READY FOR WINTER.
Abundant Grass and Fat Cattle Promise
A Successful Reason.

Water has been unusually plentiful
during the past Spring and Summer in
Wyoming. During the past five years
the rainfall has steadily increased each
year. Last Winter the snow laid deep on
the mountains until Spring. and the
streams were full to OVERLOOKING when the
warm suns melted the snow. The grass
of the year was a phenomenal one All
over the Territory having was carried on
in places which meyer before yielded a
crop Of grass sufficiently luxuriant to war
rant cutting it for hay. The natural re-
suit Of the abundance of grass has been
that cattle waxed fat. Owing to the alb
sence Of early frosis. and further owing
to an unusual number Of showers for
several weeks, the grass remained green
somewhat longer than usual and at one
time it was feared hat it would not
cure early enough, TO the end that
live sock already fat, might become firm
and hardy by eating the cured grass be-
fore cold weather came on.
In the Northern portions Of the Terri
tory light falls ofsnow hav 9 already occur
red, but thus far Winter has persistently
remained away from the Territory and
thus has more than compensated for the
l~ateness Of the Summer and the Summer
rains.
Never during the past five years have
cattle been 50 well prepared for Winter as
they now are. Fat and firm. and with an
unlimited supply Of feed standing for the
ensuing Winter, the live stock of Wyom-
ing will undoubtedly be in excellent con-
dition next Spring. 1t is entirely reason
able TO presume. in consideration of all
Of the circumstances, that the losses dur
ing the coming Winter will be insigni6-
cant. That practical cattiemen are con-
ident of this apparent fact is clearly
shown in the firmness OF the Fall prices
for cattle on the range. No disposition
to escape Winter loss by selling at the
present time is evinced and the assurances
of a successful Winter are thus given a
commercial and a practical endorsement.
Considerable grass has been cut fol the
Winter feeding of trail cattle and Eastern
grades and this class of stock, which is
the least prepared to endure midwinter
hardships will be better cared for than in
previous years.
The live stock interests of the Territory
were never in better condition than they
now are and meyer has a better feeling ex-
listed among Wyoming cattlemen.

sENER,s
Serious Questions Envolyed In His
Abandonment of the Bench.

For the first time in the present term Of
the District Court, the abandonment of
the bench by Justice Sener became the
basis Of a motion to discharge prisoners
from custody, and acted as a pivotal cen
ter for the discussion Of the constitutional
questions evolved in the retirement Of
the late Chief Justice.
The matter came before the Court upon
a motion by William Ware Peck to dis
charge Rogers and Hettinger, indicted for
granddaughter and grand larceny respec-
lively. It was claimed that Justice Sener,
Chief Justice of the Territory and Judge
of the District Court, sitting in and for
this district, was the official Justice until
his successor was appointed and qualified,
and that the appointment of John c..
Perry did not operate to the vacation Of
the bench by Justice Sener, inasmuch as
Mr.. Perry did not come to this Territory
for qualification.
As the law provides that the Justice
shall hold his office for four years, or un-
til his successor qualities, Mr.. Peck
claimed that Justice Sener was the Judi
cial representative until Justice Lacey
qualified. A section of the Wyoming
statutes states that Il prisoner held
for examination by the Grand Jury and
for trial, shall be indicted, if at all, for
the offense charged, at the term Of court
next following the imprisonment, of
the accused. and the counsel
for Rogers and Hettinger claimed
that a term of court passed without such
consideration Of the cases Of the accused,
for which lapse Of a term the government
was responsible, and therefore he moved
that the accused be discharged.
Attention was also called to the neglect
Of the Governor to provide for the hold
ing Of the court and to the presence of
other District Judges in the Territory at
the time the court should have been and
might have been held.
Prosecuting Attorney Baird claimed
that the death of Judge Perry was an in
evitable accident. which could not be
foreseen or provided for, and that the
people and the Territory should suffer no
hardship-by reason Of the discharge Of
accused persons-on account of the death
of Mr.. Perry and the consequent lapse of
a term Of court.
The arguments of the counsel occupied
much of the day. Both of the attorneys
presented rarely clear and eloquent dis
cussions and the Court took the matter
under advisement, assuring the counsel
that an early decision would be rendered.

Hunter, of this place, yesterday, and he

For this he gets no compensation what
ever. 1t is not likely that route agent
will be appointed until next July, when
congress may get around to pass an ap-
preparation to pay one. There are some
millions of dollars now in the u. S.

is low, so the people will have to wait
six months or year until this particu-
lar wrinkle is Strengthened.

More new features have been intro
duced in The Weekly Inter Ocean IN

deoartments, the publishers have added
illustrated biographical sketches OF per-
sons prominently before the public at
date of publication; illustrated articles
on important historical and current
events, or in elucidation of antiquarian
research, or interesting engineering and
mechanical problems; ;cable letters from
London covering the field of EUROPEAN
news for each week: special contribu-
tions devoted to "reminiscences Of army
and political life; and new series OF
articles given up largely to personal
gossip and recolections OF prominent lit
erary people.
The Inter Ocean will remain uncom-
promisingly Republican; will maintain
its present attitude on the question Of
protecting American industries; will
continue to devote special attention to
trade, transportation, and economic
questions; will retain the departments

increased facilities for news-gatherlng
in the shape of special wires to New
