SOUTH FORK FRONTIER
DAY DRAWS BIG CROWD
On Saturday, August 12, a revival
of the old Frontier parties was held
at the grounds on the upper South
Fork. Under the direction of T. W.
Ames an afternoon replete with buck
ing bronchos, plunging steers and
thrilling races was staged for the ben
efit of the community.
A dozen picked buckers ridden by
such men as Lloyd Coleman, George
Coleman, Dale Petit, Clarence Snyder,
Bill Pawley, Irish Riley and others
provided first class exhibitions. The
Coleman boys brought up two of their
best bronchos, while “Irish” found
“Hightower” quite a handful under a
rope surcingle.
C. Snyder was the lucky man to
draw “Rain in the Face” for a special
purse put up by one of the Valley
Ranch guests and acquitted himself
• in fine fashion.
Whenevr a lull In the program oc
curred a steer was shot out from the
chute with a yelling rider spooning
him to do his worst One of the best
rides was made by Frank Elser, a
guest at Valley, who showed his Tex
as training to good advantage.
Horse races of all descriptions were
put in such numbers that a liet of
them would be difficult to remember.
F. S. Groves’ eldest daughter won
first in a girls’ race, closely followed
by her younger sister. A young lady
in the Valley’s Park party won a sec
ond dudine race, while Lou Ericson,
Barry Williams. Mont Jones, Carl
Downing, all came in in the lead in
various other races.
At 6 p. m. George Grupp of the
well known Grupp restaurant in Cody
served a barbecued steer to the 300
guests. George and Ray Siggins de
serve great credit ofr the success of
the supper.
After the supper everyone drove
down to the Ames ranch t> finish off
the day with a ranch dance, which
continued to the small hours of the
morning. Mr. and Mrs. Ames were
the beet of hosts and thankj are due
them for the hospitality, as wedl as to
Mr. Ames and his associates for their
time and trouble in providing a lively
day for the South Fork.
GRASSHOPPERS FEATHER
OUT ON CLARK’S FORK
The stories they tell about hoppers
in the Sheridan papers are whoppers.
The Post boasts about two grass
hoppers picked up on Plum Creek
which were two and a half inches In
length. The Enterprise brags about
a couple caught on Lower prairie Dog
that measured four inches with a
waist and chest measure in propor
tion.
That’s nothing! Walter Hoffman
from the Clarks Fork country says
he caught two grasshoppers in his
mail box that had feathers, yellow
throats and bright red tails.
The amateurs over in Sheridan
county would as well dry up, for they
cannot compete with the profession
als of Park county when they get on
their mettle.
HON.‘BEAR GEORGE’
DENIES HE PLAYS
TOO MUCH POKER
Did or did not the Hon. “Bear
George” McClellan play too much po
ker while a member of the legisla
ture and senate,
This is the burning question over in
Washakie county where this original
and picturesque old timer is a candi-'
date for the senate on the republican '
ticket.
His qualifications, it appears, are
not the issuer His re-election de- 1
pends solely upon whether he is able |
to convince the voters that he was
not sitting up with a sick friend when !
he should have been looking after
their interests.
Now, the Hon. Bear George is too
honest to deny that he does play po
ker. He goes further and declares
not only that he enjoys poker tre
mendously but that the man who has
never experienced the thrill of draw
ing to a bob tail flush and Alling, has
missed something. What he does not
concede, and resents the imputation
strongly, is that either his own busi
ness or that of his constituents has
ever suffered through his liking for
this diversion.
This old timer, who is one of the
outstanding figures in northern Wy
oming and who occupies a good-sized
place in the State’s history through
his share in the development of the
Ten Sleep country, was in Cody on
Sunday and expressed himself as be
ing both hurt and astonished that a
question like this should have inject
ed itself Alto his camfpaign for the
senate.
The man responsible, he states, is
a comparative newcomer and one
who has been a disturbing element
among the friendly people of Washa
kie county since his arrival. Nor has
this person, who does not play poker,
been a success in any if his undertak
ings.
Mr. McClellan said of the tale
which is being assiduously circulated:
“I heard of the story but paid no
attention to it, as I thought after
living in Washakie county for 37
years and having served one term in
the house and four in the senate that
the people knew me well enough not
to make a denial necessary.
“But I have learned recently that
the newcomers who do not know me,
the Nebraskans and middle west peo
ple who are settling the county, are
believing it. Frankly, I am hurt and
amazed.
“I paved the way for those who are
now attempting to libel and discredit
1 me.
“I opened the country to the stock
men by ridding the range of predatory
animals—wolves, coyotes, lions and
bob-cats.
( “I broke broncs for SSO a month
and now own the ranch where I work
ed and about 1200 head of the finest
■ Hereford cattle in the state. 1 own
1,000 acres of irrigated land in the
. vicinity of Worland.
’Could a man who neglected his
> business or the business of others to
play poker accumulate this amount of
i property, I ask you?
“Washakie county is very close to
my heart. I love it and its people. I
would not neglect its interests any
qucker than I would my own, and that
is never. Ido what I have to do un
til it is finished. If there is any place
in the world I want to see prosper it
is the country in which I have spent
the best years of my life.
’ For this reason and because I un
derstand both the needs of the stock
man and the agriculturist I feel that
I am well qualified to represent them
; and I cannot think that the people of
Washakie county ar e going to turn
me down on the strength of the ab
surd and untruthful story that I neg
lect their business at the capital to
play poker!”
BOAK LOOKED OVER PARK
AS SITE FOR CONVENTION
OF WOODMEN OF WORLD
Head Consul Boak and the entire
board of managers of the Woodmen

nic at the John Goff ranch on Moun
ment Hill, on Sunday, August 20, last
ing throughout the day.

dry farmers, but all fanners and their
friends are welcome.
The fact that the picnic will not be
