bucking horses, a team for Roman

Two of the brothers are now in Lon
don with Tex Austin's show.
The Valley ranch is giving the $50
purse for the cowgirl race on July
4th.
Harvey Winsor says he has fol
lowed the contests for IL years and
considers the Stampede longhorns the
best ~bulldogging steers he has seen
in a long time. He declares they are
better than Ringing Brothers who
are said to have the best bulldogging

Clarence Snyder is to be one of
the pickup men,. The other two are

then on.
J. NJ. Schwoob who returned from
Cleveland on Sunday, asserts that the
Republican national convention pales
in importance beside that of the Cody

OLD FAITHFUL CEYSER
GOES OUT ON STRIKE

Perhaps no one remembers how
long Old Faithful geyser has been
the wonder and delight of visitors in
the Park, and for her to quit her
faithful spouting, from which she de-
rives her name, would be hard to be-
iieve, but, according to inside dope,
that is just what she was guilty of
and this is how it came about.
Early this spring when the savages
were working like mad to get things
in shape for the big season ahead, the
Tremen heating up the hot springs
and the animal trainers teaching the
bears to mooch peanuts and shake
hands with the tourists, also other
wise brushing up their etiquette, a
group of workmen were blasting out
some stumps in the vicinity of Old
Faithful.
The resultant shock somehow play
ed havoc with the interior of the gey-
ser's system, and said geyser refused
to geyse when her usual time came
about.
Imagine the CONSERVATION of every
body, and especially the operators OF
Old Faithful Inn It looked like
something serious had happened, with
no one to fix it. After a few days
however, Mother nature, in her owr
slow, sure way repaired the damage
and Old Faithful-the delight OF
countless thousands who have seer
her-spouted forth in all her former
glory. and has been on her good be
havior ever since.

Hon. J. M. Schwoob
Back From Convention

Hon. J. M. Schwoob returned re-
Gently from the Republican National
convention at Cleveland, Ohio. Mr..
Schwoob visited at Buffalo, his former
of the nation is to keep Coolidge.
He further reports hat nearly ev-
erybody comedies that Dawes is the
logical candidate for Vice President.
After leaving Cleveland, Mr..
Schoow visited at Buffalo, his former
home, and thence to Canada to visit
the place of his birth. Business in
the East, says Mr.. Schwoob, is show
ing a decided trend for the better
with al, improvement in labor con-
ditions.

Mrs. Hayden Returns
From Trip Thru Park

Margaret Hayden has returned
from a trip through the Park as the
representative of the Cody Club. The
first evening of the trip was spent at
Pahaska as the guest of the State
Medical and Dental Society, who
were rendered a banquet and dance
by the Cody Club.
From there she motored to the east
entrance of the Park to attend the
dedication of the new lunch DON by
the P. E. O., who also held their con-
vention here.
Throughout all her trip Mrs. Hay
den was entertained and shown every
courtesy by Park officials and en-
ployees. She further mentions the
courtesy and efficiency shown by the
yellow bus drivers.
Too little attention, says Mrs. Hay
den. is being paid to these boys who
play such an important part in bring
ing the Nations Playground before
the people in a that brings
forth its fullest measure of instruc-
tive recreation.
Material cleaned from this trip will
be used in the Billings Gazette, and
many leading magazines throughout
the country. Mrs. Hayden regrets
that pressing duties essentially rem
dered her trip rather short in time,
but hopes to be able to again make a
trip through the Park on a similar
mission.

School Election Is
Held On Monday

The school election passed off on
Monday without any casualties and
resulted in the return of Mrs. John
Cook to the school board and Clyde
Siggins as a new member replacing
Lloyd Buchanan.
The information that a new coach
who is reputed to be experienced and
efficient had been retained went a
long way toward smoothing the trou-
bled waters. Athletics mean much to
the boys of the various teams and
there seems to be good grounds for
their dissatisfaction with Mr.. Roberts
who attempted to act in this capacity
last year.
A resolution introduced asking for
a special instructor in physical Gull
ture for the whole school was de-
feated.

DAYS OF old ARE
RECALLED WHEN
HORSES ARE TAKEN
THIEVES ENTER BARN AND
STEAL HORSES AND SAD
D~LEs-SHERIFF ON TRAIL

1t would seem that days of the old
West featured in song and story when
the bold, bad rustler stole cattle and
horses, shook his fist in the face of
consequences and laughed at the law,
are not yet dead, for this morning
comes the news that thieves broke
into the Cavalry barn, stealing two
saddles belonging to the rodeo. They
then saddled two horses belonging to
Sheriff Loomis and E. NJ. Johnston,
and rode out of town.
According to Mr.. Johnston the
theft took place some time between
ten o'clock Tuesday and five o'clock
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Johnston
turned his horse loose for the night
about ten o'clock, and saw the Loom
is horse in the corral. The sherif's
office was promptly notified this NOR
ming of the theft, and the trail vas
picked up and followed Is miles south
of Cody towards the Carter Noun
tain country.
Mr.. Johnson tells of two strangers
asking for a job at the barn, breaking
(oncos, Tuesday afternoon. They
had not been seer since, and may be
the guilty parties.
Reports came in today that two
strange riders we're seen in the lake
country near Coe Lodge. This sec
ton is in a mountainous region, and
practically inaccessible, which will
make trailing the thieves a hard task.
Sheriff LOOMS has two good men
on the job and thinks that he will
capture them by sunset this evening.

Says Cody Is A
City OF Conventions

"Cody can rightly be called a city
of conventions" remarked Dave
Jones in his talk at the weekly lunch
con of the Cody Club, Monday.
Three conventions in a week: the
State Medical, the State Dental and
the p. E. o. conventions. How few
towns of this size can boast of such
a record.
Cody, the last of a famous frontier,
carries around il a glamour of ro-
nance that thrills each visitor. 1t is
the echo of bygone days and anyone
coming here will catch the spirit of
the vanishing West and carry away
with him memories that will bring
him back again and again.
