CODY KIDS STAGE
PARADE AND CIRCUS

Cody had a real parade and circus
on Tuesday. Permission had been
secured from the city commission
for the use of the streets for par
ade purposes and with an augment
ed force of policemen to keep peace
and order the mammoth caravan
filed thru the streets Tuesday aft
ernoon on its way to the Cody pa
vilion which had been secured for
the event. There were animals of
all kinds in the long string of
marchers, and men and women of
almost every race and color. All
in all the parade and circus were
real successes and inasmuch as it
was the managers first attempt they
r entitled to a great deal of
credit.
Just who was really the general
issimo of the occasion is pretty
much in doubt. but from the import
ance displayed during the perform
ance it could be said that little
Ruth Ward had quite a bit to say
regarding the management. Fred
erick and Billie Carlow were of
course her able l~ieutenants and
proved of invaluable assistance
throughout the performance.
1t is said that $3.50 was realized
from the gate receipts alone.

WILL LET BIDS SOON
FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF RIVER HILL

Plans are going forward for the
improvement in the near future of
the hill which leads from Cody
down to the river bridge. The Tag
CART Construction plans to repay the
Cody club for some T. N. T. used,
by steam shovel work on this grade
and now that they are about thru
with the contract beyond the canyon
they state that they will o be
ready to do this work.
1t is hoped that other funds can
be made available for this work, so
that the road to the river can be
put in as good condition as possible.
The situation with regards to this
road at the present time is that it
is a part of the state highway park
road, but in another year, with the
opening of the south side road, the
highway department will abandon
the old road, and it will then have
to be maintained by the county once
more. Inasmuch as the highway
department plans to use the road
only a few months more, naturally
they are not willing to make any
great. Investment in it's improvement
at the present time.

From the Roney Garage at
Powell it has been learned that
the a driven by the Tanner
party which met its death i'm
ShOshone lake, was i'm a very
unserviceable condition when
it passed thru Powell Monday
morning and secured service at
one of the garages there. The
mechanic in charge urged Mr..
Tanner to replace three wheels
which we're worn out, and
which were in no condition to
make the trip through the
mountains. The garage man
stated that the wheels had
been wound with wire in some
places in an effort to tighten
the spOkes of the wheel, and
that the car was in a very de-
lapidated condition.
He urged the owner to al
low him to replace three of
the wheels with new ones, and
stated that he is not the least
surprised that they collapsed,
a he thinks they did, and is
confident that they were the
cause of the car leaving the
road and going into the lake.

COST OF
OPERATING co. SCHOOLS

In a statement which has been
compiled by Mrs. Minnie Ide, coun-
ty superintendent of schools, it
cost the county of Park 1910, 6OO.5S
to run its schools during the 1928
"a term, $129,4O6.60 of this amount
being raised by taxation and the re-
naming ~sS2,S42.82 resulting from
oil royalties, land income, forest
reserve fees, state aid for vocational
training and normal training, and
fines and forfeitures.
The report shows that the coun-
ty received ~$49,369.35 from oil
royalties; $~25,SO2.S1 from land in
come; $4,000 from the forest re-
serve; ~$3,230.81 from the state for
vocational training and normal
training courses given in the coun-
ty schools and $4,000 from fines
and forfeitures. The sum of 1892,
249.43 has been received during the
year for school purposes and $210,
60O.5S expended. leaving a total of
~S21,64S.S5 in the treasury of the
different school districts.
Mrs. Ide estimates the cost of the
education for the grades at from
$50 to $95 per year while the tut.
ton of the high school students
will run as high as $40. The cost
of keeping pupils in rural schools
varies from $50 to $3.50.
During the last school year five
schools have been standardized and
as many more will be ready for
standardization another term. One
new school, the one on upper Mar
quette creek, has been built during
the past year, and from a modern
standpoint rates very high. In
hiring teachers for the ensuing
school terms no teachers have been
employed as yet who have less than
a B certificate and few C certificates
were accepted during the term just
closed.
Statistics show that 1858 pupils
attended the grade and rural schools
of the county last year. 4O5 were
enrolled in the high schools and
219 o vocational courses such
as normal training and agricultural
work.

SPOTTED WOLFE KILLED
BY TRAIN NEAR BASIN

Spotted Wolfe, one of the Indian
chiefs with the AL. G. Barnes circus
which played in Powell last week,
was killed by a Burlington train
near Basin last week while enroute
from Thermopolis to Powell. The
ssody was found in a mangled con-
dition by E. A. Bond, road foreman
at Henderson. Spotted Wolfe's real
name was Andrew silva and he is one
of several mission Indians from Cal
ifornia, and not a government pro-
tege.
The body was interned at Basin.
The theory is that Spotted Wolfe
fell from the moving train, altho
there were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy.

FIVE PERSONS DROWN AS CAR
PLUNCES INTO SHOSHONE LAKE
Utah Tourist Car Leaves Road Beyond Dam and
Lands in Seventy-fve Feet of Water
Man and Wife and Son and Two
Cowley Children Perish

The first fatal accident which has ever happened in Sho-
shone canyon to tourists entering the Eastern Gateway to Vel
lowstone park occurred on Monday afternoon about three O'Clock
when a small truck with six passengers aboard plunged into the
deep waters of Shoshone lake, and all persisted except an eleven
year-old girl who managed to scramble to the shore. Those
who were drowned were Mr.. and Mrs. Junius Tanner and son,
Carl, nine years, of Clover, Utah, and Willard and Sarah WEIGH,
IL and 10 years, children of Mr.. and Mrs. John WEIGH of Cowley,
Wyoming. Leora Tanner, age IL, was the only member of the
party who lived to tell of the accident. All the bodies have
been recovered except that of the father whose body it is
thought is under the car. A rescue party is still at work and
efforts are being made to lift the car from the lake. The road
at the place where the accident occurred is wide enough for two
cars to pass easily and the only explanation for the accident is
that something broke on the old delapidated car which was being
driven
, 1924-07-30

According to the story told by little
Miss Leora Tanner, the sole sur
viver of the terrible tragedy which
made her an orphan and claimed
the life of her youngest brother,
the Tanner party had been to Wyo-
ming on business and had been Wis
iting with relatives in Cowley and
Penrose. Mrs. Tanner was a sister
of Mrs. John Welsh and Frank An
derson of Cowley and c. G.. Ander-
son of Powell. On Saturday morn
ing, accompanied by the. John
Welsh family, the Tanners started
home, intending to make the home
ward trip thru Yellowstone park.
The Welshes were to go up the
Northfork with them and when
leaving the dam were a short dis
lance ahead. The car in which the
Tanners were travelling was a Ford
truck with an ~improvised cab in
front and a tarp of canvas thrown
over he back. Mr.. and Mrs. Tan
ner were riding in the front seal
while the children rode in the back.
Leora says that her remembrance
is that everything became black and
she heard someone cry out, then
they went down and she found her
self in the water. The explanation
of this is that just before the car
went over the bank it passed thru
a tunnel which explains the dark
ness. The little girl, finding her
self in the water and a little way
out from shore, padded to where
she could stand and later assisted
in pulling the body of her mother
to the shore. She stopped the
first car which came along within
a few moments and everything was
done to rescue the party.
Leora stated hat when she was
able to look about after getting t.
shore that the car was still floating,
the engine seemingly to be down.
with the rear of the car level with
the surface, and that gradually it
sank to the bottom. The bodies of
the Welch children were recovered
Monday evening, and hat of Carl
Tanner found Monday morning. Eff
forts to find the car and the body of
Junius Tanner hav so far failed,
and a party from Cowley is expect
ed today to relieve the crew which
has been working at the scene of
the tragedy for the last two days.
MI. and Mrs. Tanner are people
about fifty years of g and nave
resided at Glover, Utah, about fifty
miles from Salt Lake City, for many
years. They have extensive land
holdings there. They are survived
