AUTOGRAPHED PICTURES OF LATE

told her she would never get an
answer to her letter she nevertheless
wrote and asked Mrs. Harding for her
picture, telling her of their struggles
to get their homestead patented and
how highly she would prize such a
keepsake.
One weekly mail after another came
without a reply TO her letter, but her
husbands al told you so" did not
shake her faith and belief that Mrs.
Harding would sometime answer.
Then, one day, in the Painter post
office, there was n big square package
addressed to Mrs. Grover Wilcox,
and when it was opened in the little
log cabin away off from everything
and everybody, the little woman's eyes
grew the size of the p%roverbial sau-
GERS to find inside, not one but two Of
the handsomest photographs anyone
ever looked ut, bearing the Presi-
dents and Mrs. Harding's autographs.
These photographs are now their
dearest treasures, handled with the
greatest reverence and shown with
quite indescribable pride to their

STARR :
IS TURNED LOOSE
Jury Finds Bald Ridge
Youth Not Guilty
of Robbery

The jury in the case of the state
against Howard B. Starr, who was
charged with pulling a gun on Verne
Spencer and collecting $40 from him,
evidently shared the opinion of those
who heard the evidence that the pen
atty attached to an act of this kind
a penitentiary sentence-was too Sc
YER in the circumstances, and he vas
found not guilty in Is or 20 minutes
after the jury retired on Thursday.
Starr, who is an e~x-service mar
from Illinois with a homestead in the
Bald Ridge country, has ~quarreled
with his neighbors in Sunlight over
trivial matters, knocking one of them
unconscious for half an hour with
what was alleged at the time to have
been a brass knuckle worn under a
glove. His acts are attributed to a
lack of common sens rather than due
to any criminal tendencies and the
jury evidently took this view of his
recent childish performance.
He was admonished by Judge Metz
to keep out of poker games and lay
off of the Wild West stuff in future,
which he promised to do. Prior to
giving this advice to the youth whom
he called before him, the judge stat
ed that this was the first time in his
experience on the bench that he had
yer known a jury to take n per-
sons unsupported word against that
of several other witnesses and it was
clear to him that the te~stimonygof the
witnesses who had declared there was
no poker game in the back room of
the pool hall on the night in question

OREGON BASIN
AGAIN TIED Up
BY 0|L-GAS co.
Suit Against Govt
Officials-Claim Ex-
penditure $500, 900

A telegram was received on Satur-
day by the local holders of govern
ment leases on certain lands within
the Oregon Basin oil field, from their
attorney in Washington, ID. c., stating
the Oregon Basin Oil & Gas company
Thursday filed suit in the District of
Columbia Supreme court for an in
junction against Secretary Work and
William Spry, commissioner of the
general land office, to prevent the re-
lection of its claim for a patent on
certain oil lands in Wyoming.
The company declares it acquired
title to the property subject to a lease
and made application at Lander,
Wyo., for a patent which was refused.
It asserts it has expended 100000
in building roads, bridges, camps and
in the acquisition of supplies and
equipment.
patch are located in the Oregon Basin
Oil district in Park county and only a
short distance from Cody.
Leases to the land in question were
secured from the United States gov
eminent by a number of local citizens,
and all government requirements nee
essary to hold the ground have been
complied with. Several thousand dol
lars has been expended in drilling OPP
erations by the lease holders.
Should the rights of the Oregon
Basin Oil & Gas Co. be upheld and
title to the land pass to them it
would mean that the Oregon Basin
Oil field would not be developed for
years or until such time as the oils
were needed, or the company saw fit
to develop the field.
1t is to be hoped the secretary of
the interior will decide in favor of the
present leaseholders, in which case de-
velopment on a large scale will begin
with the opening of spring.

and thorough that the first list was

Horse Falls IS Feet In
to River; Is Uninjured

A curious accident happened last
week when a big work horse belong
ing to Joe Freeborg slipped and fell
in a draw above a precipice about 400
yards above the DeMaris Springs. The
horse was hitched to an iron pipe and
the driver quickly unbulckled the col
lar and loosened the harnes so the
horse was free.
In its struggles it slid down the
s~now-covered draw and fell all of rs
feet into the river. The walls are
steep, almost perpendicular at this
poin except for some jutting rocks
which the horse struck US it went
down.
The water was very deep and the
horse swan about finally, with the as
sistance of the driver, fighting its way
out and on to the bank below where
it was found to be uninjured and went
home and ate its coats as usual.

JOE WOLF, MAIL
CARRIER, FAITH
Full To TRUST
Fights Way Through Bit
ter Cold, Snow and
Darkness

Joe Wolf, the Cody-M eeteetse mail
carrier, was forced to abandon his
stage and leave it, when caught in
one of the severest storms of the win
ter during the week Of February IS,
and began a weary tramp through the
deep snow to the ranch home of Carl
Thomson, which was several miles
away.
Taking the first-claSs mail sack on
his back he started for the ranch.
This sturdy pioneer who had battled
many storms and deep snow in his
years of service as custodian of the u.
S. mails between Cody and Meeteetse,
began the most hazardous trip he had
ever undertaken. Darkness had set
tied when he left his car. To follow
the road was out of the question as
the storm was so fierce II was impos-
sible to keep il and his only hope was
to keep moving in the direction in
which the Thomson ranch was locat-
ed. After many weary hours of travel
he finally reached the ranch at mid
night, nearly exhausted from his ter
rible experience.
Not having arrived in Meeteetse
that night and no information could
be had from Cody except he had start
ed, a rescuing party left both places
to search for the missing man, expect
ing to find him frozen to death. When
the rescue party reached his stalled
car Joe was found busy trying to get
the car back on the road, o n the
worse for his terrible experience Of
the night before.
