When a youth of 23 in the winter of 18 Oliver Wallop tramped the wilds of British Columbia, A ratl- road was just pushing its way Into that country then, and the only suttlers were a few Englishmen and. half-breeds. ut I was in love with the coun- then.

After his winter in Canada, he drifted into Montana and settled in the Otter Creek country, five miles fvom the Montana-Wyoming bound: lle began the ralsing of horses on an extensive scale, . One winter he came into the Big Hurn region in Sheridan county to winter some horses, ‘The beauty of he country caught his eye and he purchased the O, B, Hanna ranch, ne first ranch holdings in the state Wyoming.

Tle is, by virtue of his new title, ninety:ninth ranking English peer under the Prince of Wales in tHe Mouse of Lords and ranks forty- third among the earls of the house. To newspaper men, the earl de- #1 he intended to visit England ig enough to be invested with ti tle, and then to return to his ranch near here, ‘After being graduated from Eaton and Baloil Colle; Oxford, Wallop came to Canada on a hunting trip in 1883. He afterward came to Wyom- ing to visit friends near here, He raised horses on this ranch and during the Boer war made a number of profitable sales to the British government, He then acquired a 4,000-acre ranch at Little Goose creek, where he now lives.

MUST RENOUNCE TITLE T® REMAIN CITIZEN DENVER, Colo., Sept. 9—(Asso- ciated Press)—Oliver Henry Wallop today apparently occupies the. uni- que dual status of being an Amert- can citizen and a British Earl, In America his earldoth could not be officially recognized because the law plainly states that in case an alien with a hereditary title should apply for citizenship, he must’ re- nounce that title to become natural- ized. This law, however, was en- acted on June 29, 1906, and Wallop Js said to have been granted-citizen+ ship papers one year before that. if Oliver Henry Wallop goes to England to assume the title he will have to renounce his American citi- eens wmaturalization authorities And if he wishes to remain on ming ranch as an American citizen, he probably must renounce the earldom, the’ same officials be- lieve. Authorities are convinced though, that if he possibly became a citizen after June 29. 1906, he renounced his rightful claim to the peerage. They also believe that it will be difficult for the new earl to stand in the role of both lord and citizen and that before long he must re- nounce one or the other. WALLOP MADE U. S. CITIZEN IN 1904 SHERIDAN, Wyo., Sept. 9.—Oll- ver Henry Wallop became a citizen of the United States on November 5. 1904, an examination of oldsrecords of the clerk of the district court here revealed today. He first announced his intention of becoming an Amer¢ can citizen as early as 1886. In: accepting citizenship, the new Barl of Portsmouth used the ordi- nary formula renouncing allegiancy to any foreign prince or potentate, “particularly Victoria, Queen of England.” He also took oath that he bore no title, and had never been endowed of “any degree of nobility.” No formal renunciation of title | rights fs on récord here and the Earl sald Wednesday none had ever been made. CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—(Associated Press).—Some Chicago persons may be able to say “I ramember his lord- ship back in ——,” if Oliver Henry Wallop, of Wyoming, accents the earldom he has inherited in Eng- land, For in 1897 he was married to Marguerite Walker, two of whose brothers were prominent Chicago men and their family of social prom- inence. The brothers. were the late Dr. Samuel Walker and the late Judge Charles Walker. + MURDER CAGE (UNSOLVED (Continued From Page One) every land,” were the last words written by Mrs. C.“B, Cook, presi: dent of the Benton County W.
