No fatalities have occurred as
yet, but the Pennington County

for them to throw you into a fit of
the smoothest clothing you eve1

The storm during the past week,
says the Carbon County Journal,
has been a severe one on range
stock Along Snake river in
Wyoming the snow has fallen to a
considerable depth and on the Red
Desert the continued storms and
alternating melting and freezing
weather has crusted the snow,
making the scanny feed difficult to
obtain. Sheep mouths are 10
from grubbing on the encrusted snow
and if the present weather continues
the loss among stock owners will be
considerable. Owing to the i'm
mense number of Utah sheep on the
winter range west of here, the feed
is scarce. Stock owners are hoping
for a more favorable turn Of affairs,
which would be introucted by the
incoming of warm weather.
A Kansas editor now in Ell Paso,
said to the Times reporter "They
have discovered perpetual motion in
Kansas. That state, you know, is a
rich field for discoveries. They have
discovered every known crankyism
out there and now | learn that a firm
composed of moneyed men has
bought a lot of land in Kansas and
will stock it with 1000 black cats and
5000 rats. 1t is etimated that the
cats will increase to Is, 900 in a year
or two, and black cat skins r worth
81. The rate will multiply five
times as fast IS the cats. The rats
will be used to feed the cats and the
skinned cats to feed the rats and if
this ism mighty near the perpetual
motion I don't know what it's"
