mountain fires.
Activity in building increases with
the cold weather.
Immense quantities of nay are being

arrived in town from Rock creek yes
II. A. Bennett s. Co.'s. sawmil
turns out every week not less than
$4,000 feet of lumber and 80, 600
shingles.
The settlers in upper Sweetwater
county are clamoring for a division of
the same and a separate county allow
ed them.
All the sawmills in the county are
running to their fullest capacity, and
are yet unable to keep up with the un-
precedented demand for lumber.
P~rospectors are getting ready to
spend several months in the noun
tains. Some who will go from
Big Horn will not travel on a ''blind
trail"
Mr.. Pelt, a member of the house Of
of commons, and Lord Nc
Leod, of England, were in town a few
days ago, and are visiting Moreton
Frewen.
A dancing class was organized on
last Saturday evening in Big Horn, and
the lads and lasses of Goose creek an
tipate many pleasant hours during the
long winter evenings.
Down in the southern portion of the
territory the inhabitaut casts his eye
over the hazy horizon and says, ''In-
dian summer is here" Up here in

The third and last beef cattle ship
ment for this years of the. Stoddard
Howard company passed near this
place on Friday last, on their way to
Miles City. The herd numbered 1900
but was reduced here to 1,1000. The
cattle were of mixed grades-three and
four year olds, and were large and fat.
The company have this year shipped tc
market about 2 200 beever, and it is ex.
pected that next year this number will
be almost doubled.
The crops this season in the Tongue
river country have been unprecedently
heavy-the average yield of oats being
about sixty bushels to the acre, and
wheat forty bushels. The farmers in
that section are consequently much en-.
couraged and will next year increase
the number of cultivated acres. Much
of the crop harvested this year has
been in sod ground an d with but little
irrigation. The time is well-nigh al
hand when northern Wyoming will
take her place amongst the grain pro
ducing countries of the world.

Its the same old story, two sharps
and a fiat. Two gentlemanly appear
ing men registered at Dyer's Sunday,
as j.. 7. Gray and T. NJ. Knowlton, of
Denver. Yesterday they boarded an
incoming train and proceeded to enact
an interesting little drama for the
special benefit of II gentleman from
Rock creek. One took the part of a
FUR dealer and the other that of an ex-
press agent. The fur dealer seated
himself by the side of the Rock creek
party, and vas shortly approached by
the pseudo express agent, who inform
ed him that he 'couldn't ship ''that lot
4 furs" unless the express charges,
800, were prepaid. The fur merchant
showed up a thousand dollar bill,
which the agent naturally couldn't
change. He then rendered a check for
$500, which the agent couldn't take be-
cause the rules of the company forbade
it. In compliance with a request from
the very gentlemanly fur dealer the
stranger was induced to advance the
800 and take the check as security, be-
ing additionally comforted by the re-
mark of the fur dealer that he had
plenty Of money in the baggage car.
de also said that If he had the money
he could go right along, but il not that
he would have to stop at Cheyenne.
When the train arrived at this point !,
however, the fur dealer got out and
started away. This aroused one
young mans suspicious, and he started
after the fur dealer, and after a lively
chase, succeeded in collaring him. The
money was returned to him, and the
check taken back, which the two gem
tlemen supposed would end the matter.
Superintendent Duel, however, thought
differently, and had Officer Thomson
arrest the would-be swindlers, who
were taken TO the jail and will appear
for trial to-day. 1t is thought they
came here for the purpose of working
the emigrant trains. The penalty for
their offense is from one to ten years
imprisonment.

DR.. j. H.. Fincrock, one of Wyo-
ming's p~enitentiary commissioners,
who returned from a visit of inspec-
ton to the insane asylum and peniten-
tiary at Lincoln; Neb., this week,
reports as follows regarding the in
mates thereof from this territory:
The insane asylum has sixteen pa

having well. There has not been a
death or a case of serious illness among
these convIcts since their incarcera-
ton. 1t is well known hat these pris-

tract with the Joliet, ILL.,, peniten-
tiary authorities, sends all her convicts
to that institution, where they are
kept without any expense to our people
