Secretary of Interior May
Visit Wyoming in Summer
, WASHINGTON, May 18.—Accord

Warren. Wyoming may expect a visit
from Hon. Walter L. Fisher, Secre

the coming summer. The new Secre
tary Is desirous of giving personal at

Pathfinder Reclamation Project, and
Is anxious to visit the project this

which exist.
In the meantime, the Secretary is
having work carried forward for the

There recently appeared in the

of George E. Pexton, national com
mitteeman from Wyoming, with the
following complimentary reference:
“There was a general questioning
about Pexton over Sunday by the
faithful, and It was learned that he Is
really a veteran on the committee,
and hasyone through three national
campaigns. Senator Warren was the
member for Wyoming m the McKinley
campaign of 1896, but gave way to

the Senate. The amazing tale told of
Pexton is that he does not care for

when Stanley was throwing Loomis

ager Woods of the Billings Gazette, a
stalwart, brown eyed young man

the eyes of the Billings Boosters fell

here’s Annie Laurie's little brother”—
and the hand played Annie Laurie.
The recipient of this outburst of
good fellowship was C. W. Lowrey of

Arthur Wallace Dunn, in which the
writer while finding fault with the
building up of Fort D. A. Russell, and

to Senator Warren as being the most
successful legislator In getting things
for his state. In this article, Mr.
Dunn sayi:
“It is difficult to award the prize for
the most successful legislator in get

sentative Walter P. Brownlow stood
at the top, but no doubt Senator
Frauds E. Warren of Wyoming holds
the record among living legislators.”

that the efforts of Senator Warren

A TRUE STORY OF A
TRUEBADGER FIGHT
The most brutal and horrifying Inci
dent of unspeakable cruelty and
j shameless and depraved savagery ever
known to have taken place In Park
county, marred the otherwise trium
phant and gloriously successful visit of
the Billings Boosters last Tuesday.
Full and complete details of this
atrocity are peculiarly hard to obtain
and little else than vague hints of this
hideous affair are we able to glean,
although the very air is full of blood
, curdling rumors that.will not down
and can not be conclusively proven.
If the full truth were known, or our
own suspicions published, in regard to
i the identity of the culprits directly
concerned, It is very probable that the
public would mete out to them a ter
rible, drastic, and severe punishment.
Suffice it to say, however, that a
coterie of evil-minded gents with dia
bolical ideas beneath their Stetsons,
had in some manner procured a full
grown badger and caused this fero
cious and untamable denizen of the
desert to be concealed in an old and
entirely vacant salt-barrel. Then'
they proceeded with Satanic cunning
to arrange for a combat between the
badger and a bulldog who is said to
have a national reputation as a tighter
of all things. The Innocent and en
thusiastic visitors had their sporting
blood aroused by having witnessed
the hall game in the afternoon and
the wrestling match in the evening,
so they fell an easy prey to those who
inveigled them into witnessing what
was purported to be an exciting
though altogether harmless bit of
sport. Not only that, but one of the
leading members of the bunch from
the Montana metropolis, even volun
teered to drag the fierce animal from
its abiding place. Enormous sums
are said to have been wagered on the
outcome of the fight Cody men bet
on the dog while the Billings gentle
men valiantly backed the plucky little
animal of the plains. The efforts of
the dangerous beast to escape had
aroused the fury of the bulldog to an
almost uncontrollable degree and
many men were beginning to wish
they had placed their money on the ,
canine when It was announced that
all was in readiness. A prominent
citizen of Cody gently removed a huge
stone from the top of the barrel and
the newspaporlal prophet of the Yel
lowstone gave a mighty tug and a ter
rific Jerk and succeeded In tearing the
beast loose from bis moorings. The
animal was so infuriated by tblß
treatment that he Hew with the feroc
ity of a tiger and the agility of an ape
straight at the man who had jerked ,
him, who probably would have been
severely and painfully lacerated had
it not been for the timely Interven
tion of two hundred bystanders and i
the bulldog. When it was realized ■

tematic manner. What tends to de
velop your country and dispose of
your products on a cash basis aids in
increasing your purchasing power and
building up your county. What more
natural point for you to buy goods
than Billings?”
This sentiment was endorsed by
MeSsrs. O'Donnell, Selvidge, McCor
mick, Manager Wood of the Gazette,
Chris Y'egen and others.
Cody business men gave up every
thing that day, closed their places of
business during the ball game, aod
gave the guests their personal atten
tion.
In the evening the Irma lobby was
filled, aod one pretty feature was the
singing by Messrs. J. L. Whitney, A.
B. Rcnwick, H. Kuschki, A. Clanton,
and L. H. Fenske, the Billings quar
tet.
The last good thing on the program
was the badger fight. An account of

more detailed report may be obtain

ger itself.
how seriously the so-called sport
might have resulted, loud protests
• were beard on all sides. In the midst
of the tumult that resulted the badger
disappeared and has not been heard of
since. It Is asserted that he was tak-
I en to Billings as a souvenir of the
. trip to Cody, but it :s very likely.that
he found his w£7 back to his native
hea'h.
Indignation ran high among those
who witnessed the cruel sport and it
was suggested by a Billings man that
the malefactors who put up the job
should be punished, and to that end
he suggested that a sinking fund be
raised and placed at the disposal of
the librarian, who will be instructed
to prosecute to the fullest extent of
the law any and all who took any part
in this heinous outrage. There is a
law against cruelty to animals in this
state, and it must aud shall be en
forced. The barbarous practice of
badger-baiting is fraught with so
many painful and pernicious details
that it makes the bull-fighting Mexi
can take a back seat and the perform
ance of an Apache at a scalping
seance would be deemed as gentle as a
collector of funds for the Salvation
Army when compared to the revolting
savagery of those who indulge In
fighting badgers. Such inhuman
pastimes should not be tolerated even
If we do live in the ‘ wild aod woolly
West.” The proper place for a bull
dog is in the back yar j. securely at
tached to the premises by means of a
chain, and the proper place for a bad
ger you may be sure is not In a salt
barrel, at any rate. Let justice be

fund above mentioned. Billings men
are expected to donate from (5 to (50
each and other people who are inter

please to the Anti-Badger-Fighting-
Fund, in care of the librarian.
