Conflicting Opinions as to the Abandon-
ment of h Town.

Assessor Fred +. Hee and ex-Assessor
Jens Hansen, both prominent citizens Of
Carbon county and residents of the town
of Carbon. spent Sunday and yesterday in
the capital.
These gentlemen discredit all rumors of
the abandonment of the coal camp and
declare that they doubt very much if Su-
p,rintendent Cumming so stated to the
commissioners of Carbon county. The
mines, they say. are. productive as ever
and the quality of the output unchanged.
The loss to the company. in the event of
abandonment, would be enormous. Min
ing has been conducted here for years and
the cost Of the operating plant, which was
heavy originally, has constantly increased.
The timbering of mines alone necessitated
an outlay of thousands upon thousands of
dollars.
Messrs. Hee and Hansen stated that
the Carbon buildings recently destroyed
by fire are to be replaced at once, con-
tracts for several having already been
made. Mr.. Hansen himself has made
arrangements for the construction of a
residence.
Chief Clerk Henderson of S~upe.intend-
ent Cummings Office yesterday said that
lie knew nothing whatever of the matter.
MIR. Cumming will return from the West
to day or tomorrow and will probably give
a statement of the facts in the case.
An official who is generally on the in
side told a reportcr'that the abandonment
of the town was a certainty. but hat it
would be delayed for some time. cit is
well known" he said, that for months
tine coal output has been unsatisfactory
both as to quantity and quality. Then by
forsaking Carbon and changing the line
she menaoing Percy hill will be avoided.
Of course the company will sacrifice a
great deal. but the nov will be econom
ical in the long run"

Leaves MIR. Beckwith.

VIM. Wyandt, the trainer whose
mastery handling OF Wanita and Ollie
has elected praise throughout the West.
has left the Beckwith stables, and passed
through the city last evening en- route to
Denver, where he has accepted a lucrative
position as trainer.
Mr.. Wyandt will have considerable ex-
perience before he again becomes the GUS
todian of such a pair as Wan;.a and
Ollie. However, he has the consolation
of knowing that he made" both. In
parting with Billy Mr.. Beckwith loses a
thoroughly reliable man who under
sands his business"

A CHASTITY FIND.
Mutilated Remains of a Man Dis
covered Near Rock Springs.
Identity of the Unfortunate a Ter
ribIe Mystery.
The Dec0mposed Remains a Most
Revolving Sight.

At the end of last week when Mr.
Lumin came in from his ranch he reported
that be found while riding over the coun-
try two hands and the head of a human
being. He gave specific directions as to
the locality to Coroner Treasure, who in
company with Assessor William Patter-
son, started out for the place on Tuesday
morning. They returned yesterday after
noon with the news that they found the
hands and head as reported by Mr. Lu-
man. and IN addition the body and feet
of the dead man. Beside the body was a
new Winchester rifle, somewhat rusted,
and around the canvas coat which he
wore was a leather belt with cartridges in
it The rife was, not loaded. nor was
there a cartridge in the magazine, but tie
hammer was up. The body was
very much decomposed, most of
the bones beng completely
bare, the legs being disiointed. and the
feet, hands aud head all separated from
the main trunk. On the feet were over
shoes, and his legs were incased in a pair
of canvas o~veralls of the same material as
his coat, and inside of them was a pair of
blue overalls, One foot was dragged inte
a badger hole, and the hands and skull
were at least 100 yards from the body,
which looked as if wild beasts had torn it
to pieces. They found a bullet hole in his
o~veralls, ranging upwards from the thigh,
which encourages the belief that the de-
ceased met with foul play. The hole
shows he was shot from behind. A mys-
terry surrounds the death of this man
whoever he is. No papers nor anything
leading to his Identification were found on
him. Messrs. Treasure and Patterson
brought the rifle and cartridge belt to
town with them. The body was found at
the mouth of Cedar canyon, about thirty
five miles north of Rock Springs and
about nine miles from the Rock cabin.

The Contest i'm Carbon.

The project to contest the recent Carbon
election has practically been abandoned.
That the remarkable Carbon vote was
almost wholly fraudulent is morally GER
tain, but to establish the fact in court
would be most difficult. 1t would be nee,
essary to make a clear case against each
illegal voter. This would take months,
and on account of the peculiar circum
stances would in many instances be sim

How many years have You livsdl Has
God been very good to you, leading you day
by day, protecting you by night leading
you in green pastures and beside still waters;

helping you over all obstacles; because the
