Wyoming county moves spark rivalry over new counties
Basin Wyoming reports political turmoil as Thermopolis Cody and Basin push for new counties. Thermopolis seeks creating a new county from parts of Big Horn and Fremont, Cody prefers a northern Big Horn county with Cody as seat, Basin opposes both and Meeteetse and Red Bank rumors are denied. Incendiary fire nearly destroyed Slane block in Thermopolis and livestock losses rise from wolves and coyotes with proposed state bounty funding. Coal output in Gebo rises toward 1000 tons daily, and Grandpa Faust marks his 18th birthday celebration in Meeteetse while a Lovell child loses sight in an accident.
