JAIL DELIVERY
TWO PRISONERS GO FREE

Johnnie Noonan is gone again,
and this time with him goes Jack
Rueder, who was serving a sixty
day sentence for the possession of
moonshine. Noonan and Reuder
made their escape Saturday evening
and have not been heard of since,
although the sheriff picked up a
rumor that Noonan had been seen
in the park.
They made their escape by saving
away a a of the county Jail and
dropping to the ground. None of
the other inmates of the jail took
advantage of the opportunity to
take French leave. The tools with
which the bar was sawed are sup
posed to have been supplied by
friends on the outside. Sheriff
Loomis, who usually locks the pris-
oners into their cells each night, at
tended to this duty it is said on
Saturday evening, but did not notice
that two of his men had flow nthe
Cup. He did not miss them until
Sunday morning, after ample time
had been given for them to make

the Ninth Quadrennial convention
of the Student Volunteers of Am
erica, which was held at Indianap-
oils, Indiana, during the Christmas
vacation last winter, and is a lead
>er in the local organizations. 1t
Will certainly be gratifying for Cody

earned in her brief enrolment at
Wesleyan. She is said to be signed
as a teacher in Wyoming this year.

MEETEETSE BOYS
TURN OVER In CAR

Testing the speed of a new car
belonging to Earl Moore of Nee
teetse on Monday afternoon resulted
in the car turning over three times
on the Cody-Meeteetse road and
badly bruising up the occupants,
Jap Hale, Joe Lang and the owner.
The car was badly stripped as to top
and lights, but nothing serious to
the engine or chassis.
The three boys, with Hale at the
wheel, had started toward Cody and
got almost to the fork of the Cody
and Burlington road. They say
here they had the Hudson up to AS
miles an hour when a soft place in
the road was encountered and it
skidded and turned over three times
before reaching the bottom OF a
ravine at the road side. 1t landed
on all four wheels and the engine
ran as smoothly as ever when start
ed after the mishap.
1t seems nothing short of a MIR
acle hat none of the boys were
seriously injured.

minneapolis, Minnesota, were in
stantly killed Sunday afternoon
when the former backed their car
over the edge of Yellowstone can

gers dropped and rolled a distance
of from 1000 to 1900 feet to the
sand rock below. lust what caused

tourists witnessed the accident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn, who were
making a motor trip to Wyoming
and Yellowstone park, had driven
around to Artists point and had
viewed the wonderful Yellowstone
canyon from that place. They both
returned to their car. which was of
the closed type, and had started
away when the accident occurred.
The backing car went between
two trees which were barely far
enough apart to admit it and made
the sheer drop hundreds of feet be-
low.
This is the first fatal accident
which is recorded at Yellowstone
falls and canyo in the So years
this area has been a national park.

Cody was stunned on Wednesday
evening of last week when it learn
ed that Mrs. Paul Ache was dead,
and that her only son was not ex-
pected to live, and that two more
of a dinner party of seven were i'll
with symptoms of botulism. Drs.
r. c. Trueblood of Cody and ]. D..
Lewellen of Powell had beer called
to the ranch al the noon hour and
exhausted every known means
to combat the deadly poisoning.
Mrs. Ache passed away at about 3
O'Clock and her son died three hours
later. Thos. A. Gillispie, a CUES;
at Aldrich Lodge, who had been
at the party and partaken of the
lunch, was ill all night and died
the next morning at about eleven
O'Clock. At that time the surviving
members of the party, including
lobe, Dick and Sarah Ellen Richard
son and Eugenia Jones, were hur-
ried to Billings where it was thot
possible to give them better care
should they be afflicted. Dick
Richardson, who had symptoms of
the poison before he left the ranch,
died in the hospital at Billings dur
the forenoon of Thursday, July 10.
None of the other three members
of the party showed any signs of
the sickness, but nevertheless they
were inocculated with the anti-toxin
as soon as it could be secured from
Kansas city.
Party at Ache Home
Mr.. and Mrs. Ache and son are
well known in Cody. They have
been spending their on
Southfork for about fifteen years
and own their own home near AL
drich lodge. The three Richardson
young people and Tom Gillispie
were guests at Aldrich lodge. The
luncheon was given on Tuesday aft
ernoon at the Ache home and
among some of the things served
were ripe olives, pressed chicken,
cold tongue and ported hame, to-
gether with an imported cheese.

OF DENVER
HERE MAKING
AN INVESTIGATION

Dr.. A. H. Chernhof, federal
chemist of the United States Food
and Drug department, of Denver,
arrived in Cody Friday and went
Immediately to the Ache home on
S%outhfork to make a thorough in
v~estigation of the causes of the ira
gedy which occurred there when four
lives were taken by botulism. He
secured a few specimens of canned
goods which had been served at the
luncheon which is supposed to have
poisoned several members of the
party. Unfortunately at hal late
day little was left of the lunch, but
the remainder of the ripe olives
sponsible for the deaths was secured
by DR.. C~hernhoff, and these he m
mediately dispatched to Washington
for a rigid testing.
In speaking at the Cody club on
Monday DR.. Chernhoff gave a brief
outline of the history and policy
of the United States Food inc Drug
department of the government and
said that it stood ready to go to
tne DOttOm OIL the causes OIL tneSe
terrible tragedies which seem to oc-
u every year or two. He explained
the source of b. botulinus and of
the means which are being taken
by the great canning companies and
manufacturers to combat it pres
ence in products. DR.. ~Chernhoff,
like most government representa-
tives, was very reticent about his
investigation, but said that as soon
as his department has ascertained
the origin of the poison which has
taken the toll of life here, that it
was possible the finding of his de-
partment would be made public.

The people of Park county, his
friends and neighbors here, regret
very much hat a situation has
arisen which seemed to justify this
action on the part of Mr.. Coe. Be
sides being n of the most infiu-
entail and heaviest taxpayers of
the county, he has entered readily
into every other enterprise which
has had for the upbuilding of the
state that his residence here will
be keenly felt. During the war
period it was always Mr.. Coe who
underworld the liberty bond cam
paigns. 1t was always he who came
to the assistance of the Park coun-
ty fair and every other worthy I'M
dertaking when financial Difficult
ties hove in sight. 1t vas Mr.. Coe
who took the town of Cody's water
bonds at par when municipal bonds
were not selling well. His interest
in Wyoming has been state wide.
Cody alone is not the only section
of the state which has found him
a philanthropist of the highest
order. Besides his gift to the
Cathedral Home of $4,000, a few
years ago. he gave 100000 to the
cost of the Memorial hospital in
Cheyenne and has been a heavy
contributor to the state library fund

new AIR MAIL SCHEDULE
In FORCE ON JULY FIRST

A new air mail schedule was
placed into effect July LIST and pro-
vides for the sending of mail and
parcel post by airplane on the planes
operating between New York and
San Francisco. Several other routes
are expected to be established in the
nea future.
To figure a basis for postal
charges the route between the east
and west coasts has bee divided as
follows: One zone from New York to
Chicago; one from Chicago to Chey-
enne, Wyoming, and one from Chey-
enne to a Francisco. To send
mail across one of these zones a
charge of eight cents for each one
is charged. making the cost of
sending a letter weighing an ounce
or less, from New York to San
Francisco, "a cents. Parcels will
be taken up to 50-pound weight,
not exceeding "a inches in length
and girth combined. 1t would cost
1892 to send the maximum weight
parcel across the continent by the
airplane route.
1PS~i1 toihpo " aNdiidDlt "
use on letters which are to go by
the airplane service, but the use of
other stamps is permissible, if suf-
ficient postage is placed on letter
or parcels and the mail marked
plainly Via Air Mail" This post
age will include the necessary post
age to insure letters and parcels
getting to the air mail station. The
mail planes going east leave the
Cheyenne station at 7:15 p. n,
mountain time, and those going west
leave the same field at 5:25 a. NJ.
Mail planes crossing the state east
ward stop at Rock Springs and
Cheyenne and those westward bound
stop at Cheyenne, Rawlins and Rock
Springs.

GAMERS
SEND EXPERTS TO
CODY TO INVESTIGATE

Ernest d. Clark, chemist and
bacteriologist of Seattle and director
OF the National Gamers ~associa-
ton, together with R. E. Mason.
also representative of the Gamers
association, arrived in Cody Mon
day and spent two days here max
ing a careful investigation of the
causes of the deaths of the four
people on Southfork last week. \ In
talking with Miss Eugenia Jones.
n of the survivors of the lunch
con party, and with DR.. R. c.. True
blood, Mr.. Clark secured some very
important facts regarding the many
things which were eaten by diff
ferent members of the party at the
luncheon, but as yet has been able
to reach any definite conclusion.
Mr.. Clark made a chart of all
the edibles which it is said were
served. The first meal was served
at the Aldrich home and the two
luncheons at the Ache home. OF the
party of seven, Miss Jones was the
only person who was present at all
of these meals. Although olives,
chicken, sliced OK tongue, ported
ham and cheese were all possible
causes for the poisoning, not all OF
the four who died eat from all
these dishes except the olives. On
this method of figuring it would
look as if the olives were the cause
for the sickness, but it is hard %
reconcile this with the fact that
Miss Jones probably ate as many
or more of the olives than any one
of the party, as did two other mem
bers of the party who showed no
symptoms of the disease.
Messrs. Clark and Mason are rep
resenting the canning industry. They
are trying to arrive at the truth.
They represent industries which are
working under very rigid regula-
lions in the putting on the market
of their products and should it de-
velop that any certain brand of the
edibles served at the Ache party
contained b. %botulinus, a checking
back to the packing will be made
and if any careless or willful dis
regard Ito regulations is discovered
prosecution will follow.
1t may be stated hat the olives
served at the party were an i'm
ported product, but the federal
chemist who was here declared that
they had been packed in this coun-
try.

FOUR DEATHS RESULT OF BOTULISM
AT POPULAR LODGE ON SOUTHPORT
Baffled by Tragedy Which Takes Toll
of -Four of Party of Seven

Mrs. Paul Ache and son Paul Jr, of Pittsburgh, Pa, Thos
A. GiEispie, of South Orange, N. j., and Dick Richardson of
Germantown, Pa are all dead as a result of botulsm caused
by something which they ate on Tuesday afternoon of last week
at the Ache home near Aldrich lodge on Southfork. Just what
was the cause of their death is being investigated by rep
of the United States Food and Drug department
and the National Gamers association, but all indications point
to ripe olives which were eaten at two lunches which were
served on that day. Miss Eugenia Jones, daughter of Dave
Jones of Cody, and Miss Sarah Ellen Richardson and lobe Rich
ardson, sister and brother of one of the deceased. were also
members of the party, but miraculously escaped the dreaded
