TEAMS OF P0WELl-RED LODGE
Home Boys Beat Alfalfas 1910 and Crack Team
of Southern Montana By Score of b. ,
Win Seven Straight Games -

her 1914. Red Lodge failed to mark
in this frame.
In the second half Cody's team
work was far superior to that Of Red
Lodge and their basket shooting also
proved they were the better of the
two teams. Cody's defense was an OBJ
stacle which Red Lodge had evidently
not planned on, for the ywere at u
loss as to how to penetrate it through
the entire last half. Their total allot-
ment 70 rthis half was three points
and Cody's Is. The final score was
25-7.
Coach Smith of Red Lodge says
that if Wyoming's basketball is all
like the brand Cody plays, Wyoming
is far superior to Montana in this
sport. He had no alibies for his de-
feat but said Cody had the best team.
Warren Perry played stellar ball in
both the Powell and Red Lodge
games and featured leaving the floor
and playing so far above his oppo-
nents' heads that it was impossible to
check him. His shooting eye was
working well in both games. He
made baskets from every corner OF tn
floor, and his guards found il useless
to cover any one certain part of the
floor TO stop him. Old "neversweat"
made several baskets with his loop
side shot in the Powell game but had
hard luck connecting up in the Red
Lodge game. "Neversweat" is "A name
given Grin Kepford by Milward Simp-
son, who has watched him play several
times lately. Simpson says he lever

keeps himself in excellent physical
condition which is the secret 10 his
non-perspiring. Grin fought hard ev-
cry minute of each game and deserves
much credit for the very few baskets
made by both Powell and Red Lodge.
Ed Brown vas apparently very re-
luctant about having one of the Red

BAD BOOKKEEPING MAY EXPLAIN
SHORTAGE FORMER COUNTY TREAS

The case of the State of Wyoming
VS.. r. D.. Livingston, former county
treasurer of Park County, who has
been held in the county Jail for al
legged shortage of $1400..41, is being
tried this week in district court. The
trial began on Monday and is still in
progress at this writing. 1t is ex-
pected that the case will be given to
the jury this afternoon.
This case has attracted a great deal
of attention and is being watched with
interest as to the outcome. A num-
Der of witnesses have appeared for
both sides. For the state, Byron S.
HUE, state examiner, and his assist
ant, Leroy Joyce, have been the main
witnesses. Evidence disclosed the
fact that the former treasurer had
made many clerical errors of both a
debit and credit nature, and while a

Lawmakers with backbones like
sticks of wet macaroni who have al
lowed themselves to be intimidated
by the goat getting fanatics, may
stiffen up a little with the knowledge
that the several organizations op-
posed to the Volstead act have com
bined and can now swing 5,OOO,O 900
votes.
This is a result of the recent "Face
the Facts Conference" held in Wash
ington, when, among other organiza-
tions, the American Federation of
Labor lined up for the battle. AS a
result of this conference, a joint legis-
lative committee opened headquarters
in the New Willard hotel to make an
aggressive and determined fight on
the Volstead act.
What with all the investigating
that is now going or, and more in the
offing, it is little wonder that the ev-
eryday citizen who sets considerable
store by the Golden Rule and en-
deavors to live so that he can get
along peaceably with his conscience,
is growing pretty doggone sceptical
about things in general down there in
Washington. Investigations in the
Reclamation Service, Investigations
in the Veterans Bureau, investiga-
tons of the transactions of the for
mel secretary of the Interior, de-
mands for the investigation of the
Air Service and the federal prohibit
ton bureau, until we speculate as to
where they get enough men who are
not being Investigated to do the in
vestigating.

dence has been produced to date 10
show that Mr.. Livingston had at
tempted to cover up the shortage.
Poor bookkeeping appears to be the
cause for the difficulty in which Mr..
Livingston now finds himself.
At the time of Mr.. Livingston's res
ignation he made application to the
county clerk for an audit of his books
ST that if his accounts did not balance
he could and was willing to correct
any shortage that might appear. The
county failed to have the audit made
and Mr.. Livingston moved his family
to Canada where he bought a farA.
During the reconstruction period after
the val he lost the property and
moved to Shelby, Montana, where he
was arrested for embezzlement of the
funds of Park County, Wyo., in June
of last year. ,

(ORION NEFF)

The old Powell jinks was broken
last Friday night when Cody high
trounced the boys from the Alfalfa
city 1910. Powell has held the win
ming hand over Cody for three years
in both basketball and football.
Powell has a fast team this year
and the game was all speed from start
to finish. Cody took the lead from
the beginning and held several points
to the good throughout the entire
game, the first half ending 1913.
Powell came back stronger in the
second half but was unable to over
take the lead which Cody had piled up
in the first half.
Powell has the ~cleanest team Cody
has played this season. This is due to
their coach, Lester Crawford, who is
one of the most popular coaches in
the state and who is a real man of
cleane habits himself and a lover of
true craftsmanship.
On Saturday night following the
Powell game the people Of Cody wit
messed the fastest game of basketball
played on a local floor in many years,
Red Lodge, up to this date, had play
ed nine games with the fastest of
Montana's teams and had been de
feated but once. Hardin, Mont, won
from the Red Lodge quint on the
Hardin floor by a close score of 11-S,
Hardin has not been defeated this
year., so from the dope Red Lodge is
one of Montana's fastest teams. This
gives us n better idea of the ability
of u little team after defeating
Montana's fastest team with such a
score as 25-7.
Red Lodge started the game with
such speed and classy team work that
il looked as though the Cody boys
were in for "A trimming. They work
ed the ball through Cody's defense
for two field goals in the first quar-
ter and Cody was unable to connect
with the hoop for a field goal in this
period. One free throw was made by
the locals and the score stood al in
favor Of Red Lodge ut the end of the
first quarter. BY this time the Cody
lads saw that they were up against
the fastest team they had played this
season or any season previous for
some years back. They got their
team work and basket shooting or
ganized In the second quarter and
when the whistle blew for the end OF
the half they held n lead Of six points
over their opponents. The wnt

CODY DELIGHTED W|THNEW
MODEL STATU OF BUFFALO
- BILL BY MRS WHITNEY

Photographs of the new model for
the statue of Buffalo Bill by Gertrude
Whitney have been received and it is
safe to say that it is an improvement
of nearly fifty percent over the old
model. While the position of the
horse is practically the same, except
for the head and neck, it now has the
wiry, muscular look of the western
horse instead of the plump, round ap-
pearance which the local committee
criticized in the first model.
The position of the figure is now
correct, with the leg thrown forward
instead of back and is altogether bet
ter in every way. Details have been

TUNNEL CAVES IN

Machinery Destroyed
Loss Will Run Into
Thousands

Several hundred feet of tunnel
caved in at the H. and o. coal mine
last Monday night. 1t filled the en-
trance so that the result would have
been fatal if any men had been inside.
Otto Nelson, Clarence Young and
Jimmy Green had been at work in
the mine only a short time before it
happened.
Young stated that for several hours
before the accident occurred he had
noticed small pieces of rock falling,
which was unusual, and had remarked
about it to his helper. They COM
pleted the shift and returned to the
surface and retired for the night.
The cavein occurred some time dur
ing the night and was discovered as
the men were entering the mine.
This will no doubt close down the
mine for the balance of the winter
and summer as a new entry will have
to be driven. Much valuable machin-
cry has been destroyed and lost, and
Mr.. Nelson's loss will reach well up
in the thousands.

SEARCH WARRANT

CAREY'S COUNSEL
Ellis Asks Judge Metz to
Ouash Motion-Wa
rant Used Twice

In the Ease of the state VS.. A. Z.
Carey for violation of the liquor law,
E. H. Ellis, of Greybull, attorney for
the defendant, asked that the motion
be quashed upon the grounds that the
information does not state facts fur
nishing sufficient grounds for cause
of action.
Mr.. Ellis on Saturday afternoon
presented a very strong argument to
the court in support of his contention
that the affidavit of the prosecuting
attorney was defective in that it
stated a conclusion and no facts,
either directly or indirectly. He de-
clared that as the affidavit said car or
cars of the defendant, the Nash car
confiscated by the officers was not
properly described.
Mr.. Ellis also contended that since
the a was seized in Greybull, the
search warrant already had perform
ed its function and was therefore void.
1t appears that on the morning of
June 25th, Sheriff Loomis searched
the Nash car belonging to Carey in
the Park garage by serving the search
warrant upon George f. Baker, an
employe. Then, in Greybull, after the
killing of "Scotty" Sherrin, he used

Sir Archibald Reid, the eminent
English biologist, said recently in a
scholarly address upon the subject of
prohibition, which he treated from the
scientific viewpoint:
when governments try to enforce
prohibition they enter into a fight
against nature in which they are al
ways beaten in the long run. They
cannot give a mortal law immortal
permanence, and the longer their tenn
porary success the more disastrous is
their ultimate failure"
The Fourteenth Amendment, which
gives the negro the vote, is openly
and continually violated in the South,
as everyone knows, but we have yet
to hear of any of those who declare
so v~ehemently that the constitution
must be upheld and all laws enforced,
advocating the sending of the army
and the navy into the southern states
to see that the negro has his vote
counted at the polls.
William H. Anderson, state super
intendent of the Anti Saloon league
of New York, was sentenced to Sing
Sing prison last week for classifying
the books of the League. He will
spend from n to two years in that
institution. In sentencing him the
judge declared that his crime was de-
liberate and aggravated by perjury
during the trial. 1t was proved that
the erstwhile high-class man of the
Anti-Saloon league had been splitting
commissions with a solicitor of funds
for the purpose of carrying on the
Leagues work of assisting in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law.
If this keeps up it looks as if they
would have to build new wings on
jails and penitentiaries to accommo-
date the ~bootleggers and prohibition
agents who are already crowding the

Jimmy Turf" NOT GUILTY
Of STEALING OE'SCAYUSE
Sorrel Gelding Wears Its Original Brand, Opinion
of Local Stockmen-Testimony of States
Witnesses Help Clear Defendant

The close net which the state was winding around Jimmy Turf,
charged with horse-steahng," proved to be a flimsy contraption, and
the Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty on the first ballot after
little Or no argument. The four days legal battle over a range cayuse
which might bring $40 or $12 at public auction and which will cost the
county approximately $1,000, ended Saturday afternoon when the
states case had collapsed like a house of cards and E. J. Goppert's
thnk-works seemed to stop abruptly.
1t appeared gs;as to to the , spectators to who crowded the courtroom from
men familiar with brands and branding, that there was a large ebony
hued African somewhere in the wood-pie.
1t was a matter of much speculation among those who heard the
evidence as to whether, as the defense insinuated, the reward of
$1,000 offered by w. r. Ce for information leading to the appre-
hension of a person or persons engaged in stealing his horses and
cattle, had anything to do with the testimony offered; whether the
case had been inspired by a desire for revenge on the part of a vim
ddive and INSCRIPTIONS woman; or whether it was a series of
rather extraordinary but honest mistakes upon the part of the states
witnesses which led to the bringing of the action by the prosecuting
attorney, E Goppert.

g of the action by the prosecuting
terested in the operation and looked
through the corral, the girls action
first calling her attention to what was
happening. She hid not mention the
occurrence however until she went to
Mr. Goppert to get a divorce some
time afterward. Mrs. Price swore
that Jimmy had told her he had
chosen the reverse E B as his brand
for the reason hat the z ] could be
so easily changed to a reverse E B.
Mrs. Price was followed by Lee
Moore of Casper, secretary of the
state livestock commission. Mr..
Moore swore that he had been famil-
lar with brands and branding for As
years. In his opinion there was no
question but that the brand had been
changed from a z ], which was still
very distinct, to a reverse E B. Mr..
Moore gave the impression of SINGER
ity and was a convincing witness.
Things were looking dark for James
and Rawlins did not look more than a
million miles away when Mr.. Moore
observed casually that it was neces-
sary for an applicant for a brand to
submit several. and that he had look
ed over Jimmy's application, which
was allowed in 1916, and found that
he had submitted five or six brands.
He had asked for a reverse E and
straight b. 1t would have been i'm
possible to change a z ] into this
brand if it had been given him, Mr..
Moore declared. Instead of this brand,
they gave him the one he has at pres
ent, and he had nothing whatever to
do with the choice of a reverse E B as
his brand, Moore stated.
The gloom promptly lifted in Mr..
Tufts vicinity, and Mrs. Prices tes-
timony on this point was appraised at
its proper value.
The court then ordered the brand
clipped, and when the jury returned
from inspecting the brand after the
hair had been removed, they were
smiling broadly.
Mr.. Bailey, the states expert, was
recalled to the stand and admitted
that the brand now looked as if it
had been put on with a stamp iron and
not with a running iron as he had at
first thought.
MUTT" Wallace was called by Mr..
! Goppert and as a witness proved to be
all that his name implied. In fact, be-
fore he left the stand he seemed in
imminent danger of receiving u swift
kick from His Honor to accelerate his
departure.
1t developed during his testimony
that not only was Mutt" an accom-
plished letter writer but had played
both ends against the middle. He
wrote to Jimmy from Casper after a
quarrel with Mrs. Turf Price, declar-
inc that he understood his feelings

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
EfEhty-FOurth Article.
GETTING RID OF LIBERTIES.

In an address to the investment
bankers at Cleveland not long ago
a United States Treasury official
pointed out what seemed to him to be
the objections to advising Liberty
bondholderS to exchange their bonds
for other securities giving higher
yield. He put emphasis upon the
unfortunate consequences of break
ing up the great mass of investors
in Government securities so pains
takingly built up during the war.
Now, as a matter of fact there are
very few reputa bic investment bank
ers who suggest the sale of Liberty
bonds to their clients. Almost In
variably the initiative comes from
the other side. 1t is the individual
investor who insists upon higher
return than his Government bonds
give him, and sometimes he can ad-
vance good reasons why a larger in
come is essential
The problem that confronts the in
yestment banker, then, is whether it
would not be wiser to suggest some
highly conservative securities than
tc allow the investor unguided to ex-
change his Liberties for some specu-
lative or even worthless stocks.
The trouble is that unadvised the
average investor wants to jump from
the security of a United States Gov
eminent obligation, with it's small
but sure return, to a stock or bond
with an abnormally high yield. / do
not know how to explain this trait
of human nature, but l have had II
illustrated over and over again in
my experience with investors. 1t Is
the same when they are planning 10
withdraw money from the savings
bank With few exceptions. they can
see no middle ground between and
6 per cent. And yet nothing is more
certain than that when one feels he
must sell his Government bonds or
withdraw his money from the bank
he ought to stop with 5 or 6 per cent
at the most.
So it is my opinion that the in
vestment banker is fulfilling his mis-
son when he suggests conservative
securities to those who are deter
mined upon disposing of their hold
ing of Liberties. One word more to
the investor. Before you sell your
Liberty bonds ask yourself the ques-
tion why it is that some one else
is willing to pay what seems to you
such a high price for these best of
all Investments.
