Not Walter Pederman
In Colt Stealing Case

In an article in the Enterprise last
week regarding the arrest of Kenneth
Grips and Leslie Billings for the
theft of a colt, it was stated that the
warrant had been sworn out by Ran
ger Walter Pederman.
The Enterprise hastens to correct
this statement, as it should have been
William Pederman, a brother of the
ranger.
Persons familiar with the case state
that there was no real grounds for
having these men arrested as they
had only picked up the colt and taken
it home to keep it from starving. The
animal was in such weakened condi-
ton from lack of food that it died at
the Billings ranch.
The trial for these men has been
called for the Goth of this month.

Mr.. Pearson has appealed to his
brother here to help him to uphold
his reputation for telling the truth,

Good Crowd Is Looked For At
First Game Of The
Season Here

The Cody High School football
team will play their first game of the
1925 season next Saturday, when they
meet the eleven from Basin on the
gridiron here.
The team of this year shows con-
siderable new material, many of the
men going into their first contest in
the coming game. A number of the
new men are showing up good in re-
gard TO speed and headwork, and
while the team this year is not what
could be called heavy, they are ex-
pected to make up for the lack of
weight with speed and a winning spir-
it.
A number of Cody people witnessed
the game last Saturday between Pow
ell and Basin, and some of these pre-
dict a victor for the local boys in
next Saturdays game.
As near as is known at this time,
those who will go on the field in the
first game is as follows:
Loftsgarden, left end; Walters,
left tackle; Martin, left Guard; Nc
MILAN, center; Fritzler, right guard;
Shippers, right tackle; Newton, right
end; Ingraham, quarterback; Cogs-
well, left half-back; Edwards, right
half-back; Wilson, full-back. Subs
titutes; Arnold, Todd, Parker, Kelley,
Hindman, Williams, Corder, Langwor-
thy, Worrell.
The boys are putting in strenuous
practices each evening, getting their
signals and plays down to n fine point.
A good crowd is looked for at the
opening OF the season to encourage
the home boys to take their first vic
tory.
The game is to start promptly at
2:30, and admission is 35 and 90 cents.

Thieves STRIP OIL.
WELLS OF VALUABLE
EQUIPMENT TOOLS
Around $500 Worth of Apparatus
Is Stolen While Wells
Are Shut Down

Drillers at the Mohney and Taylor
oil wells on the Shoshone structure
north of Cody are experiencing con-
siderable handicap and inconvenience
each day as the result of robberios
committed at these two rigs while
they were shut down about a month
ago.
Upon returning to work when the
drilling was resumed recently the OPP
orators and drillers discovered that
tools and equipment valued at be-
tween $1,000 and $500 had been tax
en- while the rigs were standing idle.
A generator, valued at $500, and
which would take two men to load on
a truck WIS stolen from the Mohney
well, and each day as the workmen
wish to use a tool they find that it
is gone.
Sheriff Dahlem has been notified
of the thefts, but up to date no clue
has been found that may lead to the
APPREHENSION of the thieves.
1t is unfortunate for this community
this theiving has occurred, as the
men who + drilling these wells are
working for the development of this
field, and should receive the whole
hearted support of the citizens of this
section, instead of this handicap which
is brought on by the stealing of this
equipment.

checkers-or he would not have gotten off so easily.

Man Long Has Sought
Dominion of the Air

The desire to conquer the air and
emulate the birds is no modern fancy.
but has agitated the minds Of men
mechanically inclined for ages. Rec
ords Of "a meeting of the Royal So
ciety. held in London, England, In
1879, give the information that "Mr.
Hooke read paper containing a de-
scription of the way Of flying. invent
ed and practiced by one NJ. Besnier. a
smith, the contrivance Of which con-
sisted In ordering four wings folding
and shutting to be moved by his hands
before and his legs behind, by which
he was, II was said, able to fly from q
high place across river to a pretty
distance" the Montreal Star says
One Of the members Of the Royal So
ciety apparently cast some doubts
upon the practicability Of the inven-
ton. ''Mr. Henshawe conceived that
by reason of the weakness of mans
arms for such kind Of motions. 1t
would be much more probable to make

springs and wheels, that should serve
to carry one or more men In 1t to act

Hunaorist Could Also
Be Bitter at Times

For real bitterness the following
(from Mark Twain) is hard to match:
"A myriad Of men are born they
labor and sweat and struggle for
bread; they squabble and scold and
fight; they scramble for little mean
advantages over each other. Age
creeps upon them; infirmities follow;
shames and humiliations bring down
their prides and their vanities. Those
they love are taken from them. and
the Joy of life is turned to aching
grief. The burden Of pain, care. mis-
cry, grows heavier year by year. At
length ambition is dead; pride is dead;
vanity is dead; longing for release is
in their place. 1t comes at last-the
only imprisoned gift earth ever had
for them-and they vanish from a
world where they were Of no conse-
quence; where they achieved nothing;
where they were mistake and fall
ure and a foolishness; where they
have left no sign that they have ex-
isted-a world which will lament them
for day and forget them forever.
Then another myriad takes their place,
and copies all they did, and goes along
the same profitless road. and vanishes
as they vanished-to make room for
another and another and a million
more myriads to follow the same arid
path through the same desert and ac-
complish what the first myriad. and
all the myriads that came after it, ac-
complished-nothingw.

lca's greatest humorist" Pathfinder
