BELL THE CAT
{ Margaret Hayden)

According to Supervisor J.. N.
Langworthy, who says the birds were
the first and about the only good
things he missed when he came to
Wyoming three years ago from Col
orado, these creatures are our very
best protectors of trees, including
even the pugnacious little sparrow.
Mr.. Langworthy. with numbers of
others. however. this spring has
noted an increase in our bird pop-
ulation, both as to numbers and
variety. DR.. j. w. Walthers, a
Brooklyn. N. Y. physician, who is
spending part of his vacation in
Cody waiting for the opening of
Sylvan pass. states that he this
week counted at least ten varieties
of birds at Beck lake, about a mile
south of Cody.
An uncollared dog is the excep-
ton, so why not bell the cat" and
save him from himself and the birds
as far as possible. According to
J. b. Warren, this is the humane
method adopted by owners of pet
cats in the east, where they are
taking thought for their winged
singing creatures. Many dogs are
bird lovers, but to bird life the cat
is the untamed tiger. 1t is not UNI
usual to see a hungry cat crouched

DAVE JONES KILLS BEAR
NEAR N0RTHFORK LODGE

Dave Jones bids fair to become
a local celebrity with the killing of
two bear nea his mountain lodge
on Mormon creek Saturday, and
from all the stories afioat about his
home town, II would think that
the rest of the wild game would
take to the tall timber with this
mighty hunter abroad.
The boys at his store state that
they have been in communication
with Mr.. Jones at his cabin. and
from all accounts of the killing, it
was a pair of the classy knickers
sold at the Jones store which did
the trick. According to their story,
Mr.. Jones had equipped himself
with a pair of these classy breeches,
when he decided to rusticate a week
in the mountains. and was so at
tired on the fateful morning when
he came across the two bear. Ma
turally the simple creatures took
Mr.. Jones for a dude and being
curious to know where he had pro-
cured such fancy toys. hesitated,
and were lost.
The bear are cry fine specimens
of the black and brown variety and
were secured several miles up Nor
mon creek. in a country known to
be very plentiful with bear.

Gov. Ross Removes
LOOMS from Office

Wyoming, and the governor having
heard all the evidence and the ar
guments and being fully advised,
does find generally against the de
PENDANT, William H. LOOMS, Sher-
iff of Park county. Wyoming, and
find that he has wilfully failed, neg
lected and refused to perform the
duties imposed on him as sheriff of
Park county, Wyoming, by Chapter
III, Session Laws of Wyoming,
1921. during his incumbency in Of
flee. and has been guilty during
said period of in%toxication and
drunkenness.
That in accordance with said
findings. it is hereby ordered that
w. H. LOOMS, Esquire, sheriff of
Park county, Wyoming, be and is
hereby removed from the office of
sheriff of Park county. state of Wy
oming.
Dated at Cheyenne this eleventh
day of June. A. d. 1926"
NELLIE TAYLOE ROSS,
Governor.
The governors letter to the coun-
ty commissioners of Park county.
p. E. Markham, chairman, says:
MIR. w. H. Loomis, sheriff of
Park counay. appeared before me at
ia formal hearing at Cody. Park
county. Wyoming, on April OF, 2S
20 and 80. 1925. to answer charges
preferred against him alleging neg
lect of duty and drunkenness un-
der the provisions of the law au-
thorizing the removal of certain Of
fcers for such offenses. in the
complaint filed against him there
were twelve charges, of which three
involved ~offenses alleged to have
been committed during the present
term: all the other charges involved
offenses which we're alleged to
have taken place prior to the pres
ent term.
"At the hearing of the case. coun-
sci for the sheriff objected to the
admission of any testimony on the
latter charges on the ground that
an officer may not be removed for
offenses committed in a prior term.
l am advised that there is a great
conflict of opinion between courts
upon this question, and the Supreme
court of Wyoming has not passed
upon it. Since the highest court
in u own state has not decided
this point. I have not felt justified
in the study of the evidence to re-
ject from consideration that relating
to the previous term upon a mere
technical objection. In so doing
it would have eliminated the larger
portion of the evidence which was
submitted to me. All the evidence
of acts of misconduct during the
sheriff's previous term lent proof
that he is a type of a man unified
for the office he occupies and that
his previous misconduct disqualifies
him for service in that position
According to reports, Mr.. LOOMS
is not to surrender his office without
a fight, and it has been stated from
Cheyenne that some legal proceed
ings are to be filed to further fight
the removal order.
