which he declared that DR.. Manlove's
action was an offense against the
peace and dignity of the State of Wy

Mr.. Newton was the first witness
and the substance of his testimony
was that he was in the postoffice
chatting peaceably with Otto koenig
when DIR. Manlove came swinging
toward him, applying such names to
him as he did not care to suliy his
lips by repeating. The Doctor then
made a pass at his face which he
ducked, and jumping behind the coun-
ter exclaimed: "You didn't hit me,
did you!" He then went out and the
Doctor followed, still using language
not commonly heard in polite society,
Later. he discovered that he had been
hit in the shoulder.
Otto Koenig was called and testi-
fled that he had seen the blow but did
not know that il landed. He admitted
that the Doctor had said bad words
while making the attack upon the
editor.
Mrs. Juanita Lens testified to the
had words and that she ~skedaddled.
DR.. r. S. Moody said he heard the
bad words but did not linger to listen.

cooperative MARKETING
ASSN FORMED BY WOOL.
GROWERS OF B!GH0RN BASIN
Many Important Sales Made During Convention
Thermopolis 10 Be S~heepmen's Next
Meeting Place

The convention of Wyoming Wool
Growers held in Cody on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week was
a highly successful affair as regards
results. While the attendance was not
so large as upon previous meetings it
is regarded as the most satisfactory
of any meeting eve held by the Wy
oming Wool Growers Association.
The fact that the Forestry Service
held its conference at the same time
was a particularly happy circum-
stance, as it enabled the members of
these two bodies to get together and
discuss matters pertaining to grazing
and other subjects of mutual interest
with profit to each, and which result
ed in a better understanding all
around.
The subject of cooperative market
ing was one of the most interesting
and important topics discussed and
emphasized the necessity for organ
iEation and the wool growers stand
Jig together. A number of sheepmen
present signed up, thereby agreeing
to sell through the National Wool
Warehouse in Chicago. This is an
organization owned by western wool
growers and is rapidly becoming a
factor in the market.
Vice President Wight of the or
ganization made an instructive talk
on the subject, urging cooperative
marketing. 1t is expected that the
Wyoming producers will have a CO.
operative marketing association per-
fected within two weeks.
Byron Wilson, secretary of the
Wyoming Wool Growers, and looked
upon as the Invest wire in the associ-
alton, told of its workings and what it
is accomplishing.
P. f. Markham, Dan Macdonald
and other local sheepmen joined the
association aftey attending the meet
ings, while others who have belonged
but have not been active members had
their interest awakened through at
tenIing the convention and being
bro ght to a realization of what the
association is doing for the sheepmen.
Lee Simonson, of the Paddock
ranch volunteered to advance the
due of any broke sheepman who
wanted to Join but who did not feel
that he could afford to do so. Mr..
Smonson also invited the members to
be his guests next year if the associ-
alton. would hold its convention in
Ihermopolis. 1t was accordingly
voted to hold the next convention in
the Hot Springs town.
ElCny important sales were made
during the meeting and calls were re-
ceived from Billings, Casper, Fort
Collins, Colo, and other places con-
tracing this years lamb crop at
prices around 10 cents for fall de-
livery.
Joe Hanlon, of Billings, bought all
the Greybull Corporations lambs.
Erwin Rothwell, of Thermopolis,
bought 5000 ewes from Henry Sayles.
I. A. Lewis, of the Penrose Sheep
Co., bought 5000 ewes through Joe

years. This huge sum is only a small
part of the loss, and when there is
added to it the cost of maintaining a
fleet of ships and a standing army of
prohibition agents and high salaried
officials, it is not so hard to figure
out why America groans with its bur-
den of taxes.

aboard, with an estimated value of

On March list the House Appropri-
atoms subcommittee allotted an ad-
ditional 1855, 9S9 for the coast
guard service whose job it is to pre-
vent the smuggling of liquor into the
United States. Commander Root, of
the service, stated before the commit
tee hat 100000 cases of liquor was
struggled in monthly on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. There was no report
on the amount coming in over the
Canadian and Mexican borders and on
the Pacific coast.

Arrangements were made here to-

Navy and coast guard service to
broadcast the North American News
pa per Alliances offer OF a reward of
1000 for definite information as to
the fate of the world flyers, Maj.
Frederick L. Martin and Sergt- Alva

Secretary of War Weeks expr essed
his appreciation OF the alliances offer
and directed that full facilities OF
the Alaskan cable be utilized to
broadcast news of the reward. He
also requested the Navy Department
to use its more effective radio IA
cilities for the same purpose. Sec
retary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur
has stated his willingness to COOP
crate in every way possible. The
search for the missing aviators has
narrowed down to the snow-incum-
bered wilderness between Chignik
Lake and Port Heiden. This terri
tory is almost impossible for white
men and unexplored except by the
Indians and a few native trappers.
1t is hoped that the alliance reward
will spur on these men, who know the
waste, to a thorough and dnigent
search.
