HEARING CONCLUDED LAST
WEDNESDAY--DECSON IS AWAITED
For Defence Are Placed On
Stand---Testimony of Mrs. Louise
Manlove Is Taken At Bedside

The fate of William H. Loomis sheriff of Park, is now in the
hands of the governor of the state, Mrs. Nellie T. Ross, and decision
as to whether or not Mr.. LOOMS will be removed from office is ex-
pected from the chief executive some time within the next week.
The taking of testimony ended late last Wednesday afternoon,
and that evening the attorneys for both sides made summaries of the
testimony given for the governors consideration.
While the testimony that was published last week, and which
was all given by witnesses for the state, might have made it appear
rather gloomy for Mr.. LOOMS, that taken for the defense would be
very likely to offset a great deal of it in the governors consideration:
Some excellent character testimony was given in the sheriffs behalf
by highly respected residents of this section of the state.
The testimony of Mrs. Louise Manove, who was too i'll at the
time to be placed on the stand, was taken at her bed side, the govern
or, the defendant in the case and the attorneys going to the Manlove
residence.
A number of witnesses were placed on the stand in behalf of the
defense on Wednesday,, and testified to the character of Mr.. LOOMS,
and also to the character of some of the witnesses who had testified
against him.
Whether the governor will base her decision on the testimony as
she heard it here, or upon the transcribed records of the hearing is
not known, but should she require a copy of the testimony as taken
here it is safe to say that no decision need be expected for at least
another two weeks.

Kid Wilson Offers Prize
For Trade Name Label

"Kid" Wilson wants a name for the
mineral water taken from the springs
on his place and formerly known as
sweet water. He wants a name so
bad that he is going to give ten dol
lars in cash and a case of water to
the person who suggests the best
name and a sketch for a label to be
used on the bottles.
The label does not have to be
drawn up is it is to appear after be-
ing printed, but just a sketch or plan
to work from.
Sweet water is becoming a popular
beverage and tonic over this section
of the state, and Nj. Wilson wants
a good, short, snappy trade name for
this product.

Charity Ball Children's
Home at Irma May IS

A dance will be. given at the Irma
Hotel for the Cathedral Home for
Orphan children in Laramie, on Fri
day, May 18th.
Last summer Mr.. w. r. Coe gave
$4,000 on the condition that a like
amount be raised in the state before
July list. Unless this is raised the
money will be returned t. Mr.. Coe.
This Home was founded when there
was a crying need and nothing of the
sort in the state. One of the Clergy
travelling about found three helpless
homless children with no n to care
for them and brought them with him
to Laramie, and so the Home was
started.
The Cathedral Home is n real home
with as little as possible Of the in
stitutional about it and will take in a
child regardless of religion affilia-
tions or inheritance. .
Probably the most attractive child

for life for murder and whose mother
is worthless.
Again, every home to which a child
Is sent for adoption Is investigated in
advance so that no child is eve shuf-
fled off into an undesirable place, and
in more than one instance the whole
atmosphere OF he new home has been
changed by the entrance of the child,
A large general committee has been
formed and il is hoped that every
business man, and people in all walks
Of life will feel an urge to make d
liberal contribution to this good

that he had been appointed Chief Assistant State Game and Fish
Commissioner of Wyoming, by Governor Nellie T. Ross. The ap-

1t is very probable that he will take up his residence there and move
his family to the capital
MI. Rousseau has been a deputy in this section for the past three
years, serving under the former commissioner Frank Smith. He
has been very satisfactory in this capacity, both from the point of
view of the game commission and the sportsmen of this part of the

SUNLIGHT SULPHUR

w. D. Turner, of Detroit, came in

sulphur deposits in that section in
which he has become much interested.
Mr.. Turner believes they look suffi-
GENTLY good to warrant further in
vestigation and he will return to Cody
in about three weeks with an engineer
and geologist. AS he sees it at pres
ent, the greatest obstacle to the dew
elopment of these deposits is the
problem of transportation.

How About Your Tool Kit?

(By Edwin Greer, President Greer
College of Automotiye Engtneering)
When it comes to tools one may
better have too many than too rev.
Tools are easily misplaced or LOST
and It is of vital Importance to see
to it that the tool kit Is well sup
plied before starting on the tour.
It is surprising how few motor
lists check over the tool kit before
starting on their trip. =,
During recent rambles over the
country encountered many disciples
of the will You-Lend- Me" Clup.
On one occasion l met a fellow from
a nearby State who was starting on
a. tour Of the West. His car had
stopped for some reason unknown
to him and he asked assistance.
I soon traced the trouble to the
gas line and asked him for wrench
with which to remove the coupling.
He said he had no wrenches but
he thought he had a pair of pliers
some place in the car. These ne
brought forth after diligently search

They were of the side cutting

I soon remedied the. trouble with
equipment from my own tool box

a set of tools.
Aside from these special tools

New Overland Skies
Prove Sensations
Motor Show Season

Never in WHY'S overland's history
has one Of this company's new
models met with the unanimously
emphatic success accorded to the
new Overland six In standard and
deluxe sedan types, announced at
the various motor car shows held
throughout the country during the
past winter.
On display for the first time at
the New York national automobile
show. the new Overland six proved
to be q surprising revelation. finding
the entire motor car industry totally
unprepared for their announcement.
Its triumph there was repeated IN
every city where the cars were plac-
ed on display.
Limited production during the FIRST
three months Of the year caused
Willys- Overland to delay Its general
announcements Of this new model
until April s, when it was broad
casted from coast to coast, mas
much as more than 5000 Overland
skies have already been built and
production now exceeds 200 Of these
cars per day but is still inadequate
to fill all orders.
Built to meet the requirements of
that large body Of motor car owners
who have longed for the smooth
operation of q six-cylinder motor,
combined with the year-round COM
fort offered by the enclosed car, at
cost not beyond their means. this
car IS in every measure an automo-
bile for a very definite field.
Construction Of this new over
land has been carefully worked out
to give the highest degree OF service.
The ability Of the car to perform
under every possible condition OF
road and weather, has been thor
oughly proved by exhaustive tests.
Mountains have been climbed. seas
of mud traversed, deserts crossed,
snowstotms and binding rains en-
countered in the hard and relent-
less test trips, which carried this car
from coast to coast within the past
year: with the result that the
WHY'S Overland organization is con-
WINGED that the new Overland Six
will stand up under the most rigor-
GUS demands of endurance and
