Breaks Both Arms in
Fall From Building

Scott Wilcox, who has a homestead
one mile EAST of Cody, will be laid up
for some time as the result of injuries
sustained in a fall Thursday afternoon
Of last week.
Mr.. Wilcox was erecting II small
building on his place and had put up
II scaffold on which he was standing,
when il gave away, letting him fall TO
the ground, and breaking both his
arms at the wrists. Otherwise he vas
unhurt. He was brought into Cody
Immediately and the bones Of his arms
were set by DR.. Trueblood. At last
reports he was getting along as well
~ could be expected.
II is very unfortunate that this ac-
cident should occur just at this time
of the year, when the farmers and
homesteaders arc getting ready to go
into the fields.

CODY ACREAGE TO
Be TESTED FOR
OIL AND GAS

That intensive oil operations are to
he carried on in the immediate vi
cinity of Cody this spring and summer
is brought to attention by the In
loading here of rigs and oil well sup
plies by the car loads during the past
few weeks.
The latest, and perhaps the most
interesting of recent activities is the
shipping in of a standard rig by the
P~ittsburg, Southwestern Oil Com
pany, of Winifred, Kansas, to be
erected on a site north of town, just
beyond the Shoshone river. The rig
has been transported to the site in
anticipation of having the work of
erection completed and the well spud-
ded in by the end of this week.
The Pittsburg, Southwestern Com
pany is n of the strongest com
panies operating in the Southwestern
states, and became Interested in the
Cody field through Mr.. w. o. Taylor,
who owns leases here. Mr.. Taylor is
extremely enthusiastic about the Cody
field and is optimistic in his opinion
of the possible results of this COM
pany's operations here.
The Getterman interests have about
completed preliminary work at their
site, and expect to start for the pay
dirt within a very short time.
The Ohio Oil Company has had a
representative in Cody for the past
week in an effort to secure a lease
in the acreage to be tested by the
Pittsburg, Southwestern company, as
well as leases in Oregon Basin and
other districts in the Cody vicinity.
A rotary rig has been shipped to
Cody which will operate south of
town. Several car loads of casing
have been unloaded for the company
that is to carry on the work, which
promises to be a positive test of the
district south of town.
With the general interest that is
being manifested by large companies
in the Oregon Basin field, it is reas-
enable to conclude that IN intensive
drilling campaign will develop here
before the end of the summer.

SANITARIUM
COMMITTEE GIVEN
UNANIMOUS SUPPORT

The plan for the erection of a sani-
tarium in Cody by the Fraternal Or
der of Eagles. for its sick and infirm
members is receiving unanimous sup
port from subordinate aeries through
out the United States, according to
letters on file in the office of Il. J..
McGinnis, secretary of the Eagles
Sanitarium Committee, subsidiary of
the Cody Aerie.
At the annual convention of Eagles
held in Denver last August, the re-
quest of the local committee that the
Grand Aerie authorize the investiga-
ton of the probable costs of CON
structing and maintaining such an in
stitution was f%avorably passed.
After several months Of inactivity,
the local committee has opened an
other plan of general publicity, which
promises to develop into definite ac-
ton at the annual convention of the
order to be held in Providence r.. l.
this summer.
Already letters are coming in by
the dozens in response to the local
committees campaign for support in
the undertaking, and not only do
these letters represent every state in
the union, but so far none have been
received that do not offer 100 per
cent support in the plan to put across
this worthy enterprise.
An exhaustive portfolio of letters
from aeries all over the country in
support of the proposition, such as is
now being prepared by Mr.. McGinnis,
will undoubtedly bring about a quick
decision, in favor of the erection of
the sanitarium, from the grand lodge
officers. e.,

FL0NZALEY'S FINAL
CONCERT OF SEASON
Chamber Music Program Cordially
Received by Crowd That
Braves Storm.

An enthusiastic audience gathered
last night at Central High School
to hear the third of the series of
programs OF chamber music by the
Flonzaley Quartet and was more than
repaid by one of the finest concerts
Of the season.
These musicians, whose artistry has
evoked the highest praise whenever
they have played. seemed determined
last night to give a little better
than their best in appreciation of the
audience, which had braved the DIS
comforts Of the worst storm of the
year.

that commands constant attention.
Intermixed are rapid. dainty pas
sages. firm fortes and legatos that
flow along as softly as a stream of

dante movement. was never allowed
to lag and the audience was carried
along entranced by the exquisite
music.
Passages of Ernest Bloch, played
next, are series of three landscapes
played from manuscript. The first,

pealing because of it's unusual COM

ORDER PYROTOL NOW
FOR EARLY DELIVERY

Unless the pyrotol cartridging
plant at Barksdale, Wis, can be
kept in operation at the contract
rate of 10000 pounds production a
day, there is danger that Minnesota
will lose part of its allotment of
100000 pounds of the explosive
for the year ending June 80, 1925.
Up to this time, says A. j. Schwan-
tes, land clearing specialist with the
university, Minnesota farmers have
ordered 916,600 pounds of pyrotol
or a little more than one-half of the
allotment.
The situation at Barksdale is ex-
planned by S. H. McCrory, chief of
the division of agricultural en-
cheering, u. S. Department of
Agriculture, in a letter to William
Bos, head of the division of agricul-
tural engineering, University of
Minnesota. Mr.. McCrory writes
that by about January Is all orders
now on hand at Barksdale will have
been filled and that there will be in
s rage approximately 100000
pounds of pyrotol. Should it be
necessary to shut down the pla, on
account of lack of orders, it will
mean a loss later of 10000 pounds
