Of course, if another enters upon the placer location with the consent of the owner, or by his acquiesence or by his in- du1fmcnt, and discovers a lode, his right to locate and claim the same becomes abso- t. .c, but without such conduct on the part of the owner, he cannot do so.
 In order to throw as much light as possible upon this point, we quote here from the opinion of the Supreme Court If the United States, rendered n a case in which the point Inder consideration was in is-
 ue:
 Tt is contended that because a vein or lode may have it's apex within the limits of placer claim a stranger has a right to go upon the claim, and, by sinking shafts or oth- erwise, explore for any such lode or vein, and on finding one obtain title thereto. That, with the consent of the owner of the placer claim. he may enter and make such explorat- ion, and, if successful, obtain title to the vein or lode, can not be questioned, But can he do so against the will of the placer locator? If he may do 1t, others may, and so the whole surface of the of the placer be occupied by stran- gers seeking to discover veins
 eneath the surface. Of what value then would the placer be to the locator? Placer workings are surface work ings, and if the placer locator cannot maintain possession of the surface he cannot continue his workings. And if the sur face is open to the entry of whoever seeks to explore for veins, his possession can be ntirely destroyed.
 "We agree with the Supreme Court of Colorado as to the law when it says that one may not go upon a prior valid plac- CT location to prospect un- known lodes, and get title to lode claims thereafter discov- cred and located in this man. ner and within the placer boundaries, unless the placer owner has abandoned his claim, valves, the trespass, or, by his conduct, is estopped to complain of it. Perhaps if thu placer owner, with knowledge 1 of what the prospectors arc doing, takes no steps to re- strain their work, and certain ly if he acquiesces in their action, he cannot, after theg have discovered a vein or lode assert right to it, for, general ly, a vein belongs to him whe has discovered it, and a loeat, or permitting others to search within the limits of his placer ought not thereafter to appFo- priate that which they have discovered by such search.
 If placer locator is, as we have shown, entitled to the ex- elusive possession of the sur- face, an entry there against his will, for the purpose of prospecting by sinking shafts or otherwise, is undoubtedly a trespass, and such a trespass cannot be relied upon to sus-

DAVE JONES INSTALLING
CLEANING AND PRESSING
DEPARTMENT TO STORE

Workmen r busy this week
installing fixtures for Cody's sec
ond cleaning and pressing business.
The new departure is t. be added
to the Dave Jones ha~berdashery,
and when completed will be one of
the most modern and up-to-date
in the Basin. The business fits in
very conveniently with a gents
furnishing store, where there is
considerable work of this nature
which has heretofore been sent out.
Mr.. Jones proposes the construc-
ton of a cleaning room in the
rear of the store, and the tailoring,
pressing and. repair department will
be located at the real of the store,
and a capable and efficient man
placed in charge of the business.

JUDGE METZ PRESENTS
FLAG TO COURT HOUSE

Each court room of the Big
Horn basin in the Fifth Judicial
district is to have a beautiful flag.
due to the thoughtfulness and
generosity of Judge Percy w. Metz.
The order was placed last week,
and it is hoped that before another
term of court is held here the flag
will have arrived. Certainly the
flag is most appropriate in the
court rooms, where the laws of
the nation are enforced and justice
given to all.
Judge Metz states hat he believes
that every court room should have
an American flag to render dignity,
as well as solemnity to the court
proceedings, and particularly dur
ing naturalization work, which takes
place twice each year in the various
counties. The flags which have
been ordered are of exceptionally
fine quality, silk. with hand en-
broidered stars jointed pole adorned
by bronze eagle.
The flags will be placed in a
standard and, unfurled, at the side
of the bench in each of the court
rooms of the Basin.

JACK EVANS OPENS
new JEWELRY STORE

They came, they saw, they were
pleased. Such was the case on Sat
urday when Jack Evans opened his
new Jewelry store, located in the
Cody theatre building. Hundreds of
local people thronged his place of
during the day. marveling
at the complete and beautiful line
of jewelry, silverware. china, cut
glass and novelties which MI. Evans
has on display. Each visitor was
presented with a present, the ladies
with a silver spoon and cigars for
the men.
The Evans Jewelry store is easily
one of the show places of Cody.
1t is artistic in every respect, and
the stock the most carefully Sc
lected and beautiful to be found
in a town as small as
Cody.

CODY TO HAVE
BASEBALL TEAM

The baseball fans of Cody met in
the Lions club room under the
First National bank Monday even
ing and decided that Cody would
have a ball team the coming season.
After a long discussion it was de-
cided that each player furnish his
own glove and shoes and that they
would start on their own resources.
G.. E. Hanson was unanimously
elected to manage the team and
Paul F. Sweitzer was accorded the
honor to captain the team for the
coming season. Under the super
vision of these capable men Cody
should show considerable improve
ment over last year and should have
the whole-hearted support of every
business man and citizen of Cody.
Seventeen players have signed up
to be present at every practice and
a great deal of enthusiasm is being
shown. Cody has some new mater
ial this year, and promises to have
a stronger battery than they have
had before. Practice is to start in
next week. The date will be
announced later. Everyone who has
played baseball or can throw a ball
is urged to be there. Let's get out
and help Cody get a real team for
the coming season.

SCHOOL GIRLS
TO MAKE DRESSES

The advanced class in Home Ec-
onomics at the High School has
started a dressmaking project which
will continue until school closes.
The class is made up of Sophomore,
Junior and Senior girls who are
taking their second year of Home
Economics work.
The girls are taking orders for
plain sewing for ladies and chill
drens clothing. The person giving
the order must furnish the material
and the girls will make the gar
ments for a very reasonable charge.
This is a new venture in this de-
partment and the girls hope to re-
ceive enough orders to make the
project a success. The student max
ing the garment is to get half of
the money and the other half will
go to the department to buy some
thing needed. The Instructor, Miss
Ida Ward, will be glad to talk to
anyone wishing to place an order
with the class.

GOPPERT-LOCKHART CASE
STARTED AT WORLAND
Promises to be Long Drawn Affair
Many Cody Witnesses Called
by Both Sides

The damage suit in which Ernest
J. Goppert. local attorney. is suing
Caroline Lockhart for libel and
Court at Worland on Monday morn
ing. Judge C. J. Tidball of Laramie
is hearing the case which from all
indications promises to be a real
legal battle. Mr.. Goppert is rep
resented by C. E. Harkins of Wor-
land, and Tom McKinjie of Basin.
Miss Lockhart has retained Attorney
E. E. Enterline of Casper, who is
assisted by Chas. Bronze of Basin
and Lin Noble and Milward Simp-
son of Thermopolis.
The case is one in which Mr..
Goppert is suing Miss Lockhart and
the Cody Enterprise for libel and
damages, claimed as a result of
a news story published by the Cody
Enterprise, il its issue of June
27th, 1923, in which it is charged
with having m~aliciously e~ndeavored
to throw the blame for a killing
which took place, when deputy
sheriffs killed a man engaged in
transporting liquor, on to Mr.. Cop
pert, who was then county attorney.
Mr.. Goppert disclaims any respon-
sibility for the actions of h deputy
sheriffs, and is charging that hav-
ing given the local newspaper wo-
man ample opportunity to correct
the newspaper, h act was com
mitted maliciously, and with intent
to do him injury.
Both sides nav an array OF wit
nesses from Cody and other places
in the Basin, and it is thought that
the case will consume much of the
week. Mr.. Goppert has s~ubpoened
as witnesses J.. H. Vogel, coroner
at the time the libel is claimed,
C. A. Marston, justice of the peace
of Cody, Walter Kepford, H. F.
Bell and E. f. Shaw, all of Cody,
L.. E. Peterson, DR.. F. A. Mills,
Grant Caldwell and McGonigle of
Garland. McGonigle vas one OF the
deputies who participated in the
shooting which resulted in the death
of w. G. Sherrin, a Greybull man.
Miss Lockhart's attorneys have
certified the following witnesses,
many of whom have already 6one
to Worland: George Baker, G. A.
C. Snow, A. E. Casper, r. 1. Voick-
mer. P. C. Kettleson, Meyer Ranki
DR.. Kinney, Jas. Milstead, w. ii.
LOOMS, Bill Paddock, C.. E. ROD

Jury this afternoon.

Through the efforts of several of
the users of the Cody-Depot road,
principally Kane and Hooker, who
operate the bus line to the station,
considerable work has been done
on this road. The grader was
used and the road given a recon
ditioning for the summer traffic.
Too much credit cannot be given
these men who use, and take are
of this road. Although it is proba-
bly, to their interest more than
others. that it be in good condition.
however there is a great deal of
other traffic to the depot which
profits by the fitness of the thoro-
fare.

OPERATIONS
RESUMED BY OHIO co.
in OREGON BASIN

Drilling operations were resumed
by the Ohio Oil company in Oregon
basin oil field last week, and two
shifts are working with a Standard
rig on the gas well drilled last
summer by the Stock rotary. 1t
is the hope of the Ohio 10 case
off the water flow in this well and
commercialize the gas, or to drill
through the gas and give the lower
sands a thorough proving.
The Ohio Oil company has spent
several hundred thousand dollars
in Oregon Basin and have not as
yet had their faith shaken in this
oil field. Gas has been encountered
many times by both the Ohio com
pany and by the Enalpac company
which brought a gas well in about
twelve years ago. and the best geo.
logists believe that there is oil in
paying qantities at the lower levels.
1t is stated that the Ohio is
planning to bring in another rotary
rig this spring, and drill a second
well.

CODY CORBETT ROAD
WORK TO START SOON

Chas. Taggart, the successful bid
der for the Cody-Corbett road pro-
ject states that work will begin
soon. His teams and outfit, which
were wintered near Pinedale, Wyo-
ming, are now on the way to their
new camp here. and Mr.. Taggart
plans to bring his steam shovel
down the river next week. Owing
to the weight of the mammoth ma
chine, 1t will be necessary that the
Reclamation service stop the flow
of the S%hoshone river at the dam,
for an hour. to give Mr.. Taggart
an opportunity to ford the liver
bed. Although the bridge would
probably bear the weight of the
huge steam shovel, Mr.. Taggart
is loath to take chances on using
it for a mea of crossing with his
shovel.

moonshine alone. Felix Saldana was
paroled by the court, and admon-
ished to see hat the balance of
a fine which was assessed against
him some time ago paid. Mr.. Sal
dana has a beet acreage near Pow
ell, and it was the fact that it was
essential hat he start spring oper-
alton at once that Judge Metz sus-
pended the fifteen days he still

ceny pleaded not-guilty to the
charges, as did Mrs. Ralph Hurl-

NEW DANCE HALL
TO OPEN MAY nth

DR.. R. C. Trueblood announces
the opening dance at the new dance
hall under the Cody Drug company
for Tuesday evening, May 18th.
The carpenter work is about COM
pleted, and the floor is now being
laid, which within a week or ten
days will be ready for use.
In the new dance hall, Cody will
have a floor which will accommo-
date several hundred dancers with
s and a floor which will be
comparable to the best in the state.
With the lowering of the floor two
feet, a high ceiling has been pro-
vided, which insures good ventila-
ton both in winter and summer.
Harrisons' orchestra will furnish
music for the dances. which will
probably be given regularly each
week, and the management hopes
to make them very popular affairs.
