Professor ]. D. Conley was given a
specimen this morning of a fossil
found in one Of the rocks to be used
in the construction of the cathedral.
1t is a shell exactly like a miniature
buffalo head, being a carboniferous de-
post in the sandstone. The solid part
corresponding to the head is about an
inch in diameter, the horns about an
inch long and three inches from tip
to tip The professor says that it is
a new variety of fossil. This specimen
was found by Michael Bergi, who is
the boss mason of the force at the
cathedral. Professor Conley has been
making a collection of fossil found in
this kind of rock and the masons have
been saving them for him. This is the
carboniferous formation in the upper
Paleozic, just under the red rock in
the geological formation. Other speci-
mems that the professor has found in
the cathedral rock is the fossil pima,
which closely resembles a razor she'll
oyster Also the allorisma, which
| looks like a soft sheel fresh water
clam. The fossil is an extinct salt wa
ter shell. Another is the specimen of
the bellerophon fossil she'll These
! specimens will serve to identify and
| locate more definitely the geological
| formation of the sand rock lying east
of the city. The professor is gather
| ing facts to put into a bulletin on this
| subject.-BoOmerang
An unknown tramp was killed by

man killed, along with two others of
| the genus hobo, were hidden away in
a refrigerator car and rode from North
| Platte to Hillsdale before being dis
covered A brakeman ordered the men

when the train started west again all
made a dash for brakebeams. All sue
| ceeded in gaining these Ravens of rest
except one man, who slipped and fell
The bottom of the car caught him
rolling him over and over for space
of fifty feet The train passed over
his right ankle and left foot. Both legs
We're broken in several places. The
poor wretch, besides, was injured in

| tramp, pulled him from under the
! train, but he lived but few moments

| Ed Anderson, of Wheatland, called
at The Leader office last night with ir-
REPUTABLE proof that Laramie county
is capable of great agricultural devel-
| opment His evidence to that effect
consisted Of lunches of oats, wheat
| and barley, over three feet in length
and of such quality as would delight
1.-THE eastern farmer if he could only
produce it. The wheat was plump ano
full, and absolutely free from rust
The barley and oats were of equally
high grade. The straw of ali three
samples was clear and of excellent
Equality.
Mr.. Anderson, who farmed i'm Colo
RADIO, says nothing superior to his
crop at Wheatland could be raised il
Eaton or Greeley. He seeded hi:
ground, virgin prairie sod, about the Is
of May, but was unable to get water or
j lit until June 10, so that up to tina
time there was scarcely any growth

and is now on his way to Colorado t.
