Bouchard said. received a prize-two

LOOMS Making Hard Fight

DRY again began to play tricks on him
and the words 81 think" crept into the
testimony at frequent intervals. How
ever, the witness did remember
that Jack F. Files, Glen Williford
and the sheriff went to the Dickie's
ranch together, the sheriff having
been apprised, according to his testi-
mony, that he was interested in buy
ing the ranch in order to provide a
location for a still.
Following a conversation with the
sheriff in Casper early in December,
he said he again came to Cody to be-
gin b%ootlegging operations. He
brought another load of liquor with
him, he stated.
Sheriff LOOMS, he said, told him
that he had been reelected, and
that he thought he had a prosecuting
attorney who would not "stick his
nose in" This was reassuring, he
said he told the sheriff.
Attorney Bronze fired a Big Bertha
when he asked Williford if he had
ever talked with Frank Lee of Casper
near or in the Court house at Casper,
about his bootlegging operations, and
whether he did not tell Lee that he
had V paid a cent to any officers
for professionalism whether he had
not said he was mt of the biggest OPP
orators in the state, and always out
witted the officers.
Williford answered with vehemence
that he did talk to Lee at the time
stated, but that he had never talked to
Lee about bootlegging in his life.
1t is understood that Lee is here to
testify in regard to that conversation.
Glen Williford, brother of the prev
ious witness, was then called to the

preferred to have the house watched,
if the sheriff suspected anything was
wrong, she declared.
"Did he say he wanted to get some
thing on Viola?" asked Mr.. McElvain.

WELL, in substance?"

At this point the governor asked
Mrs. Reggie if the sheriff told her why
he wanted the house watched.
mo, he didn't" she replied.
There was no cross-examination,
Mr.. Bronze evidently being well pleas
ed with this testimony.
The afternoon session on Tuesday
opened with a court room crowded to
its capacity with spectators and wit
nesses.
The first person called to the stand
by the prosecution was Henry Pool,
who stated that he was the proprietor
of a soft drink parlor and had been
approached by A. E. Carey, a prisoner
in the county Jail at that time, who

or something of that sort, he said,
but he was not positive about the
dates because he twas not celebrat-
ing" Williford testified that he
told Sheriff Loomis on the night of
their agreement" that he had bought
an auto load of liquor with him from
Casper, told him where he had put
the stuff" and asked if there was any
danger of molestation. He had each
ed it behind the Irma, he said, and the
sheriff assured him that it would be
all right. He didn't remember wheth-
er the sheriff gave him this crafty
ing assurance before or after he had
made the alleged payment of $255 for
protection. The sheriff, he averred,
impressed him with the necessity of
obtaining $500 to pronounce the re-
lease of his car.
81 understand you need money"
were the words of Williford used in
opening the alleged negotiations with
the sheriff, the former testified. Then
followed the imputed deal in which
the sheriff was to receive $3.50 down
and the balance of his remuneration
at the rate of one dollar per gallon for
all moonshine the witness had for
sale in the county,
1t was remarked that Williford's
volubility had waned during the ex-
animation of the attorney for the de-
tense, and his testimony had lost
much of its d~irectness.
Williford stated that when the
sheriff made his alleged demand for
$500, he announced that he would Ego

COOPERATE WITH THE PAPER

A mistaken idea with some people
is that the newspaper is an individual
proposition. If they don't like the
editor they feel that they must knock
the paper and stand in the way of its
success whenever possible.
They do not realize that the local
paper is just as much a part of the
community as the schools, churches or
anything else. The newspaper is diff
ferent from any other business, it is 8
community affair. 1t is for service to
the people and not for any individual.
You may not like the editor and the
editor may not love you any too well
but the paper is responsible, does
just as much for you as the service
rendered others. There is nothing
personal with it; it is here for a pur-
pose and that purpose is to do what
good it can in every way and the
greater the support Of those it under"
takes to serve the better service it
can render.
1t takes the people to make a good
newspaper, and without the help of
the people, no one can run success

THE WAY OF THE LAW

If a man were to give another an
orange he would simply say: 81 give
you this orange"
But when the transaction is in
trusted to lawyer to put in writing,
he adopts this form:
81 hereby give and convey to you,
all and singular, my estate and in
terest, right, title, claim and advan-
tages of and in said orange, together
with all its rind, juice, pulp and pips,
and all rights and advantages there
in, with full power to bite such and
otherwise eat the same or give the
same away, with or without the rind,
be1a R@fe pup D" or PlPs' "a anything
other deed or deeds, instrument or in
struments of whatever nature or kind
whatsoever to the contrary in any
wise Notwithstanding"

INDIFFERENCE
Continued from Page One)


union is the most effective method
ever devised to protect and promote
the welfare of the workers, but to
function successfully it is absolutely
necessary that every member be in
terested in the work at hand. Indif-
ference on the part of the workers.,
more than anything else is the cause
of lack of progress in the labor
movement because if you are not in
terested in your own welfare then it
is folly to expect that any one else
will be. Do not permit anything to
divert your attention away from the
business of your union, but make it
a point at all times to attend the
meetings of your union and take an
active interest in its affairs. Get out
and spread the principles of unionism
among the unorganized and urge up
on them the necessity of getting into
the organization so that all may be
benefited thereby.
Do not be Indifferent to the work
ers outside the ranks of the organi-
zation, but use every effort to induce
them to come in.

ASK MAYOR
To LOCATE
LEGATEE
Man Who Once Worked
for City Now Owns
Irish Estates.

Hours of toll are ended for
Michael O'Toole, day laborer of San
Antonio, who has fallen heir to one
of the richest estates in his native
Ireland.
Search for O'Toole was instituted
Monday morning, when Mayor Tobin
received a letter from p. ]. B. Daily,
barrister, of Dublin, asking that the
man be found and informed that he
is heir to one Of the Emerald Isles
big estates.
"a man, Michael O'Toole, left Ire
land three years ago and went to the
United States. He is supposed to be
living in or near San Antonio" Daily
wrote in the Letter to the mayor.
WORKED FOR CITY.
"Please insert this in the daily
papers, if you cannot find him.
HE has fallen heir to a large
estate on the death of his uncle, John
0'Toole."
Eight months ago an Irishman who
was almost deaf applied to Charles
f. A. Hummel, city paymaster, for
work. He had a recommendation
from Sheriff James Stevens, and 1t
was largely on this recommendation
that he was given a job as day lab
orer in the city street department.
His salary was $3.50 daily.
The laborer's name was Michael
O'Toole-believed to be the same man
now being sought as heir Of the Ire
land estate.
He resigned from his city job three
months ago.
WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
1t is not known what he has been
doing since then, although it has been
learned that he lived in a rooming
house on South Flores street.
1t is believed that Sheriff Stevens
knows where the man can be found,
but the sheriff is sick at home and
his physician has given orders that
he not be permitted to talk until his
condition improves.
Other members of the sheriff's force
do not know the man, and city Off
GERS are stumped in their search I'M
less they can learn at what address
on South Flores street he lives.
