A real estate transaction of much
Importance to Cody was consummat
ed on Tuesday evening when ]. F,
Files sold Pahaska Teepee to ]. b
Warren of Rochester, N. Y, who act
ed as the representative of some 300
members of the Mutual Rocky Noun
tain Club which is composed of Ma
sons exclusively.
The purpose of the Club in pur-
chasing the hotel is to provide a place
where members may enjoy a vacation
and see the Park at a minimum of
cost for service.
Naturally, it will attract members
of the Masonic Order from all over
the world and divert much travel
through the Cody entrance that would
otherwise go elsewhere. The Club,
however, will entertain anybody as
it's guests are not to be limited to
club members or Masons.
Mr.. Warren who arrived on Tues
day with Mrs. Warren, will take i'm
mediate possession and the work of
putting it in shape for guests when
the season opens will begin at once.

PULLEY FINED
$1.00; WILL APPEAL
"COP" HELPS A FARCE
COMEDY-FORMER OFFIC-
Err CHARGED WITH
TAKING GUN

One of the best farce comedies of
the season was enacted Wednesday
forenoon in Justice Marston's court,
with E. ]. Goppert occupying the
center of the stage and rocking the
walls of the Pioneer building with
his forensic efforts.
Earl Pulley, ex-deputy sheriff, was
hailed into court on a complaint sworn
out by Donald Downing, of Billings,
charging him with appropriating to
his own use with intent to steal, a
gun which was taken from Downing
last spring when he "a arrested at
Meeteetse charged with drawing it on
Henry Sayles.
1t appears from the evidence taken
in court that the gun was left in the
sheriff's office while Downing was
confined in Jail awaiting trial, and
later on Mr.. Pulley carried the gun,
1t being lighter than his own, with
the knowledge and consent of Sheriff
Loomis and the boy who owned the
weapon. After Downing was released
from Jail he asked for the gun and
was told by Mr.. Pulley that he did
not believe it could be recovered.
This request was made at the Mint
Pool Hall and the gun was at that
time in the sheriff's office.
Last Sunday Downing again made
request for the gun and was told by
Pulley that if he would get an order
from the sheriff, his weapon wauld
be returned to him. Upon getting
the order, instead of taking it to
Pulley and getting the gun, he sold
the order to the Brundage Hardware
Company for five dollars, with the
understanding that they were to get
the gun from Pulley. Then he had
Pulley arrested for stealing his gun
1t would have been an easy matter
for Downing to have replevined the
property. but acting upon the advice
of the prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Cop
pert, he commenced criminal action,
with the result that C. A. Marston
found Pulley guilty of tho charge
and imposed a fine of s1.00 and costs
Mr.. Pulley, through his attorney
]. E. McElvain, has appealed the
case which will be heard at the next
term of District Court.

The result of the hard fought cleo.
ton proved that the majority of the
townfolk are entirely satisfied with
the present administration, and do
not care for a repetition of the Cox
regime which it was believed would
have followed the election of the OPP
position ticket. Those tumultuous
! times with its jangles and q~uarrels,
"Hairbreadth Harrys" and continual
arrests for trivial offenses which kept
the town in a turmoil, are still fresh
in the memory of most of the voters.
The Trueblood administration has
been marked by harmony and peace;
the mayor and council have worked
together in entire accord; order has
been preserved and the affairs of the
Town handled with economy and
good sense. In. view of these facts,
ther was no reason why another tick
ct should have been placed in the
field necessitating the contest of
Tuesday.
The vote while not SO heavy as
that polled two years ago when Cox
was defeated by the liberals by ear
ly two to one, was heavy considering
that at this time of year many of the
voters who call Cody their home are
out Of town, employed on ranches or
on the roads.
Friends Of the rival candidate were
up and doing early, so that by eleven
o'clock the streets presented a live
iy scent with cars dashing around
corners carrying daxed looking vot-
ers Of both sexes. snatched from their
baking or gardening, bundled in and
deposited at the polls.
A considerable delay was caused
by the fact that the voting booths
appeared to be lost. They were fin
ally located and set up, but not un-
ill 1890 instead of Q o'clock when
they were supposed to open.
One of the exciting events of the
day was n spirited race between John
Dahlem and the Rev. Dryden for the
privilege of taking a lady voter to
the polls, with the Methodist preach
er beating Johns time by about a
seconds.
Each side vas equally confident of
success and the result was in doubt
up to the time the polls closed and
the counting started, when it became
fairly certain that the administration
ticket would be reelected.
The vote was as follows:

DR.. Nicholas hurry Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University and n
delegate to the Republican national
convention in Cleveland next month,
has come out squarely in favor of an
anti-prohibition plank in the 1924
platform. DR.. Butler declares that
the Republican party stands in danger
of losing eleven states in the coming
presidential election if it does not
take a decision stand against the
present prohibition situation.
We may be raving, but, nevertheless

The statement is frequently made
by persons unfolding the present pro-
hibition laws, that wherever a vote
has been taken in various states it
has been shown that the sentiment
was against their repeal or even mod
ification The statement is a mistake
in only two states, Ohio and Cali
fornia, has this taken place. In six
other states where the question has
been at issue, the voters have signi-
fed that they are against the present
laws and in favor of modification or
repeal.
The Rev. Roland w. Sawyer, a
Congregational minister who is a
member of the Massachusetts, legis-
lature, told the Judiciary committee
of modification of the Volstead Act
that those who were responsible for
the act were not keeping faith with
those who voted for the Eighteenth
Amendment. Those who wanted the
amendment, he asserted, did not con-
template such rigid enforcement as
the act provides.
"You have sought to make a
crime" he declared, "of what is not
a moral wrong and that which COM
mon sense and conscience does not be-
lieve a moral wrong" Conditions, he
asserted, are growing worse and
