Festival Enjoyed.

The harvest festival last Sunday
was an enjoyable affair from start
to finish and favored with excellent
picnic weather. The committee in
charge of the dinner was "swamped"
with last minute dinner guests which
resulted in depletion of the meat
course. Rev. M. Mikkelsen and Supt.
Kenneth E. Anderson were the speak
ers of the day in the village park.
The balance of the afternoon was
spent in social visiting, refreshments,
sports, etc.

There was another rustlers'
hideout on the Snake River south
Of Yellowstone Park. 1t was
mountainous pocket blocked on
the west by the towering Teton
peaks. There was only one way
to get into the place, a narrow,
winding trail along a stream.
A fellow called Teton Jackson
built a ranch in there. 1t soon
became a retreat for all the
rustlers in that part of Wyoming.
1t was known then as it is today
as Jackson's Hole, but the bad
men are gone.
They had things their own way
there for long time. One man
on the trail could guard the en-
trance. When the showdown
came Joe LeFors and several
of his deputies slipped into the
Hole one night and surprised the
rustlers.
They cleaned out that nest
and chalked up another victory
for law and order.
THOSE old Indian scouts like
Smolski were great boys. II
the army officers had paid a
little more attention TO what they
said a lot OF white scalps could
have been saved. General Custer

Besides Fred Smolski l knew |
Tom Newcomb, California Joe,
and, of course, Buffalo Bill, |
Colonel William F. Cody. Every
body knew Buffalo Bill, but most |
Of the scouting l ever saw him
do was over poker table with a
bunch of army officers.
These young fellows would
come out, fresh from West Point
and green as slough grass about
the West. Cody had been a buff
falo hunter and he knew which
way the wind was blowing all
right.
He was a picturesque duffer
with his long hair and deerskin
jacket. The young officers leaned
on him to wise them up about the
country and Buffalo Bill liked
the job.
Whenever there was a message
to be delivered or a Job of scout

job over to SmolslIi or one OF the
other scouts. He didn't do much

for you. If you believed all he
told you he'd killed half the In
dams west of the Missouri River.
When the gold rush fever
burned out California Joe turned
east and wound up as a scout in
the Indian wars. Custer took a
fancy to him the first time they
met. They had the same ideas
about Indian fighting, so Custer
made California Joe chief OF
scouts for the campaign.
But he only held that title one
day. Joe could put more tangle-
foot between his boot-straps and
his chin than any fellow / ever
saw. Being made chief of scouts
called for a celebration. He got
riproaring drunk and kept the
camp awake all night, blowing
about his high rank.
Custer wouldn't stand for that.
He called Joe in the next morn
ing. When their talk was over
Joe had to find something new to
celebrate. He was just an or
binary scout again.
Later he was with Smolski and
Newcomb, scouting for General
Crook at Fort Robinson. Ne

sounded they were supposed to be
In bed.
That didn't suit Joe. He built a
dugout at the edge Of camp. The
scouts used TO crawl in there
after taps and play poker by can
delight.
One night he and Newcomb got
in a row over the game. I reckon
Newcomb just got tired OF Joe's
big talk. Anyway he shut him up
permanently with a six-shooter
bullet.
That's the way it went. You
lived hard and died easy. Most of
the law was stuck in a mans
belt. A lot of mighty good men
died. and women, too, before we

fight that crippled him was one

in him.
He was arresting a badman.
That usually meant lead was fly

was pulling his pistol. The first
shot caught him in the right arm
and knocked the siX-shooter out
of his hand.
The second bullet hit him in
the hip. AS he went down he
picked up his pistol with his left
hand and fired one shot. That
was enough. II killed the out
law.
One of the old-time brand in
spectors who wrote a lot of his
tory with his six-shooter was Joe
LeFors. He was one Of four
brothers, all ex-cowboys from
Texas like myself. All of them
were crack shots.
Sam LeFors was one Of the
fellows killed and scalped by the
Northern Cheyennes south of
Dodge the same Spring they
jumped the outfit / was riding

brother, Newt. a deputy u. S.
Marshal, was killed by renegades

enough badmen in his time to
make up for the killing of his two
brothers.
He and Whispering Smith
chased Kid Curry and his band
of outlaws all over the West and
lived to see most Of them turned
into buzzard bait. Kid Curry
was the leader Of a bunch known
as the Hole in the Wall" gang.
They got that name from their
hideout up in the Wind River
Mountains in western Wyoming.
Train robbing was their spe-
cialty and they worked it all the
way from Texas to Montana. But
with men like Smith, LeFors,
Charlie Siringo and Doc Shores
hot on their trail they finally
tracked the outlaws down.
Kid Curry. one OF the last to
be trapped, was wounded in a
fight in Colorado. Just as the

put his six-shooter TO his head
and pulled the trigger.

1t said total hog slaughter in the

number slaughtered in plants under
Federal meat inspection, it said,

largest number previously slaugh-
tered in such plants was 53,70O. 900

were forecast also, but a slightly
smaller lamb crop was predicted.

be at least as great as the 1881
1910 average and materially larger
than that of the short supply years
of 1884 and 1886, when small corn
crops contributed to a reduction in
meat production.
Short supplies at the present time
were said to reflect an abnormally
large demand, particularly for
lease-lend and military needs. at
the season OF the year when mar
ketings are normally small.
Sales of hogs are expected to in
crease considerably in a month or
six weeks, as the early spring pig
crop begins to reach fattened con-
ditions. Meanwhile the Govern
ment plans to reduce lease-lend
buying SO as to allow larger sup
plies for domestic consumers.
The department based its fore
cast Of record hog slaughtering on a
survey showing that the 1912 spring
pig crop was the largest on record
and Is per cent greater than that
of year ago.
Scattered reports indicate, it said.
that the 1942 lamb crop may be
slightly smaller than last years rec
ord crop because Of adverse weather

Record Income Forecast
From Bank investments
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 25.-According
to Dun & Bradstreet, the average
New York City bank increased its
investment portfolio by about 8 per
cent in the first half of 1912, while
out-of-town banks showed a con-
siderably larger increase. Most Of
the gain occurred in the second
quarter, which probably accounts for
the fact that earnings, generally.
were somewhat higher in the second
quarter than in the first quarter of
1912.
Since investments acquired in the
second quarter will probably be
carried through the rest of the year,
investment income will be at a rec
ord high, even though the new acqui-
sitions included a large volume Of
short term issues. The yield on
short term securities has increased
substantially in recent months, the
report says.
