Days of 49 Party to be
Given by

The days of 40, when Frisco was an
infant, and the rush to California in
search of gold brought together in
that historical little city the strangest
conglomeration of characters ever
co~ngregated, will be re-enacted in this
city the evening of April 18th, when
the Freshmen class will give its an
nual party. The party will take place
in the high school gymnasium, and
being sponsored by Prof. H. Gross
man, and the various committees, en-
tertainment, invitation, decoration,
and Refreshments, are working like
beavers to perfect plans that will
make this party memorable in class
party annals.
Costumes of the early western min
er will be worn. if the committees
plans are carried out, and the rudely
constructed bar, at which the '49-er
was wont to rail" one foot and drink
'er down, will be in evidence. And,
the punch, according to Elizabeth
ThurstOn, of the committee, will
have a punch that will make the inn
bibers forget the fact that the bever-
ages of 40 always contained n "kick."
Roulette wheels, faro games, and
other early day features will doubtless
be present at the party, and there will
be hundreds of thousands of dollars
represented by specially printed paper
money which will be gambled away
and spent with careless abandon.
An Indian war dance probably will
be staged, and there will be good
music, to which the 49-ers will dance.
All high school members will be in
vited, and it is bound to be a out
standing high school event.

GOV. NELLIE I. ROSS WILL PRESIDE
OVER PROCEEDING AGAINST SHERIFF
Chief Executive to be in Cody April 20
to Hear Trial of County Official
Charged with Malfeasance

On the goth of April, Nellie Tayloe
Ross, Governor of Wyoming, will
come to Cody to preside at the hear
ing of Sheriff William H. LOOMS, of
Park County, charged with miscon-
duct and neglect of the duties of his
office.
This case originated at the trial
of Fay Williford, charged with the
possession and transportation of in
toxicating liquors, when Williford
testified that he had paid the sheriff
a sum of money for protection while
he carried on his liquor business.
Williford's testimony was substantial
ed by that of his younger brother,
who told a tale of riding into the
country on the spare tire of the car
in which the sheriff and elder Wilt
ford were riding, and while looking
through the window in the back of
the car. witnessed the transfer of
money from his brother to Loomis.
1t was at this time that Judge P.
w. Metz requested the governor to
send a representative to investigate
and prefer charges, and Avery Hag-

MANY NIMR0DS ARE
DISAPPOINTED ON The
OPENING FISH DAY

The fishing season opened last
Thursday, April End, but, judging
from the catches that have been re-
ported so far, neglected his
duty in failing to notify the fish that
they were to govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
A party composed of Walter
Owens, Mrs. Owens, and Mrs. Lettie
Davies is reported to have been the
most successful in landing trout max
ing a haul of Is fish. Walt, who has
always been considered a champion,
says that the women showed new
ones in the art of angling, Mrs.
Davies catching nine, and Mrs. Owens
five. Mr.. Owens caught one fish, but
blames this on the fact that the ladies
kept him busy removing the fish from
their hooks and re-baiting for them.
The entire catch was made Within
forty-five minutes at the point where
the North Fork empties into the Sho-
shone reservoir.
Mike Clark was another of the local
Nimrods who brushed the sand from
his eyes early Thursday morning, and
set forth with a vision of fried trout
for dinner. When asked what luck
he had had, Mike said, 81 caught
eight fish" and as he settled down n
gain to the thrilling tale he was read
in "Western Stories," he added
and one of them was a trout" But
he and William Felsheim had better
luck on Sunday, when they succeeded
in landing nine nice sized fish.
Otto Koenig, who is reputed to al
ways come home with a good string,
had TO be content with only -four
of the speckled beauties which were
caught in the Shoshone reservoir.
There are many Others who went
forth with high hopes. only to return
with their spirits and other parts OF
their anntomies dampened, to satisfy
their fish appetites with bacon and
eggs, or whatever else they happened
to have on hand.

CUSTER ACTION INSTITUTED AGAINST
STATE GAME AND FISH COMMISSIONER
Gov. Ross Files Charges Misconduct
and Neglect of Duty---Charges of
~Intoxication Are Also Cited

The news that charges of mis-
conduct and neglect of duty had been
filed against State Game Commission
err Frank. S. Smith by Governor Ross
came as a surprise to the people of
this section who have considered him
a capable official with an excellent
understanding of the game situation.
Mr.. Smith has many friends here who
hope to learn that the charges are
unfounded.
These charges were filed through
the attorney generals office on April
9th. The date for hearing is set for
April 18th. Among the charges made
against Mr.. Smith are as follows:
"That he failed and neglected
to provide and distribute through
the state the necessary fishing license
for the use and convenience of those
persons desiring to fish at the open
ing season" last Thursday morning.
The governor charges also include
that Commissioner Smith used Gin
sulting, obscene and scandalous Ian
guage" in a letter to Mrs. w. o. Bell,
wife of a then assistant game and fish
commissioner; that he "wrongfully
and miliciously charged the said w.
o. Bell with official misconduct and
neglect of duty" and that Smith has

port to the chef executive, it was
felt that the evidence was sufficient
to warrant the filing of charges, with
the result that information was filed
last week by Joseph E. McElvain,
county and prosecuting attorney of
this county, and on Tuesday of this
week summons was served upon the
sheriff by Thomas Tucker. coroner.
This is without doubt the first case
in the history of the State of Wyo-
ming, or any other state. where a
woman has been called upon to act
in the capacity of magistrate in a
case of this nature. 1t is understood
that Governor Ross will occupy the
judges bench in the court ROOF here
and will act as Judge and jury at the
hearing.
There is considerable speculation
as to why the hearing is being held
here in Cody instead of the state
capitol, as it is understood to be the
usual procedure in such instances.
County Attorney McElvain will
present the evidence to the governor,
while Mr.. Loomis will be represented
by H. C. Bronze. of Basin.
1t has been given out that a num-
Der of witnesses will be called by
both sides.
