Fifty high school seniors in 1927
each to the University Of Minnesota,
the board of regents decided at It's
meeting Wednesday, July 2Sth, in vot

The plan finally agreed on by the
regents provides that the SO schola :
ships will be offered on a basis Of
high school scholarship, general inter
est, score on freshman test and ex-
animation in one subject to be chosen
by the student. The student will re
ceive one-third reduction in tuition
each quarter. To hold a scholarship, a
student must participate in one ac.
tivity other than scholarship activi-
ties. The plan will go into effect in
1927, when complete details have been
worked out.
At first it was proposed that. so
scholarships be granted in the state
at large and five in each of the 20
congressional districts to students Sc
lected by the High School Principals
Association. 1t was finally decided
that arrangement was too complicat-

DIES SUDDENLY

The old saying that troubles never
come singly proved true to the Alter
matt family the past week. Frank
Aftermath was ill for many years and
passed away at the home of his son.
John at Wanda Friday. During his
last illness his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
Honl of Morgan assisted in caring
for him. Sunday morning, the day
of Mr.. Altermatt's funeral Mrs. Honl
arose at about four o'clock with the
intention of helping the family of her
nephew with the usual household du-
ties and to prepare for the services.
She apparently was as we'll as usual.
Mrs. Honl was Christian scientist
and it was her habit to spend short
time each morning after rising in
reading. The morning of her death
she went to the porch of the Alter
matt home and was reading when her
niece, Mrs. Kuehn, went out AMI
spoke to her. She seemed to choke
slightly and asked Mrs. Kuehn to read
to her. Mrs. Kuehn noticed that Mr..
Honl did not look we'll and summoned
physician. A few minutes later she
passed away before the arrival of the
doctor. Upon his arrival he pro-
nounced her death due to hear.
trouble.
Mrs. Honl was born in Wisconsin
seventy years ago on June goth. She
came to Leavenworth with her par
ents when little child where she re-
sided until she was united in marriage
to Adolph Honl about thirty-eight
years ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Honl lived
on a farm near Morgan and in the
village of Morgan practically all their
married life. Mr.. Honl passed away
about a year and half ago.
Mrs. Honl is survived by three step
children, namely: Joseph Honl of
Morgan; Mrs. George Dayton ard
William Honl of Franklin; and four
brothers, Gust. Aftermath of Alberta,
Canada; Robert of Leavenworth town
ship Herman of Orlando, Fla; and
Emil of Comfrey. She was the only
daughter in family of twelve.
The funeral was held at the Pres
byterian church at Morgan yesterday

W0RLAND WINS HOOP
H0N0RS In BASIN

The basket ball team of Worland
won first place in the basketball
tourney held at Greybull last week,
with Greybull second, and Cody
third. Thermopolis and Basin
withdrew from the conference, leav-
ing Powell in fourth place.
The tournament started on
Thursday evening, at which time
the Cody quint drew as opponents
the team from G%reybull. Getting
away with a seven point lead, the
local team were overhauled and
beaten. Greybull also defeated
Powell while the team of Worland
defeated the teams of Thermopolis
and Basin. With the withdrawal
of Thermopolis and Basin, Worland
and Greybull matched on Friday
evening for the finals, while Cody
and Powell fought for third and
fourth place.
The tournament was an unusually
successful one, and will do much
in deciding which teams of Basin
are eligible for the state tourney
at Laramie. 1t is unlikely that any
of the schools other than Worland
and Greybull will be represented
at the state high school meet this
year.
Those participating in the tourn-
lament games included Cogswell, Ed

Miraculously Escapes Death
in Accident at Denver

Carl L. Bloom fell from the
fourth floor of the superstructive
of Denver's new athletic building
one day last week, and was able
to walk home, with no apparent
serious injury. In the five story

states that he feels none the worse
for the ordeal except a sore side
where he landed on the beam.

nephew of Scott Lyall of Powell.
He resided in the Cody community
for many years and has a wide
acquaintance here. For the past

GEORGE MEADOWS DIES
BURIED HERE SATURDAY

George Meadows. a man of about
SIS years of age, who has followed
the vocation of sheepherder and
trapper, passed away at the Kinney
hospital after an effort had been
made for several days to revive him
from a low condition brought on
by exposure and other causes.
Deceased was discovered about
a week before his death in the
Oscar Thompson cabin hear the Two
Dot ranch, near to death from ex-
posture and in an apparently mental
lly deranged condition. Indications
were hat he may nave drank a
quantity of sheep dip, inasmuch as
a container of this fluid was in the
cabin, and the mans mouth showed
evidence of having drank some
brown liquid. The cabin had been
torn up and things thrown into dis
order, while Meadows was almost
totally undressed.
Attorney McElvain is making an
investigation to locate any relatives
of the deceased. Rumor has it
that he came here from Ekalaka,
Idaho, and has considerable pro-
perty there.
Deceased had been employed Of
ten during his residence here by
the Thompson brothers, and the
funeral arrangements were made by
them.

The valley resident out the coast for few days

preston that he is of superman by living down

adopts the idea that the valley must be terrible place.
He tells the story another coaster, being sure to
exaggerate little and each time the is repeated,
the thermometer goes up few degrees.
So it is that hundreds of persons residing in other
parts of California really believe Imperial Valley to be
sort of Gehenna not only in the summer, but all
through the year.
No one is foolish enough to try create the i'm
preston that Imperial Valley is cool in the summer.
It's hot, mighty hot, but it is hot anywhere in the
north temperate during July and August.
