antelope were sent out by the local
sportsmen's association to all of the
other associations and clubs in the

HAROLD PERRY BEING
HUNTED BY SHERIFF

A warrant has been issued for Har-
old Peery, who is charged with a sta
tuatory offense committed upon his
thirteen-year-old stepdaughter, Ruth
McKain.
Peery was at McDonald's sheen
camp at the time of the issuance of
the warrant, and it is understood that
ne a denoted his willingness to
come IN and give himself up to the
law. He was informed by neigh
Dors that E. M. McKain, of Rawlins.

with intent to kill, so he Immediately

he was followed by Sheriff Loomis
who tracked him over considerable
country, loosing the trail on the rim
rocks several times, but picking il I'm

Sheriff Loomis has notified author
tues in all directions and it is expect-
gu lnat the fugitive will be picked up

the past few days will force him to

cooperate with the State Game and
Fish department in the preservation,
propagation and protection Of game
birds and fish,"
This is followed by an appeal to
the clubs to work up a pronounced
sentiment for the movement as "the
biggest thing that ever happened for
the game and fish of this state"
By having representatives from
each section of the state, it will be
possible to draft n fish and game bill
that will fit every part, Thompson
said. A bill has already been draft
ed, he declared, but it cannot pos
sibly fit the needs of all parts of the
state for the reason that one person
cannot know these needs.
No money from the sale of hunt
ing and fishing licenses can be used
by the Game and Fish department Of
the state, he asserted. Last year
the sale Of licenses netted the state
100000 and this year 1t will bring
in $125,0 00, he stated. yet the last
legislature apportioned the Game and
Fish department of the state only
100000 for two years work, and
S47. 900 for the operation Of the sew
en- fish hateheries Of the state.
SO inadequate has this been, assert
cd Thompson, that only 10 game n
dens have been allowed and the mum
her of h%atchories in operation has
been cut from seven TO three.

"The Covered Wagon"
Draws Big Cody Crowd

Few people in Cody who had any
way of getting there, missed "The
Covered Wagon" which was shown
at the Lyric theatre in Powell last
Sunday and Monday. Everyone re-
turned more than pleased with the
fine production and it is easy to un-
derstand the phenomenal success it
has had in this country and in Eng
land after seeing 1t.
The atmosphere is the real thing,
the characters weH chosen and the
plot so well knit that it gets the in
terest from the beginning and retains
it to the end.
The Lyric with its large seating
capacity was packed each time the
picture was shown, with a waiting
line that looked like Mary Garden
night at the opera, SO that Mr. Full
kerson, the manager, must have been
well repaid for his enterprise in Sc
curing the film for his theatre.

Mr.. Reyn Leedom, chairman OF
the publicity committee of the Big
Horn Basin Federated Club, who ap-
peared before the local chamber of
commerce this week is announcing
an advertising campaign for the Big
Horn Basin, fostered by the FEEDER
ated club, in which every citizen of
the Basin, regardless of age or creed
can participate, and receive for his
effort a good cash prize. Waving
aside the prize the effort should be
performed gladly by those who wish
to see their community prosper.
One hundred fifteen dollars cash
is to be distributed in prizes through
the plan which the publicity COM
mittee has worked out.
Mr.. Leedom will be in Cody the
first part of next week and will talk
at the weekly luncheon of the Cody
Club Monday noon. All farmers are
invited and urged to be present at
this meeting to hear what he has to
say.
The Big Horn Basin has been fav-
ored with ar unusually good crop of
every kind this year and it should be
a very easy matter for you to write
and tell your old neighbors about the
success of cropping the land where
water is abundant, climate ideal, gen
eral conditions better than in most
parts of the country, and the best
place in the world in which to live.
You might also tell them that most
of the United States visits the Big
Horn Basin each year on its way to
the Yellowstone Park, for a few days
or weeks enjoyment in Natures
greatest playground. 1t should be an
easy matter for you to tell your old
neighbors back home what bumper
crops of corn and beets can be pro-
duced here, what delightful outing
places the residents of the basin coun-
try have, where mountain streams
abound with trout, where the seem
cry is unsurpassed; you could also
tell them that we have within the
confines of the Big Horn Basin ma
tural gas for fuel purposes which is
ideal fuel and at a saving over coal;
you might tell them that we grow
and make our W sugar, that we
grow our w wool; you might tll
them that if they are ailing their all
ments can be cured by bathing in the
mineral waters of this truly wonder

CODY HI eleven WINS
GAME AND TIES ONE

The Cody High School foot ball
team redeemed itself last Friday af-
ternoon when it defeated the team
from Byron by a score of 100 to
nothing.
The team has been considerably
strengthened both in the line and the
back field by the return of some of
the players of last year who did not
feature in the first three or four
games of the season. With their ad-
ded weight and good team work de-
veloped by working together the team
will be a tough proposition to buck
in the remainder of this seasons
games.
The Byron team was not by any
mean composed of light-weights and
it appeared to have Cody outweighed
if anything. They were not what one
could call slow and they had some
very good plays, but the local boys
were just getting down to work and
playing foot ball the way it should
be played.
The whole lineup is deserving of
credit in this game, as the interior
ence work was perfect. Some fine,
long runs were made by Richard Lar
son, George Kelley, "Bus" Arnold,
Art Oeland, and Robert Wilson dis
tinguished himself by carrying the
ball through in some splendid line
smashes. 1t would take some big
college stars to improve on the man.
ner in which Bob McGinnis and Ed
Brown received and carried the ball
on the forward passes, this play be-
ing worked for several long gains
and touch-downs.
The Cody boys again played a hard
game against Powell team on the lat
tiers field on Armistice Day, the re-
suit of this contest being a tie with
a score of seven to seven.
Persons who witnessed the game
declared that the contest should have
gone to the Cody team, as some un-
just decisions were made, penalizing
the local boys, meaning the loss of
enough points to win the game.
1t is gratifying to notice the i'm
provement in the playing of the Cody
High eleven, and while only a few
more games remain to be played
this season it is expected that they
will run the percentage of winnings
up considerable before the sounding
of the final whistle.
