A SUCCESSFUL TRIP
State Engineer lead Home from a
Tour of the State

State Engineer Mead arrived at home
Yesterday. after a business tour through
the state and a few days visit to Salt Lake
City. While his trip was not a very ex-
tended one. it was an exceedingly business
one. Mr.. Mead held meetings with a
number of the most prominent business
men in Laramie and Evanston. The
subject considered was what Wyoming
should exhibit at the Worlds Columbian
Exhibition, and other subordinate ques-
tons concerning the same. Mr.. Mead
reports a very successful tour. He said
10 reply to a question, that he found the
people enthusiastic all along the line.
What was better. was that the best citi-
zens were taking a great interest in ex-
| hibits.
"The most important exhibits we will
make" he said ARE agricultural. mining
and oil specimens. Every time | go out
through the state | find something new to
be exhibited. We will have quite an i'm
portant feature to consided from tIInta
county. That is coal and sulphur. There
is plenty of sulphur to be found up there,
and while l do not know a great deal
about the value of sulphur. 1 do know
that there is very little of it found Ii the
United States.
Then there are the finest oil speci-
mems in this state to be found in the world
and we are preparing to have an excellent
exhibit of that indispensable commodity
at Chicago. This, with the precious met
ais and ores, will make it impossible for
Wyoming to take a back seat, and while
she is young and becomingly modest, she
proposes to get such a hustle on that
no one, not even her rivals. will dare
to intimate that she shouldn't do so.
A meeting of the Board of Trade was
held at Evanston and nearly every bust
ness mar in the town attended. A num-
Der of the board made speeches telling
what progress they we're making, and then
Mr.. Mead gave them some idea of what
he was doing.
From Evanston Mr.. Mead continued
his journey toward the setting sun and
alighted from the cars just a few minutes
after the conductor shouted Salt Lake.
While in Salt Lake he went before
the territorial legislative committee and
discussed the subject of irrigation. He
reports that the enthusiasm of the Salt
Lakers over the recently discovered gas
wells knows no bounds. Utah will be a
state, he says, within the next two years.

AN ~UNGALLANT SOLDIER

His Sweetheart

Denver News.l
Tobias Erb, late high private in the
army of Uncle Sam, is wanted in this
city on a charge of stealing 49, 500 from
Mrs. Mary Krieger. He obtained the
money from Mrs. Krieger upo his prom

the trust reposed in him and has left
Denver for parts unknown, while deteo-
tive agencies and police authorities in all

fed to apprehend hun. Erb is a German,
about "a years old. light complexion, with
hazel eyes. He has been in the service
for the past nineteen years. having only
received his discharge from company 81.
18th infantry. at Fort Russell, Wyo.. in
December last.
Erb met Mrs. Kreiger while at Fort
Russell, and wooed and won her. She is
a pretty brunette of about "a years of age
and is the widow Of a soldier, having re-
sided at Fort Leavsnworth before she
came west and met the handsome Ger
man high private. Whether Erb was af-
ter the cash he knew Mrs. Kreiger pos
sessed. or whether he was smitten with
her beauty, is not clearly known at pres
ent. At any rate the military widow fell
in love with him and gave him her cash
to take care of. After Erb's discharge he
vent to Laramie. Wyo , and his affections
~strayel from Mrs. Kreiger. he became
entangled with a petite brunette, Then
he got Mrs. Kreiger's money, took the
petite brunette and the train and came to
Denver. This was about Jan "a last.
trb remained here a few days. but fear
Ingt that Mrs. Kreiger would be after him
for his base desertion and ingratitude, he
fed Eastward and has not been heard of
since.
Mrs. Krieger put in an appearance o n
the local scene a few days ago. and is now
at Fort Logan. She presented the case,
it is understood, to Chief Farley, and a
large reward for the apprehension OF the
missing high private has been offered.
The marriage of Mrs. Krieger and Erb
was set for an early date, but his desertion
and subsequent attachment to the petit
brunette and Mrs. Krieger's money may
interrupt his pleasant visions for the fu-
ture.
A Fort Russell officer was seen last
evening and asked about Erb. He said
that Erb was well remembered at the fort;
that he was not considered a very reputa-
Bile man, and that when he was dis
charged last December he was not given
a certificate of good character. Erb
claimed to i've in Ohio.
