FUNERAL OF WM. T.
HOGG IS IMPRESSIVE
Services In Charge of Masons
As Hundreds Gather To Pay
Last Tribute To Friend.
One might feel that be had not
lived in vain if be could know that
ilia going would mean so much to so
many people as filled the Temple last
Sunday where the funeral services
©ver W. T. Hogg were held.
The road from Meeteetse was a
procession of automobiles containing
old timers who had started at day
berak to show by their presence the
affectionate regard in which they
held the friend and neighbor who had
shared their hardships and struggles
in the pioneer days on the Greybull
river. The quiet, unassuming man
who made no bid for popularity, was
followed to Riverside cemetery by the
longest funeral cortege that Cody
has ever witnessed.
The floral gifts were many and very *
beautiful while the services in the
Temple, conducted by the Reverend
Mr. Blaske, were brief but impressive. .
The Episcopal choir furnished the
music and the Masons, of which body
Mr. Hogg was a memtier, were in at
tendance. i
The active pall-bearers were warm, ■
personal friends—Dwight E. Holliste |
Roger McGinnis Richard Young of
Buffalo, Wyo., Alex Linton of Mee-1
teetse, W. L. Walls of Cheyenne, and
L. R. Ewart.
The honorary pall-bearers were t
James Dickie of Thermopolis, George
T. Beck, J. M. Schwoob, P. E. Mark
ham, O. D. Marx and S. C. Parks. •
Among those who came from a dis
tance were Alec Lang and Charles
Rand of Buffalo, George and Dave
Taylor of Tensleep with their wives,
William McCoy of Casper, Mr. and ,
Mrs. Robt. Taylor of Grand Island, |
Nebr. t and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hogg of
Denver.,
The long procession of mr«:ns so '
lowed to Riverside where t*:« burial
rites were those of the masonic ord<*> |
It was with wet eyes and heavy J
hearts that the big concourse of peo-|
pie turned away when the services j
were ended, leaving “Bill,’ ’as he was
known to so many, behind in the sun
shine, under his lilies and roses,
starting on his long sleep fn the still
company of those who had preceded ,
him.
His interest in life was so keen'
that those who knew how much he
enjoyed it could not easily resign
themselves to its abrupt ending.

ler of the car.
( Another car, driven by Donald Me-
I Call, brother of the young lady victim,
I had accompanied, the Ba refield car on
j a trip up the river, and the accident
i occurred on the way back to Cody.
While going down quite a steep
grade the brake clevis pulled loose,
i making it impossible to hold the car
in check. Ab the auto gained momen
tum Mr. Barefleld chose the alterna
tive of steering it Into the bank on
the upper side of the road, thus pre
i venting it from plunging over the
1 grade and into the river far below.
As he did so the auto turned over.
Barefleld and Mrs. McCaskill were
caught in the wreck, while Miss Mc-
Call was thrown clear. She suffered
a dislocated shoulder, however from
the force of the fall, while Mrs. Mc-
Caskill sustained a very wicked flesh
wound above her ankle. It is thought
no bones were broken.
The victims are now making pro

lating themselves that the accident
did not result in even more serious
consequences.

The Indians are one of the chief at

color to our celebration.
All winter two factions have been
arguing as to whether they would hold
a Fair at Pryor on the 4th of July or

They have the time of their lives

not even excepting Billings. The word
Cody is the open sesame to their te

is welcome if hte iwyi he is from

So we have been told that our
friends prevailed in the debate and
they sent word last Thursday through
a messenger that they would be
here.
“Me come,” said Plentlc > n s, laugh

for sale a rifle wh'ich belonged to
Col. W. F. Cody.
Mrs. Brook states in her communi
cation :
“I have a rifle that was made espe

him on the plains while hunting buf
falo. My husband hunted with him
and traded for it in the 60’s. It is in
fine condition and my husband prais
ed it highly.
“It is muzzle-loading, silver-mount

In Wyoming that are cooperating with
the State Department in making pop

stock subscriptions for improvements
at the fair grounds. From indications
it looks as if at least half a section of
new bleachers wall be necessary. Be-'
side the bleachers there are to be
some changes in the arrangement of
the chutes, band stand, also additional I
corrals. The track will have to be put ’
in condition and some repair work
done on the buildings.
I. H. Larom, who returned from
New York City on Friday, tells us that
he has a large party of boys, a party
of girls and some 60 guests who will
l>e here in time for the Stampede.
The Burlington R. R. has just issued
a booklet containing a description of.
the Stampede which they are sending
out to their agents.
A letter arrived last week from New
Hampshire asking the dates, while
nearly every mail brings inquiries
from pospective visitors and riders
and ropers.
We learn that Billings and Sheridan
Edgar and the towns of»the Basin are
already talking of our celebration
and making plans to be here, so it ap
pears to be necessary for us to in
crease our seating capacity wnich was
not sufficient last year for the attend
ance on our largest day.
All the dude ranches give us the
same information, namely, that their
guests are anxious to be here in time ■
for the Cody Stampede and are mak-,
ing their arrangements to that end.
We are more than pleased with the
purchase of stock by outsiders who
show their interest in us, and confi

TRYING NEW GAME
BIRDS INMOATANA
Seven pairs of Hungarian partridg
es, direct from Jugo-Slavia were liber
ated near Red Lodge last week. As
soon as they were released they took
wing and made a long and vigorous
flight and are now reported to be mak
ing themselves at home and show
every indication of thriving.
Their introduction was due to the
Rod and Gun Club of Red Lodge
which is an active organiation mak
ing every effort to thoroughly stock
that section with game birds and pio
tect the native birds and animals. '
Next year they propose to make
war 'on the coyotes which have done
much damage to the game in that sec- ,
tion.
The Hungarian partridge has
proven highly successful where 'it
has been introduced in the northwest-|
ern states. In one county in Wash
ington 80 pairs were released 10 years
ago and last year 160,000 were shot
during the open season without im- '
pairing the brood supply.

Kontana Bankers
Caught-No License
The majesty of Wyoming fish and
game law was brought to the atten
| tion of a couple of Montana bankers
I in a manner that was both sudden and
' painful, the early part of this week.
The victims of the tragedy were
Messrs. A. F. Christiana, assistant
cashier, and H. B. Camp, clerk, of the
I Miners Bank at Bear Creek, Mont.
We kdnw that is whtf they were be
i cause they modestly admitted the fact
■ when taken in tow, upon the theory,
evidently that those of such high,
standing in their community were not
amenable to the fish laws of the sov
ereign state of Wyoming. But Carl
Downing thought it might be well to
divide some of their undivided profits
with said state.
j The two capitalists were busily en-'
gaged in angling for the elusive trout
in South Fork, west of Cody, when
Downing decided to foreclose on them. |
Upon investigation it was ascertained
that they had neglected the formality
of a fishing license for Wy- ’
oming, consequently their security
was considered inadeuate.
The sportsmen from the north were
hailed before Justice C. A. C. Snow
'of South Fork, who proceeded to as
i sess against each of them an amount
in the principal sum of >25.00 (twenty
five and no-one-hundredths dollars)
together with attorney’s fees of ten
per cent whether collected by suit or
otherwise, and other costs in said
case, which were at the time aforesaid (
>B.OO (eight and no-one-hundredths
dollars.) The wanderers were also
required to purchase a non-resident
license for Wyoming.
No grace was granted by hfzzonor
and the fines were paid at maturity.
The condition of the errant anglers
at the close of business on that day
will make interesting reading when
they get home.

Os Sheridan Says Price Is
Too High For Prohibition.
Editor of Sheridan Post:
• What crime has not been committed
in the name of prohibition? What
outrage of liberty has not occurred in
the name of this futile fanaticism?
We have seen, in two years, more
lives sacrificed to prohibition than the
open sale of liquors would take in half
a century. We have seen public of
ficials debauched to defeat a form of
sumptuary legislation to which man
kind has never submitted —and never
will submit. We have seen legislat
ive bodies prostituted in the name of
“morals,” and these law-making bod
ies enact legislation as pleased the
fancy of fanatics: and sleek reform
ers who live in ease and luxury thru
■ the oupression of the American peo
ple.
We have seen the constitution scof
fed and mocked by advocates of pro
hibition; and its guarantees overriden
in a vain attempt to compel the peo
ple to submit to a tyranny more abso
lute than ever dared by the despots
of old. We have seen even the home
ruthlessly invadeed by officials of the
: law, in defiance of the fourth amend
ment to the constitution, and to the
outrage of every concept of liberty. In
the name of prohibition, we have seen
the Constitution—a document written
ten to express the hopes of mankind
> for thousands of years—undermined
• and ridiculed so that a spurious
amendment attached thereto through
• hypocrisy and cowardice may be forc-
• ed upon a people who object to its ty
ranny.
We have seen the laws of fanatics
L strike down the exalted patriotism of
millions of our citizens; and turn love
!of country to distrust of country. We
have seen millions of our youths sent
forth to die for liberty; and those
who returned told that “liberty’ is a
| moth-eaten fallacy of the enemy they
faced that freedom might endure.
We have Med. we have oppressed,
we have groveled in the mire of de
l celt to serve the ends of fanticism
and tyranny. Today we are reaping
the harvest of infamy that we have
sown. Today we hear the cry going
up that we are sweeping forward to
I the destruction of all law and order;
I the result of arbitrary legislation
which was to make us a nation of
wingless angels.
Liquor is a mixture of smiles and
i tears, of happiness and sorrow; even
as love is. In it lurks danger, as
lurks danger in gold, government and
, religion, when abused. Its evils are
many and its joys are more. But, ac
cuse it as one may: prove its evils as
l one can, it has never in all the ages
■ swept a nation into tyranny and des
, tructlon. But despotism and fanatic-
■ ism have wrecked nations from the
1 beginning of history. They will wreck
ours if we submit.
Liberty is too great a price to pay
for prohibition.

Lovellites To Give
Road Fund Benefit
The Big Horn Mountain Road Show,
with a troup of 28 people, including
; twelve girls and the famous Merry
j Madcaps Orchestra, w’ill be presented
i at the Temple Theatre, Cody, Monday
night. May 29.
The show consists of nine big acta
' with many unique, new and novel
t ties. Reserved seats are now on
j sale at usual prices. Overture at 8
o’clock, Curtain at 8:15.
The Merry Madcaps Orchestra will
• furnish music for a dance Immediate
| ly after the show.
This show was originated by the
Lovell people and is being staged In
an effort to secure funds for the com
pletion of the road across the Big
Horn Mountains, which creates an
appreciable short-cut to the country
east of the Big Horns.
The ehow went over big at both
Lovell and Powell, and has the strong
endorsement of the Cody Club, which
is doing its bit toward helping along
this worthy project
