GUESSED WITHIN FOR DAYS
WHEN THE WAR WOULD END
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec., 20— D.
0. Mackey, prominent sheep-raiser of
the intermountain section, who lives
in Salt I.ake , guessed w’ithin four
days of the time the great war would
end, and as a result he has just de
posited a 4lpot" of $2,900, made up b/
sheepmen of this section in February,
1915.
Twenty-nine sheepmen who vver*
gathered here in February 1915, made
up the “pot” one evening, ea»-h con
tributing $100. The one who guessed
nearest to the date of the end of the
world war was to receive the “pot”.
The $2,900 and the 29 guesses were
placed in an envelope and placed in a
rafe deposit box to await the end of
the war. It was opened several days
after signing of the armistice term.’*
by Germany and Mackey was found to
have been the best guesses, November
15, 1918, being his guess.
The guess pot was an aftermath of
a gathering of sheepmen at Granger,
Wyomng, while the men were there
on winter range. Two Wyoming sheep
-men guessed September 23, 1918 as
the end of the war, while the wife of
Mackey guessed a date in December,
1918.
It’s a good thing to profit by our
i mistakes, but that is really no rea*
ion for making thorn.
