Since four of the older Western states
have decided to pool issues on the con-
struction of a building at the worlds fair,
it is suggested that Wyoming unite with
several of our neighboring sisters for a
similar purpose. We have s3o, 900 to
spend, and the commission estimate that
81. 900 of the mount will be required to
put up a building. The structure would
OF necessity be a small one and a meagsr
allowance for the expense of making ex-
hibits would be left. The CHEYENNE
LEADER suggests a JOINT exhibition bald
ing as being more economical for each
state and more slightly. and it strikes us
as being a capital idea.

Tom Murray,s Lucky Guess.

T. c. Murray was feeling pretty good
yesterday. A long time ago the Denver
NetrS offered a series of prizes for the
closest guess OF Denyer's population as
shown by the United States census. MI.
Murray, although a Republican, is great
adroirer and regular reader of the Neus.
He sent in altogether about thirty cou-
pons, but bad no idea of winning a prize.
1t will be remembered that there was a
good deal of trouble over the official CEN
sus in Denver (as well as many other
ciues), and 1t took a very long time to Sc
cure the exact official figures. In the
meantime Mr.. Murray had forgotten all
about the matter. Strange to say, the
very paper announcing his good luck was
the only one be missed reading in months.
However, he was nevertheless gratified to
learn of his luck IN a roundabout way.
He captured second prize, 800. As an
by the census bureau, Denver's
population IS 1882. The first prize
was awarded to a man who guessed 49,
ISL. Murray's guess was lis, 1888. This
will probably not influence
Murray's politics, but it certainly increases
his regard for a favorite newspaper.

Rawlins base bali Mines will play a match
game at the fair grounds one week from
next Sunday for a $75 purse.
The concrete work on the city dam will

of putting in additional galleries, but as
the water supply is sufficient this season
the work will probably be postponed.

A Casper, Wyo., special to the Denver
Neios dated July Is says: A very rich
find of galena was struch in the Casper
mountain, twelve miles from here yester-
day. Many miners are in the camp, and
arriving every day. A few months ago
Jack Currier, an old Black Hills miner,
and prospector, discovered a rich lead in
this same district, which assayed $500 in
silver, and % per cent lead. Since then
much prospecting has been done and
Yesterday Chris Bayze opened up a vein
which is immensely rich in silver and
lead. Much excitement prevails and
many miners are coming here from the
Black Hills, and points in Dakota and
Montana. The Casper mountain has
never been prospected until this summer,
but valuable deposits of g%alena, copper.
and asbestos are now being opened, and a
lively time is expected at Casper this fall.

GONE OVER THE HILL.
Laramie County's First Convicts in
the State Penitentiary.
Four Men Who Have Been Convicted
of Minor 0ffsnses.
Several More Who are Awaiting
Further Legal Action.

The fist c%onvicts sentenced to serve
their term in Wyoming's new state peni-
tertiary were delivered Yesterday to the
contractor, j. Marchs, by Deputy Sheriffs
Sharpless and Kelley. They were Bates,
the forger; Embree. the sneak thief, and
Rogers and Allen, the car robbers, all of
whom were convicted at the last term of
court. The men were ironed in pairs,
Bates and Embree, and Rogers end Al
len, and were taken away yesterday as the
limit eff the time they could be kept here
had expired. They would have been
moved sooner only that Deputy Sharpless
has been expecting Sheriff Kelley to re.
turn every day, and thought it would be
better for him to attend to the matter.
The prisoners did not like leaving the
Jail. as they rave been c%herishing hopes
that by some means they could escape
their long term sentences and bid good
bye to their Jail mates with reluctance in
husky voices. They had but few remarks
to make to the officers, only protesting
that for the crime they had committed
their sentences were rather heavy. Bates
thought it very strange that a man
should be sentenced to four years at hard
labor for stealing $50, while an accused
murderer was allowed to escape.
Embree, as soon as he saw the prison
officials, commenced to tell them about
him being an old colder, but his talk did
- -,,al aT,ot
Mr.. Marsh seems to be a new hand at
the business and was a bit ratified while
the transfer was being made. He signed
the receipts for the c~onvicts and then
showed by his manner that the sooner the
Larime county officers left the better he
would feel.
Rogers and Allen are smooth and ex-
perienced Jail birds, and Sharpless wanted
any tools or anything of the kind con-
cealed about them he would know it be-
fore he left and for thai reason volun-
teercd to assist the convicts in putting on
their iull-dress uniforms. As his assist
suce was declined, he withdrew. The
prisoners received yesterday were the
first who rave entered the penitentiary
that belong to the state, and it looks at
present as though it would be quite a
long time before the inmates would reach
the figure so, at which point, according
to the contract, the price of keeping them
per dav will be reduced.
Kingen and Mckinney, the Nebraska
cattle thieves, have been convicted and
sentenced, but their case still hangs fire.
Miller and Parkison are both ft sub
iects for the pen, but their legal fights
for liberty will probably hang IN a while
longer and the -four taken over yesterday
will bear Tor quite a time the distinction
OF being the only representatives of Lar
annie county.

Dan Mitchell, the city marshal OF
Buffalo, reached the city yesterday, hay

Fowler is an old man and a very good
carpenter, but is a hard drinker and at
times becomes crazy. He works steadily
for a time until he secures a few hundred
dollars and then lays off for a big de-
bauch. His DRINKS lately have been

A Narrow Escape.

Ex-Governor Baxter had a narrow es-
cape from losing his team and baggage
while crossing Powder river on Tuesday.
The water was very high and the current
rapid. When in the middle of the stream
one of the horses got into the quicEsand
and went down on his side IN the river.
Fortunately r. II. Parker of the
Murphy Cattle company came along and
with his aid Governor Baxter was able to
reach the bank without losing any OF his
effects and no damage, except a d~renching
in the muddy waters of the stream.
The Buffalo Echo, which contained de-
tails of the mishap, says:
Governor Baxter left yesterday for the
West, reporting the range to be ahead of
anything in tie way of grass that he had
seen for years and cattle. looking finer
than silk.

The excursion had ffty-one members, all
of whom were most Hospitality received by
the Douglas people, and consequently
they are we'll pleased with the town.
The rallraad company provided the best

The Denver Sun gives the following
favorable notice of the play Men and
Women which will be presented at the
opera house on the 81: 1T is safe to say
that Charles Frohman's stock company
from New York, which begins a weeks
engagement next Monday evening at the
Tabor Grand, will prove itself to be one
of the strongest ORGANIZATIONS which has
ever visited this city. Its roster COM
prises the names Of twenty six players,
most of whom are well known to theatre

Women, which they presented in New
York city for nearly $50 nights. The
play is by De Mile and Belasco. authors

Twenty miners of the Gold Hill camp
turned out this week to work the road be-
tween there and Headquarters. The
road is stony in places and needed fixing.
Lutte and Poutre's Laramie claim at
Gold Hill has been bonded for $50, 900
for nineteen days to Laramie people. A
forfeit OF 81 900 was put up. The Lar
annie has been partially opened up by a
tunnel sixty feet long.
Over a year ago Jack Kurtz made a
vow not to shave until the vein was struck
in the Grand Encanpment tunnel. He
celebrated the event which all have been
anxiously waiting for by discarding part
of his luxuriant growth of whiskers.
Sam Woods has moved his saw mill
from Woods Landing on the Big Lar
annie river and set it up on South Brush
creek just above Headquarters, on the
line of the old road to Gold Hill. After
cutting $4,000 to 100, 600 feet Of lumber
there, another location will be selected
and the mill moved.

PRETTY STEEP DEMANDS.
Jurors and Witnesses Who
Are Not Bashful.

FIIIebrown Jurors and Witnesses Who
Are Not Bashful.
The county commissioners held another
meeting yesterday afternoon and had lots
of fun in reading and cntting bills pre-
sented on the account OF the Fillebrown
trial. Some of the bills presented they
consider as the greatest exhibition of gall
that the average juryman is CAPABLE of,
and would like to have them framed and
preserved for presentation to the court.
One juryman being without money
ordered a pipe and tobacco from Under
wood Bros. and had the same charged to
the county; on the claim that he could
not give a fair and impartial decision in
the case without a good smoke, during
which he would review the evidence.
Another juryman was too tirel one
morning to get up and go to breakfast
with the rest of the jury, SO later in the
day was taken to the restaurant by a
deputy, ate his meal and had the bill
sent to the county. Another one in
tended to charge the county 81 for eight
hours work; or So a day for his services
and bring suit for the amount, but
changed his mind and handed in his bill
like the rest. The witnesses for the de-
tense in tie trial presented their bills for
s%ettlemen, claiming their pay on the
ground that the defendant was acquitted.
The expense of the trial was so heavy
that the commissioners are inclined to cut
out every unreasonable bill presented, and
the chances are that a good many will be
disappointed in having their claims al
lowed.

VIM. B. Preston, John N. Lees, Chas.
F. Martineau and Hyram Thatcher made
desert entries at this land office three
years ago on land in Star Valley. Last
Monday they offered final proof and pay
ment, and protest was entered by Special
Agent Leach. who claims the land was
desert. He cross-examined the entry
men. but his cross-examination only en-
phasized the fact that the land was desert
land, and no witness was called on the
part Of the government to dispute the
fact, for the reason doubtless, that no
such witness could be found who knows
the country. The proof was eminently
satisfactory, but the entrymen were sub
jected to much needless annoyance and
expense at the instance, presumably, OF
the government, which ought to seek to
tighten the burdens OF those who are try
ing to redeem this western desert, rather
than to put obstacles in their way.

an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
