1922 STAMPEDE BREAKS RECORDS IN ATTENDANCE AND ENTHUSIASM
'BILL’PAWLEYHANGS
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D. C., July 6. —What
is said to be one of the most remark- ;
able photographs ever taken of a
bucking broncho and rider was trans
mitted to President Harding recently
by Congressman Mondell, and it now
has a prominent place on the walls of
the White House. The horse, a pow
erful five-year-old maverick who had
in previous years eluded successive
roundups, was photographed with the
rider astride, while standing perpen
dicularly just an instant before the
animal fell backwards. A miracle and
unusual agility saved the rider from
serious injury.
This remarkable picture was taken
during a wild west entertainment pro-’
vided for visitors at the Phelps ranch
at Pitchfork, near Cody. The rider
was “Bill” Pawley, an old employe of
the Phelps ranch and a most daring
broncho buster.
During Mr. L. G. Phelps’ last visit
to Washington he referred to the pic
ture during a chat with the President,
and the Chief Executive expressed a
desire to see it The unusual snap
shot was sent to Congressman Mon
dell, who transmitted it to the Presi
dent A sad feature of the incident
was the fact that since the photo
graph was sent from Wyoming the
donor has died.
JOHN W. HAY WILL
HOLD MEETING HERE
MIDDLE OF MONTH
John W. Hay writes that while he
was unable to make Cody in time for
the Stampede he expects to be here
either the 17th or 18th of this month
when he will hold a meeting in the
interests of his gul>ernatorial cam
paign.
He plans to leave Rock Springs on
the 12th and go through with the car
avan that will open the Hoback Can
yon line into the Park, returning by
the way of Cody.
Mr. Hay states that after a trip to
Buffalo, Newcastle, Gillette, Casper,
and Sheridan he has no reason to feel •
discouraged with the outlook.
WHITE WOLF’S MATE
FINALLYJAPTUREO
Gillette, Wyo., June 28. —The mate
of the notorious white female wolf
has been captured by the same A. G.
Hanson, government trapper, who|
caught the female wolf several weeks
ago.
He was caught in the Pumpkin
Butte region. Hanson’s record is a
real one, for he has trapped or shot
in the 28-day period he was hunting
four wolves, one coyote, and one bob
cat

Satisfied—Best Show Ever, The Verdict.
“The best show I ever sawl” This verdict rendered by the
people who packed the grandstands and bleachers was the com
mittee’s reward for its weeks and months of hard work and it feels
well repaid for all the effort it has put forth.
For three days our little town was a mass of color and life,
jammed with horses, riders, cars. They came not only from the
towns of the basin, northern Wyoming and Montana, but from Phil
adelphia, New York, Boston and the Pacific coast to see the nuique
celebration which Cody has staged for the third time.
Chief Bird Hat and other Crow Indians arrived with their camps
and horses to lend still more color to the picturesque scenes which
for three days made the town one of the most interesting in the
West.
Owing to lack of time it is not possible for the Enterprise to
publish this week more than a meagre account of the celebration
and the results, but next week it will give itself the pleasure of
making particular mention of the events and the participants who
helped make it the success it proved to be.
Briefly, it may be said that the gate receipts showed that 5,395
j persons were in attendance during the three days. The receipts
j totaled $8,857.65.
On the 4th of July 2679 were present, the sth, 1642, and the 6th,
1094.
As the bills are not yet in, it is too soon to say where the asso
ciation stands financially.

PRINTER FINDS RANCH
LANGUAGE AMBIGUOUS
Farmer Farmer, who is now rough
ing it w’lth Farmer Hppkins out on
Clarks Fork, was in during Stampede
week helping out the Enterprise dur
ing its rush of printing. Elmer says
ranch life is a little ambiguous to a
printer at UYktil he gets onto the
language. For instance, he w’anted
to know if the Mrs. wanted a hen set
single or double column, w-as looking
for a quoin wrench to lock up a gate
and calls eating his dessert pieing his
form. He says, however, he likes the
life and intends to follow it perma
nently.
VOICES OF THE NIGHT
Cody. Wyo., July 5, 1922.
Miss Caroline Lockhart:
I wish to inform you with a great I
deal of agony and regret that your
miniature mules have been very an
noying for the past two days, from
3a. m. until sa. m. But I could over
look this if they did not disturb my
beauty slumbers (which I am in
much need of) by their everlasting I
mooing and ah-ee-ing. You moved |
the pavilion to save one lady’s beauty i
sleep and it would only be a small
matter to move your baby mules to
save another one.
Your true friend,
BOHUNKUS.
AVERAGED WELL
The two Little boys went through
the Stampede with varying fortune.
George Shows A won the free-for-all
the last day, but June was disquali- '
fied in the burro race because he
couldn’t make the weight.
Fifty thousand women from Euro
pean countries have entered the Unit
ed States since the armistice.

ISSUED EVERY WEDNESDAY
AFTER $5,000,000
HOTELJR CODY
A movement is on foot among the
business men of Cody to secure for
our town one of the big club hotel*
which are being built at /arious
I points throughout the country.
The hotel which has been proposed
for Cody would contain appoximately
1000 rooms and cost $5,000,000.
A number of local business men
j met here this week with B. H. Farrell
of Philadelphia, who is engaged In
promoting the building of these ho
tels, to learn of the proposed plan*.
Mr. Farrell stated that the building of
| the hotel would be financed by the
sale of 5000 hotel club memberships
at 100 each. This, he stated, could be
accomplished without iserioius diffi
culty. It was also pointed out that
' the great natural attractions at Cody
| would make it a particularly desir
' able location for such an institution.
| A committee consisting of John F.
Cook, L. R. Ewart and E. D. Wileow
i appointed to investigate the matter
further and report to the Cody Club
j at its next meeting.
