Zbyszko Nearing End.

IF a heavyweight wrestler can
resemble a heroic figure,
- then Stanislaus Zbyszko is
that heroic figure. And he is
about to quit America, go home
to Poland and live the life of an
educated gentleman for the re-
mainder of his days.
For many years Stanislaus
Zbyszko held the European cham
pionship, both in catch-as-catch-
can and Greco-Roman style of
wrestling. He is now fifty years
old and, though still hard man
to beat, is showing his age. Be-
cause of this and also because he
has collected enough money by
his skill on the mat to live COM
fortably in Poland, he Is retiring.

The beginning Of the end for
Wally Schang came right here in
Washington last season when. in
getting away from the plate, he
stumbled and fell upon his bat
in such way as to injure his
groin severely. It looked for
time as though he might have to
endure a surgical operation, but
he pulled out satisfactorily and
completed the season. He was
out of the lineup, though, for
several weeks.
This spring Schang got a
couple of ribs denied down at
New Orleans. They had not
grown strong when the curtain
rose on the campaign, but the
veteran insisted on going behind
the bat. He is now on the in
jured list once more.
Steve O'Neill began slowing up
seriously last year, probably aid
ed by his bench duty with the
Cleveland Indians. Steve had
been a hard hitter until the 1922
season, when he began to fall in
that line. Glenn Wyatt was OBJ
tanned from the American Asso-
citation and Immediately took the
first string catcher's job away
from O'Neill, much as Muddy
Ruel took Patsy Gharrity's job
away from him last spring with
the Griffmen.
This season finds O'Neill smil-
ing quite as broadly behind the
bat for the Boston Red Sox. but
he is not today the catcher he
was three years ago. He was
never fast on his feet, but he is
slower now than ever. His arm
is still strong, but he has his
troubles with wild pitcher, be-
ing unable to move around be-
hind the bat. This may be his
last year in the big show.
Ray Schalk used to catch all
the games played by the Chi
cago White Sox. It used to be
ridiculous for the Sox to gather
minor league catchers each sea-
son, for they never were able to
crowd INTO the lineup, once the
season opened. It was always
that wonderful Ray Schalk be-
hind the bat. He was made of
steel, never firing and always
playing tip-top baseball.
Schalk began having his
troubles last season. Days
passed without his name in the
lineup, once Buck Grouse Joined
the White Sex, and it Is this
same Grouse who is destined to
supplant the once marvellous Ray
shortly.
They were a great trio
O'Neill. Schalk and Schang-but
the end Of their days approaches,
and approaches fast.

FIVE YOUTHS ARRESTED
FOR LEAVING CAMPFIRE

Clifford Spencer, ranger on North
fork, brought t. town today FIVE
lads who are touring thru the coun-
try and who left a campfire burn
ing near Namit creek on the North
fork road. When arraigned before
Judge Marston today they received
a fine of s25 and costs, amounting
to $3.50, which they claimed to
be unable to pay.
Harold Address, one of the boys,
takes the blame for the charge
against them. The boys are trav-
cling in two delapidated Ford cars
and claim % have no funds. Two
of them are looking for money from
home, but as yet have not received
it.
The campfire regulations must,
for the protection of the forests, be
rigidly enforced and the young men
who are old enough to travel across
the continent alone are surely old
enough to be held responsible for
such acts of carlessness as could
easily set the entire wooded area
on NOrthfork alame.

An exchange of shots is said to have

NEW BRIDGE In CANYON
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
To be Concrete Arch Structure
Costing $25,OOO and will be
Completed this Fall

The contract has been let and
construction work is already under
way IN the bridge which will span
the Shoshone river in the canyon
about six miles west of Cody which
will connect up the new road on
the south side of the river and
eliminate many of the steep grades
and sharp turns on what is now the
route up N%orthfork and to the
eastern gateway to Yellowstone
park. The contract calls for COM
pletion of the work within 100
working days.
The H. S. Croker Engineering
company was the successful bidder
for this work and already has one
of its superintendent, John S.
Means. on the job and work is 60
ing forward with a view to com
pleting the structure at the earliest
possible date. The bridge will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
1t is to be of the concrete arch
type, similar to the one which spans
the Yellowstone river at the canyon
in the park. The bridge will cross
the river at a slight angle and will
be SO feet above the normal flow
of the river and 159 feet in length,
with a 114-foot clear span in the
center connected at each end with
shorter spans Due to the fact that
the bridge is to be located at one
of the most scenic pieces of road
to Yellowstone park, the attract
iveness of the structure has been
given considerable thought by the
state highway department under
whose supervision it is being CON
structed and when finished it will
add much to the trip thru Shoshone
canyon.

Compared with Powell Service
In behalf of the town Attorney
Goppert secured the admission into
the hearing of the records of the
town of Powell, which municipality
is using current from the Shoshone
dam, generated through the agency
of the reclamation service. On
Tuesday afternoon the records were
submitted in evidence, but as Clerk
Cannady and his son, who do the
bookkeeping work were o advised
as to the data which would be
needed, were unable to bring into
the hearing any material evidence.
On Wednesday morning, however,
they were on hand with totals, facts
and figures and the report of the
state auditor, Leroye Joyce, who
went over their books at the expira-
ton of the former clerks term of
office. A summary of this evidence
discloses the fact that during the
operation of the Powell system, the
town has received a profit of $242,
figured IN receipts and disburse-
ments of the expenses of operation
and maintenance of the system. Ad-
ditional to this they have had to
pay a sun of $3.50, interest on
their investment, and to offset this
have received a street light service
which if figured at a slightly lower
rate than that paid by the town of
Cody would have amounted to $5,-
500.
The hearing was conducted in a
very able manner by Commissioner
Draper and his way of getting at
the facts regarding the rec ques-
ton and excluding all immaterial
matter was very noteworthy. The
orderly and businesslike manner in
which he insisted that the hearing
be conducted reflects great credit to
the board which he represents.

REV. R0BT. R. MARQUIS
GOES TO ALASKA POST
Presbyterian Sabbath School Mis-
sionary Given Responsible
Position in Northland

Rev. and Mrs. Robt. r. Marquis
and children left Tuesday for Men
ana, Alaska, where Rev. Marquis has
accepted the appointment of super
.intendent of Sabbath school work
in a vast territory of the Northland.
They were accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. l. c. Spencer, parents of Mrs.
Marquis, who will make their home
with the Marquis family in their
new location.
In securing the appointment Rev.
Marquis is accorded an honor and
recognition of service given. few
men at his age. He takes a posi-
ton which is usually given only to
a divine of many years experience.
His district at Nenana, which is
located about sixty miles from the
city of Fairbanks, and about the
center of the Alaskan territory, en-
braces a large area. The Sabbath
school superintendency has recently
been combined with the synodical
work and will prove a mans size
job for the young Sunday school
worker.
HeN. MdIquiS Is d graduate VI tut
Mccormick Theological seminary of
Chicago and came into Wyoming
about ten years ago and has devel-
oped into one of the most efficient
men in his line of endeavor in the
northwest. He has been connected
with the Presbytery of Sheridan
which embraces all the north cen
trail and northern part of Wyoming.
A few years ago he was instrument
al in forming a colony of home
steaders near Casper and after mar
rying Miss Luella Spencer they
made their home there a part of
each year.
In their departure from Cody the
town loses two of its finest type
citizens and the state loses a man
who has done much toward bring
ing the teachings of the Bible to
the younger folk of the state in its
most isolated districts. Mrs. Mar
quist has been an active worker in
community during her residence
here and her influence with the
younger people has been such as
will have a cry lasting effect. For
a number of years she was guardian
for a troop of Camp Fire girls ahd
had unusual success in her work.
She plays a very important role in
aiding her husband in his Sunday
school and missionary work.

DYNAMITE SAFE
AT BURLINGTON
BANK OF INLAND TOWN WAS
CRACKED BY ROBBERS
MONDAY NIGHT

Cody people experienced a real
thrill on Tuesday morning when it
was learned that the Burlington
State bank at Burlington, Wyom-
ing, had been entered by robbers
some time Monday night, and that
the safe had been cracked by the
use of nitro glycerine, and all the
cash and many valuable papers
taken. At last reports no clue has
been secured which would give any
intimation of who did the deed.
The robbers had gained entrance
to the bank building, broke the
lock on the vault door and almost
wrecked the safe with the high ex-
plosive used. 1t is said that such
a quantity of the nitro was used
that it almost wrecked the entire
vault. Something between $4,000
and $4,000 in cash was secured,
together with about $4,000 in liber-
ty bonds, all of which was covered
to the banking company by insur-
ance. The note case is also miss
ing, and this. together with other
valuable papers, will cause the bank
ing institution a great deal of work.
The note register will probably
offer a key to the number and size
of all outstanding notes, but in
many coses it will take much time
and effort to make the adjustments
and replace the paper.
This is the first bank robbery to
occur in the Big Horn basin for
many years. Chas. Hensley, cashier
of the Burlington bank, was for
merly engaged in the banking bus
mess in Cody and was identified
with the St~ockgrowers bank in Cody
at the time it was robbed by high
waymen several years ago.
