MORTGAGED CAR
BACK TO DEALER
JUDGE METZ RULES THAT THE
DEALER SHOULD NOT LOSE
EQUITY IN NASH CAR

The Carey car case was tried in
the district court last week with
he result that the Nash sport
model touring car which has been in
the possession of the court for more
than a year vas returned to p. C
Kettlesan, Nash dealer of GreybuH,
who sold the car to A. Z. Carey
and took a mortgage for the bal
ance of the payments which amount
ed to practically the full purchase
price of the car.
In making his decision the judge
ruled that the county attorney did
the proper thing in holding the eur
in view of the fact that the owner
had been convicted of using it to
transport moonshine. He also said
that the prosecution had failed to
show that Kettleson had any know
ledge of the use to which the car
was being put, and thai in justice
to him it would not be fair to lie
prive him of his property. He did
rule, however, that there was no
reason why Park county should
stand any of the expense of a ras
of this character, and assessed the
cost of the storage against Kettle
son, amounting to $4,000, which
the Greybull man was willing to
a to recover his property.

JAIL AGAIN OPENS FOR
MAYNARD CODY Hi BOY

The encouragement of his friends
and the leniency of the court did
not impress Warren Cox who was
arraigned before Judge Metz some
time ago charged with assisting in
a jail delivery. At that time Cox
was given six months in the county
Jail and paroled on good behavior
to return to school and become a
useful and industrious citizen.
After having been an active par
ticipant in parties which generally
terminated by some of the younc
men getting into an intoxicated con
dition, and especially taking part
in a party on Armstice Day at Pow
ell, which resulted in a disgraceful
ending, young Cox was ordered
before Judge Metz last Thursday.
He was asked where he had Sc
cured the booze for the Powell
party and after an evasive answer
failed to answer several other
questions to the satisfaction of the
judge. He lis now back in Jail
with a good possibility of serving
his six months sentence.

last week, when Thermopolis took
Sheridan to defeat to the tune of
IA to 0. Laramie, after de-
feating Casper, has been accorded
the championship of the southern
part of the state, played Cheyenne
and was defeated in a decisive
manner. The honors now seem to
be divided four ways. Casper by
reason of defeating Cheyenne some
time ago claims to be a runner up
for state honors. Laramie has de-
feated Casper and wants to play off
the finals. Sheridan was an IN
defeated team up to the time Their
mopolis mauled them last week, and
they as well as the boys from the
hot springs town want t. have n

RESIDENTS OF EAST END
PETITION FOR SEWER

A petition is being circulated this
week for the forming of a sewer
district in the east part of Cody.
1t is imperative that the matter be
settled in the near future inasmuch
as the contractor who is laying the
central district of the town is about
through with his work and it would
be advisable to use his machine
while it is in Cody.
Most of the taxpayers are sign
ing readily for the proposed district
and it seems likely that the new
district will be formed. The cost
to the property owners will De
no greater than the cost of a good
cess-pool and the payments may be
carried over a period of ten years.
The plan at the present time is to
take in the entire eastern portion
of Cody East of Fourth street.
Especially will the laying of a
be advantageous to those
residents along the hill who are
being SO badly bothered by seepage.

approves of his enterprise and ha. Q
pledged it their unqualified support.
Mr.. Leedom's advertising carr
paign is in the nature of a letter
writing contest which is open to
every person in the Big Horn basin.
The letters are to be ser to old
friends and neighbors back in tho
state where you came from, or to
the old home newspaper for pub
LEGATION. You are to tell them aboLt
the part of Wyoming in which you
live, and tell them in a manner
which will interest them, and pos

FORMER CODY BOY
STARRING ON GRIDIRON

1t is indeed pleasing to note in
the columns of the Wells (Minn.)
Mirror, that Keene Ewart, a former
Cody boy. is in the ore front as a
football player in the Wells high
school eleven. Keene played as a
sub on the Cody High team two
years ago and showed great promise
as an athlete. He is not only one
of the pillars of strength on the
Wells team, but he is also an honor
roll student in scholastic attain
ments.
Mr.. Ewart writes that he and his
family are all well and is very en-
couraged with the outlook of bus
mess conditions in that section. The
political upheaval in Minnesota
which will send Mangus johnson
back to his dirt farm was very
gratifying to the people of that
state.
