The final meeting of the executive
committee of the Johnstown Relief Fund
was held at the mayors Office this morn
ing. There were present Mayor Harring-
ton and Messrs. George w. Todd, Henry
G. Robinson, William Lawton and Ed.
ward Belts.
The sub committee that visited Johns

held conferences with the Johnstown
Committee of citizens and with the state
commission. 1t was the universal desire
of the people that the funds for their
relief be put in their own hands and not
distributed through the state commission.
The commission and committee of the
people had come to an agreement and were
working together. All of the Wilmington
funds have been placed in the hands of the
people direct. The people appear to feel
that through this action the funds from
this city have done more good than any
OF the other contributions. The com
mittee took with them 81, 900 in cash and
$4,000 in checks. The latter and 800
in cash were handed over to Mr.. McMil-
lin, chairman of the Johnstown commit
tee. The amount of $500 in cash given
to the Children's Aid Society and 800 in
cash to the Red Cross Society.
Treasurer II. Q. Robinson stated that
there remained of the fund $4 126.01.
On recommendation of the sub-commit-
tee that visited Johnston last week. this
amount was appropriated as follows
For further purchase of women's and
children's clothing, to be purchased by
ladies in this city from list to be sent
by Mrs Joseph Morgan, Jr, $500. The
clothing will be sent to Mrs. Morgan,
who distributed $500 worth before. Mrs.
Morgan is occupying her large residence
ON the hillside and has filed it with
homeless people. For the children's aid,
which is in charge of Johnstown ladies
headed by Mrs. Hinckley, and is taking
care Of number of babies born since the
foood, 800,
A communication was received from
F. s. Demming Of this city asking relief
for Mrs and Miss Harris, who were tenn.
porarily at Atlantic City, recovering

also sent a photograph of 12-year- old
Joseph Dixon, whose father was lest by
the flood and whose mother was injured
He was enabled to start news stand by
General Hastings and was trying to
support family of several persons. An
appropriation of $25 was made for him,
to be placed in Mrs. Morgan's hands. Mr..
Robinson was directed TO place the bal
ance of the fund amounting to SO, 351 OF
in the hands of the Johnstown citizens

The mayor was requested to obtain

The Eighth Wonder of the World"
may be correctly designated as the Vel
lowstone park, which lies IN the north
west corner of Wyoming, and covers an
area of 5000 square miles. Already the
Yellowstone park attracts its thousands
of visitors annually. Although the rigor-
u winters of its altitude exclude great
crowds of would-be tourists during the
greater part OF the year, excursionists are
not wanting, even III January, who es-
pecially delight to behold its marvels
when wrapped in their nantes of snow.
But it is in midsummer or early autumn
that the park can be seen at its best.

A GOOD CATCH.
The Thieying hebraskans Captured
by VIM. Lykins.
They Had lust Stolen Twenty-six
Wyoming Steers.
Ridiculous Legal Battle for the
Two Prisoners.

When Prosecuting Attorney StolI and
Sheriff Martin reached Harrisburg, Neb.
where they were summoned BY Billy:Ly-
kins. who had trailed a pair of. cattle
thieves to that place. they found a re-
markable state of affairs. Lykens had
run to earth two desperate wholesale
thieves who have been robbing Wyoming
ranchmen outragously, having stolen
twenty six head of cattle on their last raid
and no one knows how many on previous
invasions. but doubtless a large number.
Eighteen head of the stolen steers were
recovered and John Borchwingle and N.
A. (Doc) Hake. two of the guilty men ar
rested. The cattle, the property of half
a dozen different firms and individuals,
were returned to Wyoming and will be
restored to the owners.
Borchwiugle and Hake were willing to
accompany Lykins without a requisition,
butlwere dissuaded from this purpose by
the o~ficious Judge and attorney of the
district in which Banner county is located.
Lykins then made complaint under the
laws of Nebraska. This was Friday and
he was given until Saturday afternoon to
secure evidence against the prisoners, who
by the way, were ironed and in charge OF
Billy, as the county has no Jail. At this
stage Lykins telegraphed for Stoll and
Martin, who FASTENED to his rescue.
After a preliminary skirmish in which
the Judge refused to allow Withdrawal of
Lykins' charge and substitution of an ex-
traditable complaint there was a hearing
unparalleled in the annals of modern iur-
isprudence. The Nebraska lawyers called
each other by their first names and bull
dozed the Judge frightfully, the spectators
offering suggestions when so inclined. In
self defense the Wyoming men were COM
PEELED to accept the conditions of the free
for-ail and went in to win.
The learned Judge made a decision
which no one understood. He cited the
nineteen hundred and fortieth Bagdad,
the ten hundred and twelfth Indiana and
the eight thousand and fourth Honolulu
and gravely announced that Stoll and
Martin and Lykins were off the reserva-
ton.
Wyoming's representatives held a
council of war and decided to take the
prisoners to Sidney and hold them there
until a requisition could be secured. Borch-
wingle and Hakc bucked a little but they
were lodged in the Sidney Jail Saturday
night. Mr.. Stoll made arrangements for
the requisltion yesterday and Sheriff
Martin is in Lincoln, Neb., awaiting the
document.
Those Nebraska buffers will learn to
respect Wyoming.
