TALKED N
4 Wyoming Man Tells OF the Terri
torN's on Fields.

Hon. F. S. Lusk, Of Lusk, talking ,c a
party of friends at the Auditorium hotel,
Chicago, said The fact that Wyoming
is soon to be admitted to the Union has
attracted favorable attention to the terri
tory. One Of the most important re-
sources OF the country is the immense oil
deposits now being opened up. Work in
the Salt Greek and Powder River basins
show heNdeposits to cover an area more
than double the entire Pennsylvania
fields, and the product to be richer than
that OF any other oil region known. And
that is only one district. Five wells have
beer sunk In the Powder River basin to
depths ranging from 100 to 500 feet and
they give a flow of from 300 to 800 bar
rels every twenty four hours In this
district the wells have only been pu to
the first sands. Where the boring has
been continued to the second strata the
How proves to be UNNECESSARILY greater
and the quality superior. Nearly all the
wells in this district have been stopped
awaiting the arrival of railroad facilities
for sending the product to market. The
importance of these oil fields has Just
begun to be appreciated. They were so
remote from any market that their value
could hardly be estimated But now large
companies with unlimited capital have
organized, and the investment will pay
richly"

A most appalling sound was heard In
tbs nursery, and the astonished father,
with his hair on end, ran to see what
was the matter. He opened the door
and looked in. Willie was sitting astrids
his drum, kicking it with both feet.
Johnny was twisting the cats tail and
bringing forth bowls Of dire agony.
Tommy was whirling a rattle, Bobby
Stapleford, a neighbor's boy, was super
intending a fight between two vociferous
dogs. Harry Plugmore, another visitor,
was jumping up and down on an empty
barrel, half a dozen other casual young
sters were pounding tin pans, and all
were yelling at the tops of their voices.
What is the meaning of this unearthly
racket demanded the father as soon as
he could make himself heard above the
din.

trade" replied Willie. "Fellers, let 'er
go once morei"
And pandemonium broke loose again.

jim, THE KID.
The Champion Rider Is Back in
America Once More

Jim the Kid (James WIlloughby), Of
Cheyenne, writes the city editor OF The
LEADER from Castleton Corners, Staten
Island, New FORK. He says:
Friend Ed have quit Col. Cody's
show and am in the horse business here
with George Beach. who was chief OF
stables for the Wild West. We break
horses to saddle and harness, curing them
OF bad habits. Some pretty bad cases are
brought to us, but we generally succeed
in bringing them around.
Beach and myself left the Cody show
for several reasons. The things sort OF
playing out. II is over there among a
lot OF hobos who never spend more thar
twenty cents a day. and don't know good
riding from jay galloping. The way the
Europeans outside of Paris act is enough
to make a mans lungs bleed. Tell my
Cheyenne friends that 1 am doing pretty
well and expect to make a visit to the old
stamping ground this fall. It's fright.

killing him."

The wishes Of a curious character,
who vas named Hi1kington, better
known a Squire Hawley, were fully
carried out a few years ago at a place
near Doncaster. He was buried in his
own garden, amid the graves of his dead
cattle, which had been stricken down by
rinderpest. He was laid out in full
hunting costume, including spurs and
whip, and was placed in a stone coffin
weighing upwards of a ton, which had
to be lowered into the grave by means
of n crane. His old pony was shot and
hurled at his feet, and at his head was
hid the bodies of his favorite dog and
an old fox. All his property was left to
his groom on condition that these fu-
neral observances were fully carried out;
in default the estate was to go to the
priest of Doncaster for tho benefit of the
Roman Catholic church. The groom,
however, did not suffer the bequest to
himself to lapse.-Cassell's Journal

William Savage, an old time resident of
the territory, reports the discovery OF a
petri fed man in the mountains at the
head of Jack creek. The find, he tells
the Rawlins Journal. is located about fifty
miles south of that city and has every ap-
pearance of being the petri6ed remains Of
a man about seven and a halt feet in
height, and of proportionate build. 1t is
imbedded in solid rock aud it will be some
time before 1t can be cut out and brought
to the city. Mr.. Savage brought with
him what is suppoied TO be the brain,
which is now on exhibition at Chatter
tons drug store. The strange find will be
unearthed at once ana brought to Rawlins
after which it will be shipped to the east
where considerable interest is already be-
ing taken in it.

TO EIGHT UOI RS.
Reduction OF Expenses Mad In the
Machinery Department..

Machinery Department.
Vice President Halcombe's latest order
OF note is to reduce the expenses of the
motive and mechanical department 25 per
cent This spasm of retrenchment is Of
annual occurrence and usually directed at
the shop forces, so there is nothing to get
excited about. 1t started in April last
year and ended with August.
Atthis place Superintendent Munro has
put the men On eight hours for five days
and five hours for Saturday, aud a few
men, probably not to exceed a dozen, will
be released.
Mr.. Holcombe declares that the order
for reduction is in no sense extraordinary;
that it was issued solely in the interests of
the company, and is only a REPETITION of
what has been done uea-ly every summer.
1t will continue in force until such time as
it becomes necessary to increase the
forces again. The increase always takes
place in the fall and winter months when
traffic Crews heavy aud the road is
crowded with freight cars
A good many of the men here don't
like the order. but the majority accept it
with good grace. There is lots of work on
hand here, and several machinists SAID yes
terday that they we're unable to see how it
could be handled with the reduced hours.

A SPLENDID BALL GAME.
Sundays Contest Was the Best
Ever Seen Here.
Sharp, Stubborn Fight for Thirteen
Innings.
Called a Draw, But a Victory for
the CapitoIs.

One OF the finest exhibitions OF ball
playing ever witnessed in Wyoming de-
lighted a large crowd at the fair grounds
Sunday. The Sandens of Denver and
Capitols of this place battled for thirteen
innings. At this stage it was about dark
and a wranRle ensued which resulted in
the visiting club Withdrawing from the
field. By agreement the contest was de-
clared a draw, with score four to four.
According to rules it was a victory for the
local club by nine to nothing.
It was a pretty and determined fight
from go to finish. So sharp was the
work of either side throughout the des
perate struggle that features were prac-
tlcally eliminated, though the splendid
work OF some of the players could not be
overlooked by the veriest tyro. Mann
was at his best, and besides striking out
fourteen Sandens, folded his position
perfectly, making four put outs, assisting
three times and accepting every chance
offered. He was brilliantly received BY
young Blanford. ALI the cheyenne boys
did remarkably well. Willoughby, who
was the hoodoo of the Capitols last year,
secured eight strike outs Sunday This
shows about the only weakness of the
local club, as Willoughby is Frequently
hit hard at home.
Sundays audience was pretty cold to
the home team for some reason or other.
Msnn's mastery work when he struck out
three men with the bases full was scarcely
noticed. while Willoushby had the crowd
rampant with inferior pitching.
Marshall's umpiring was scarcely salts
factory, though no one questioned his
good intentions. When Murray made a
slide home in one of the late innings he
was safe. but was sent to the bench with a
goose egg to his credit. 1t was Cheyeupe,s
game right there. At another time i,
