ing the weeks that inrervenec be-
tween her fathers disastrous flying
visit in August and his final return
late In October. Her wishes and her
dreams contradicted each other and
frequently themselves. and her actions
followed as best they could through
the maze.
Before Joe took up his post as sem

she had drifted into a modus vlvendI

since his licking. and some of his as

his she deliberately intiamed.
The victories were not all with her,
however. He was strategist. too.
Within a week of his return he ma
neuvered her out of half her liberty
by appropriating the roadster to his
own use. The closed car was at her

the chauffeur naturally went with It.

tion made 1t useless for the most i'm

she couldn't avow preference for the
open car.
In another. way, too, the weather
helped force the situation. When Joe
finally got. round to going North
again, about the middle of November,
there was no possibility Of giving the
journey the color of pleasure outing
for Trix. but she went at his invita-
ton.
During the whole ten days the jour
ney lasted, storms and the mud kept
her virtually prisoner In a success
sion of small hotels. She wrote long
daily letters to George Burns while
her father was away about his busi-
ness. and In the evening when he came
back she entertained him with sulky
silence, varied sometimes by spirit
less acquiescence In a suggested movie
show or by pretended absorption in
magazine. Before they returned
they had worn the situation down to
Its last shred of tolerability.
The one thought in her mind was
to get to George as quickly as she
could She had figured this as one of
his Off days, and was sure, having
written she was getting home today.
that he would be waiting at his board
ing-house to hear from her.
She was angrily Incredulous of the
voice-that OF a bonrding-house slavey
which informed her that Mr.. Burns
was out. and after this assurance had
been rammed home to her there was a
black moment or two when she turned
her wrath upon her lover. Then it
occurred to her that he might be the
victim of change in his timetable,
and, calling up the office Of the su-
perlntendent of the air mall, she
learned that this was true. Pilot
Burns had taken out the Cleveland
mail that morning He'd be returning

BILL AGAIN
MAKING A RIDE WEST

Sixty years ago young Will Cody
cantered westward on a wirey mus
tang, bound from the then frontier
of the Missouri valley for the farther
frontier of the Rocky Mountains,
seeking the great adventures that
were to make him an historical char
acter.
Today he is riding west again, not
in the flesh, not on a living steed, not
in quest of adventure, but, immor-
talized in bronze as he was in the full
flush of his splendid manhood, he is
journeying by the steel trail for
which he was pathfinder, to the spot
he loved best, there to be a remind
er to generations to come of the spir-
it of the epochal, the romantic per-
iod of which he was a heroic figure.
The Buffalo Bill who made western
history is long since gone, the dust
that was his body lies in a sepulchre
hewn in adamtine rock on al exalt-
I'D eminence overlooking the vast

appalling perils that civilization might
advance, but the spirit of him still is
a glowing inspiration. That it may
not be forgot, that it may inspire
long after the last who knew him
personally has CROSSED the range"
the Buffalo Bill American Association
has provided a monumental equestri-
an statue of him that is to be erected
at his last, his best loved home.
1t is the likeness in imperishable
metal of him as he was in his prime,
at a thrilling moment of his daring
scouting-a veritable miracle of art
that seems to Undue cold bronze with
palpitating life and stirring action
that is travelling westward today,
from Brooklyn, where it was cast, to
Cody, Wyoming, where it is to be I'M

Association July 18th. Thousands will
view the gigantic statue as it moves
acros the United States on a special
car; will marvel at this frozen dra-

where it is to stand, there to witness

BABY BORN ENROUTE
UP DEAD INDIAN HILL;
ALL DOING fine
THREE FINISH TRIP WHERE
TWO START-ALL CON
VENIENCES OF HOME

A good many unusual happenings
have taken place on Dead Indian hill
but none of the quite come up to the
stirring event which took place last
Thursday, June 9Th. when Mrs. Ar
thur Braten of Sunlight gave birth to
a boy half way up the hill or along
what is called the drift fence"
1t came about in this wise: Mr..
and Mrs. Braten were going up the
hill, noted throughout the country for
its steepness and length, on their way
to the home of Mrs. Braten's mother,
Mrs. Brough, on Paint Creek.
About half way up the hill they
met Mr.. and Mrs. H. Ward. of Gran
dali Creek, coming down. While
they were exchanging news Mrs.
Braten became i'll. She grew rapidly
worse and it soon became apparent
it va time for action.
Fortunately, Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
had a bed On their wagon and what
still more fortunate Mrs. Ward
had been a trained nurse so they i'm
a hospital along the afore-
said drift fence and in twenty min
ntes Mr.. and Mrs. Braten were the
surprised parents of a healthy boy.
At the moment known as psyche
to fiction writers, along came
Bert Marvin, Jess Bum and Ed Wo-
CONAN, who coached from the side
ines, on horseback. and will probably
act as godfathers to the infant who,
according to all western tradition,
be christened "Dead Indian"
Braten.
At last report mother and young
ter are doing as well as if it all had
iranspired in st. Vincent's hospital.

BOYS DUMP OUT SALT
TO GET EMPTY SACKS

1t was discovered last week that the
Home Supply grocery store had been
broken into, and while nothing of a
very great value was taken, damage
was done that results in a consider
able loss for the proprietor, Clay Ty-
Ter.
This depreciation was the work of
a couple of young boys of Cody,
whose names r being withheld out
of consideration for the parents.
They committed an offense serious
enough to send them to prison or a
reformatory when they pried some
planks off a basement window. They
went into a store room where salt
was kept and opened about eighty
five sacks, dumped the salt on to the
floor and took the empty sacks to the
flour mill and sold them.
Mr.. Thurston at the mill thought
it strange that the same boys were
bringing the same kinds of sacks at
the rate of ten or fifteen a day and
upon kes60etion the source of the
suppiy Ms discovered.
The lads were arrested and after
spending a night or two in Jail were
brought into court and a part of their
sentence was that they be compelled
to resack the salt they had emptied.

COWBOYS, COWGIRLS, RIDERS,
ROPERS--AA GETTING READY FOR
The CODY STAMPEDE, JULY J, d. 5
improvements Under Way at Fairgrounds and
5 Wolfville in Preparation for Big Attend
ance That is Assured


No doubt there are events of i'm
portance happening in the world out
side but what care we for the trou-
bles of kings and nation and presi-
DENTAL candidates with the Cody
Stampede less than a month away!
The weather on July 3, a, 9Th is a
matter of far more moment to us
than the results of the national Re-
publican convention in Cleveland, and
we shall not rest easy until Jim Cor
der has consulted his almanac and re-
ported those days to be warm and
clear.
But the Stampede committee are
optimists and whether the almanac
says rain or shine it will go ahead
making its preparations for the big
gest crowd that any little town in
Wyoming aver saw.
Four top rows are being added to
the grand stands, making close to
500 additional seats, and we have a
notion that this will still : not be
enough if reports of the visitors who
are coming may be believed.
The floor space at the Wolfville
dancing pavilion has been doubled
and the fence moved back to the al
ley while an order has been given
for canvas to cover the entire three
lots-14O by 80 feet.
Harry Alden's Red Lodge orches-
ira of six pieces has been engaged to
furnish the music which will be
placed in the center of the floor in
stead Of the side as heretofore. rSol-I
iy," the Irma porter. accounted the
fastest crap shooter in these parts
and who was the center of attraction
last year, is getting his crap table
ready and declares he never felt so
lucky in his life.
Mrs. r. P. Hindman and Mrs. Drill
la Downing who ladled out a ton of
ice cream-more or less-last year
are making preparations to sell twice
as much during the three Wolfville
nights.
The roulette wheel will be ready
for business and many other games
of chance to stir the sporting blood
of dudes and natives who have 10000
bucks to risk.
More applications for street con-
cessions are already in than ever be-
fore, which means that Sheridan ave-
nue. will be one long Midway Plais-
a%nce-noise and color and all kinds of
amusements for every age and taste.
Among other things there will be a
merry-go-around on one of the va
cant lots, so it behooves the kids TO
begin saving their nickles. Imagine
being broke with a merry-go-around
in town! Could a person think of
anything worse!
The Hardy horses are already in
training at the fair grounds, and Myr-
tie Hardy, whose fine riding and APP
pearance aroused the enthusiasm of
the grand stand last year, will be back
and enter in many events.
The Stampede steers. which it was
decided to hold over, have grown and
put on fat and are now in such high
that they come bouncing off
the hills like mountain sheep. 1t will
take real horses to catch them or we
miss u guess.
The Cody Stampede is noted for its
horses and IL they don't come
