FRENCH THREATEN TO WITHDRAW FROM GENOA MEET LESTOGK MEN ORDER OPENING eC Weather Forecast OF TRAIL, TEST CASE PROBABLE Fence Crossing Trail on Hawley Ranch to Come Down in Movement for Ruling in Court An open break with home- steaders of this county which will involve a test case in the opening of the Seventeen- Mile-Well trail, a uniform wage scale for ranch hands, sheepheréers @nd shearers, and a wool pool were the things for which the Natrona Couzty Woo) Growers’ asso- ciation went on record Saturday aft- ernoon between 5 and 6 o'clock at a meeting at the courthouse. Marvin L. Bishop Jr., who ts attor- ney for the woolgrowers in the case between ‘the #tockmen and farmers, presided at the meeting in the absence of M. L. Bishop, president of the asso ciation. Mr. Bishop laid before the 25 members present the facts of the situation. s He stated that matters had been carried to such a climax that things are in readiness for the sheriff or his deputy to tear down the fence of Rob- ert Hawley’s ranch, which is alleged to cross the Seventeen Mile Well trail. ‘This trail is 500 feet wide and starts at the Seventeen Mile well northeast of Casper, going through Cadoma, Fmigrant Gap, Bates Hole and ending at Deer creek, a: total of about 70 miles. Mr. Bishop said that'the trail had been surveyed at the Hawley piace and that the stockmen had a right to jopen it. If the association were willing, he raid, the trail would be opened at this point Monday or Tuesday of this week. ‘A suit for damages will presumably be brought against the county, which will probably go on to the supreme court before it is settled and consti. tute a test case for the disagreement. Mr. Bishop eaid that he regretted the antagonism between ho tw: tions and disclaimed any feel: animosity on the part of the stock- men. He pointed out the fact that it was to the advantage of both sides in temperature.

Paving all the streets in the new Standard addition will afford an op- portunity to thoroughly test out the quality of the asphalt type of pave- ment which will be manufactured here.

So Says Ex-Governor Brooks on Advices| MARY GARDEN EXPECTED From Washington; Government Side of Controversy Is Set Forth _ With all members of the Wyoming delegation at Wash- ington aroused to the necessity of doing something to pre- vent if possible the government carrying out its contract with the Mammoth Oil company for exclusive development of the Teapot oil dome (naval reserve No. 3), Casper, the head- quarters of the fight which is being waged against the con- tract, is being deluged with views and expression on the subject. B. B. Brooks, president of the Rocky Mountain Ol! and Gas Producers Asso- ciation, which is waging continuous war on the policy, says that he has been informed that the contract which hunded the Teapot dome to the Mam- moth Oll company was consummated two months ago. The authority for this statement was obtained by Mr Brooks in a se’.’ secret w=y and he dc- clined to make known the author unt. he had made a further investigation. ! In the latest interchange of com- munications between Senator John B. Kendrick and Mr. Brooks, the senator says in part: “As far as I have been able to ascer- tain there is nothing in the fue! sit- vation in the navy which makes it a necessity or even expedient to opin is immense reservotr, which navy officers had come to regard as a sup- ply which wonld be held inviolate for the future generations. In fact I think the true attitude of the naval officers, that ts the mer who. are spending their lives in the interest of an efficient navy will be found almost to aman opposed to the proposed plan.” “As far as our own state ts con- cerned, a grave injustice will be done. as your telegram suggeris, to the state of Wyoming*by*the transportation of this oil out of the state under the plan contemplated. Several of the large eastern papers are severely condemn- ing the proposal as a deliberate scheme to turn over this great re- serve supply of oil‘ to tho big inter- ests of the country and one of the newspaper correspondents {n discuss- ing the situation with me very aptly appraised the effect that the carrying out of this plan would have upon your city by stating that it would make a cow town out of Casper again. “While the newspaper accounts ana| St- Louis . the activities on the New York stock| Cincinnati .. exchange seem to indicate that arf| Batteries — IF HILL HEIRS ST.

Later she may go to Europe for a sojourn, Miss Garden's withdrawal from the leadership of this city’s opera was quite as dramatic as her entry. She spoke spiritedly of Americanism and American ideals in opera, main- taining that “her fighting blood” urged: her to stay but her reason bade -her go. ‘Miss Garden's tenure of office was marked with. considerable. turmoil. It began January 13, 1921, when. at the suggestion of Harold F. McCor- mick, the position was offered her. During the year the organization's losses have been almost $1,000,000 the largest in history. In explaining the deficit, Miss Garden said that Mr. McCormick had told her to make his Iast year as backer of the company a gala sea- son.

While members of the staffs of the district attorney, the sheriff and the coroner, combining forces for the in- vestigation, declared they were con- vinced the raid upon the residence of Mathias and Fidal Elduayen, was “the work of a well organized band,” W. 8. Coburn, Los Angeles attorney, and grand goblin of the Pacific domain, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, told newspaper men, in answer to direct questions that if any members of that participated, they had done so without official sanction. ‘The dead and injured men, all peace officers, were declared by Eugene Bis- cajluz, under-sherift, to have been members of the masked and armed band, estimated at from 200 to 250, which raided the Elduayen home ‘be- cause of the reported belief that the Elduayen brothers were bootleggers.
