BE ON GUARD.
A New Scheme for Working The
Burglars Game.

Information was given at the Health
Office yesterday by lady residing at 215
Cough street, thai her house had been
visited by two men representing themselves
to be Assistant Health Officers, and de-
handing the privilege of inspecting the
plumbing of her premises. Not questioning
their genuineness she permitted them TO do
so, and after securing the house from top to
bottom they departed, telling her the plumb
ing was all right.
There is no doubt but that those parties
were impost0rS. The Health Department
employees are always required to show
badge when they call at private houses and
as general thing a written notice is served
on parties before the privilege of examina-
ton is sought. All householders are warned
by the department not to listen to any one
representing himself from the Health Office
if he cannot show badge

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
A Remarkable Result in the Case OF
Ranchman Smith.
Denuded of Hair and Burned On
One Side Only.
His Hat, Clothing and One Boot
Torn to Tatters.
A Long Siege of Inconsistencies
Will Result in Recovery.

Charles Smith, a ranchman living on
bolt and got but very little the worst of it.
His experience was unique hut still OF
such a lively character that he would
probably not wish to have it repeated.
1t was during a big rain and thunder
shower on Thursday afternoon. The rain
was pouring down in torrents. The light,
ming flashes were peculiarly vivid and
binding, while the thunder reverberated
along the heavens, breaking forth in sud-
den. awful thunderclaps or dy.
ing away in sullcn distant rum
bles. In the midst of the storm Mr..
Smith had got through with some work
In which he was engaged in his barn and
started out to go to his house which is
only a short distance away. He had only
gone a few feet when there was a blind
ing fash of lightning followed by a
piercing thunder clap which seemed to
strike the very center OF the earth. The
great force of the shock struck Mr..
Smith who fell to the ground IN a heap
as though from a paralytic stroke. From
the point at which Mr.. Smith lay the
electric force plowed a furrow two inches
deep to the barbed wire fence along
which it danced and finally disappeared
without doing any further damage.
1t was some time after the accident
happened that Smith was found living in
the yard. He wa supposed to be dead.
His clothing was in tatters from head to
foot, o even his hat or boots escaping.
There was a sickening smell of burnt
flesh and h. clothing had been ignited in
several places, but had been extinguished
by the down-pour1ug rain. When re-
moved into the house and an examiDa-
ton made, a strange sight revealed itself.
His right arm was burned from the
shoulder to the hand. while his left side
escaped hurt entirely. A burned spot
was also discovered on his right leg. All
the hair on the right side of the body was
singed off, so hat not a vestige
remained. 10 this manner all the hair
on the right side of his head was
completely shorn off while that on
his left remained intact. The same was
true of the hair on his right arm. right
breast and right leg. One toe on the
right foot was rather severely injured.
The boot which had been on this foot was
completely torn to shreds, the largest
piece of leather to be found being about
three inches square, The boot on the
other loot was not damaged.
1t was a long time before Smith re-
covered consciousness. As soon as posi-
BILE a telegram was sent to Cheyenne for
DR.. Maynard, but that gentleman was
unable to leave until the following day,
owing to washouts on the Cheyenne and
Northern road. He found the facts
about as here stated, with the addition
that the eardrum of Smiths right ear
was ruDtured, and he will consequently be
permanently deaf on the right side. His
right eve was in nOwise affected. DR..
Mayard, who returned to town yesterday,
said the escape was little short of miracu
lous. Smith is now an object of great
curiosity to all his n~eighbors, and the
shreds of burnt clothing which he had
worn are being kept as relics.

Gle referred to is a Catholic and an
American Catholic, who reyeres and
loves his native country America and
her institutions next to his God and his
faith. He believes in justice aud fairness
to every form Of religion. He thinks that
here in this state, where Catholics are but
a small minority, they should enjoy the
same rights as they do in other states of
the Union where they have numbers and
wealth and influence, and he believes that
the vast majority of the right-minded and
respectable citizens of Wyoming agree
with him in this. The Catholic church
asks no favors, she demands her rights
simply. She does not exist here in this
republic on sufferance. She is no novel
institution, no rare exotic Just transplant

the beginning and she came here 10 stay.
Her blood flows through every vein and

blood-!etting was required for the saliva
ton of our country, it flowed in generous
streams from over 10000 OF the children
of the Catholic church, who, on the
battle field or hospital-cot. yielded up
their lives that the nation might live.
When the thrilling cry, The country is
in dangerl res1unded through the land,
there was no discrimination against
Catholics then. We dom want any now.
