On account Or heavy landsIides no
trims we're able to reach Morgan
town last week from Tuesday until
Saturday evening, but the mails
were brought down ON hand cars.
The road is now in a much better
condition, however, and trains are
running regularly. Speaking Of the
washout the Inder says:
The rains and high waters have
played havoc with the f., VI. r. rail
road tracks. A portion of the track
north Of Opekiska was washed away,
and between Riyesville and Hoult-
town the road bed gave away, rem
dering it very dangerous for any
thing to pass over heavier than a
hand car. In many places along
the line slips covered the rails to a
considerable depth. The train from
Morgantown on Tuesday morning
got as far as Little Falls, where it
encountered large slide which
blocked its passage south, and be
fore it could return to Morgantown a
lot Of dirt and rock came down in
its rear, cutting off escape in that
direction. The passengers, of which
there were several, came here on foot
Tuesday evening. Messrs. Dunlap
and Hunter accompanied relief
train from this place Wednesday
morning, with a force of men, but
returned Wednesday night without
having reached the imprisoned pas
senger train. 1t went down again
yesterday morning and it is thought
that by to-day the track will be put
into a passable condition.

COMPLIMENTARY TO AN OLD UNIVER-
sITY BoY.-Walter III. Michael, a
graduate of the University, class of
'S4, is now principal of the Louis
burg IN. G. High School, and is do
ing first class work. The Times, of
that town, says of him:
Prof Michael came to Louisburg
about two years ago and at once con
nected himself with her educational
interests. He is from West Virginia
and is regular graduate of the Uni
versity of that State. The course of
instruction in his Alma Mater is
like that of the University of old
Virginia, divided into different
schools which are noted for their
broad, deep and thorough instruc-
ton. This thorough system of in
struction made its impression so in
delibly upon Prof. Michaels mind
that he endeavors to carry it out in
every department of his present
school. Thoroughness seems to be
his watchword in the conduct of the
school. The most modern text
books, the newest modes of instruc-
ting boys and girls, with all the
pleasant features of making the
school room attractive to the pupils
are obtained and applied.

Of IS feet. They are now at work on
well for Prof White. Water was
found at depth of 20 feet, but
they will go on down to the mahon-

at 20 or Is feet, where they will
strike soft water-the same that was

are in camp at Pueblo, where they will
be delayed for some days on account Of a
washout on the Santa Fe road, which il
is thought will not be repaired for a couple
of days.
Many persons in the city are wondering
what the whistle belongs to that sounds
like that of a steamboat or caliope. 1t is
the whistle of the new locomotive, No.

Union Pacific between this city and Lara
ME. 1t is destined to draw one of the
new trains when they are put on.

Col. Alexander Chambers, 18th United
States infantry, who recently assumed
command at Fort d. A. Russell, is no
stranger to Wyoming and its people. He
came here first in 1865 as chief of staff Of
Gen. Wheaton then in command Of
Western Nebraska and Wyoming. Sub
sequently he was stationed at Fort Fetter-
man for several years, being the major of
the 22d infantry. While residing at that
place Col. and Mrs. Chambers adopted the
orphan children Of the late Maj. Bu-ke,
three little girls, whom they educated and
reared to womanhood. In course Of time
one of the young ladies' married our well
known fellow citizen, Geo. w. Hoyt, and
has been with us ever since. Another

Union Express company in this city, but

Mrs. I. A. Davies, who has been how
ering between life and death for the last
two weeks, expired about $3.50 a. IN. to-
day. Although her condition was consid-
cred very serious, her family and friends
had strong hopes hat she would yet be
spared them, and when she was taken
away this morning, it was a terrible blow
to all.
Mrs. Davies maiden name was Sidney
Collins, and she was The daughter of Mr..
J. w. Collins, of this city. Her school
life and the greater part Of her married
life were spent in Laramie, though she
resided for a short time with her husband
in Cheyenne.
She was a member of the Cheyenne
Baptist church, a consistent Christian
lady, a model wife and mother, one whose
many virtues it would be useless to attempt
to describe. The deceased was but 80
years Of age, and leaves to the care of the
bereaved husband six children, the young
est a babe about two weeks old.

Mr.. |. Greentree, who has Just returned
from Lusk, reports things in that place as
in a aourishing condition. The sale of
town lots last Thursday ended very salts
torily to all parties concerned. About if
ty Of them were sold at an average of
1925 each which, considering the age o.
the rev town, is an extra good price.
Immediately pom obtaining the bill of
sale Of their lots, some of the purchasers
began to move the lumber for their future
homes, and began to build the next
morning. Work was commenced upon
the store Of l. Greentree v ednesday
morning. Most of these who were loca-
ted on the old TOWNSHIP began to move to
the new one this week, which is about
one and a half miles from the former To-
cation. Daily trains on the Wyoming
Central are running from Uhadron to
Lusk, and everything seems to predict a
bright future fo- that new city.

A Yankton special to the Sioux City
Journal, sent last night, says:
In the republican legislative caucuses
to-day the Smith-Gamble faction were
victorious over the followers of Hugh J..
Campbell. The convention will be held
at Parker ON the 10Th inst, when E. G..
Smith, of this city. will probably be
nominated for the council,
This is the e. G. Smith version Of the
caucus result, the Journal correspondent
at Yankton being the echo of that
gentleman upon matters political. The
people of Yankton will be gratified that
the design OF those who arrange their
political affairs for them is finally un-
covered. So e. G. Smith is to repre-
sent Yankton ID the legislature, is he2
The public might properly have been
consulted in advance of the caucuses,
though it will probably be grateful for
this much information upon matter OF
general concern. We would like to en-
quire if, under this arrangement. Fred
Kincel is to be sold out this year at the
convention or at the polls?

Mr.. MoManima, editor Of the Pierre
Free Press, who enjoyed exceptional
means OF knowing what the Hill bill con-
tained, from its incipienoy, to the ad-
Journment OF congress, says, "The Hlll
division bill has again come up for DIS
cussion in Dakota, and its merits and de-
merits criticised. There however ap-
pears to be misunderstanding as to
some of it's provisions. AS introduced,
the bill contemplated a majority vote il
both north and south Dakota, but MIR.
Hill proposed amending it 80 as to only
require majority in the whole territory
for division. This amendment was made
at the request Of Delegate Clifford, Hon.
M. 81. Day and other prominent Dakota
gentlemen who thought majority of all
the votes cast should settle the ques-
tion." ."--Ruronite.
This is in accordance with popular un.
derstandlng and was accepted as Mr.
Hills proposition. But that gentleman
is quoted as the author of letter to 9
Mitchell gentleman Ia which he an
nounces his favor for vote which shal
show majority on both sides OF tn.
46th parallel. Perhaps it would be vel
for the Mitchell Republican to prin,
this letter, as he wrote it. that the pub
lie may fully understand his views.

A Fatal Discussion,

Bismarck, Oak, Oct. 6-Corono Car
son brings particulars of shooting
scrape eighteen miles southeast OF here
last night, in which Joseph Robinson
aged twenty-four, was killed. Three
men-Robinson. Swede named Andrew
Carlston aud Peter Nelson-left the
CITY together in wagon, all full. Dis
cussion arose as to who was "the best
man." The Swede got out of the wagon
and fred three shots at the other two.
Later Robinson got out and Nelson
drove on. Hearing revolver shots,
Nelson returned and found Robinson
dead with bullet hole through his
breast. The murderer then went to his
house, near by, told his wife and then
skipped to the woods. Neighbors
started in pursuit, and over one hundred
now have the woods surrounded, and it
is expected that he will be caught in
the morning and probably lynched.
Robinson was unmarried. Oarleston
has wife and four children.
