Hemos investigate que de particular

con gran asombro por nuestra parte he
mos podido saber que la oposicion por

estriba en- que esos escritos y esas es-
trofas Sc refieren al ifustre patricia
portorriquefio, don Jose de Diego.
Los estudiantes, seg1n informes, un
POGO mas logico que sus EDUCADO-

will be glad to assist in the matter
of securing those farmers; believing
hat in this manner a number of
people who are really wanting to
find a new location will be attracted
to the basin country on account of
their knowing you, and your know
ledge of the country in which you
live.
Sit down and write hat letter
today. Send it to the publisher OF
your old home paper and he will he

friends hack home will he Elai u

Unde' the plan presented by Mr..

of letters go out from the Big Horn
basin during the next few weeks and
the returns from those letters should
be of the greatest possible benefit to
the Big Hori. basin at large. Re-
member that YOU have a chance of

Mr. Leedom has been IN

MORE THAN FIVE CARS
OF DRESSED TURKEYS
SHIPPED FROM BASIN

The Big Horn Cooperative Mar
keting association, which includes
Big Horn and Park counties, shipped
more than five car loads of dressed
turkeys to market Thursday. The
shipment totalled about $4,000
pounds or about $500 turkeys. The
turkeys bring 80 cents per pound
or a net return to the growers of
about $7,SO0.00. Under the work
ing of the cooperative marketing
association the fowls bring 80 cents
a pound for NO Is, delivered at
station, but bonus checks are very
likely to be received should they
be marketed at an advanced figure.
Four hundred turkeys were ship
ped from the Cody community,
bringing about $1,20O.0O into this
section of the county at this time
when ready money is so needed
by the farmer. A dressing station
was provided by the farm bureau
in Cody and the turkeys were
dressed, graded and prepared for
market here. b

G. A. Holm. county treasurer, has
been a busy man the past few
days. while receiving the first in
stallment of the tax money which
is now payable under the two-pay-
Nment plan which was put into force
TDy the last legislature. Mr.. Holm
states that, although the new sys.

vantage to the heavy taxpayers, inr
asmuch as they may now "a one
half of their taxes, and the other
half in May Of, the following wear,
the new plan is not being usal by
a majority of the taxpayers OF the
county, that at the present time not
more than 80 per cent hav" made
payment of their first installment.
He stated that he would receive
payments for several days more, al
though the law sets November 10th
as the last day for these payments.
Where the two-payment plan is
not taken advantage of, the taxes
become due and payable December
31st, as under the old law.

CODY TEAM PLAYS
TIE GAME WITH
POWELL HIGH TEAM

In an evenly matched game which
was a fight-to-the-fi1ish. the Cody
High football team matched the war
riors of Powell in that town on
Armistice day. The score stood Z
to Z when the conflict ended, with
the Cody boys easily the stronger
OF the two aggregations.
Richard Buster Larson and
George Kelley yer easily the out
standing players of the day, al
though the playing of each and ev-
cry member of the local team was
one hundred per cent. Bob Wilson
made some fine gains when he car.
ried the ball through the enemy'a
line for yardage, and the work
throughout the game was far su-
perior to any they have delhonstrat-
ed in previous games this season.
Powell will come to Cody on
Thanksgiving day and the %struggle
for honors on that day VIII he a
hard one. Powell has won one
game this season and Cody has
done likewise, and with a tie score
to play off the honors so far have
been very even.

CAREY CAR CASE
TRIAL THURSDAY
JUDGE METZ WILL HOLD COURT
TO DECIDE OWNERSHIP OF
MOONSHINE AUTO

The case of the State VS.. A E.
Carey, in which p. C. Kettleson,
automobile salesman of GreybuII,
claims an interest in the Nash tour
ing car in which Scotty Sherrin
met his death last summer, and
which was driven by A. e. Carey
when they resisted arrest on the
Cottonwood road, will be heard to-
morrow, commencing at 1870 o'clock
The case involves the question OF
whether Kettleson's interest in the
car will be recognized by the state
of Wyoming, which confiscated the
automobile at the time Carey wac
arrested, and convicted of trans
porting liquor.
The case has dragged along for
several months owing to the fact
that the claimant has not appeared
at a time when the case could De
heard. His attorney appeared some
time g on but a few hours no
tice and Judge Metz ruled that the
county attorney was entitled to sur
ficient notice of the time of the
hearing, with the result that the
case has not been called until this
time. The car in controversy is al
almost new Nash Six Sport Model

by Fay Hiscock, local photographer

with splendid writeups of the Buff

which were furnished by Mr.. His

Sboshone canyon and the Cody road

The publication of these pictures
with the writeups which accompany

PERRY SOUGHT
BY SHERIFF LOOMS
ON MORAL CHARGE
Entire Northern Part of State is
Being Combed for Sage Creeker
who so far has Eluded
Arrest

Feeling ran high in Cody COM
munity last week when it became
known that Harold Peery was want
ed by the sheriff's office charged
with a crime of the most revolving
nature. and as yet has not been
apprehended. Several clues as to
his whereabouts have been received
in Cody and Sheriff Loomis is on a
still hunt for his man.
The first intimation of the trouble
into which Peery seems to have in
volved himself came to light last
week when e. M. McKain, father
of ~13-year-old Ruth McKain. of
whom Peery is the step-father, came
to Cody and went out to the Peery
ranch with what he claimed the
purpose of killing Peery. Accord
ing to reports McKain weakened in
his determination, and after meet
ing Peery and talking with him.
threatened him with arrest, and
gave him ample warning to make
his getaway before the sheriff could
serve his warrant.
1t is said that trouble arose in
the Peery family last summer ara

for several months. Mr.. McKain is

SCARLET FEVER
REPORTED HERE
PEOPLE SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
BUT NOT ALARMED, OVEI.
Epidemic WHICH HAS
STARTED HERE

eve There should be no general alarm
over the outbreak of the scarlet
fever epidemic in Cody this week
states DR.. Frances NJ. Lane, county
health officer, but everyone should
lend their whole-hearted supper, to
the n hat it can be stamped out
with the greatest dispatch. There
are but a few cases reported sc far
and not one of them is considered
serious Quarantine regulations will
be enforced to the greatest extent
and it is thought that the epidemic
will soon be under control.
The death of the little BOY last
week was due more to the fact that
his condition was not considered
serious, than because of the actual
fatalness of the epidemic. When
children become ill, or are exposed
to the disease, they should be
watched with care, and under no
circumstances be allowed to catch
a cold, or expose other children.
Serious cases Of scarlet fever may
possibly result from exposure of
those who are having the c%ontayion
III d very llSHl IOTm anu the most
extreme precaution should be used
to protect the young folks.
A meeting of the school board
was held Tuesday evening AMI the
decision reached that y would not
be necessary or advisable to close
the schools. A trained nurse will
be in charge during the next few
weeks Ii every child will re
closely watched each day. Should
they develop sor ethroats they will
be sent home at once, that the 9TH
er children may pot suffer from
their exposure. Man, parents are
keeping their children at home. But
with the closing of the schools
many OF the children would become
habitants of the streets and tic
ture shows. and it is felt ny the

best be safeguarded ny the en-
