held tho district court of HinsdR!e county

Ia ael Swan. Shannon Wilson Bell, F,anI
Miller. George Noon and James Murphy.

years for killing Swan. The opinion Of
Chief Justice Hayt was that the district
court had authority to inflict successive or
cumulative penalties for several convic-
lions. Packer will now serve eight years
for the murder of Bell, and SO on for hi
three other victims. with deductions fol
good behavior. Packer killed and ate por-
tions of the five men named, in thu noun

The Moon.

Tho age Of the moon cannot be told &C
curately. Scientists have some idea Of the
age OF the earth. and it has been believed
until lately that the moon was older than
the earth because she Is not now inhabited.
nor does there seem to be any water or
vegetation upon her-only vast mountains
and deep valleys. The inference is that
she is a dead w~orld'-that she has lived
through ali her prime when she was green
and beautiful and teemed with life. and
now She is only useful to light up our
planet, around which she revolves once in
every twenty eight days, making o u
months. 1t 10 now thought by some sci
entists that the moon was once a pait oil
our planet. and that it was thrown off from
QUE earth when the earth WAS a soft molten
mass. This would make the moon more
than p, 600, 600 years old. The earth, ac-
cordinR to geology, has been in existence
q 600, COO years, counting only from the
formation OF the primitive soils.

A Cowboy Throws a Lnrint Around n

GuNDANcE, Wyo., June 22.-An awful
tragedy came near being enacted at Hullett
postofice, twenty miles from Sundance, a
few days ago. Dell Storms and a boy
named Swartz, two cowboys. quarrelled
over the possession of a calf, and Swartz
was being whipped ov2r the head with q
rope by STORING. when 10 jumped on his
horse and rushed for the corral whore his
coat and sixshooter were lying. Storms
saw his movement, and threw his lasso just
az Swartz reached for his gun. The rope
caught the boy around the waist. Storms
then started his horse on a run across the
prairie, dragging Swartz after him. The
men ON tho tound-up stopped him after he
had dragged Swartz about 800 yards. The
affair has stirred up much bad blood in
that vicinity and more trouble is feared.
