SHOOTING STARS.

The Flock.

The Flock.
There's a rustic Of trees in the high
land,
A billowing breeze on the bay,
Where Nature draws near us with
greeting to cheer us
And bids all our cares drift away.
Yet. disdaining the seas or the sky
land,
We wander with purpose so proud
To jostle and hurry and argue and
worry.
We love to get into a crowd.
We pack the old grip and we hasten.
A troublesome trip we will start.
We'd rather go fishing and still we
keep wishing
To play in the turmoil some part.
II from town We could slip it would
chasten
Our mood, but it isn't allowed.
We don a fresh collar and hustle and
holler.
We love to get into crowd.

POWELL NATIONAL BANK FAILS

Slow Assets and Depleted Reserve is Explanation
Many Depositors are Hard Hit by the Fail
ure-Some Cody Folk Lose Savings

The news that the Powell National
Bank did not open its doors Friday
morning came as a shock to Cody
and to Powell folk living here who
are depositors. 1t was unexpected,
as of the two Powell banks the Pow
ell National was believed to be the
stronger.
1t closed voluntarily after a meet
ing of the directors with J. E. Dow
ling the president. Little a be
learned about the real condition of
its affairs at present.
The national bank examiners are
now going over the books and moth
ing definite will be known until they
have concluded their examination.
An auditor for a commission firm who
looked over the books said that the
bank a not in as bad shape as at
first reported. 1t is stated that slow
assets and a depleted reserve were
the cause of the closing.
Mr.. Bowling is highly regarded in
the Powell community and many de
posters have faith that it will come
out all right ultimately.
IL vas IL popular Dank with a large
following and many persons are
caught who can i'll afford to lose their
savings. The Powell people have the
sympathy of the Cody folk in this
calamity, as they realize that that sec
ton has had more than its share of
hardships and misfortunes.
1t has been rumored for some time
that both banks were having a hard
struggle but it was believed they
would weather the storm until local
became more prosperous.
The amount of $4,000 was rushed
from Cody to the First National in
anticipation of a run by nervous de-
positors when the Powell National

400 FEET FROM
CANYON ROAD

A sickening accident which so
haunts the men who witnessed it that
they are reluctant to discuss it; occur
red in the canyon last Thursday
where the NJ. J.. Kerney Construction
Company are widening the hill to the
dam.
Two fine horses hitched to a boul-
der were dragged ove the edge of
a 400 foot precipice and killed on the
rocks below.
The team, weighing some 400 lbs.
each, belonged to Blen Holman and
were driven by John Albert who. was
hauling rocks down the Hill to n little
gap in the bank some three hundred
-irds below the dam. Here they
We c rolled over the edge to be rid
of them.
A chain was factened around this
boulder which weighed close to 1000
pounds. 1t got TO rolling on the
steep hill and went around the horses
and o yer the edge of the precipice.
The horses hung on with every
ounce of strength they had in them,
straining and digging in their toes to
keep a foot hold while Albert chung
to their bits in n desperate attempt
to help them hold it. Other men
sprang to their assistance and held
them by whatever they could get their
hands on.
The weight of the boulder hanging
over the edge was too. great for the
combined strength of the men and
horses 1t pulled them over, and with
a last look of agonized appeal they
dropped 400 feet to the rocks below.
There was nothing left Of the har-
ness to salvage, though n swingle
tree was unbroken. The chain was
still on the boulder.
The accident deeply affected h

PROPERTY OWNERS IN FAVOR
SEWERAGE SYSTEM At ONCE
Willing to Pay Cost for Sake of Convenience and
Improved Sanitation-An Anxious to be Rid
of Cess-Pool Nuisance

A hasty canvass among property owners reveals the fact that
they are almost unanimous in the opinion that a sewerage system
of some sort is tn. imperative and crying need of the Town. Some
favor a municipal trunk line and disposal plant only which permits
OF the property owners putting in sewers and hitching on to it when
ready. while others favor a sewerage system for the whole town, to
he paid for by assessments against the property and by a small mu-
ncipal tax.
Nearly all property owners feel that a sewerage system besides
being convenient and sanitary, is economy in the end, as cess-poos
three years cost nearly or quite as much as the sewerage system
which will last for all time.
Cody is rapidly taking its place a S one of the big tourist towns
of the West and the need OF a sewerage syster with the attendant
conveniences increases each year.
Th opinions and viewpoints of property owners upon this i'm
public question are herewith presented:
