HIGHJACKING OF
BOOZE CACHE GETS
SEVERAL IN TROUBLE

The finding of a booze cache con
tanning several gallons of the "fin-
ished product by a group of young
boys got several boys and a couple
of men into trouble this week, and,
as the county attorney puts it, "the
end is not yet" The booze was
found in the irrigation ditch west
Of the Southfork road out of town.
The youngsters were playing in
the ditch when they discovered the
cache buried in the water, and sew
Information was taken to the coun-
ty attorney and the sheriff's office
of the find and as to who had some
of the booze in their possession and
charges Of possession and transport
ing Illicit liquor were filed against
Edgar Owings and Jas. Ratliff. Ow-
ings is said to have removed all
that remai1ed of the cache to his
home while Ratliffe, who could not
resist the temptation of securing a
little of the liquor for emergencies,
took home a gallon jug. A few
bottles of the liquor which were
found in several of the homes of
the youngsters was taken by the Of
fcers.
The Owings car, which was used
for the hauling of some of the
liquor, has been attached by the
state but may be returned to its
owners upon the promise that it
will be put to a more lawful use
in the future.

ROOSTER RUNS BEAR
AWAY FROM GAME
WARDEN'S HOME

Dick Rousseau is telling a bear
Story that is a good one and is
backing up his unusual tale with
Kodak pictures which will sustain
his veracity. He was from
his slumbers one morning last week
by the sound of a commotion out
of-doors and slipping on his slippers
peeped out into the rear yard to-
see what was going on. There he
spied a huge grizzley bear in COM
bat with a single game rooster.
From all indications the two had
never met before and the rooster
was more or less ~incensed over what
seemed an unlimited guest. He was
strutting about. Tapping his wings,
Growing and frequently flying at the
bear in a vicious The
bear was mildly interested in the
movements of the gentleman fowl.
and was licking his chops, seeming
to be bordering whether to have
the dainty for breakfast or not
Not having a rifle larger that a
% calibre, Rousseau threw rocks
at the bear and finally sent him of
up the creek about his own business
He said the hair had begun to slip
and even though he had had his
bear gun it would nave been a poor
time to have killed the animal
The Rousseau cabin is located
about As miles above Cody on the
CQdy-Way to Yellowstone park, and
about a mile from Holm Lodge
Although bear are numerous in
these mountains it is unusual when
they come down to the cabin and
quarrel with the chickens.

snakiest string of broncs that ever were gathered in a corral
are being brought in and the steers, according to Harve Winsor,
the finest lot that ever graced a western rodeo.

that they will not get here in time for the show but the COM

prize money is all exhausted in the freefor-al races.
