An interesting Letier By Live Correspondent

TO the Editor of The Leader:
While all the balance of the world
seem to be ~sweltering and suffering in
the intense heat of the present summer,
those Of US who are fortunately sojourn-
ing in Wyoming are enjoying the cool,
balmy air of July for which this climate
is noteworthy; and the question at once
suggests itself why there are not more
people come here for their usual sum-
mer vacation Or rest from business.
Most Of the fashionable summer resorts
are crowded with visitors at this season
of the year and the heat which these
visitors desire to get away from is
but little less intense than in large cit
les, while by coming to Wyoming for a
month or two the most pleasant and in
MIGRATING climate that it is possible to
conceive of could be enjoyed, besides be-
ing out Of the whirl Of fashion and ex-
element. and favored with natural
scenery, the grandeur of which must be
seen to be appreciated. II some Of our
enterprising citizens would only give
this matter some attention, it would
Don be made to add much to the ma
terial prosperity Of our young Terrific
ry, both by direct increase of business
and in bringing the advantages of the
country before the world, thereby
drawing emigration and settling the
sparsely populated country. At present
Rawlins is favored with about rs many
strangers as the hotels can find room
for, but we ought to have room for al
who desire to come, and then with a
little effort there would he hundreds of
visitors to every town in the Territory
for the entire summer.
A PLEASURE PARTY.
Texas Jack, the popular scout and
guide, arrived here last week with a
party Of gentlemen who, under his
guidance, will take in" the country
north and south of Rawlins and spend
their time in hunting and fishing, of
which there is plenty in all directions
for as many as may come. There are
now several parties out south from here
fishing.
A SOLID MAN.
VIM. Hawley arrived home last Tues
day with a large herd of cattle for his
frm-Jones g. Hawley-which he has
brought from the West for their ranch
on Pass creek, in this county. Nj.
Hawley was formerly sheriff of this
county, is a thorough going business
man, understands cattle, is honorable
and upright in dealing, and has now a
good start in the business with which
1t will be but a few years till we shall
look up to him as one Of the solid men
of our Territory.
FUTILE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
On Wednesday last a woman, whose
name l could not learn but who is a
stranger here, attempted to commit SUI
icide by taking chloroform on the plat
form in front of the railroad depot.
She was discovered before getting
enough to cause death and taken charge
of by ]. B. Adams, Esq, who, in his
usual energetic and practical common
sense way, applied the proper treat
ment to neutralize the effects of the
drug, after which he and Hon. James
France, chairman of the board of
county commissioners, procured aid and
conveyed her to aplace where she would
be taken care Of, and in a short time
the woman came to all right. 1t seems
from report that the WON an has been
around town for several days in a desti.
tute condition, and some doubt her san.
ity, while others from her talk think
she is laboring under some great trou-
BILE.
SAD ACCIDENT.
A man named Thomas Forester was
killed this morning on the U. P. r. f.,
by being run ever, about two miles
west of Summit station, in this county.
The man has no friends here, but
worked some time ago in the brickyard
with Mr.. Geo. Schlosser, and was seen
last evening at the railroad depot.
Judge M. E. Hooker, in the absence of
Coroner Snow, held an inquest and
from the evidence it would seem that
Forester left Rawlins on a brake beam
on train No 3, which left here at 1915
u. M, and fell off and was run over, in
juring him SO that he could not get off
the track at the place stated. That
shortly after this q freight train coming
down in the dark ran over him again.
Conductor Foreman brought the body
into town.
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
NJ. E. Hooker 6 Co., druggists, have
Icommenced the erection of a large two
story building in which they will have
a store room 24x40 feet, and into
which they will move their stock of
goods as Don as completed. The new
stand will be opposite Rankin's livery
stable and adjoining the lots of James
France. There are some three or four
new dwelling houses going up in Raw
Inns, which shows that If times are. dull
and our town quite small, We are NOV
ing forward. gAH.
A GOOD AGENT.
Business appears to be satisfactory to
parties concerned. Mr.. Meeker, Indi-
agent at White river, has been get
ting his goods forwarded and has just
