kILCORE IS ASSESSED
4 DAMAGES ONE CENT
Judge Metz Cleans up Criminal
Docket in Park County
Jury Called at Basin

Ed. Kilgore was assessed damages
of one cent and o. d. Gaines was re-
quired to pay the costs in the case of
Kilgore VS.. Gaines. in a suit involv-
ing a dispute over a packer sacker,
which zoe with a portable alfalfa
mill and which Kilgore had filed re-
plevin proceedings against Gaines.
The jury returned a verdict Wednes-
day night after being out but a short
time. The case consumed all of Tues
day and Wednesday.
(, The east of the State VS.. w. S.
Widdous, charged with possession of
Intoxicating liquor, was retired before
a new jury Thursday after the jury
failed to reach a decision on Satur-
day of the week previous after being
out for more than eighteen hours.
The result vas that the jury vas dis
missed at eleven O'Clock Saturday
night after having been out since
boon without having been able to
reach a decision. and the defendant
discharged.
Judge Metz decided that inasmuch
as considerable time and money had
been spent on the case and both jur-
led tended toward the acquittal of
Widdous, it was useless to put the
county to further expense. and dis
missed the case. He also issued an
order for the destruction of the Ii
-quor responsible for the suit. The
first jury when dismissed stood Z to 5
in favor of acquittal and the second
jury stood 10 to 2 in favor of acquit-
al at the time of their dismissal.
The dismissal of the Widdous case
cleaned up the criminal docket for
Park county, with the exception of
the Simpson case. which was venued
to Big Horn county. Judge Metz left
for Basin Friday morning, where a
jury had been called to report on Mon
day morning of this week. The judge
has been on the bench almost contin-
ually since last July.

Toggery is Remodeled
to Make Room for Stock

Bill Loewer, proprietor of The
Toggery, is remodeling the interior
of his place of business with a view
to making more room for his stock
of goods, which has continued to grow
until the store is becoming crowded
for space. The partition between the
store and the tailor shop has been
moved back and new shelving is being
constructed with glass fronts for the
protection of the merchandise.
The Toggery was established Mar
CHI Oath, 1908, and has been doing bust
ness continually since that time under
the same firm name and management.
Having been in business for himself
for % years Mr.. Loewer is now the
oldest business man in Cody.
The Toggery first opened its doors
for business in the old Williams build
ing next to the first National bank,
and later moved into its WI building
on the Arnold lot west of the Golden
Rule store. Later these buildings
were destroyed by fire, but The Tog-
Pery had in the meantime moved into
.he sharf building now occupied by
the Manhattan cafe. A few years
later it was moved across the street
to where the Volckmer Shop now is,
and after a time moved back TO the
Sharf building, where it continued to
do business until two years ago, when
Mr.. Loewer purchased the building
where The Toggery is now located
ut 10 East Cody.
Since moving into the new building
Mr.. Loewer has gone into the ready
made clothing business more extern
sively. Recently n line of shoes has
been added TO his stock, and within
n short time he expects TO be handling
everything that men and boys wear.

FIRE DAMAGES HOUSE
OF R. P. HINDMAN

The Cody Fire Department was call
ed out about four o'clock last Satur-
day morning to extinguish a blaze that
greatly damaged the roopling house
and residence of Mr.. and Mrs. R. P.
Hindman on Rumsey avcnue and 4th
street.
The origin of the fire was unknown,
but it is believed it started either from
the kitchen range or the furnace in
the basement, as the fire was burning
most intensely in that part Of the
house where these are located.
The fire department responded to
the call quickly and did splendidly
work in extinguishing the flames
which threatened to consume the en-
tire house. The fire had gained con-
Siderable Roadway before an alarm
was turned in, and aided by a strong
wind from the west, it IA one of the
most difficult blazes that the local
department has ever been called upon
to combat.
The fire will result in considerable
loss of property to Mr.. and Mrs. Hind
man, as nearly every section of the
house was damaged by fire, water, or
smoke, as was much of the furniture.

Sayles-S chwoob Garage
Adopts New Firm Name

The Central Garage and Filling
Station is the new name under which
the Sayles and Schwoob garage is
now doing business. This seemed an
appropriate title for the new firm,
inasmuch as it is the most centrally
located garage in the city.
The new garage, which was for
merely the Ford Service Station, oper-
ated by the II. w. Thurston Co. Inc,
will continue under the ownership of
Henry Sayles and ]. NJ. Schwoob, and
will be under the management Of
Thornton Schwoob.
The new firm has recently secured
the agency for the Overland and
Willys-Knight automobiles, and in adj
dition to this will handle the Hudson
Essex. for which Thornton Schwoob
has had the agency in this territory
for the past year.
The Central" Is also equipped TO
give first class service in gas and oils,
tires and accessories, genuine Ford
parts and expert mechanical service.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
CODY FEDERAL BLDG.

The Public Building bill, H. r.
$3.50, which has to do with appropri-
atoms for public building in various
states and which if passed will insure
'Cody's new federal building to house
the post office and Shoshone forest
offices, has passed the house and SEN
ate committee or Public building has
voted unanimously in favor of its
passage. There is every reason TO be-
lieve that this bill will be passed by
the senate within a short time.
In the event that this bill passes, the
sun of 1880 will be available for
the construction of Cody's new fed
eral building, which has been hanging
fire for n number of years. A site
for the building has been secured on
the lot south of the First National
bank, and the plans which were drawn
several years ago have recently been
revised.

BUSINESS men
ORGANIZE GOLF CLUB

A golf club has been organized by a
number of Cody business men and
plans are rapidly going forward that
a course may be constructed and
everything in readiness for the coming
season. An election of officers has
been held and the following men Sc
lected for the first year; George T.
Beck, president; c. E. Parker. secre-
tary, and r. w. Allen. treasurer. So
far about 35 members have signed up.
Rev. Arthur H. Beatty, head of the
grounds committee, states that the
committee has been at work during
the past week looking over the
grounds about Cody and have chosen
u site near Newton lake for the build
ing of a course, providing arrange
ments can be made for the leasing of
the land. which is owned by reclama-
ton service. II is not expected that
any difficulty will be encountered in
securing the use of the land.
T. f. King, who attended a meet
ing of the club on Monday night,
states that he has communicated with
MI. White, commissary agent for the
Burlington railroad. and that he is
heartily in favor Of n golf course near
Cody for the benefit OF rail tourists,
and that he will cooperate in every
way possible in carrying out the plans
the club.

Boom is Thing
of Past Says MIR. Holm

Roy Holm of Cody, who recently
returned from Fit. Auderdale, Florida,
is of the opinion that the days of the
Florida boom are over. Rapid turn
overs and skyrocket prices of real es-
tate are not so much in evidence 10Y
as was the cast a year ago and the
country is settling down to steady
progress.
Mr.. Holm, who has property inter-
ests at Fort Auderdale, states that
prosperity will continue there, how
ever, and that it will take five years
to complete the present building pro-
gram. Building permits to the extent
of 100000 were issued in that city
during the month Of January.
