BALD RIDGE MAN
MAKES GUN-PLAY
Howard B. Starr Separ-
ates Vernon Spencer
From His Bank-roll

Bald Ridge came into the limelight
last Friday morning, when How
ard B. Starr of that section, already
made famous by the Enterprises cor
respondent, poked a gun into the pit
of Verne Sp%encer's tummy and told
him to throw his money on the table.
AS he raked Mrs. Bertha Sirrine's
six-shooter back. and forth, his range
took in Jack Spicer who felt that he
his bank-roll out with a celebrity which
made Spencer's movements slow by
comparison.
Starr, being inexperienced in the
hold-up business, was and
shaking so hard that his two victims
were afraid he would tremble his gun
off and kill one of them.
Spencer laid $40 of the $40 he says
he had received for three marten
skins the night before on the table.
Starr took the money and, without
waiting for Jack Spicer's contribu-
ton, started out the back door of Joe
and Johns pool hall where the Incl
dent happened.
He then went over to "Moss-Agate"
Summers residence and retired. He
slumbered peacefully until he was ar
rested for stealing Mrs. Bertha Sir
rine's gun.
Starr says that he lost his $40 to
Verne Spencer in a poker game in the
back room of the pool hall and took
this means of recovering it.
John Dahlem, Jack Spicer and
Verne Spencer say there was no poker
game as the place was closed about IL
o'clock and not opened until Z the
next morning.
Spencer says that he and Roy Glas-
gov got up early to go up the South
Fork and he stopped in the pool hall
a minute on his way ~tobreakfast. Jack
Spicer came in shortly after and they
were sitting at a table when Starr
rushed in and threw the gun down on
them.
"Don't either of you make a novel,
"Throw it on the tablet" They fol-
lowed Starts instructions as above re-
lated.
Spencer declares that he does not
know Starr and never saw him before
to his knowledge, and his explanation
of the affair is that the Bald Ridge
hold-up is a little unbalanced. Starr
has named several whom he says were
in the back room playing poker but
there is no information to the effect
that his story has been corroborated
by those whom he mentions.
John Dahlem states that in view
of the fact that Starr could not pay
for a SOC rummy game the night be-
fore and declared that he had told him
he had only "hickies to eat on" he
cannot see how anyone could beat him
out of $40.

'CODY WOLVES"
Whip Two teams
(By Orion Nef, former
Laramie Coach)

The Cody High School basketball
team added two more victories to
their list when they defeated the fast
Cowley and Basin teams on their W
courts last Thursday and Friday
nights.
The trip down the valley was made
in cars and was a very strenuous one,
due to bad roads all the way. Prog
ress was checked for awhile on the
Corbett hill where it was necessary to
call the aid of a team to pull the cars
through a large snowdrift. 1t takes
more than a trip of this sort to down
these young EVOLVES" and they vert
all in the pink of condition to meet
the fast Cowley team at 8 O'Clock
Friday evening.
The Cowley team were ~undefeated
up to this date and were out to take
the scalps of the Cody lads also.
The first half ended with the score
AZ in Cowley's favor. Our boys came
back fighting in the second half and
dropped in two baskets before time
was called for the end of the third
quarter. Cowley failed to connect
with the hoop during this period and
the score then stood Ga in favor of
Cody. The fourth quarter was a real
battle with both teams fighting with
every ounce of strength they pos
sessed. Cowley scored a field goal in
the first two minutes and tied the
score SIS. Cody came back with two
field goals and held a four point lead
up to the last two minutes. Three
personal fouls were called on Brown
in less than a minute and a half at the
end of the game and he was ruled out
on personals. Happy Haynes substi-
tuted for Brown and n personal was
called on him in the short time he
played. These four fouls were called
in the territory where two free throws
are given the opponents as a penalty
upon the team making the foul. This
gave Cowley eight free throws and
they registered three points out of the
eight trials.
The whistle blew for the end of the
game when Art ICELAND was in the act
of shooting a foul. Art shot and
missed his free chance at the hoop
and the game was over. Cody won
the game by only one point 1919, but
all 10 of her points were made from
the field where Cowley registered
only two field goals out of their nine
points.
This is Cowley's first defeat upon
their own floor in four years and is

Here is a chance in a lifetime for
worthy young men who can furnish
letters of recommendation and who
do not object to lying, spying, betray-
ing confidence, friendship and hos
pitality for money.
Lon C. Davis, federal prohibition
commissioner for Wyoming, is receiv-
ing applications for positions as spe-
cial agents of his department.
"Only high class men will be con
sidered," says Director Davis with I'M
conscious humor. 1--WE have several
good positions for men of that class
WV
Mr.. H. L. Casey, still another high
class man in Mr.. Wachtel's employ,
after making a noise like a brakeman
for several months recently turned
in" seven alleged violators of the Ii
quor law in Evanston who yer pro-
prietors of soft drink places. In the
discharge of his duties as enforce
ment officer, Mr.. Casey RAJ up so
many bills around Evanston that his
railroad wages were garnisheed. 1t
was at this point that Mr.. Casey dis
closed the interesting fact that he was
a stool-pigeon.
WV
Another high class mar appears
to have gone wrong in Rawlins when
the city marshal arrested one Barney,
alias Carl Schell, for passing fraudu-
lent checks a few days ago. MI. Bar
ney-Schell is a state prohibition of
ficer and a member of Nj. c. Wach-
tells enforcement staff. When Mr.
Wachtel learned that another of his
lambs had gone estray he wired the
authorities to pay his numerous debts
and ship him to Cheyenne.
Mr.. Barney-Schell is alleged to
have been very careless with his mon

Woodrow Wilson is Dead

Woodrow Wilson, World War president, sleeps in
eternal peace. The great human machine which he him
self said on Friday had broken down slowed to stop at
II is Sunday morning.
Woodrow Wilson's indomitable spirit slipped quiet
1y to the Great Beyond for which he was ready. With
the World watching at his bedside for the last three days
the distinguished American recognized as one of the
great men, not only Of his country and his time but of
all countries and times came TRANQUILITY to an end.
His book of Life is closed, although thousands of
books yet to be written will record his fame and deeds
and millions will speak OF him for years to come.
The following tribute was paid Mr.. Wilson by Presi-
dent Coolidge: "As president OF the United States he
was moved by an earnest desire to promote the best in
terests of the country as he conceived them. His acts
were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of pur-
pose cannot be questioned. He led the nation through
the tragic stages of the World War with a lofty idealism
which never failed him. He gave utterance to the as
pirations of humanity with an eloquence which held the
attention OF all the earth and made America a new and
enlarged influence in the destiny OF mankind"
The funeral was held on Wednesday at 200 p. m.
The body will be placed in a vault until arrangements
have been made as to its final resting place.

The Oregon Basin Oil and Gas Co.,
which has been operating in the Ore
gon Basin Oil field for a number of
years and which had laid claim to all
the land in the basin, most of which
was held as q government oil reserve
and withdrawn from entry or loca-
ton, was finally thrown open to en-
try a few years ago. A number of
local citizens filed locations on the re-
serve and made application for lease
from the government which was APP
proved by the general land office at
Washington, d.. c.
In the meantime the Oregon Basin
Oil and Gas Co. made application for
patents on all the ground claimed by
them. This ground had been located
by local citizens and approved by the
government and they protested the is
suance of a patent to the oil company,
carrying the case to the U. S. Com
missioner of Public Lands at Wash
ington, d. C. for a decision, with the
result that word was received on
Tuesday by the leaseholders that the
application for patent had been de-
MED the oil company, and the hocal
leaseholders had prior rights to the
ground and their lease from the gov
eminent was valid.
Former Congressman Frank w.
Mondell, and still a government Of
fetal, appeared for the Oregon Basin
Oil and Gas Co., asking that the ap-
plication for patent by his clients be
approved. w. T. Herrick, a prom
inent land attorney of Washington, d.
c., appeared for some of the lease
holders and was successful in having
the rights of the people VS.. corpor-
atoms upheld.
This has been a long drawn out case
and one which has retarded develop
ment of the oil of Oregon
Basin and with the application for
patent pending unsettled, very few oil
companies would undertake to de-
velop or prospect in Oregon Basin.
The decision as rendered means
thai the development of this oil struc-
ture will begin on a large scale as
soon as the weather permits. The
OHIO Oil Company, which has been
drilling on this structure, will resume
operations again on March 1, it is re-
ported; and several companies have
expressed their willingness to begin
operations when the title was cleared
up.
About a year ago three representa-
tiVes Of Harry Sinclair-Dr. Veach.
y. L. Lupton, biologists, and a Mr..
Morris, Sinclair's personal represen-
tatlve-came to Cody and spent sew
eral days looking over the Oregon
Basin oil field. At that time they ex-
pressed their willingness to begin OPP
erations if the title to the leases
could be cleared up and enough acre
age could be secured that was not en-
e"iled by the Oregon Basin Oil Co.
IL Is evident that the decision rem
uered by the commissioner of the gen
erai land office will prove a great
general good to this community and
nat development of the oil
vi TINS section will begin in earnest.
for years 1t has been rumored that oil
~ paying quantities had been discov-
eIeu IN Oregon Basin and the wells
capped and no further development
mas proceeded and would not have
proceeded II the Oregon Basin Oil
unu Gas company had been awarded

Less than a year ago the affairs of
the Park County library were moving
along like well oiled machinery. Then,
suddenly, Miss Margery Ross, F. NJ.
Lane, Mrs. E. 4 Goppert and others
who seem to look upon this public in
stitution as their private property dis
covered that Mrs. E. Pierce, whom
they had appointed, was not a trained
librarian. They must have a trained
librarian, and that without delay. Mrs.
W. X. Coc was, sought for a donation
to hire a trained librarian, and Mrs.
Coe responded. Mrs. Pierce's resig-
nation was asked for although she
was giving complete satisfaction to
the patrons of the library. A trained
librarian was imported from Billings
to take Mrs. Pierce's position. The
trained librarian knew her business
and she, too, was entirely satisfactory.
But the trained librarian was not as
docile as her predecessor, and shortly
there was friction. Her resignation
was asked for. And now these ladies
who less than a year ago felt that the
Park County library could not wag
along another month without a
trained librarian, and discharged a
capable and needy woman to get one,
have appointed in her place a nurse
without any library training whatev-
err. Amt nature wonderful?
