From Injuries in Auto Wreck Near
Douglas, Wyo. Has Regained
Consciousness.

In a letter to Robert A. Vickers,
senior editor of the Hardin Tri-
bune-Herald under date of Doug
las, Wyo., June 6, Ed Kopac, promi-
nent Hardin dryland wheat farm
er writes the cheering intelligence
that his brother, Emil Kopac, ex-
tensive wheat grower of Oshkosh,
Neb. is progressing favorably to-
ward recovery.
While motoring from his home
to Casper, Wyo., about S p. M,
Saturday, May 29th his car Skid
ded off the slippery oiled highway
in a driving rainstorm about IS
miles out from Douglas, Wyo.,
and lodged against a telegraph
pole, seriously injuring Mr.. Kopac,
whose unconscious form was pick
ed up shortly after by a deputy
sheriff and a highway patrolman
and taken to the hospital at
Douglas. It is thought that MI.
Kopac was blinded by the driving
rain.
The sheriff at Douglas notified
a brother, Anton Kopac at Schuy-
Ter, Neb., by telephone and he in
turn phoned to Frank and Ed
kopac at Omaha, who consulted
their physician, DR.. William Sucha.
there, and he imediately tele-
phoned DR.. Hylton at Douglas,
Wyo., and DR.. Stuckenhof at Cas-
per, Wyo., asking the latter to go
to Douglas and aid DR.. Hylton in
diagnosing the extent of the in
juries. x-ray pictures disclosed
no skull fracture or serious blood
clots, but a serious conclusion of
the brain with some damage to
the brain tissues which, of course
will require time to heal. After a
consultation by phone Of the three
doctors a plan of treatment was
outlined and Emil has slowly i'm
proved since under the skillful
nursing of his cousin, Olga Bar
tunck of Omaha, assisted by the
two Douglas nurses.
For the first three days he was
unconscious and nourishment had
to be administered through his

MUST BE SURE TO GET
Il N CORRECT

supporting information to establish
reasonable doubt. This application
will be checked against the files to
see If an account number has
already been issued.
If the employee has no account
number, the employer must then
file an application for an account
number on behalf of his employee,
stating on the form the reason
for his filing such application.
There's always the possibility OF
mistakes, Mr.. Holcomb pointed
out, if employers merely submit
lists of names to post Offices, Ia
check against the files in the hope
OF immediate finding out what ac-
count numbers had been assigned.
Without sufficient information to
identify the employee in question,
Mr.. Holcomb stated, the wrong
number may be obtained and the
resulting mistakes will prove cost
ly to the entire program.
Mr.. Holcomb also urged all en-
Dloyees who have not yet reported
their social security account num-
bers to their employers to do 50
promptly. This applies also to
employees who have worked for
more than one employer since
January l, 1887, even though the
period of their employment may
have been one day or less.
If this procedure is not follow
ed, Nh. Holcomb said, it is likely
that the social security board will
set up multiple accounts for en-
ployees. Strengthening out these
accounts will require
much time and may cause serious
delay in payment of benefits.
The successful completion of
the initial task of assigning social
security account numbers to eligi-
Bile workers in commerce and in
dustry throughout the country"
said MI. Holcomb, depends upon
the complete cooperation of both
employers and employees. EN-
ployers should, whenever possible,
get in touch with their former
and secure their ac-
count numbers before filing an
plicat1on for new numbers. and
in turn should make
every effort to transmit such in
to them"

H. w. Willcutt Leaves E. L. Dana
Livestock Co. To Head H. w.
> Willcutt & Son.

Harvey w. Willcutt, after 20
years service as manager for the
E. L. Dana Livestock company on
the ranges west of the Big Horn
river, on the first of the present
month resigned to engage in the
livestock business for himself. He
has been joined in the enterprise
by his wife, Mrs. H. w. Willcutt,
and their son, Harvey w. Will
cult, Jr., under the firm name and
style of H. w. Willcutt & Son.
Their headquarters will be at
the Grapevine ranch, just north
of the Big Horn canyon and a few
miles south of Hardin, a ranch In
which Mr.. Willcutt, ST., has been
interested since 1929, the entire
ownership of which is now vested
IN them.
Their stock range will be in the
Crow Indian reservation, on both
sides of the Big Horn river.
Mr.. Willcutt's relations with E.
L. Dana, the pioneer stockman of
shis section of Montana, have
been more like those of father
and son than of employer and em-
ploye all these 20 years, during
which they handled more than a
quarter of a million head of cattle
IN Big Horn county. Some years
they handled as many as 10000
head. During the past year this
firm marketed $4,000 head of fat
beef cattle.
The most pleasant relations
prevailed all these years between
the E. L. Dana Livestock Co. and
those with whom it did business,
and MI. Willcutt is loud in his
praise of the fine treatment al
ways accorded him and his COM
pany by the Crow Indians and
their various officials and the
fair dealings on the part of the
present superintendent of the
Crow reservation, Robert Yellow
tail and his predecessors as well
as by all the other officials and
the individual Indians themselves.
He also spoke in highest terms
OF the cooperation given him
and his company by the local peo-
pie and the business men of Har-
din, Billings, Sheridan and the
other towns of this section, as
well as by the many hundreds of
employees of the E. L. Dana Live
stock Co. throughout this long
period of years.

player will join the Hardin club
soon. He lis an outfielder and a
pitcher. There is a possibility of
Laurence Labbitt~ returning to Har-
din this summer. He would be a
valuable acquisition. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that the Har-
din team will be one of the out
standing teams Of the state by
midsummer.

ball club in action-the last chance
you will have to see a ball game

its opening game Sunday after
noon at the local diamond at the

during the early stages of the
game, but came up from behind in
the seventh to lead 7 to S, but
the visitors tied the score in the
eighth and finally took the game
by a margin of two scores.
Sawicki, Hardin catcher. led the
locals, hitting safely three times,
while Morris, Kerrick, Mayo, Ross
and Buzzetti also connected safely.
Pitchers Lehn and Allen Curry

game and both should prove very
