GREYBUlL BANK
FAILS tn OPEN
ON WEDNESDAY

Word has been received that the
First State Bank of Greybull failed
to open its doors on Wednesday morn
ing. No details are available at this
time. This bank and the Commercial
merged about two years ago. Grey
bull has had two banks, the other
being the First National which is
considered sound.
Times have been reported to be
very hard in Greybull for some
months owing to the laying off of
many men and a reduced payroll in
consequence which has had its effect
upon all business.
Cody Is fortunate in having conser-
vative and substantial institutions
well fortified to weather any storm.
As a matter of fact. Buffalo Bills
town is reputed to be in better con-
dition financially than any other town
IN the basin, largely due To the out
side money which is left here by
tourists and brought in from other
sources. Its large stock interests also
nave considerable to do with its pros
perity.

National Bank Examiner
Gives Praise to Pres.
J. E. Bowling

There is reason to believe that the
Powell National bank will be reor-
ganized and doing business as usual
within a few weeks. A meeting of the
depositors has been held at which
time it was urged by the national
bank examiner, w. w. Dunaway, that
the bank be not allowed to go into the
hands of a receiver but that all con-
nected with the institution should Co
operate to prevent this taking place.
A careful examination of the books,
he stated, showed that there was 10
hint of dishonesty on the part of its
president, j.. f. Bowling, or any of
fetal and he attributed a depleted re-
serve as the sole cause of the temper
airy closing of it's doors. To the on
trary, he gave great praise to Mr..
Bowling and the directors for their
action in voluntarily closing the bank
instead of taking deposits and entail
ing further losses upon its patrons.
He stated that the deposits had de
creased SO46 900 during the last three
months and the liquidation of loans
had been only $4,000 for that month
which made it impossible for the bank
to continue at that rate.
A committee was appointed to ne
gotiate with the directors and stock
holders with a view to reorganization
and resumption of business. The
committee consists of the following
persons: Earl Loomis, Ora Bever,
d. f. Powers, T. l.. Eddy of Elk
Basin, Walter +. Kemp of Deayer,
John Steck of Ralston, Marion Kittle
of Powell, w. l.. Sanders of Garland,

JOE JONES LOVELY
EYES IMPRESS new
YORK INTERVIEWER
Best guide in the World,
Declares Enthusiastic
Eastern Hunter

At last an adequate pen picture of
Joe Jones has been drawn by an in
terviewer in the New York Times.
Probably no one is more surprised
than Joe himself to learn how at
tractive he is, how brave and alto
gether noble.
Particular attention is called to the
impression which Joe's eyes made up
on the reporter, lending color to the
suspicion that the representative of
the press was a woman and not i'll
looking.
The article is illustrated with an
excellant picture, showing Joe a dash
ing figure and wearing what appears
to be a mustache, probably superin-
dduced by the 10y, altitude and the
damp coast climaS.t
Saws the Times interviewer:
His name is Joe A. Jones, the best
hunting guide in tthe world, accord
ing to William H. A. Holmes, treasur-
er of D.. Saunders & Son, who has
followed him along wild and danger
Gus trails in THE Wyoming Rockies.
You can't call him Joseph. That
would Immediately wipe out his per-
sonality.
Joe is short and looks shorter I'M
der the big whitish-grey felt sombrero
he wears; he has quiet, moist blue
Unconditional eyes land he speaks with
n slow, soft Western twang that is
charming. Nothing on earth, appar-
emily. can make him fire with the tell
ing of however thrilling a personal
adventure. He speaks of a closeup
r'yht with a grizzly bear as calmly as
though he were discussing the wealth
err.
II Joe's method of telling a story
should be taken as nm indication,
nothing has ever happened in his life.
Grizzlies have threatened his life on
more than n occasion. He tells
about them only when he's pressed
to do so and in a most im%personal, al
most a%bstracted All appar-
emily in the days work. according to
Joe.
The celebrated guide told the story
Of one day suddenly meeting with n
grizzly and IL bullets he and his hun
ter fired into her were insufficient to
down her. How she looked as she
charged-jaws slavering wide, furious
eyes,, rmazing speed for her clumsi-
ncss-Joe left to the imagination.
Calmly he began the story when she
was within three feet Of him-at his
guns end. And then he fired, the
powder burning her fur. the bullet
piercing her henrt-and she was dead.
That wns all TO the story. Couldn't
you run?" his tenderfoot interviewer
questioned brenthlcss. No use run
