The City of Sundance is now at a point where it can start issuing citations for dogs at large. Several known issues involving dogs within city limits made this a priority. There are other ordinances that Sheriff Jeff Hodge aims to begin enforcing, he said at last week’s meeting of the council, but this is currently the “primary one”. The ordinance has been in place since 1986 and prohibits owners from allowing their dogs to run at large within town limits or keeping nuisance or vicious animals. Dogs must also be licensed and vaccinated again...

POWELL —- A young Michigan man who allegedly poached nine mule deer in Cody over the summer is now facing more legal trouble, as investigators say they’ve also tied him to the killing of a cow last year. Twenty-year-old Josh Wielhouwer was already facing 18 misdemeanor counts in connection with deer that were killed and left to waste in Cody in August and early September. Last week, prosecutors added a felony count of property destruction for a cow that was killed north of the city in 2023. Like the deer, the domestic animal was apparently sla...

For Crook County, there were a couple of surprises in unoffical the local vote tallies. State and County Chip Neiman will serve two more years as Crook County's state representative, having run unopposed to retain his seat. A new face will join the Crook County Commission next year, as John D. Davis secures the...
Local officials are concerned that a state land lease has created a dangerous situation near Sundance, where two ranchers now find themselves at loggerheads over grazing rights. When the state purchased a parcel of land in the Moskee area a few years ago, it allowed the grazing lease to pass into new hands. In any other circumstances, this might not have been a problem, but the parcel forms the filling in a sandwich of properties that were previously all owned or leased by the same rancher. For more than 40 years, no fences were necessary....

CHEYENNE — More than a dozen Wyoming schools had received threats of either an active shooter or a bomb on campus as of Monday afternoon, according to the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. Part of a national trend, Wyoming is not unique at this moment, and these threats appear to be “spilling over” from other states, DCI’s Ryan Cox told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. Based on current information, it appears that threats have been made in other states in the past month. Schools and local police departments are responding to threats...
Crook County Library will be offering its first ever movie screening on November 15 and invites the community to enjoy the tale of a Wyoming man who survived capture by the Germans during World War II. “Dear Sirs” is a tribute to the filmmaker’s grandfather, a trona miner by the name of Silvio Pedri from Rock Springs. After Pedri passed away, his grandson found an archive of photos, documents and letters that described his experience of being captured and marched across Germany as a prisoner of war. His capture occurred during a mission in Fr...

To the surprise of few but the relief of many, fire restrictions are now being lightened across the county. Shortly after last week’s snowstorm, Fire Warden Charlie Harrison announced that the county burn ban was to be temporarily suspended until November 5, when a more permanent solution would be decided with the approval of the county commissioners. However, a 120-acre fire took place next to Keyhole State Park on the weekend, which Harrison says was caused by an escaped controlled burn on private land. On Tuesday morning, this led the fire w...
1 Years Ago November 6, 1924 New Haven was the scene of a killing on election day when "Scootem" Bill Osgood fatally stabbed Jimmie Storm during a row over property interests. Both men were stockraisers of that vicinity. They had engaged in a fight some time previously, and on Tuesday they met again for the first time since that trouble. Words led to blows, and during the heat of the fight it is alleged that Osgood pulled a knife. Storm died from the effects of a cut across the throat, and...
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Devils Tower Post #3411 is the recipient of a sizeable donation last week: a third of the proceeds from the delicious treat that has become a hallmark of Burnout Wednesday in Sundance. The Powder River Energy (PRECorp) walking taco booth, as always, was set up on the corner of the courthouse lawn throughout the busiest day of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally this side of the border. It was staffed by volunteers from the cooperative. The booth raised a total of $3600,...
