In Auto Smash Up

While Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Triplett,
of Cody, were driving into Greybull
in their Gray roadster, they met with
an accident which could have very
easily been serious.
They were driving up the Greybull
hill, when the car ahead of them, a
Haynes driven by a man who gave
his name as Lewis and address as
Houston, Texas, stopped in the mid

halt and ran into the other car. Mr..
Triplett's car was badly damaged and
he and his wife somewhat bruised
and shaken up.
The driver of the Haynes a
agreed to go to the garage and set
tie up for the damages done to the
Gray car, but failed to do so until APP
pretended by authorities in Cody and

Former Enterprise
Editor Visits Cody

1t seems as though about one-third
of the people making the trip through
the Park this season and stopping in
Cody, had, at some time or other been
connected in some way with the Cody
Enterprise.
The latest to drop in and make
himself acquainted is James W. Hook,
now president of the Geometric Tool
Co., of New Haven, Conn. Mr.. Hook
arrived in Cody Tuesday after a trip
through the Park and spent a couple
of days here renewing old acquaint-
ances which. date back to the time
when he, just out of college, became
editor of the Enterprise, taking it
over from Col. Peake. He operated
the paper during the years 1905 and
1906.
Mr.. Hook speaks of the vast chang
es he notes in the paper and the town
in general. He tells of the time when
the subscribers used to come into the
office and have the editor look up
their accounts at the point of a six
shooter. Them vas the good OIL
days!

In this issue of the Enterprise will
be noted the political announcement
of d. E. Powers, at present Park
County Commissioner, who is coming
out for the Republican nomination
for the State Legislature.
The many friends of Mr.. Powers
will be glad to learn that he has de-

unquestionable. He is a mar of no
small %oratorical aptitude. He has
been a good county commissioner for

fight to the last ditch for what he
believes to be right and for the best

Margaret Hayden Is
Entertained at Inn

Margaret Hayden was the guest of
Mr.. j. H. Patrick, genial manager Of
the Cody-Burlington Inn last Sun
day. She says that while this splen-
did establishment is just across the
river, in distance, it is like experience
ing "a bit of old New York and the
rest of the world" by mingling with
these cosmopolitan and ever-changing
guests. Cody people are necessarily
kept rather close at home during the
summer while the world brings a va
cation to them.

Tourist Thinks Road
Is For Autos Alone

The Valley Ranch horses for the
boys and girls parties through Yellow
stone Park were being driven up the
Cody Road to their camp in the Sho-
shone' Forest. A tourists road. hog
uninitaited in the ways of dude horses
crowded his car into the bunch, trying
TO force them from the road. When
part way through he bumped into one
veteran of the trails who, doubtless,
resented the idea of horses giving way
TO autos and planted two freshly shod
heels squarely in the middle of the
%radiator, with such force that it
sprung a leak.
The irate tourist drove into Wapiti
Ranger Station to report the
indignity. Ranger Spencer was away
and Mrs. Spencer had to listen to an
account of the encounter with the bel
iigerent mount. After hearing the com
laint Mrs. Spencer tried to explain
that horses still have their rights
while on the road and that tourists
should respect these rights. She in
formed the complainant that several
horses had been injured during the
present season by drivers of cars who
imagined roads were made for their
sole benefit.
Mrs. Spencer waxed eloquent in the
denfense of her equine friend, not not
icing the effect 1t was having on the
vengeful autoist, turning on lis heel

made for his car, snorting muledict-

MURDERERS OF ROBT.
FRANK PLEAD GUILTY
IN CHICAGO COURT
FATE OF YOUNG KILLERS
REST UPON MERCY OF.
THE COURT

Chicago, Ill.-The fate of Nathan
Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, in
dicted for the kidnapping and murder
of 1~4-year-old Robert Franks, was
rested Monday, Gin the mercy of the
court"
This resulted from a plea of "guil-
ty" made Monday in court by Clar-
ence S. barrow, chief counsel for the
boys, and affirmed by them "after
they had been duly warned by the
court of the consequences of this
plea"
The degree of punishemnt, which
may vary from an undetermined pri-
son sentence, through life sentence in
the penitentiary, in generation in an
asylum, or death, will be determined
after a hearing which is to start We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock.
In entering the plea of guilty, At
torney Darrow said that the defense
admitted the correctness of the facts,
Substantially as printed in the news-
papers" =
He asked permission of the court,
however, "to offer evidence as to tho
mental condition of these young mea
and their degree of responsibility"
The defense was willing to submit
the subject of mentality to a joint
conference of ~alienists employed by
the State and the defense, but Robert
Grove, states attorney, objected to
this, saying:
"The State is in position to show
that these boys are not only guilty
of the facts which they here admit,
but that beyond any reasonable doubt
they are SAINT and fully cognizant of
the consequences of these acts"
States Attorney Grove declared
in a formal public statement, issued
after the proceedings, that he would
insist on the extreme penalty" for
both defendants.
Judge John r. Caverly agreed with
the attorneys, therefore, to hear such
evidence, both as t facts and mental
responsibility, as the two sides might
wish to present to him for his infor-
nation.
Judge Caverly, realizing the grave
responsibility which the sudden turn
in the notorious case placed upon him
told the attorneys that he would let
nothing interfere with as speedy ON
clusion of the hearing as possible.

RATES INVESTIGATED
BEFORE renewal OF
GEO. BECK FRANCHISE
TOWN COUNCIL AND CODY
CLUB LOOK INTO MATTER
OF RATES, ETC.

A great deal of interest is being
shown in the question of whether OF
not the electric light franchise Of
George T. Beck should be renewed
by the Town Council of Cody.
Mayor Trueblood and Councilman
Stump, in company with a committee
from the Cody Club, consisting of
E. F. Shaw and Ernest j. Goppert,
made a trip to Powell last week where
they looked over the government
lighting system being used at that
place, investigating thoroughly the
rates and cost of installing the appli-
ances necessary to connect up with
the government project.
1t was found by the Cody repre-
sentatives that the lighting rates in
Powell were much lower than those
in Cody while power rates were a
sriAe higher than those here. This
fact, however, is really in favor Of
the government plant, as there are
not more than a dozen individuals in
Cody who r using electric power
10 any great extent, while electric
lights r being burned in practically
every business house and home in the
town..
The State Board of Equalization
will hold a meeting in Cody OIL the
9Th of August to inquire into the
rates being charged by the Beck sys-
ZEN.
The Town Council is showing very
good judgement in thoroughly investi-
eating the conditions before coming
to any definite arrangement.

ABSCONDER OF Pay
ROLL KILLED IN MAN
HUNT ROCK SPRINGS
CACHE OF SUPPLIES AND
STOLEN o N is FOUND
SHOT BY FRIEND

Rock Springs, Wyo.-Clyde N.
Fisher, cashier of the Gum Quealy
Coal company here, who disappeared
last week at the same time that the
semi-monthly payroll of the company
vanished, was shot and fatally wound
ed shortly after l o'clock Wednes-
day morning by J. Walker, mine fore
man and friend of Fisher. Fisher
was making for a cache of food, water
and blankets in the mountains two
miles from a coal camp where he had
previously worked, when he was shot.
He died a few hours later in a local
hospital.
Two airplanes which Tuesday join
ed in the search for Fisher, follow
ing his disappearance, returned Tues
day night without finding any trace
of him.
Walker fired the shot which ended
Fishers life when he surprised the
man walking near the coal mine.
Walker called on Fisher to throw up
his hands. Fisher complied by raising
one hand, but refused to raise the
other, in which he was carrying an
object.
Thinking Fisher had a revolver,
Walker opened fire. The bullet struck
Fisher in the body and he fell to the
ground. Walker approached him and
found that he had been carrying a
water bottle.
Fisher was removed to a hospital
here, where he died without making
a statement.
A search of the vicinity revealed a
cache of food, water and blankets,
and also the entire payroll of the
company, totalling more than $4,000.
In addition $40 of Fishers money was
found.
Fisher cached a weeks supply of
food and water in a small gulley a
mile and a half from Gum, and a
few rods off the main road. In it
were five loaves of bread, several cans
of carbide such as used in miners
lamps and a miscellaneous assortment
of canned goods. This cache was
found by the sheriff's men earlier in
the day, and Walker was detailed to
watch the spot.
The food cache was about three
miles from the old Van Dyke mine,
where he had left his Ear. The ma
chine was found Tuesday afternoon
by two youths who happened to be in
the region. 1t is assumed that Fisher
left the car at the mine, and spent
the rest of the day hiding in its vicin-
ity, which is extremely rugged. The
a was barely hidden from the main
road, being located behind a small
spur of a hill about 200 yards from
the main highway.
No weapon was found either on
Fisher, in his car or in the food cache.
He had about eighteen heavy calibre
revolver cartridges in n pocket, how

HOUSE TOO BIG
FOR MOZART.
RECITAL
Artistry Pleasing, But Tones
of CIaVichord Are Lost
in National.

A bit of the old world during the
eighteenth century was transplanted
to twentieth century Washington
yesterday when Lucy Gates, So
prano, and Lolita Van Buren,, at the
piano and clavichord, gave a Mo-.
zartian costume recital in the Ma
tional Theater.
1t was not a particularly satisfy
ing recital, although at times both
artists did some really good work.
The tinkling daintiness of the claw
chord and the virginia. was almost
lost in the large auditorium. The
instruments are essentially drawing
room instruments, and as such are
out of place in our modern theaters.
Lucy Gates has a voice Of rich
smoothness, her tones as a whole
were clear and her enunciation be-
yond reproach. There was at times,
however, a certain strain manifest
in the top notes.
Miss Gates executed with real bril-
lance Adams variations on the air
from Mozart's lie Toreador," and
sang Eckert's "Swiss Echo Song"
with full regard for the technical.
