Laramie is a lively sporting town and
some events will take place in a short

ment of those whose tastes are inclined
that way.
The first event is a rat killing contest
which will take place today. A rat pit
has been constructed and three dozen big,
fighting hungry rats imported. Two ter

money is staked on the result and there
are also large side bets.
On Saturday next a programme of
horse races is arranged which will be run
if the weather permits and the track is
in condition.
On the 18th a boxing contest is ar
ranged. The fight will be with f~our-ounce

RELEASED AND REARREsrED.
Private George Blue Taken from Dem
yer to Golden.

lDNhNtE HSpuDANtusl
Jacob Price and George Blue were taken
into Judge Aliens court for q hearing on
The writ of habeas corpus put In for their
release. They were accompanied by John
Hipp, counsel, and a number of lady and
gentlemen friends. The two prisoners
were held under suspicion of having been
connected with the murder of Carl John
son of Golden.
1t was commended by Mr.. Hipp that the
warrants under which the men we're held
were defective in that they were issued
merely on suspicion, by papers issued in
LaTimer county. Seeing hat the murder
with which they were charged was COM
mitted IN Jefferson county, the prisoners
we're uDjustly detained and deprived Of
their liberty.
Mr.. WardI did not contend strongly for
their detention. lie Dade the statement
that Sheriff Hoagland offJefferson county
has sent word that he would be in Denver
in the afternoon to apprehend the men.
The court replied that it was in his
power to grant the writ or admit the rris-
oners to bail. and. as the sheriff of Jeffer-
son county was expected to come and con
veY them to Jefferson county. where the
case properly belongs, he would hold them
until then.
After dinner Mr.. Hipp informed the
court that he had received a message from
Sheriff Hoaglanl stating that he had no
warrant for Blue and did not want him.
The court thereupou allowed counsel to
put in force the petition for his discharge.
Price was rcmanded to Jail.
AS Blue was about to leave the sheriff ,
Office, a free man, he was bounced upon
by one of Sheriff Hoagland's deputies,
rearrested and taken to Jefferson county.

sTILL mIssING.
The Sheriff and His Deputies Have
Lost FIIIebrOwn's InaI.

Sheriff Kelley got back from Denver
yesterday but came without Fillebrown.
Fllebrown instead OF being a country
boy as has been reported turns cut to be
an old hand at tramping, according to the
information of Sheriff Kelley.
Fillebrown has sho Rn a good deal of
cunning in lodging the officers. He left
his horse this side Of Loveland with a
rancher some distaLce off the road telling
him he would be back after him in a
couple of days and then took a train for
Denver while the officers we're looking for
a nan on horseback.
Sheriff Kelley thinks he will head for
Texas or Louisiana as he knows that
country well. The circulars are pretty
well distributed down there, however,
and he will probably be captured as the
$500 reward, it is expected, will cause his
friends to give him up.

JouN PLANK lNroN DEAD
The milwaukee, Millionaire Expires Quiet
~ of Pneumonia.


MILWAUKEE, March 30.--John Plank
inton passed quietly away last night, and
the whole state mourns his loss today
The end Of his long illness came, pain
lessly and peacefully at $40 o'clock. 1t
was pneumonia that caused his death,
and paralysis which so long threatened
his life Last Tuesday he took a long
walk, and the day being damp and windy
he contracted severe cold, which
rapidly developed into pneumonia.
Dr. Thompson, who has attended
Linn through his sickness, said
from the first that his condition was criti-
cal but his family and friends were hope
fu that his wonderful vitality and great
will power which had so long sustained
him, would pull him through the attack.
Saturday morning he WAS sad to be slight
" better, but on Saturday night it became
evident that the end was not far off.
Yesterday morning he suffered consld-
eraby, and in the afternoon became in
sensible. At about o'clock he seemed
10 recognize those about him, but after
that he gave no sign Of conscious ness.
Dr. Thompson had prepared the watchers
at his bedside 10y telling them that death
would be heralded by short cessations Of
the heavy breathing, which would finally
stop entirely About $3.50 O'Clock the
dreaded symptoms Of approaching death
were noticed, and the family were hastily
summoned Ten minutes later Mr.. Plank
inton died SO quietly and peacefully that
the watchers hardly knew when the end
came. Mrs. PIankinton. Miss Lizzie Plank
inton, Mr.. and Mrs. William Plankntou,
Jeremiah Qnin and DR.. Thompson were at
his bedside when he died.
Mr.. Planknton was born in Delaware,
March II 1920. When II years old his
father removed 10 Pitisburg, where he re-
manned until the boy John came "a years
old. The latter then started with his wife
and son 70 seek his fortune in the west,
and in Milwaukee he found the opening he
desired He was twice married. Ills first
wife was Miss Elizabeth Brackein, a native
of Delaware. 20 whom he was married IN
1910 Two children, William and Eliza
beth we're the fruit Of this union, and are
still living The former inherits much OF
the enterprise and sagaeity Of his father,
and il identified with several large busi-
ness enterprises. The daughter, few
years ago. gave TO the city OF Milwaukee, a
superb statue Of Washington, the only one
In the country west Of the Allegheny
Mountains. Mr. PlankntoD's second wife
was Miss Anna Bradford whom he mar
RED in 1875. He was a faithful attend
ant al the services in Calvary PRESBYTERIAN
church. While not making an open pro
fession Of christianity, he contributed lib
orally to this church, and, in fact, was its
main support DO right was his re-
liz ion.
