This and other correspondence relating to the litigation in the Robbins vs. McDaniel and Way case is loosely accumulated on library shelves at Rocky Mountain National Park. None of this correspondence, as yet, has been adequately catalogued. For the convenience of the reader material relating to this lawsuit will be referred to as "Robbins vs. McDaniel correspondence."

44. Memo, no date, Robbins vs. McDaniel correspondence. Rocky Mountain National Park Library.

49. Telegram of Arno B. Cammerer to L. C. Way, July 24, 1920, Robbins vs. McDaniel correspondence. Rocky Mountain National Park Library. With reference to the authority to prosecute, Cammerer referred Way to section 3 of the National Park Service Act which reads:

that the Secretary of the Interior shall make and publish such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary or proper for the use and management of the parks, monuments, and reservations under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service and any violations authorized by this act shall be punished as provided for in section 50 of the act entitled 'An Act to Modify and Amend the Penal Law of the United States' approved March 4, 1909 as amended by section 6 of the act of June 25, 1910.

52. "Statement by Mrs. John P. Thomey and Mrs. George W. Howell to J. A. Shepherd, Clerk," July 26, 1920, Robbins vs. McDaniel correspondence. Rocky Mountain National Park Library. There is some confusion concerning the identity of the McDaniel in this complaint. The personnel records in Rocky Mountain National Park Library list one ranger McDaniel, not two. Therefore it is possible that Dwight W. McDaniel and Lloyd F. McDaniel were one and the same.
