A Killing that Might
Have Been Prevented

Down in Campbell county the 9TH
err day, a couple of boys from n of
the larger outfits rode into Gillette
to make purchases and return to their
home. In some manner, not brought
out, these boys were allowed to secure
whiskey in that city, and when they
mounted for the ride home, felt their
oats in a manner that led them to
some playful pranks in an endeavor
to give the people passing by auto
the impression that they were bad
western men.
Someone reported to the sherifr's
office that two suspicious locking
men we're out on the highway, doing
stunts and intimidating travellers, in
that they rode their horses in front
of cars, apparently trying to stop
them for a hold-up." They also had
guns, which it is possible the liquor
supplied, as the boys would have re-
manned peaceful citizens, as they al
ways were, otherwise.
After it was over a coroner's Jury
freed the deputy sheriff, who had shot
the boy thru the heart. when he
spurred his horse and rode away. The
sheriff, who was riding with the de-
putty sheriff and overlook the boys,
testified that he cautioned his deputy
to shoot low and not try to HIT
making it an accidental shot that hit
the boy.
If the sheriff had been as careful
in preventing the sale of LIQUOR in his
home town as he was in protecting
the tourists of the road from playful
FRANKS, Emerson Garrett, 10 years
old, might have been alive today.
Upon complaint sworn by CARROTS
father, Deputy Sheriff Booth was ar
rested after the coroner's jury had
turned him free.-Sheridan Journal.

ANTICIPATES BIG YEAR
FOR Big HORN BASIN

In a short talk at a meeting of the
Basin Lions club last Tuesday, Oliver
Irwin, manager of the Big Horn CO.
operative Marketing association,
asked to give estimate as to the
amount of business that would be
handled by the association the COM
ing year as compared with last year,
gave it as his opinion that instead of
fifteen carloads of turkeys shipped
last year, the association would this
year ship something like twenty-five,
and that as compared with the fifty
carloads of beans shipped last year,
the association would this year ship
more than a hundred.
Mr.. Irwin added that with three or
four more crops proved and going
along with the success that has at
tended the associations activities in
these two crops, the question of pros
perity would be behind us.
The outlook mentioned by Mr.. Ir-
win is most encouraging. Even il
there were nothing to be added to it
it would be most helpful to know that
we would be able to close thu year
with the record hoped for by Mr.. Ir-
win, but progressive people are not
content to move along a few lines if
by moving along others it is possible
to progress o speedily.
The beet crop of the coming year
gives promise of being one of the
most satisfactory we have had for
years because of the price of $3.50
per ton as compared fifth $3.50 last
year. Then there is the increased
acreage which was bound to result
with the announcement of the in
creased price. The third Big source
of income is bound to give US a SPLEEN
did boost along the road to better
times.
Over in the Powell country they
are still making potatoes one of their
leading crops. With the shortage of
potatoes in the east and middle west
last fall and the resulting high price
many Powell farmers made enough
off their land last fall to pay for it.
1t seems to US that it might be pos
sible to work along other lines that
could be just as successfully handled
as beans and turkeys.
Over at Cowley they are getting
ready to grow products for the first
big canning factory in the Big Horn
basin. That factory will very likely
prove a success for the men back OF
it have had long experience and they
have made a thorough investigation

ADVERTISING SCHEMES

There are merchants in Cody as well as other towns who will
jump at most any advertising scheme some stranger brangs around
1t has been our observation that where a merchant refuses for any
reason to advertise consistently in his local paper there is very little
good to be accomplished through the pet schemes of professional
travelling advertising specialists. There are merchants of Cody who
seldom put an advertisement in the newspaper, but who buy such
space N many would-be advertising schemes. Now. If you want to
invest some money in advertising. let us suggest that you advertise
in the local newspaper. where it will do the most good.
