IRMA CAFE TO OPEN
Is OR 20 OF FEBRUARY
Old Irma Bar Room Being Remod-
eled and Redecorated and Will
Present Pleasing Appearance
Cody's most MoIern Cafe

The old Irma barroom which for
so, many years was an oasis for the
tired and thirsty cowpuncher, for
the dusty traveller who has spent
the day on the clumsy stage coach,
or a place of delightful recreation
to the dude" who was seeing the
west, is no more. Henceforth it
is to be a modern dining room, a
place where frequent banquets may
be served which have been made
famous by the members of the
Cody club, and a quiet retreat
where the motorist on his way to
and from Yellowstone park, may
his feet under a well appoint
ed table and partake of well-cook-
ed dishes to his hearts desire.
Alex Huyias, a dining room man
of many years experience has leas-
ed the dining room from H. T.
Newell, and the transformation of
the former barroom into the at
dining room has been go
ing forward for the last two weeks.
Present plans r the opening of
the new cafe about the fifteenth
or twentieth of this month.
The huge mahogany bar, over
which strong stimulants were once
want to flow. will hereafter be the
coffee and pie counter, and meals
of any character may be obtained
with a promptness that cannot fail
but commend the new management.
Practically all the equipment will
be new. and modern and with the
greater seating capacity which will
be available, b%anquets of almost any
size can be accommodated.

IS TRAIN LOADS OF
HAY SHIPPED FROM
CODY In JANUARY
Approximately Twelve Thousand Net
ted from Hay Shipments Made
Kansas City Markets Last
Month

According to T. F. King, Bur-
lington agent at Cody. in the neigh
borhood of seventy-five "a loads
of hay went out from Cody station
during the month of January to the
Kansas City market, bringing at
least IL thousand dollars into the
community which is closely tribu-
tary to Cody practically all of the
hay being baled and shipped from
Upper and Lower Sage creek. Ship
ments are continuing this month,
but as the price is off a little, the
sale has slackened considerable.
The hay shipped in January brot
in the neighborhood of twenty dol
and market changes. The freight
amounted to nine dollars, leaving
the grower eleven dollars, gross.
out of which he had to pay his
baling and hauling charges. At
this season OF the ear when the
average farmer has plenty of time,
the baling was done on the coop
erative basis, and outside of the
expense of wire and sundry baling
expense, there was little cash out
lay for this work.
Ship Hogs Thursday
Two cars of fat hogs were ship
ped on Thursday by the Carpenter
Commission firm of Billings, billed
for Seattle. The porkers were bot
on Irma Flat and Upper Sage creek
and were a very fine bunch of hogs.
Hog raising is not being practiced
as generally as it could De in this
part of the county, and is one of
the industries which should be de-
veloped to the profit of the rancher.

fore pulling back into the road.
Their attorney claimed that the &C
cident must have been the result
of Sherwin coming up from the
rear, striking the Morrison car on
the rear fender, and then going off
into the ditch.
There was a great deal of evil
dence introduced by the defense as
to the matter of track on the road
and some photographs introduced
of the ground up there, and as a
whole it was a long drawn out
and hard fought case. Under the
law the court instructed the jury
that they must find that the de-
PENDANT vas guilty of gross negli-
gence in turning into the road and
passing the Sherwin car before he
could be convicted, a he vas being
tried on a charge the same as in
voluntary man-slaughter. The jury
returned a verdict of not guilty,
apparently having some doubt as
to there being gross negligence in
the passing of the Sherwin car by
Morrison.
Judge Metz took occasion to COM
ment on the fact that the case had
been extremely well tried by both
the State and the defense, and
apparently no stone had been
left unturned to show the jury

The still house was wrecked as
much as possible, and all the equip
ment which could be packed on the
nine pack horses was brought to
town. Today Sheriff Dahlem, with
his brother, John Dahlem made an
other trip up the river to bring
down the balance of the equipment.
County Attorney McElvain and
Sheriff Dahlem both claim to have
an idea as to whose operations
they have uncovered, but with the
small amount of evidence secured.
1t is unlikely that any warrants
will be issued at this time.
The moonshining equipment is
said to have been of the best quail
ty, clean and well cared for. That
operations were on a large scale
is evidenced by the fact that when
the sheriff made a trip to the still
about two weeks ago 46 sacks of
sugar were stored there. When the
still was raided yesterday. but 80
sacks of sugar remained.

The state, which was represented
by Attorney McElvain and Greever,
presented evidence to show that
Morrison in driving up the North
fork, presumably to the Pat Kelley
ranch. in attempting to pass a car
driven by w. G. Sherwin, in which
Mrs. j. F. Kelley and daughter
Barbara were riding, either inten-
tionally or through gross negligence
cut in front of the Sherwin car,
causing 1t to be bumped into a ditch
at the side Of the road, as a result
of which the little girl was thrown
killed. There was a great deal of
evidence presented by both sides of
the controversy relative to tracks
purported to be made by the two
cars, as viewed Immediately after
the accident by several witnesses,
and the state had a strong case
to support the theory that Morri-

ing the accident.
The defense, represented by E. ].
Goppert of Cody. and Lin Noble of
Thermopolis, based its defense on
evidence that there had been no
gross negligence OIL the part of
Morrison, the driver of the car
which was said to have caused
the accident. Morrison was accom-
panied on his Northfork trip by
Charlie Krause, and both of these
gentlemen testified that they knew
nothing of the Sherwin car going
into the ditch, until several hun
bred yards further on up the road,
when it was discovered the car was
not following. Counsel presented
evidence to show that Morrison and
Krause did everything they could
to assist Sherwin and Mrs. Kelley,
brought the little girl to town, and
at no time had shown by word
or deed that their actions had
been governed by any i'll feeling
or with any intent to injure the
occupants of the other car.
Testimony was presented to show
that a hard wind was blowing,
which made it almost impossible
for Sherwin to have heard the
warning given by Morrison as he
pulled around the Sherwin car, and
that both occupants of the Morri-
son car believed that they had per-

THE POTATO ACREAGE

Notwithstanding the profitable
prices that have been paid for
Aroostook's ,tatoes, notwithstand-
ing these prices are reported to be
increasing. it is said by those enabled
to know something about the situa-
ton that many Of the Aroostook
growers will be unable out of these
profits to cancel their Indebtedness.
To such there will come the urge
to make another. supreme effort this
summer. On tile other hand, con-
sentative counsel has been urging
restriction rather than extension of
the acreage and some willingness
to restrict has been manifested. Such
an attitude, judging from the in
formation received from the Federal
Crop Reportin., Board. is not pre-
vailing throughout the country.
This from the Boards report may
be found of interest:
For the country as whole the
acreage of potatoes now planned Is
as per cent above the acreage grown
in 1925 and 3 per cent below the
acreage grown in 1924. This would
be a reasonably safe and conserva-
tive acreage if 1t were better dis
tributed. In the southern and west
ern States an increase of around Ia
per cent over 1925 is planned or
planted, but in the northeastern and
north central States no increase Is at
present contemplated"
