Dor Day, where Henry Sayles and
Josh Deane shared the honors as host
and cook at the function which is
Meeteetse's specially. namely, barbe-
cues. Old time hospitality and friend
Illness were the distinguishing fea-
lures of this unique gathering, and
everyone enjoyed and made the most
Of the occasion. Friends who had
not seen each other for years met to
exchange ideas and "reminiscences
and it was altogether the most success
full affair which the old cow-town on
the Greybull river has seen. since the
homesteader commenced to cut up
III rangs and reformers took the JOY
out of life generally.
The barbecue, under the personal
supervision of Josh Deane. famous
barbecuist and Indian fighter, was
what might be termed a bowling sue
cess. The steer, a 100 pound %critter,
was donated by Mr.. Henry Sayles. II
was cooked in true frontier style, and
when served with potatoes, pickles,
coffee and all the trimmings, it was
a feast fit for a king. The beef was
cleaned up down to the last ounce
snd the bones polished. From the
looks of satisfaction and content on
Lthe faces of those in the crowd, il
(eoai be judged everyone had plenty
The celebration afforded a splen-
did opportunity for the political can
didates of the county to mingle with
the multitude and they were there
almost to a man. Some splendid
talks were made by aspirants to the
more important offices of the coun-
~.
The baseball game and bucking af-
ter the barbecue entertained the
crowd for the remainder of the day,
with concerts by the Cody band
s~andwiched in. In the evening a big
dance was given which was enjoyed
far into the morning hours.
The credit for the celebration IS
due the GreybulI Corporation under
the leadership of Henry Sayles. En-
Outraged by the success of Mondays
affair they have decided to make it
an annual event, which, no doubt, will
meet with the hearty cooperation and
support of the entire county.
