YOUTHFUL PRISONER
BREAKS JAIL AND
STEAL HARDIN AUTO

Jhon Gilmore 18, a youth was
brought down from Billings last
week, charged with the theft of a
car in Cody belonging to a Lowell
man, proved himself to be a re-
s%ourceful and dangerous character
on Wednesday evening, when he
sawed himself out of the Park
county Jail, secured a Studebaker
touring car belonging to r. B.
Hardin and made his way out of
the state.
The next morning, with the miss
ing prisoner and car. the sheriff
soon had thrown out a series OF
s. o.. s. calls t. the adjacent towns
and 1t was not long until the Of
ficers at Billings were on the
track of the youth, who was said
to have been driving the car on
the Billings streets. The car was
located les a beet dump on the
Laurel-Billings road, not far from
the home of the lads grandparents
and a little watching soon gave the
officers the information that even
though the grandparents were abb
sent. the lad was stealing into their
home each evening to sleep.
His arrest was made and he was
brought to Cody Sunday and placed
in close confinement.
The lad is a son of Charles
Gilmore, former resident Of Cody,
and his mother is said to reside
in California. He already has sev-
eral confinements in the industrial
school to his credit, and has be-
come such a to the property
and interests of society that it is
likely he will be given a good stiff
jolt when arraigned before the
district judge.

RUFFLES' TURNS OUTLAW
IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

Ruffles, the gentleman bandit, is
daily reaping a rich harvest from
Yellowstone Park tourists, holding
up car after car along the road
between Norris and Upper Geyser
Basin.
The bandit spirit of Jesse James.
the hold-up bear, has been reborn
in Ruffles, a young buck deer. Sew
eral thousand willing victims were
rifled of sweets and cookies each
yea by Jesse James, but this sea-
son has found him missing from
the Yellowstone roads. In his place
is Ruffles, as well as a score or
more other bears.
There's nothing crude in Ruffles'
operations. He skirts the roadway
in the pines. patiently waiting for
a car load of "sage-brushers", as
the tourists are known, to spy him
and stop for closer inspection. Then
the gentleman bandit eagerly trots
forth and all but speaks for his
food. He gets it, too, for scores
of automobiles stop each day.
Ruffles is a three-year old and
acquired his tricks last winter at
Mammoth Hot Springs, where kind
hearted year around Park residents
annually feed the "beggar" deer.
When spring came he disappeared
and just recently took up his new
location.

LINE HALF COMPLETED

The gas line from Oregon basin
to Cody is more than half COM
pleted, the %trenching machine ross
ing Sage creek the first of the week
and is making about a mile a day
on its way into the town. Consid-
cradle difficulty was had at the

chine tipped over twice on the
steep, soft banks of the stream,
but it is again making swift head
way.

BUYS EQUIPMENT
FOR POWELL LAUNDRY

The town of Powell is to have an
up-to-date laundry as a result of
a deal made last week by John F.
Cody. when he purchased a COM
plete and modern laundry equip
ment at Laurel, Montana. and plans
to have same installed at Powell
within the ear future. The equip
ment secured by Mr.. Cook is all
less than three years DID,. includes
a refinite plant and is the most
approved equipment in use today.
Mr.. Cook has operated a laundry
at Cody for several years, and also
a plant at Lowell, at which place
he also handles the washing of his
Powell trade. With the installa-
ton of the new plant at Powell,
the laundry work there can be han
died with greater dispatch and econ
and the people of that town
will have an institution for which
there is an urgent demand.

TRUCKLOAD OF FISH
FRY FROM PARK TODAY

Tex Kennedy, assistant state
game warden is making a trip into
Yellowstone park today where he
is obtaining a truck load, or about
two hundred thousand fish fry,
native stock, for the streams of
Park county. 1t is planned to place
about half of the little trout in
the rearing pond at Kitty creek,
while many of them are to be plac-
ed in suitable rearing waters on
Southfork.
The Park county Rod and Gun
club is furnishing funds for this
work of stocking the streams with
baby trout, and a great deal of
volunteer work is also being re
ceived by those with cars who will
transport the fish from the hatch
cry to the places where they are
to be reared.

TRUCK ROLLS
OVER ROCK CREEK HILL

The big Graham truck. operated
by the Valley Ranch Co., of Valley,
driven by Pat Hennessy, went over
the Rock creek hill Sunday eve
ming at about five-thirty, almost
completely wrecking the machine
in its $50 foot flight to the
bottom of the grade and miracu-
lously doing nothing more than
bruising its two occupants, Hen
messy the driver, and Carl Bloom,
who was accompanying him to
Cody.
The truck was evidently travel
ing at a speed to fast to success
fully negotiate the sharp turn at
the crest of the hill, and as the
wheels slid around the curve, they
went over the bank, and the truck
rolled over several times before
coming to a standstill in the gulch
below.

OIL MEN ACTIVE
In BYRON FIELD

At the present time there is more
activity in the oil industry in the
Byron field than has been shown
in years. Some of the largest
companies in the business are drill
ing at widely separated spots in
this field, showing a confidence in
the structure hat leads them to
spend thousands of dollars.
The Ohio Oil company has been
drilling in this field for three years
in an attempt to penetrate the up
per sands and formations with an
idea of obtaining production in the
Dakota and Lakota horizons. The
first hole went bad at 1850 feet,
just as the big gas sand had been
struck. SO the pipe was cemented
at that point and well made into
a gas well. No better fortune was
met in the second hole a hundred
feet away, for just at the same
depth a series of fishing and pipe
jobs made the completion of that
hole impossible. Now work has
dred feet away.
The Standard Oil company OF
California is at work on its third
hole south of the Shoshone river,
at present completing the sidetrack-
ing of an eight-inch bailer. The
depth of this hole is 2,47O feet.
Two previous attempts struck some
high grade oil at 1000 feet.
The Utah Southern Oil and Re-
filming company, now drilling a
mile northwest from the Ohio well,
is at a depth of 1863 feet and have
encountered much gas as far as
the well has gone
The Producers and Refiners'
corporation a mile north of the
Utah Southern, is freezing up it's
string of 10 inch casing before
drilling any deeper. This well is
100 feet deep and drilling in
black shale, the company encount-
ering a flow of 100000 feet of
gas at 1,45O feet and oil at the
same depth. .-.
The Allen Oil company is drilling
at $3.50 feet on the well near
Pole Cat creek on the. Byron anti
cline. This well has also had gas,
SO the company is preparing to
drill another well south of the Sho-
shone river on the Brown farm.
This same company has had pro-
ducing wells On the Jones farm for
a number of years. All companies
are however, seeking to tap the
lower sands where it is believed
the large production lies.
The town of Powell is assured
of an unlimited supply of gas from
the Byron field which is of vast
proportions. Some biologists claim
there is a continuous fold that
connects with the Elk basin anti
If this be true and it is
proven to be oil bearing in it's
lower strata, 1t will mean a ire
menduous period of development to
drill over all the acreage involved.

POWELL AND BILLINGS
MEET ON DIAMOND

The Rex Laundry team took the
measure of the Powell nine IL to
6, in a fast game of baseball play
ed on the Powell field Sunday aft
ernoon. The game was a return
match from the Billings nine which
went down to defeat at the hands
of the Powell WALLPAPERS the Sunday
previous.
The game was a hard fought
contest, and with the exception of
the unlucky fourth inning, when
Pitcher, Wells Vaught let in five
runs, Powell had decidedly the best
of the game. Crawford and Pathe
were the battery for Billings while
Vaught was caught by Barker.

TELEPHONE
LINES HEAVY SERVICE
(Margaret Hayden)

1t has been ~facetiously and some
what %truthfully written that "co-
operation is the thief of time" The
finest sort of cooperation that car
be rendered on the three cooper
alive telephone lines of the Forest
Service at present is moderation in
the daytime use of these overcrowd-
ed lines.
These lines are primarily for fire
protection and were not designed
for social or commercial uses.
Rangers diaries are often lop-sided
when telephone maintenance time
has been measured against the 20
other activities to which official
time is charged.
Close in importance to fire pro-
lection is service to our increasing
crowds of summer so~journers, to
whom we are endeavoring to give
reasonable prompt communication
between great financial centers and
"the tops of the Rockies"
The none-too-gentle winds lodge
trees upon the wires. and lightning
takes it's toll in shorts, but it is
humanity possible to literally apply
the Golden Rule in the summer
time and postpone telephone teas
to u ampler season of the winter
solstice.
While our fire situation has SO
far been fortunate, there is much
other official business that could
be speeded up If official calls were
not almost invariably met with
Zine busy"
Forest business is for service and
cooperation above commercial gain,
and the Shoshone hopes to continue
to cooperate over its three tele-
phone lines for the maximum good
of all.

LIONS PARTY PASSES
THROUGH CODY TUESDAY

While Cody Is teeming through
out the summer with notables, no
more gleeful coterie has breathed
our rarefied atmosphere tina the
Miami Lions delegation last We
ming.
They left their Miami homes on
June IL, thirty-five in the party,
in a private car, with a number of
women, daughters of those whose
charm has made the tradition of
the south, the best publicity of it
all.
AS if to sell itself to those al
ready sold to their own southland,
the mountains brought down re-
f%reshing showers, which fell alike
on the purple and yellow robes of
the ladies' and the beach costumes
of the roaring southern Lions.
All along the tour they have
said it with southern Melodies"
including San Francisco where they
not only won highest honors as a
glee club, but won also for Miami
the International Lions Club Con-
vention next June. They also re-
ceived honorable mention as being
the largest delegation travelling the
longest distance.
The party was personally intro
duced at the Cody Inn by R. A.
Herman of Miami Beach, through
Jimmie Henson, now of Coral Gabl-'
es. Florida, and also of Wyoming.
Mr.. Herman sees a reciprocal flu
ture for Florida and Wyoming,
meeting as they do the call for
both winter and summer play
grounds. While Wyoming has the
charm of detachment, Florida is
only "a hours from 80 per cent
of the population.
After a tour of the northwest,
including Vancouver and Victoria,
a kindly providence brought the
Florida Special and the Governors
party together at Old Faithful,
where after singing more songs of
the South each member of the glee
club received handclasp, c%ongratu-
lations of a foremost lady from
the Southland. the Honorable Mel
lie Tayloe Ross-"hospitality, plus"
they called it, the freedom of the
West plus the charm of the South.
Nathaniel v. Hawthorne, Presi-
dent of the Miami Lions Club, said
they had nothing to sell but good
will" and that nothing counts so
much as personal friendship and
contact.
Under the direction of E. NJ.
Crawford, the harmony of the rich
southern voices caused the Cody
Burlington Inn to reverberate good
fellowship as they left Wyoming
Wilds for Miami beaches.

OFFICIALS TO
STUDY CLARKS FORK
ROAD POSSIBILITIES

G. ]. Stahl. assistant district for
ester. of the Denver office, arrived
in Cody Tuesday evening, and this
morning, in company with Supervis-
or j.. N. Langworthy went to the
Clarks Fork and Sunlight section
to study the possibilities of a road
up the Clarks fork into Sunlight.
The Forest department has already
had a survey of a road up thru
the canyon and the report was far
from being satisfactory, and the
plan is now to decide whether or
not a road can be practically made
over Bald Ridge.
Montana road men are also very
much interested in a road into
Sunlight and on to Cooke City
and Yellowstone park. Recently a
road bill to construct a road over
the Beartooth to Cooke City and
the park was defeated in Congress,
and now the Montanans are talking
of a road up the Clarks fork, thru
Sunlight to Cooke.
They propose to make a tour of
inspection over the Sunlight road
Sunday. at which time they will be
Joined by a representative of the
Cody club. The Improvement of the
present road over Bald ridge and
down Dead Indian hill, thence fol-
lowing the Clarks fork river to
Cooke City seems to the the most
practical route at this time.

BRIGHT LIGHTS TO THE
DEPOT BEING DESTROYED

If the people of Cody and the
town council are to put across the
plan of having a bright way from
Cody to the station, they must
have the most earnest considerations
of Cody youths, who with guns.
sling-shots and rocks are making
heavy inroads upon the incandes-
cent bulbs which furnish the bright
lights. The bright way has been
a reality about a week or ten
days, and already four of the ell
even lights which illuminate the
footpath this side of the bridge
have been destroyed.
This is a problem which must
be settled by the young boys of
Cody. They must give this pro-
ject their whole-hearted support.
and must do their utmost to pre-
serve the property along the loot
path themselves and see that other
youngsters give it the same respect.
The city council is very anxious
that this project be a success. as
is Dave Jones, who is largely re-
sponsible for the pathway to the
station. Any destructive activities
of the boys would be properly
punished should the proper officials
catch them in their work, but a
much better method to pursue
would be for the youngsters them
selves to make it their business to
protect and build up rather than
destroy this project.
