Haunted House Holds

long lane without a turning? Ant
what's town without a haunted
house?
Midnight haunted house.
young girl slueth on the trail of a
gang OF desperate bond thievesl
Sounds like a thriller of the old
days of the movies, but in reality it
is a scene which furnishes the
smash" climax for Bebe Daniels
newest Paramount starring comedy,
''wild, Wild Susan" due at the
Weaver on Sunday, May SOth.
wild, Wild Susan" is a picturiza-
ton of Eteuart Emery's Liberty mag
azine story, "The Wild, Wild Child. Z"
which concerns pretty New York
society girl, whose bent for adven-
ture leads her to apply for a job as
girl sleutlh. Her first assignment
early in the picture brings her in
contact with shoplifters in one of
the cftys big department stores, then
she is put on the trail of missing
young cion of a prominent family
and to cap the climax dog the steps
of several bond thieves-which trail
leads her to the haunted house at
an hour when all self-respecting deb
utantes should be snoozing or pac-
ing the ballroom floor, according to
the night.
Bebe, as Susan Van Dusen, is a
wild, wild child in every sense of the
word Arrived at midnight, with
creepy shadows all about her and
weird noises reaching her ears, Bebe
trips over something, looks down and |
discovers a tombstone. She's in an |
old, weed-grown cemetery--and then
strange apparitions start popping up
here and there. Bebe almost passes
out of the'picture when Rod La Roc
que, novelist turned taxi driver to /
obtain material for his book, enters
the scene, gives battle TO the ghosts
and rescues our Bebe. But 1t was all
a frame-up as the ensuing scenes go
on to show. But It's real spine
tingling hair raiser while it lasts

ROCK SLIDE In
CANYON FILLS SPILLWAY

A rock slide of an estimated two
thousand yards of granite blocked
the road at the west end of the
big tunnel in the canyon Sunday
and again filled the huge spillway
of Shoshone reservoir. The slide
occurred on a completed part of the
new road beyond the dam, and the
Everingham company has notified
the Federal Bureau of Roads, that
the rock may be cleared away by
the time the balance of the on
struction work Is finished at the
west and of the canyon.
This is the second large slide at
the point beyond the long tunnel.
When the road was enlarged, shoot
ing brought down thousands of
yards of the granite from the cliffs
above. and the contractor found
himself with a big task on his
hands, and a job of rock work
which paid him no profit If he
possibly broke even on the con-
tract.
Mr.. ~Everingham stated that he
would have to clear the road of the
or the Forest Service under whose
supervision and expense the road is
being constructed, would have to
bear the cost of getting the rock
out of the spillway below.
According to Engineer Capes of
the Bureau of Roads, rock slides
on new roads in mountainous sec
TONS. are to he expected for the
first few years after construction,
and slides like this M and the one
at the east end of the Shoshone
canyon last spring are to be expect
ed frequently.

Monday evening, with the reading
of the annual report followed by
election of officers was the order
of business. Out of 800 shares OF
stock, III were represented and
considerable interest was manifesr
in the business of the association,
and especially that the proper men

GREYBULL RANCHERS
DISPUTE OWNERSHIP
OF SADDLE HORSE
Legal Battle Costs Many Times
Value of Animal-Phelps' In
terests Win Action Against
Baldwin

= A case which seems as though 1t
would set a record in the annals of
the Cody justice court was heard
before c. A. Marston on Monday,
this being the second day il court
on the same action. Although the
only property at stake was only a
pony. twenty-five witnesses were
to testify before a jury, and
a legal battle was waged which
would not have been more serious
had the issue been something valu-
at many thousands of dollars.
Frank Thayer, representing the
Pitchfork ranch interests was the
plaintiff in the case, and j. NJ
Baldwin, rancher of the GreybulI
valley, defendant, and the animal
whose ownership was in question
was a horse which Thayer had sold
to the Pitchfork interests some time
ago, and n which Baldwin claim
ed as his property.
The court action was started
several weeks ago when Thayer
replevined the horse, which was
then in the possession of Baldwin.
and a hearing was had two weeks
ago, when both parties demanded
a jury trial and the case was set
for trial on Monday, December 20.
From the evidence brought out
the hearing 1t is very evident
that there r two horses very
alike on the Greybull range.
although one of them is eleven
years old while the other is but
seven years of age. The 90 wit
nesses who testified proved n
very definite ownership of the
horse, and the action was decided
in favor of the Thayer interests.
Baldwin admitted that he did not
see the horse at n time for n
period of three years, and it is
very possible that he was mistaken
in his belief that the animal was
his.
