KENTUCKY BOYS MAKE
GETAWAY WITH CODY
CAR THROUGH PARK
Leave Trail of Pennies and Oil
Company acquisitions as they
Motor Through Wyoming
and Idaho

That an automobile could be
stolen in Cody and taken through
Yellowstone park by a group of
three boys, and they not be appre-
hended, does not seem possible to
/the average layman, but such a
thing occurred last week, and as yet
the young men who took the Buick
a belonging to J. w. Walker of
the Rocky Mountain Gas company
have o been apprehended.
The three young men, who have
been identified by the sheriff's office
as a group of three boys who es-
capped recently from the state re-
formatory of Kentucky, arrived in
Cody in a Nash sedan which has
been found to belong to a doctor
of their native state. While in
Cody the young men were short of
funds and attempted to pilfer the
slot machine hanging in front of
the Yellowstone garage. This stunt
got them in bad with the night man
at that place. Tom Bateman, and he
took their car away from them, tell
ing them If he did not find it to
NO IL oloiCh hldCllluc tuty COulu It
owe same in the morning.
Later the same night the boys
took the Buick belonging to Walker
and started for Yellowstone park,
the park records showing that they
/, entered the park via the eastern en-
vance and paid their entrance fee
in pennies.
On the following morning Walker
missed his car, but it was not de-
termined until about noon that it
had been actually stolen, he think
ing that possibly some of the other
employees of the gas company were
using it. About this time the sher-
if learned that Bateman had a
Nash a at the Yellowstone garage
and a little t~elegraphing brought
back the information that the car
had been stolen from it's rightful
owner.
In the meantime the Kentucky
boys were motoring in Yellowstone,
exiting via Jackson Hole. where at
the town of Jackson. Wyoming, they
used a requisition blank of the
Ohio Oil company, signing Walkers
name, to secure gas and oil. This
requisition in due time was present
ed at the Billings office for pay
(ment, as has been a second one
which the young men issued at an
Idaho town.

the institute will start promptly at
200 o'clock. Cake, French pastry
and deserts will come in for a part
of the institutes time. Women in
attendance will be given an oppor-
tunity to taste everything tina is
made during he demonstration. Re
cipes for all will be available and
questions and suggestions will be
encouraged No charges will be
made whatever for any phase of
service rendered at the institute.
A dining tabe will be arranged
on the stage. Many women, states
Miss Boyer, have less difficulty in
preparing a good meal than in
serving it in an attractive manner
after it is prepared. The table is
to be furnished by the Vogel fur
niture store, as will the kitchen
cabinet which will make up the
kitchen and dining room group.
The Brundage Hardware will make
available the use of one of its gas
ranges and the Cody Trading com
pany completes the modern kitchen
with a Kelvinator, which is the
last word in modern refrigeration.
The Cody Trading company will al
so furnish the dishes and silver
which is to be used at the institute.

This is the first meeting of its

Methodists to Observe Anniversary
Building Church - Burn MORTGAGE

The first Sunday in October (next
Sunday will mark the tenth an
niversary of the dedication Of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Cody.
Those who were in Cody on the
first Sunday in October, 1916, will
recall the dedication services which
were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
F. NJ. Stephenson, with Rev. DR.. T.
c. Tiff of Denver. preaching the
"Dedicatory Sermon" That was a
great day for Cody and the King
dom of God.
Since we have move on a decade
from that date and in the meantime
this beautiful church structure has
been cleared of every dollar of
building debt, we think 1t in order
that W. set aside Sunday, October
3rd, 1926, as a special day on which
to celebrate the tenth anniversary
OF dedication. AS a speaker for
this service to deliver the sermon
at eleven o'clock, Rev. DR.. James
G. Drawn of Sheridan has been
chosen. Special appropriate music
is arranged and the note signers
will be present to burn the original
note against the church structure.
Altho the Cody Methodist church
was built a decade ago, 1t stands
today among the most up-to-date

JUDGE METZ CLEARS
PARK COUNTY DOCKET

Judge P. w. Metz left Cody
Monday after spending several days
in this community, during which
time he heard several civil and pro-
bate matters, which almost COM
pletely clears up the Park county
docket of the Fifth Judicial dis
trict. There r at the present time
but eighteen civil cases, all of which
for some reason or other could not
be heard by Judge Metz at this
time. and eight or ten civil cases
which require a jurys trial.
The judge has been attending to
court business in Cody since last
Thursday, during which time Judge
v. ]. Tidball of the Second Judicial
district was here and heard an oil
case in which a different judge had
been asked for.

churches in the state. This gives
evidence of the far-sightedness of
the leaders of this community. To
day Cody is enjoying with pride a
building that cost $15,5OO in 1916,
and which to duplicate today would
cost $4,000.
While the Cody Methodists and
friends have been busy with this
building program thru the ten
years, they have carried the full
program of the church and have
grown gradually, but certainly. I'M
til today the Cody Methodist church
is looked upon as one of the
strongest and most desirable ap-
pointments in the Wyoming state
conference.
The general condition of this
church organization is better than
at any period in its history. If our
friend Coue were here he would
say of it: Every day in every way,
you are getting better and better"
Such progress comes only as a re-
suit Of the dedication of lives and
means to the service of our Creator.
Everyone looks with pride upon his
part in this institution which stands
for character building" Cody's
churches have a vital place in the
towns program.

KOZY KORNER CLOSES
MRS. HUGHES TO ALASKA

After having been in existence
something like eight years, the
Kozy Korner, a soft drink foun-
tain. confectionery and tobacco en-
porium closed it's doors last week,
and Mrs. Clara Hughes, who has
been the owner and operator of
the establishments for some time,
has gone to Alaska, where she will
visit for some time with a daughter
residing here.
The Kozy Korner was originally
established by Messrs. Ernest J.
Goppert and Fred Pearson, the
later selling his interests to his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Hughes. A
couple of years ago Mrs. Hughes
acquired the Goppert interests of
the firm and since that time has
operated the business herself. The
business has never been very pro-
fitable and Mrs. Highest was finally
prompted to close out.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL
FIRST GAME OF SEASON

The first battle on the Cody High
School gridiron will take place on
Friday afternoon when the boys of
the local team will carry the pig
skin against the team from the
Greybull town. The home team is
all set to win, and are to have for
midable opponents from the Basins
oil center.
Coach Sweitzer has one of the
strongest aggregations of football
warriors ever developed in Cody
High and the spirit of the game is
fine this year. With thirty lads
out to practice almost every eve
ming, at least twenty-three of whom
are capable and eligible for posi-
tons on the team, it looks as tho
Cody High would make the other
teams of the Basin look after their
laurels this season.

reclamation project at Powell and
Garland will cast their votes on
Saturday for or against the ratifica-
ton of the contract by them and
the United States Reclamation SER

whether or not they will accept the

in the contract which has been in
the making for several months, and
whether they wish to take over and

Under the latest contract liberal

SAN DIEGO PEOPLE
PLEASED WITH CODY
Springs@Say They have been
Treated Fine

81 wonder If Cody appreciates the
great asset it has in the DeMaris
Needle Bath Springs" said Mrs.
Esther Mugan Bush, prominent writ
er and composer of San Diego, Cal
ifornia, while visiting in the Cody
community last week. "If we had
the springs in California we would
make capital of them. There would
not be a tourist passing within a
radius of a hundred miles but would
know of them and would want to
visit them. They are really won
derful and capable of tremendous
development. They are the one
particular feature which have tempt
ed my husband and myself to re-
main longer in Cody than we 9TH
Terwise would have done.
Someone made a remark to my
husband about the tourists being
held up in this part of the coun-
try. He Immediately took issue with
the party, saying that on our en-
tire trip from San Diego to and
thru Yellowstone park and tribu-
tary surroundings, we had not once
been overcharged; that in fact the
reverse had been noticeably appar-
ent. The tourist who feels that
he is being 'stung' does moi take
into consideration the vast distances
that material must be hauled, the
obstacles encountered, the shortness
of the tourist season, etc"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bush have spent
several weeks in the Cody commun-
ity. The former is president of the
Bush theatres of San Diego, and
Mrs. Bush does considerable liter
airy work. She is a member of the
League of American Penwomen and
also of the San Diego Press club.
Both very fine people and certainly
boosters for the Cody country.

THREE KILLED In
AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR
TOWN OF GARLAND
Tragedy Fakes Three Lives We'd
nesday Evening Last Week
Cody Woman and Two
Lowell Men Dead

Three persons were killed on We'd
nesday evening of last week when

and jumped the em~bankment, over
turning in the irrigation ditch, pin
ming the occupants underneath.
h victims were Mrs. Bert Co.'s
well of Cody and Messrs Ira Wa
tiers and Frank Dewein of Lowell.
The men had been to Cody on that
day and Mrs. Cogswell was accom-
panying them to Lowell. The party
had taken dinner in Powell about
eight-thirty that evening, and the
accident is thought to have
shortly afterward as they were en-
route to Lowell. Jas. Tibbs and
Dode Ketchum, two men from Low
ell, came by the scene of the ac-
cident about ~nine-thirty. and see
ing the light of the car in the ditch
made an investigation, but were
unable to extricate the bodies from
under the cal until more help had
been secured.
Mrs. Cogswell received an injury
to her skull which probably caused
her death. Mr.. Dewein suffered a
broken neck and it is very likely
that the driver, Mr.. Waters, . waa
drowned, as the car was com pleteIy
overturned and all were pinned
down in about thirty inches OF
water.
Mrs. Cogswell was the wife oe
Bert Cogswell OF Cody and mas
made her hone here for many
years. She was inc mother q three
children, two sons and one daugh-
ter, two OF whom are strients in

tiers was n of the early settlers
of the Basin country and a prom
inent business man of Lowell. Az
the time of his death he was the

employee of the Great Western Sugar
company at Lowell since the CON
struction of the factory there and
held n very responsible position
with h firm. He has no relatives
in the state, but had a sister re-
siding at Burlington, Iowa. MT.
Waters lost his wife in an auto
mobile accident in Washington n
year ago, and s survived by a fam
lily of five children, all grown x
cept a daughter of twelve, who re-
sides with her sister in Washing
