But litue business was transacted in
Judge Fishers court yesterday, owing to
the serious ~indisposihon Of the judge.
james O'Brien, a plan drunk, was given
a trial and found guilty. The usual fine
Of SO was assessed, and as it could not be
paid. the prisoner was sent out to do
work for the city on the streets.
George Waggoner was before Judge Lee
yesterday upon a charge of being found in
a state of intoxication. He was fined $40
which he promptly paid
Dave Calvin, for being drunk and
creating a disturbance, was before Judge
Lee yesterday. He admitted the charge
and was assessed a fine of $40 for the
sport he had INDUCED in. The fine was

William Blake, james Hamilton and
f. A. Chester were marched into the

charge of having been found in a state of
intoxication, and for a breach of the
peace. They we're each fined $40.
The officers are at present giving some
attention to the Migrants that infest the

it interesting for this class of humanity in
a short time.

In speaking of Mornings resources,
one of the correspondents of an Omaha
papers says: "At present the Rock
Springs mines, which appear to be the
center of the belt, are turning out over
$4,000 carloads of coal yearly, equal to a
train over 300 miles long, reaching from
North Platte to Omaha. The coal is I'M
doubtedly the best bituminous fuel in the
world. 1t is clean to handle, ignites
easily, and has double the steam or heat
making power of Pennsylvania coal. BIZ
luminous coal is also found at Twin
creek, on the Oregon Short Line, but it
is not as good as the Rock Springs ar
ticle. 1t makes steam well, but has the
unpleasant properties of falling to pieces
and igniting spontaneously when exposed
TO the air.'i1

In speaking of Sim Wan, the noted
criminal, the Rawlins Tribune says,
Sheriff Rankin is in receipt of the photo
graph ola man who is temporarily So
iouming in a Montana Jail, and is of the
opinion that the notorious Sim Wan has
at last been captured. Messrs. j. G.
Davis, Ed Ordway and others, who have
seen Sim Wan, express the belief that the
photograph is his. Wan was a member
of the band Of murderers aud train rob
bers who Aourishcd in this section in 1878,
and who assassinated Widdowfeld and
Vincent, near Elk mountain. 1t is known
that all but two of this gang met with
violent deaths-have either been shot or
hung by judge lynch or the law-and
these two are Reed and Wan. A reward
of 81, 900 still stands for the capture and
conviction Of either-$l,O 900 from the
county and 81, 200 from the railroad com
pany. The sheriff will probably take a
trip up that way shortly, accompanied by
some one who will be able to positively
identify Wan in case he is really the man
held there.

would win the fight at Rawlins Monday
night.
LAWN is a good man, and has nerve,

A NEW CONTRACT.
The ArtesIan wen to be sunk to a Great
Depth.

The county commissioners have ex-
tended the contract with Swan Bros. to
continue the work on the a~rtesian well.
The original contract was for the expend-
ing of but 50, 500, but considerable in ex-
cess of that amount has already been ex-
pended.
A new contract has been let with the
present contractors to continue the boring
to a depth of 1000 feet. unless a flow Of
water is sooner obtained. The additional
cost oc%casioned by the new contract will
be $1,000. The indications are favorable
for a flow Of water, and it will undoubt-
eddy be obtained at a less depth than
1000 feet.
The piping has been completed to bed
rock, a depth of $50 feet. From this
depth Down no more casing will be
needed, rnd the expense connected there
with will not be as great as heretofore.
