Avcrill, postmaster at Sweetwater,
Wyo., and his wife, the notorious female
cattle thief, Kate Maxwell, were lynched
last evening for cattle-stealing. James
Averill was one of the most
notorious cattle-thieyes in the
territory. His ranch was head

cattle Tustlers. His plan of stealing was
to put his brand on calves and kill the
cows. lis wife was equally notorious.
She has been seen killing cattle on the

sixty calves in his pasture which he had

END OF LONG LITIGATION.
Where the Title to tho Patent on steel Car
Wheels BaIours


WAsHINGToN, d. c., July 22.-The
commissioner of patents has decided
on final appeal a well-fought contro-
versy, invo wing the exclusive right I'M
der letters patent, in and TO rolled cast
steel car Wheels as well as
the manufacture thereof The act
ual parties 10 the controversy are the
Fowler Cast Steel Car Wheel Company,
OF Chicago, and the Pittsburg Steel
Casting Company, of Pittsburg. The
proofs showed that long time after the
Fowler steel car wheels had been pub
licly produced in Pittsburg, by meal 5
of a hundred-ton machine, which had
been built in that city under Mr.. Fow.
ler's direction for his company, the
Pittsburg Steel Casting Company COM
menced producing car wheels
of substantially similar char
acter, and by the methods secured
under the Fowler patents. The Pitts
burg Company has subsequently become
the assignee of Clifton B. Beach, Of
Cleveland, O., who had long before re-
ceived certain letters patent pertaining
to car wheels of a different type, and
who had after assignment fled an appli-
cation Tor patent, prOtessedly based up
on a prior application of his, which for
years had been dead and abandoned
application under the law. This contest
was then inaugurated in the patent
office by the Pittsburg Steel casting
Company. When their proofs We're
presented it appeared that Beach had
done nothing more toward advancing
the art than TO make rough crude
sketches and write out his ideas about
two years before patentee Fowler's first
conceptions. The commissioner de-
cided IN favor of Fowler the patentee,
thereby affirming the decision o. The
