Omaha MAN DIES
HERE; CONCLUSION
OF BRAIN IS CAUSE

Jasper Jasperson, IS, who arrived
here from Omaha recently to work
for the Thompson Brothers on their
ranch near this city, died here Friday
doubtless from conclusion of
the brain, an injury to his haed hav-
ing been sustained during an epileptic
fit, to which he was subject.
Jasperson was put to bed in the
town Jail by Marshall Sam Forrest,
when it was evident that the man had
no other place to go. Every attention
possible was given him, but while
the marshall was absent on his nightly
rounds about four o'clock, the mar
passed away.
The funeral was held here Satur-
day afternoon with w. P. Tucker,
Powell undertaken, in charge. The
Rev. Carl Brown, Of the Presbyterian
Church, read a service at the grave in

Here Folks, Read This!

Readers of the Enterprise, includ-
ing those who borrow it, are request
ed to search frantically in their wood
boxes, sheds, bread boxes, libraries,
safety deposit boxes and other recep-
tacles for copies of the first edition
of the Enterprise of last Wednesday,
january 81, and for each copy of this
edition returned to this office the
sum Of five cents in cash will be paid.
The papers of this edition can be
recognized if the reader will find the
article on the first page which referr-
ed TO j. II. Schwoob as "the Horo-
able" ]. NJ. Schwoob, and while it is
conceded that the Honorable MI.
Schwoob harbors a few c~haracteris-
tics that could consistently be defined
as "horrible," still it was not the in
tention of the Enterprise to reveal
Cody's esteemed citizens u%nimport-
ant characteristics when he has so
many prominently commendable
traits which transcend any that may
be considered disadynntageous to him.
However, now that the Enterprises
tli.teen thousand subscribers, more OF
less have been made acquainted with
the other side If The Honorable j. NJ.
Schwoob's nature, the value of the
edition that broadcast the information
to the world has become apparent to
the Enterprise. and a vigorous effort
will now be made to corral every a

TO the end that they may be sent to
Washington and preserved in the ma
tional archives with such other inn
portant editions ms the ones that an
nounced the Louisiana Purchase, the
assassination of President Lincoln,
the discovery Of Shoshone Canyon,
and the ratification of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
It Is understood that Mr.. Schwoob
made a valiant effort TO buy up all
of the papers of the first edition that
were placed on the local newsstand,
but II Is presumed that there may be
n number of the coveted papers still
lying around loose, and for them the

RANCH House BURNS;
FAMILY LOSES ALL or
ITS POSSESSIONS
Destroyed Ranch Home Owned
by Marion Williams, Tenanted
by Cecil Huntington-Relief
Petition Circulated.

The house, woodshed, and ice house
on the Marion Williams ranch in the
South Fork district were burned to
the ground about six o'clock last
Thursday morning, none of the con-
tents of the buildings being saved.
The house was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cecil Huntington and their chill
dren, but the fire, which evidently
had its inception in the roof, was not
discovered before the occupants were
able to remove any of the contents.
A piano was listed among the articles
destroyed.
1t is believed that a spark from the
chimney ignited the roof, the strong
wind which was blowing at the time
tanning the spark into an uncontroll-
able blaze.
The Huntingtons rented the ranch,
and at the present time are in some
what Strengthened circumstances, all
clothing and supplies in the house
having been lost, with no immediate
means to alleviate this condition. The
children are all small minors. Peti-
tions for the relief of the family are
being circulated and kindly disposed
persons can contribute either cash,
clothing, provisions, or anything else
the family may be able to use.

Alta Booth Dunn Discusses Oh
Labor Amendment

One of the most drastic amend
ments to the federal constitution,
known as the child labor amendment.
is now under consideration by the leg
islature of the 4S states of the Union
and, if t~hree-fourths of them ratify
the amendment, it will become a part
of the Constitution. 1t is apparent
to many Students of sane legislation
that such amendment would work out
detrimenta!ly to the best interests of
the people as a whole, but the amend
ment has many supporters, who be-
lieve it should be ratified. Among
the latter is Governor Ross of this
state, and she recommends its pas
sage in her message to the state leg
islature. Aligned with those who can
not see sufficient merit in the pro-
posed amendment to warrant its rat
ification is Mrs. Alta Booth Dunn,
known to practically everybody here,
and VINO Is a contributor to a number
Of meritorious periodicals. Among
them is the Breeders Gazette, and
Mrs. Dunn's article on the proposed
amendment IN the current issue of
that paper, with Governor Ross re-
commentator to the Legislature, are
herewith reproduced for the perusal
of everyone who is interested in the
proposed legislation:

AN EXPERT ANALYSIS
PROVES CITY Water
IN GOOD CONDITION
Water Consumers Can Now Fall
Back on Favorite Beverage
Moonshine Consumption Will
Decline.

Expert analysis of the town of
Cody's water, taken from the storage
reservoir by Marshall Sam Forrest,
should restore ~normality to the minds
of numerous residents Of the town
who have been subjected to night
mares in which red bugs and typhoid
germs in drinking water have been
featured as instruments of death a.
gainst which it would be futile to bat
tie, for, the analysis, made by State
Chemist L. E. Walter, discloses the
fact that "This water is in good con-
dition and suitable for all domestic
uses"
As a result of this analysis, the
consumption of moonshine in this
community is expected to fall off i'm
mediately.
The water was taken from the res
ervoir on January 18th, and analysed
four days later.
This is what the state chemist re-
ported:
Odor, none; color, none; turbidity,
slight; sediment, medium; free am
monia, .OO760; albuminoud ammonia,
.O1240; ~nitrates, none; chlorine, 1.12;
oxygen consumed, 100; hardness,
21.9; total solids, 4O.4; fixed solids
32.9; total bacteria per &C., $40; col
on bacilla per &C., none

nouncement that its order for mourn

Gently placed with a Denver s%tationer'
will be cancelled Immediately. The

RECOMMENDED BY GOVERNOR
ROSS

At it, last session, The Congress of
the United States submitted to the
several states an amendment to the
Federal Constitution, commonly
known as the Child Labor Amend
ment. While realizing that many
reasonable arguments may be adj
vauced against any additional grant
of power to the Federal government
such ms will further encourage CEN
traiization OF power and while per-
sonally ! should have preferred that
the object of this amendment had
teeh achieved through legislation in
the separate states, l feel, that be-
cause Of the hkihood of such action
Is so remote IN the states where it is
most needed, the amendment should
be ratified.
tke moral conscience of the Amer
lean people has long been aroused on
the subject OF child labor and the
good which will be derived from its
abolition will, in my opinion far out
weigh any risk Of an abuse of power
which may De felt to be involved in
the amendment. II is not reasonable
to assume that the representation in
Congress cannot be trusted to enact
a law that Is both conservative and
safe and ut the same time adequate
foI tho projection Of children. ]
az horrig'i therofore. thqt oue no
Rrsasive young state will be rmoug
The first to ratify the amendment.

Sheriff Gets Whiskey
in Local Wood Shed

Joe Isham, an old resident Of this
city. was arrested Monday evening
after the sherir's office had confis-
Gated a quantity of liquor found in
the woodshed of his home on Fourth
street. There were five ten-gallon
containers filled with liquor, and one
empty ten-gallon container in the
cache.
Isham disclaims ownership Of the
whiskey, and claims that it was stored
there for another person. He is now
at liberty under a one-thousand dol
lar bond.
Mr.. Isham has always borne an ex-
eellent reputation in this community
and has never before been connected

Russell CRANE TO
SUE TOWN OF CODY
FOR Big DAMAGES
Claims Water From Reservoir
Seeped Onto Hay Meadow, De-
stroying Crop.

Russell Crane has filed suit against
the Town of Cody for damages of
$4,000 alleged to have been incurred
by him through the loss of a hay
crop growing on his land below the
city reservoir. The complaint states
that seepage from the reservoir caus-
ed a foX-tail growth which damaged
most of the hay in a 2S-acre meadow.

GREYBULL TEAM
Defeated BY LOCAL
SCHOOL H0OPSTERS
Game is Fast and Deadlocked Un-
til Larson Shoots Winning
Score on Free Throw.

The greybull high school basket
ball five, which has been sweeping
everything before it this season, met
defeat at the hands of the Cody high
school team last Thursday night, the
victory notching the stick for the Sc
cond time this season for the boys
from Buffalo Bills home town, and
marking the first defeat, it is said, for
the Greybull boys.
The local team presented a different
lineup than that which represented
the school in the last four games, and
it is unnecessary to say that it was q
more formidable lineup. McGinnis
and Coggswell were in the guard po-
sitions, Brown at center, and Wilson
and ICELAND played the forward po-
sitions. Greybun took the lead early
in the game, and at the end of the
second quarter enjoyed a six point
margin. The local boys came out of
their lassitude in the second half, and
played an even game with the invad-
ers from that time forward. In the
last quarter, Wilson was removed
from the game for making his fourth
personal foul, and was replaced by
Larson, who played a good game al
so. A foul a short time before the
close of the game gave Larson a
freethrow, and he came to the assist
ance of his team by dropping it neat
lly through the hoop, making the
score II to 16 in favor of the local
boys.
McGinnis, Coggswell and Wilson
made the other scores for the victors,
but they received the right sort of
cooperation from their teammates,
and the credit for the victory goes
to the team as a whole.
The team as it now lines up shows
more shooting accuracy, better team
work, and a better knowledge of the
game, and if the team can be kept
intact, with Larson and other capable
substitutes TO fill emergency roles,
the rest of the teams in the circuit
will have to strain themselves to beat
the Cody boys.
Wells Vaught of Powell refereed.
The preliminary game was played
between two picked teams of girls
from the local high school, and was
replete with amusement for tho enec-
tators. One or two of the girls could
show some alleged male basketball
p%lnvers how to play the game.
Creybull stopped in Powell Friday
night and took the Powell team into
camp by a score of 10 to 0. The game
was slow, according to spectators who
went over to the neighboring town to
see the fracas.

Child

tBy Alta Booth DUNN
I have been asked so repeatedly
to speak to the mothers among Ga
zette readers OF the Child Labor A
mendment that l cannot refuse. But
as fathers are parents as much as
mothers they are equally responsible,
and, therefore, no less concerned a.
bout child welfare. So, father, do
not YEARLY turn to the market re-
ports, but hear me out; for this is no
mere woman-stutf, as l shall show
you. The most valuable crop" on
the place is in danger Of ruin through
nationalized idleness. Many of you,
perhaps toe much occupied with your
regular jobs 70 keep fully informed
about questions of the day, do not
know the provisions of the proposed
Goth amendment. Others, having no
youngsters at wage-earning, may not
consider themselves directly inter-
ested, or are not aware that they
have any lav-so in the matter. / am
here to tell you that it is high time
to wake up to what is going on if
you value your continued right to le-
gal control of your own children; al
so to tell you why and how.
First, l wish to emphasize the fact
that this is nc ordinary child-labor
bill, drafted for the protection Of
youth now employed in mills, can
n%eries, beet-fields, mines and sweat
shops, somewhere away Off yonder. It
is a proposed amendment to the
United States Constitution; and it
stipulates that 1.-THE Congress shall
have power to limit, regulate and pro-
hibit the labor of persons under IS
years of age" This means your chill
dren and mine; and those Of Tom,
Dick and Mary, Martha and Mary
everybody children, everywhere in
this domain. To apply the term Of
"child-labor" to work of ~1S-year-olds
seem in itself a little ridiculous, and
especially so TO farm people. TO you
self-made men who have been doing
useful work nearly all your lives; to
you self-reliant women, many Of
whom were married and capable of
tending your own homes at this age,
and some Of whom were already mo-
theirs.
Both the Gazette and the American
Farm Bureau Federation-not TO
mention various other reliables-have
taken n firm stand against this mea-
sure. Personally, | am opposed to II
not because the editors say 50, for
my instructions are 70 discuss the
subject from my own viewpoint. But
for the reason that n sane and dis

rnents b5t'i Cor anil r~r'a " h1re
