Bright in his mental powers he made a fine intellectual companion; possessing the most delicious sense of humor he was the centre of any group of men with which he chanced; young as he was he had known the world, seen its darker side, and yet so sweet was his spirit and so kind and/gentle his attitude toward all of his fellows that his broad and charitable views enabled him to retain the good will and respect of his contemporaries. WHAT SHALL SYSTEM BE. (Continued from Page 1.) “Who is. your uncle?’' continued Mr. Schwoob. “We are going to form a company to drill for water for stockmen, and then we will be in a position to res ponsibly back up our contracts” said Mr. Foster. Mr. Schwoob never did get that evening a frank statement from Fos ter as to just what his guarantee would be, neither the name of his uncle nor any tangible commercial references. After some more desultory discus sion on water and with the under standing that they would again meet as soon as Councilman Darrah got back from a hunting trip that the water bugaboo would assume some de finite shape. Council adjourned. Prior to the water works discussion Fire Chief H. H. Schwoob and Harry Robertson, appeared before the council and urged that property owners be made to rebuild ash pits wherever necessary as the town was standing in threatened danger from fire by the existence of so many defective ash pits. The matter of an additional man to make a nightly fire patrol waa thresh ed out. The discussion brought out that S2OO per month was now being paid for two mefi and that these two should so have the interests of the town at heart to divide the work and not place the added cost of SBO upon either the taxpayers or the business section. The matter was not disposed of at this session, but will prove a lively topic at the coming meeting. ■■ - ♦ SCOTT LYALL’B COLTS.

RICHARDS EXONERATES PAYTON (Continued from Page 1.) suffering from insanity, and that he had been taken to Basin, which was true. That part of the dispatches stating that he was under arrest as a suspect in the Red Bank double kill ing, appears to have been pur'ely ima ginary upon the part of the Basin correspondent, who said that Payton when arrested was constantly mutter ing about the tragedy; ihat he was in the vicinity of Red Bank when Mr and Mrs. Jenkins were killed, and that he wrote the first account of the killing for the press. In reply to a telegram from the Cheyenne Tribune to Governor Rich ards asking about Payton’s connection with the death of his daughter, the governor wired that paper from Red Bank that the report was not true. A tiegram to the Tribune from Basin, says: “Payton was not arrested on charge of Jenkins murder. He is being held by county authorities awaiting arrival from Cheyenne of county attorney. He will then stand trial for bis sanity, which is very much in doubt. There is nothing to the story about his connec tion with Jenkins murder, and same is merely conjecture. This is Payton‘a fourth trial for his sanity.” Payton is well known in Lander, | having lived there at one time. Accord ing to his own statement, he has suf fered from intermittent insanity from the time he was 13 years old. Ho has been Sicarcerated in the Wyoming asytatr four times and three times in other states. He is about 55 years of age and of unusual intelligence lie has a family at Aripooish, Big Horn county at which place he formerly conducted what he called the “Com mon Sense Farm,” at which he under took to enable mental deficients to earn their livelihood. The fact that Payton suffered a lapse from sanity about the same time the Red Bank tragedy took place, ap jjeara $o be the only foundation for suspicion pointing to him. Since the return of Governor Rich ards to the ranch after the funeral of his daughter and son-in-law he has devoted himself to an attempt to solve the mystery of their deaths and has found evidence that a third person must have been implicated in the tragedy. One bit of evidence Is a hitherto undetected bullet hole made by a weapon other than either of those found beside the bodies. LEGAL NOTICE.

High School Feuilleton Weekly Budget of Newt From Upper Clattet of The School PERCY CALKINS , Editor l A pleasant surprise was given the editor Monday evening, when a num ber of the High School students ap peared en-mass at his house. It was too well known why he did not appear at Sunday school and at High school Monday. That fact seems to be the only available object to lay the sur prise to for no one of the merry com pany, that beseiged the residence seem ed to know who started the idea and collected the happy band. Regardless of these facts, the party caught him in the act of shoveling coal, took him Into the house and after all had a good look at his still distorted fea tures the evening was enjoyed by song and conversation which lasted until the hour of ten. In perusing the wfeekly columns of the Thermopolis “Independent” the following greets the eye and suggests a movement that should be taken up in our own High School. High School Contest.

Seven High school students will be on the pro grams at the coming contest, and the selections will be varied from the serious, the grave, the dramatic, to the Kentucky style of oratory and the Hoose’er form of side splitting merri ment.

FROST, - Cody, Wyoming > Phone 33 Black Work on the first issue of the Torch is progressing fast and we are abso lutely sure, that, when it comes out, which will be ere long, it will pleas* the public in every respect. The following, from the pen of Dorothy Waples, though not one of her masterpieces, is an excellent sample of her descriptive powers and comes to the editor, as the best of a series of characterizations, from the Junior Class, of different pilgrims ia Chaucer’s Prologue: The Wife of Bath. Riding in our company was a wor thy housewife of Bath, a loud-voiced, jolly woman, whose constant joking and harsh laughter first turned my at tention in her direction. Her red face, coarse in feature, and bold of expression, was not aided to ward attractiveness by the irregular line of teeth shown between her busy lips. The neatness displayed in tho hair combed tightly back from her shining forehead, and the strength ia her round red arms, combined witk her inexhaustible energy in keeping lhe strictest of order in at least ono house of Bath. Perhaps it was due to this super fluity of strength and energetic self respect, that in all things the good woman surpassed the previous stand ards. In cloth-weaving, Ypres and Ghent could not equal her. Her friends were always the safer to remember the genius by which this vigorous housewife so easily (she herself main tained, at least) out distanced them ia everything, and to respectfully allow her to win her laurels without too great competition. For often had tho temper of our good wife’s tongue been proved, and none in Bath 'could for get that Relic Sunday when a devout rival was first at the altar, stealing the rightful place of my indignant friend. The more unfortunate, was her deafness, for a misunder standing was often sufficient cause for air so blue that it would seem an imitated Monday. Being consistent in all things, She might have been called a trifle vain of her appearance, for she dressed ele gantly in ten-pound keverchefs and scarlet hose. But she had grounds for a little modest pride, for had she not to her glory the very creditable list of five husbands? And she could choose a fine man, and easily recog nize a good catch. For her curiosity and love of gossip had led this good wife through travels, not only in her own England, but over all the conti nent, and she had seen many men of all varieties. Oh, this good woman of Bath was well versed In all the devi ous ways of treacherous Love. Page Five
