BOYS TRIM
THE CODY TEAM
(ORION NEFF)

The Cody High School basketball
team suffered their first defeat of the
season last Thursday night at the
hands of the Basin cagers. The locals
had held their record clean up to this
date, but the tables turned in the last
game, with Basin two points in the
clear when the last whistle blew. The
dope was somewhat upset after this,
as Cody had defeated Basin three
weeks previous on the latter's floor
by several points.
The score of the last game proves a
rather freakish sort of combat. A
tally this low is seldom heard of in
basketball.
The defense of both teams was fair
ly good but their o~ffensives were
crude. Neither team displayed any
pep or enthusiasm and the entire
game was slow and lifeless. Basin
and Cody both are capable of much
better basketball and we especially
hope our boys snap out OF it in the flu
ture and fail to put up another exhi-
bition like the last.
Jones of Basin was probably the
most outstanding player on either
side. His floor work was fair and he
was also high point man with two
field baskets to his credit.
Warren Perry made a field goal for
Cody in the first two minutes of play
but failed to connect during the bal
ance of the game. His old running
mates, Kepford and Wilson, were en-
tirely off both in team work and in
shooting. These three men whose Of
fensive have been the feature of all
other games, made an unbelievable
poor showing against Basin. The
guards, ICELAND and Brown, were also
slow and pepless. They managed to
help hold the score low, but their OPP
ponents came through for several
good shots which ordinarily these two
men would have checked.
Bob McGinnis substituted for Will
son in the second half and started out
fairly fast. He soon became wound
in the spell which overhung the team
and slowed down to the gait of the
others.
Morris, Nelson and Haynes we're in
uniform but did not play.

charlie ANDERSON Wins $780,
600 DAMAGE suit brought BY
THE Widow OF VS.. COLI ms
Fatal Automobile Accident Not Due to Reckless
Driving Judge Instructs Jury to Render
Verdict of Not Guilty

The damage suit for 100000
brought against Charles w. Anderson,
an old time cattleman of Hot Springs
county, by the widow of w. S. Collins,
a Basin attorney, ended on Saturday
afternoon at the close of argument by
counsel when Judge Metz instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict of not
guilty, which they did without leaving
the jury box.
The case which was brought from
Birhorn county on a change of venue,
has been pending since 1916 when the
Basin attorney died as a result of in
iuries received from the overturning
of an automobile which Mr.. Anderson
was driving. Mrs. Collins charged
that the accident was due to negh-
gence and reckless driving on the part
of Mr.. Anderson, and started suit
through her attorney, Thomas Hyde
of Basin. She was represented here
by f. E. Enterline of Casper, c. A.
Earring of Basin and d. E. HOLSTER
of Cody, X. b. West and Thos. Hyde,
Of Basin were attorneys for the de-
PENDANT.
The case started at 9 o'clock Thurs
day and it was rather plain from the
beginning that the plaintiff had slight
foundation upon which to base a dam
age suit, and there is little doubt but
that the verdict would have been the
same without the Courts instructions.
1t developed from the evidence that
after a political meeting in Burling-
ton Mr.. Collins asked to ride home
with Mr.. Anderson, stating that the
driver of the car in which he had
gone to Burlington went too fast to
suit him.
Mr.. Collins accordingly took the
seat beside MI. Anderson and there
was no evidence to show that he at
any time protested that Mr.. Anderson
was driving too fast or found fault
with the car.
When called to the stand Mr..
Anderson told a straight forward
story which was borne out in every
particular by the reliable men who

Judge Metz Easy On
Old Man Guilty of
Violating Liquor Law

j. NJ. Baldwin, of Meeteetse, Wyo.,
plead guilty to violation of the Vol
stead Act when arraigned before
Judge Metz on February IL and was
sentenced to 60 days in Jail and a fine
of 5000 and costs. The judge remit
ted the Jail sentence and 500 of the
fine pending good behavior of the de-
PENDANT and a promise that he would
not again violate the prohibition law.
Baldwin, who is an old man, and at
one time a prosperous rancher and
stockman of the Upper Greybull coun-
try, was arrested in Meeteetse some
time ago by Sheriff Loomis for max
ing and selling moonshine whiskey.

''GOP" ADMlRES
NERVE OF HIS
STOOL. pigeon
Praises Courage Of Hire
ling Who Betrayed His
Friend of 80 Years

The public was enlightened as TO
the County Attorneys idea of
courage on Tuesday morning when
Charlie Manning pleaded guilty to the
charge of possessing, transporting
and selling liquor, for which he was
fined $3.50 and costs, and 60 days in
Jail, the Jail sentence afterward being
RENTED.
II appears that Andy Pennoyer of
Meeteetse was the stool pigeon who
obtained the evidence against Man
ming, and in this connection Mr.. Cop
pert stated that he was the only per
son he could find who had the nerve
to act in this capacity.
Manning and Pennoyer had been
friends for 30 years and the former,
while herding sheep, had cooked for
and fed Pennoyer frequently at his
sheep wagon.
Therefore when he met Pennoyer
on the street in Cody and Pennoyer
said his stomach was not feeling right
and asked him to get a pint of
whiskey to put in his suitcase TO take
on the train with him, Manning got
it for him and received in payment Il
marked five dollar banknote loaned
by Mr.. Goppert to his stool pigeon for
the purpose.
The county commissioner after
ward refused to refund this money to
Mr.. Goppert who sued them and re-
covered his $500 along with 2s cents
interest.
Banks and individuals in Cody and
Meeteetse are holding Il good many
bad checks written by the stool pig
con whose courage inspired Mr.. Cop
pert's eulogy and il is understood that
n warrant is now out for his arrest
in this connection. II the Manning
case had gone TO trial and he had APP
peared ms n witness his testimony
would have been %impenched by Man
ning's counsel.

AMATEUR HOLD
UP ON TRIAL
FOR GUN-PLAY
Lost Money in Crooked
Poker Game Likely to
Be STAIRS Defense

Hlckies poker, rummy and freeze
out figure extensively in the case of
the state against Howard B. Starr,
who is being tried for separating
Verne Spencer from his bankroll in
Joe and Johns Place on the morning
of the first of February.
This is a case which looks as if the
parties concerned might better have
taken off their coats and settled it be-
IN the barn than to have brought it
into court.
The defendant, Starr, is a tall, slim,
harmless looking youth making a good
appearance and n apt to find favor
with the jury. He is said by his neigh
Dors to be excitable and hot-tempered
and given to getting even"
1t is evident that his defense is to
be that he lost his money in a crooked
poker game in the back room of the
pool hall and made his gun play to
recover il.
Each side exhausted its challenges
before a jury was secured to try the
amateur hold-up. While examining
the talesmen "%Injun Joe" Mathieson
produced a burst Of laughter from
the Court and spectators when
IN answer to n question as to
back, he replied:
That's the way I always fingered"
Mr.. Goppert outlined the states
ease in a brief statement of the facts
ne expected to prove.
About 4:30 on the morning of Feb
ruary l. Starr went into the White
Lunch cafe and took a 80 automatic
belonging to Mrs. Shrine from a
drawer in her desk, telling Harold

military forts, whiskey was absolutely
taboo. So far n possible 1t was kept
away from the soldiers, but, strange
as it may seem, the soldiers quite
often got n supply when the nearest
source was sometimes thousands of
miles distant-which goes to show the
difficulties Of prohibition under the
most favorable conditions.
