloyd Coleman was able to handle
quite easily a band of four horse
thieves on the Lowell road last sum-
mer, without crying about the abb
sence of a gun afterwards, it is felt
fairly sure that the victim in the
above case is not the local bronc
twister.

CODY WILL CELEBRATE
FIRST "c0DY DAY" ON
MONDAY, FEBRUARY rs

On next Monday, February Goth,
the regular meeting of the Cody
Club will be held at the Irma Hotel
in the evening at six o'clock instead
of at the usual hour of noon. Mon
day is Colonel Cody's birthday, and
the members of the Cody Club will
turn their meeting into a birthday
party for members of the boy scouts
of Cody who will be entertained at
dinner. 1t is expected that Senator
S. A. Nelson of Powell will be on
hand to address the meeting, after
which a dance will be given by the
Lions Club. Soon after the twenty
sixth, it is expected that a nation
wide campaign will be commenced by
the Boy Scouts of America for the
purpose of raising funds for the build
ing of the Buffalo Bill Memorial in
Cody, a design for which has already
been submitted by Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney of New York who will do
the work. Some fifty dollars has al
ready been raised in a few days work
of the Cody Boy Scouts.

EAGLES HARD Time
BALL WAS BEST YET
HARD BOILED GUESTS IN
HARD-LOOKING CLOTHES
HAVE HOT TIME ON
COLD NIGHT-DANCE
TILL ROOSTER
CROWS

An event which annually attracts
large crowds of out of town as well
as Cody dance fans, is the Eagles Ball
which is held each February in the
Temple Theatre and is a celebration
midst the winter life of Buffalo Bill's
old town ,rivaled only by the STAN
pede Ball.
On Friday evening, the Eagles put
on another one of their famous af-
fairs, and the Temple was jammeed
to capacity with a happy throng that
danced until early in the morning to
the music of the Eagles splendid or
chestra from Billings. Last year it
was the general opinion that the
Eagles dance ha dnever been such a
good one, but this year it was even
better. Everyone had a good time
and when finally about five o'clock
in the morning the instruments of
the orchestra were heard wrangling
their way through the strains of
"Home Sweet Home" it was a sad
lot that dragged weary feet home
wards with the realization that an
other year must pass before the next
Eagles dance.
At midnight an excellant supper
was served, and previous to this,
some fifty dollars was given out in
cash prizes for the best "hard time"
costumes. Prizes TO rthe best comis
costumes went to George Coleman,
l.. A. Schwoob, Ames Moore and
Harry Davis. Prizes for the best
''hard time" costumes went to Yer
non Spencer, Jim Winsor, Mrs. Win
sor, and Harold Hill. Vern Spencer,
having Just come in from trapping
in the mountains, was easily the
hardest of the hard timers, appear
ing with a beard that threatened to
tangle up his toes when dancing. The
special feature of the dance was the
music which was unquestionably
good and deserves special mention.
The men played almost steadily with
out a rest, and at one time when the
clapping for encores died low, the
leader announced to the crowd not
to get tired because the men couldn't
return to Billings until the following
day at noon and had come to Cody to
play. So they were encouraged
again and played some more.
Those who had charge of the ar
rangements for the Eagles Ball des-
erve great credit for, as some one
said the next day, "Say those Cody
Eagles sure put Ter onP

new RAILROAD FOR
WY0. SEEMS ASSURED
MILES CITY AND CASPER
LINKED BY SEPT. 1924 is
PROMISE MADE BY
BUILDERS TO LIE
GISLATURE

A railroad from Miles City to Cas-
per, b yway of Sheridan and Buffalo,
to be started, not sometime in the
distant future, but to be completed
by September 21st., 1924, sounds like
a pipe dream to Wyoming folk who
have grown grey headed waiting for
railroads that have never m~aterializ-
ed.
Men with honest intentions and,
what is even more important, Sic, 600
600 in their inside pocket appeared
before the legislature on Saturday
and laid their plans before that body.
Scott Ferris, former congressman
from Oklahoma and now represent
ing of former Governor C. N. Has
kell of Oklahoma, stated that his
company proposed to build a standard
gauge road from the Milwaukee and
st. Paul road at Miles City, Montana,
on the north, to Casper on the south
through Sheridan and Buffalo and
that their engineers were already at
work laying out the route down the
Tongue River Valley. The railroad
company proposed to begin the work
of construction June LIST, 1923, and
will have the line completed before
cold weather and will have the line
completely equipped by September
1924.
The Haskell Company is finances
from New York and has a charter
from the State of Wyoming. The
cost of building is estimated at $751;
100000. The people along the route
are not to build the road or put up
one cen until the road is completed
and at the end of that time all they
can, what land they a give along
the right of way in lieu of money,
lots for buildings, etc. All to amount
to 10 per cent of the Haskell inter-
ests investment in the road.
If scientific men are correct the
railroad will distribute $50, 900 to
towns and business houses alone;
$15,000,000 rate yield to state and
81 100000 to counties. They are not
asking immunity from taxation nor
donations from the state of Wyom-
ing but they are asking that the
people insure tonnage, the state the
concessions it has to lease and the
people the lands through the right
of way. Mr.. Ferris told his audience
that Senator Kendrick had asked
them in New York not to bear down
the people in Wyoming for money,
for money they did not have, but to
ask them for idle lots and lands, oil
leases and tonnage to make the rail-
way line a success. And this was all
hat they were asking the people to
pledge, and these pledges were not
to be turned over until tn cline was
completed.
If this railroad is built within the
time limit it will be the largest built
within the United State swithin that
time. A matter of vital Importance
to everybody in Wyoming. 1t will
mean increased population and and
increased cultivation and all this
implies wherever it passes through.
It will give to Wyoming and this side
of the Big Horn Mountains what
they have needed for 25 years.

Sc BLOWS BRAINS OUT

HEALTH

Suicide was in his mind when A.
M. Ketchum of Meeteetse was in
Cody a short time ago on his way to
Hot Springs, Arkansas. He told an
old time friend while here that if he
found he would never recover from
the paralytic stroke which had i'm
paired his usefulness he would kill
himself as soon us he was sure his
case was hopeless.
He kept his word when last Sunday
he put an automatic against his head
and blew his brains out.
He was SO years of age and had
lived many years in the Meeteetse
country where he had a pack of
thoroughbred fox hounds and was a
hunter and guide.

GREYBULL MAN HAS
SLEEPING SICKNESS

F. F. Bristow, business manager of
the Greybull Standard, has fallen
victim to that strange desease known
as sleeping sickness. In his case one
of its p~eculiarites is that he sees
everything double so that when he
reaches for a glass of water he does
so with both hands.
This is not its first appearance in
Wyoming as some three Or four cases
have been reported in other parts of
the State.

on location, and that he intends to

HARRY SANB0RN IS
IN THE CALAB00SE
.SWEARS OUT COMPLAINT
FOR FALSE IMPRISON-
MENT AGAINST CITY
ATTORNEY AND
MARSHAL

Sensation follows sensation in the
controversy between the town mar
shall, Harry L. Wizard, and Harry C.
Sanborn over the removal of horses
belonging to the latter which were
put in the pound by the officer. The
battle between the two Harrys fur
nishes a thrill every fifteen minutes.
The latest development is the COM
plant for false arrest sworn out
against Wizard and the city attorney,
ID. E. HOLSTER, by the county's ex-
-tremely active prosecuting attorney,
E. j. Goppert. Satisfactory bonds
were furnished by both Wizard and
Hollister who are still at liberty.
Sanborn, however, is spending Wash
ington's birthday in the village cal
aboose.
The hearing of the case came up
before Justice of the Peace Marston
at the Town Hall on Thursday morn
ing, and the defendent objected to
the jurisdiction of the court. Judge
Marston decided that he did not have
jurisdiction and refused to hear the
case upon that ground. The marshall
then took Sandborn back to the city
Jail in default of bond.
Harry Sanborn was placed in the
city Jail on Saturday afternoon. He
3e. Aained behind the bars for several
hours and was then let out on $3.50
bohd.
Sanborn had repeatedly been ask
ed by marshal Wizard to pay for the
feed of some horses which belonged
ed up rowing about the city streets
almost a month ago and placed in the
pond. Because of the long hair at
this time of year, the brands were
fairly well covered, but one day while
away, he returned to find that San
born had been at the city corrals
during his absence and had taken
away the three horses. When asked
to pay for the keep of the animals
Sanborn refused, though Wizard
only suggested about twenty-five
cents a day while the usual price is
a dollar a head and a dollar a day
for the time each horse is held.
Sanborn claimed that his horses had
been driven out of town towards the
Peaks by Wilson, a man who works
for him. Wizard told him he would
give him a week to pay and at the
end of that time would have to take
him in. At the end of the week, the
law was enforced.
1t seems to be the concen-
sus of opinion hat Sanborn and his
st4rk have been bothering the town
considerably for several years. He
runs a regular ranch in the midst of
one of the city streets, with sloppy
corrals, manure, hogs, chickens, and
barn yard truck let loose about the
neighborhood. Neighbors have con-
tinually complained and marshal
Wizard has many times had to warn
Sanborn or to ask him to clean up
this or hat or catch up some stroll
ing animal. Sanborn objected to
these attempts of Wizard to do his
duty and is said to have even held
off on paying his dog taxes until the
very last minute. So he objected
when asked to pay for the city's keep
of his three horses.
While in Jail, Sanborn had many
callers who wen down to see what
the local coal dealer lookel like be-
hind the bars. County Commissioner

When j. M. Schwoob left for the
coast a week ago last Saturday, he
had with him seven and a half pages

he had been asked to look up during

only four days but leave it to jake
to manage somehow to call on all of
them.

Markham took some chocolates down
to feed the prisoner between the bars,
and Otto Koenig arrived with a
camera just too late to snap a picture

on charges of false Imprisonment.
