kendall and Adams were sent down to the
executive mansion to inquire if Governor
Moonlight had any more business with
the house. When the committee re-
ported Tom Hooper moved n vote OF
thanks to the Almighty for the safe re-
turn of his fellow lawmakers. OF course
it was unanimously adopted but on ad-
vice of Speaker Pease Maj. Glafcke failed
to note the procedure on the journal.
BaS- A. L. Sutherland, of Sherman, is
a shrewd, conscientious Yankee, who was
a member OF the Albany county delega-
ton in the famous Eleventh assembly.
Sutherland's constituents importuned
him to stand again last fall. He refused
in this explanation "Pdlike to go down
there and make laws. but they don't en-
act statutes in the Legislative halls. Bills
are passed down town about midnight and
ratified next day and unless a representa-
tive is in with the right people his vote
mounts to nothing"
A2 CuulluGIo, VI Slukd, was Int uu-
tanned Jay of the last legislature. His
first assertion in opposition to a bill was
that it was upright, wrong and not
just between man and man an l
detest agin SIGH legislature, Mr.. Speak
err" Summers introduced once what he
called a sheep bill. In support of his
pet he said: Il know this law will be no
good an is unconstitutional, Mr.. Speaker,
but up in our county we wan some
thing to bluff out them Mormon sheep
herders with"
r3s-W. Z. Skinner, the Street stable
car man who is experimenting the con-
struction of a watering tank here, re-
ceived a carload of lumber one day last
week and borrowed a gang OF Union Pa
clfc section men to handle it When
Chief Clerk Henderson returned from
lunch he found this note from Skinner on
his desk: Those are great section hands
you have loaned me. When the whistle
blew one of them said: Lave the

E6s-Toward the close of the Republican
convention Wednesday the conference
committee was discharged with a vote of
thanks. Gen. Fisher, who was chairman
and who had done about ten miles heel
and toe, said he didn't care for thanks,
but the discharge was the most accept
able thing he had ever received in the
political line.
Ra5~Gen. Thompson says he never
heard of United States Marshal Carr
getting ratified but once and her he was
on the inside About 2 O'Clock
one morning during the last cam
paign they met at Sherman,
the general enroute west and Mr..
Carr homeward bound. Said the officer
to the orator: Yesterday morning Parker
the fellow who robbed Paymaster Bash,
attempted to escape, and by way of disci-
pline | had him stood on his head in a
dark cell. | intended to release him in
half an hour or so, but | hope to die if |
didn't forget all about it, and the poor
cuss is there yet. Now when you get to
Laramie have someone rush over to the
penitentiary and tell the warden to rescue
Parker" The general sent a hotel por-
ter to the prison at 4 o'clock, but no one
could be awakened and Parker stood on
his head until 9 O'Clock.
Ba~ Mr.. Carr has had his hands full
several times, but he always comes out
unscathed. When he was sheriff here
Road Agent Dunk Blackburn, a little
burglar and a burly sneak thief pounced
on him in the corridor and made a fight
for the keys. The burglar had a revolver
but instead of shooting as Blackburn
commanded, skipped through the open
door. Mr.. Carr downed the road agent
and the sneak thief and soon recovered
the burglar, whom John Bruner had
chased to cover in a vacant house. A
cook who had been supplied with a six
shooter for emergencies fell on his knees
and commended praying when called upon
to Join in the f%ree-for-all. The United
States marshal has narrowly escaped death
at the hands of the desperate prisoners
several times.

Of the half hundred officers in the heart

Bas-The wrestling match at Laramie
July 8 will be quite an athletic event,
Cockney was taught the art by Joe Actor
and Collins trained that agile bunch o.
muscle for his last match. Cockney ha.
great strength, good wind, is patient anG
educated to all tricks of the art. The
writer knows nothing of Collins anC
doesn't care to give a tip, but rather
thinks the Cheyenne man should win i
