It's increasingly clear that there's going to be a prosecution here.  The only question is for what. After initially indicating it was more or less helpless in the matter, the Game & Fish has retracted that statement and made it clear that it's condemning this behavior.  The Governor has condemned it.  And Suzette County is indicating its looking at prosecution, for something.

Tuesday, November 7, 1972. Nixon Reelected.

Today In Wyoming's History: November 7: 1972 President Richard M. Nixon was re-elected in a landslide over Democrat George McGovern.

President Richard Nixon overwhelmingly won reelection to the Oval Office, defeating George McGovern.

I recall this election occurring, which means that this is probably the first Presidential election I directly remember.

In that same year, locally:

1972  A Sublette County straw poll shows 970 people opposed to, 279 in favor of and 105 undecided on the "Wagon Wheel Project" which would extract natural gas in the area with five underground nuclear explosions.  Yikes!  Attribution: Wyoming State Historical Society.

Today In Wyoming's History: February 15, 1921: 

1921 Teton County formed.

1921  Sublette County formed.

To add to this a bit, Teton County was formed out of what had been part of Lincoln County.  Sublette County was formed out of parts of Lincoln County and Fremont County, the latter of which remains an enormous sized county.

Followers of Gasoline Alley were on day two of the dramatic plot line.

The monument to suffragist was dedicated in the Capital Rotunda.  Photographs of it have appeared in earlier installments of this series.  Almost immediately, however, it was moved to the basement, where it would remain until 1997 when it was restored to the Rotunda.

The New York Post ran a cartoon about Harding.

A publication called Good Morning ran a scathing cartoon associating war with a variety of extra evils.

Good Morning (a journal), February 15, 1921: " The dollar-a-year patriotic profiteers, including the fifty seven varieties of Trust presidents, with Charlie Schwab sprinkling the street. Ku Klux Klan, bodyguard for the profiteers and standard bearers of race hatred, reaction and private vengeance."

Georgian Bolsheviks asked for Soviet assistance in their efforts which resulted in the Soviets dedicating the Red Army to the subjugation of the country.

Eight train passengers were killed, and ten wounded, when the IRA attempted to ambush a train at Upton in Cork, and a resulting gun battle with a British Army unit developed.

The Columbian Air Force was founded on this day.  All of its early aircraft were extremely primitive, even by the standards of the day.

Monday at the Bar; Courthouses of the West: Sublette County Courthouse, Pinedale Wyoming

Courthouses of the West: Sublette County Courthouse, Pinedale Wyoming:

This is the Sublette County Courthouse in Pinedale, Wyoming.  The courthouse is the seat, for Sublette County, of the two courts of Wyoming's 9th Judicial District.

I'm unsure of the vintage of this courthouse, but I'm guess it dates to at least the 1950s, although I could be in error.   The court is in a Federalist style.
