PLACES HEAD
BURGMAN CRAVE

Four members of the local Ameri-
a Legion post went to the Riverside
cemetery Sunday afternoon where
they place a headstone at the grave
of John Burgman, who died here jan
uary 31st, 1924. Mr.. Burgman, who
vas better known in Cody as "Pon-
toon Johnny" served as a corporal
in France with the 465th Engineers.
He was also a veteran of the Spanish
American war.
The headstone was secured by Fred
Coe Post from the government thru
the efforts of Frank Gunsul, former
post adjutant. and is a permanent
and fitting memorial to the memory
of Corporal Burgman. 1t is the same
a S is used in all national cemeteries
and is of first quality white marble,
standing about three feet in height
when set and has inscribed upon il
the name of deceased, dates of birth
and death and military organization
in which he served. An emblem de-
noting the religious faith of deceased
is also inscribed upon the stone.
II 10 lHt pans VI Ei'h Wv baN
to secure headstones for all Amer
lean war veterans who are buried in
the cemeteries of this vicinity, prj-
viding, of course, that they may Sc
ure the consent ana cooperation of
relatives of the deceased soldiers.
This includes veterans of all Amer
lean wars. The headstones are fur
nished by the War Department and
may be secured by proper application.
There are in the neighborhood of
eighteen American war veterans bur
led in the vicinity of Cody and many
of the graves are without any mark of
identification. 1t Is the wish Of Fred
Coe Post that anyone in this vicinity
having n relative buried here who was
n service man, and who is DESTROYS of
having one of these h~eadstones placed
Mt his grave, get in touch with the
Legion here that the stones be placed
with the least possible delay.

Slide in Shoshone
CANYON Blocks Road

A slide occurred on the road 10 the
canyon on Monday night of this week
when the red bank at the end of the
canyon fell into the road.
Lloyd Lasher, operator at the cleo
trio power plant in the canyon, re-
ported that he could hear pebbles fall
ling from the side hill as he returned
from work late Mt night. Evidently
he wns the last one over the road be-
fore the slide. as the next car was
forced TO detour on the road on the
north side Of the river.
The slide will not tie up the traffic
rs II will be removed within a few
days. Luckily IL did not occur after
the road thru the canyon was opened
as II would have probobly tied up the
travel for a short while. Resident En-
gineer Hayden Of the state highway
department has sent to Basin for n
steam shovel TO be used in the rcmov
al OF the slide.

MORE THAN $4,000 IN
PURSES FOR STAMPEDE

The Cody Stampede committee has
been busy this week making up the
purses for the main events at the
Biggest and Best of them all on the
first, second and third of July. A
large amount of money will be given
away in purses as follows:
Total for the races, $4,000; buck
ing, with the day money divided, 5000
first, 500 second and SIS third. Bare
back riding will draw SO a ride, ride
to be made with sursingle. The steer
riding will draw S. a ride, to be made
with bull-rigging and bell; bell must
be brought in to collect the money.
Bulldogging money for the best time
on two steers is divided into purses
of $3.50, SIS and s25. A wild COW
milking contest is a new feature that
will give the audience a lot of fun.
The calf roping finals will draw purs-
es of s75. $50 and s25 and should
bring out some of the real old time
talent.
Every indication is that the 1926
Cody Stampede will draw n crowd and
n corps Of entertainers that has never
been reached in the past. Such an
aggregate as the above is sure to in
terest the championship talent and
will put the Cody Stampede in the
Cheyenne and Pendleton class.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
ON LOCAL COURSE

The first tournament of the Cody
Golf Club is to be held on the local
links, commencing Saturday after
noon, May Goth, and continuing over
Sunday and Monday.
There will be a qualifying round OF
nine holes at medal play, after which
the contestants will be divided into
two classes, according to their re-
spective scores. The first half OF the
list, that Is those who have the lower
scores, will compose Class A, while
the others will be in Class B. The
two classes will then play off separ-
ately at match play.
The entrance fee will be n dol
lar and the proceeds will be used to
purchase prizes, which will probably
be golf balls, clubs or other golf
equipment. Entries will be received
by S. b. Freeman up until Saturday
noon. There will be prizes for the
winner and runner up in each class
and a separate prize for the player
making the best medal score.
The contest will be conducted in
formally, the main purpose of the
committee being to create interest and
competition among the members and
at the same time get some reliable
scores among the different players
upon which to base the allotment OF
handicaps for future tournaments
Already about twenty have signi'
fed their intention of entering, so
the success Of the tournament is prae-
tically assured. II is regretted that
there are not enough lady players in
the club TO warrant n ladies' tourn-
amcnt at this time, but the committee
has thought best to limit the entries
in this tournament to the male mem
hers of the club.

Mrs. Halls Legion
Dance is Big Success

Mrs. Edwin Halls annual American
Legion benefit dance, held at the
Codyum last Wednesday evening, was
attended by a large crowd and was n
decided uecess The treasury Of
Fred Coe Post was enlarged in the
amount of about $115. Harrison's
orchestra of Cody furnished the music
and kept the crowd popped up until
a late hour.
Mrs. Hall paid for the music and
other expenses Of the dance and the
use Of the hall was contributed by
DR.. r. c. Trueblood. These dances
have been given annually for the past
seven years by Mrs. Hall and her
generosity is much appreciated by the
Legion men. who otherwise would
have considerable difficulty in secur-
ing funds to meet the running expense
Of the post,
As n bit Of information for the pub
lie il might be well 20 mention a few
Of the purposes TO which this none
Is put. Every two years, alternating
with Powell, the local post puts on an
Armistiee Day celebration, which in
wolves considerable expense. Each
year on Memorial Day the Legion
men turn out and decorate the graves
of American wal veterans. There is
considerable expense attached to this
for buying flowers, making wreaths,
etc. Occasionally an ex-soldier dies
and a military funeral Is conducted
which necessitates some expense.
Recently the post paid the freight on
n headstone for the grave OF the late
Corporal John Burgman. When an
e~x-scrvice man is sick, the post usual
ly sends him flowers.
And so Il may be seen that the
money expended by the local unit Of
the American Legion goes for a
worthy purpose.

W0LFV|LLE TO HOWL
IN NEW LOCATION

The foundation has been laid for
the new WolfvilIe and the work is
going rapidly forward for the finish
ing of the pavilion and concessions
space for the new Wolfville across
the street from the Cody Lumber
company and directly west of the
Cody Museum.
The Stampede association will own
the land which is being used at this
time and the city of Cody has been
prevailed upon to furnish one of the
three lots which have been purchased.
The Wolfville entire will cover a
space of lao by rs feet and the dance
floor will be 10 by rs feet. under a
permanent roof without a pillar on
the floor. This will be large enough
to handle any crowd that will assem-
BILE at the Stampede or any other
dance in Cody.
DR.. Trueblood has generously of
fered to close his dance hall, the
Codyum, during the three days of the
Stampede, which will give Wolfville
full sway during the centre festiv-
tiles.
With such a floor and with the past
reputation of Wolfville for putting on
an old time carnival. the new Wolf
vile will have an initiation that will
be well worth seeing.

Chief PLENTY COOS
TO ATTEND STAMPEDE

John Fowler returned the first of
the week from a trip over the south
ern part of Montana which he made
in the interest of the Cody Stampede.
He reports that he has distributed ad-
vertising up and down the Yellow
stone valley and over the Crow reser-
walton.
While on the reservation he inter
viewed the Crow Indians, and altho
they are planning a celebration of
their own for the Fourth. Chief Plen-
tycoos and second chief Bird Hat
have promised to attend and will
bring twenty families with them,
Chief Plentycoos is probably the
greatest living Indian chief today.
His reputation has always been such
that he is respected and honored thru
out the nation. He was a personal
friend of Theodore Roosevelt and has
made many trips to Washington in
the interest of his tribe. The veneer
able chief is rapidly reaching an age
when he will no longer be able to
take part in celebrations. Recently
he had his eyesight restored by an
operation but still his eyes are fail
ing.
1t is with a great deal of pleasure
that the Stampede committee is able
to secure the Indians this year as
their drawing power is of great ben
eft and especially is Cody fortunate
in view of the fact that Billings and
other places are bidding for the In
dians for their celebrations.
