BARN BURNED.

20 Information was brought to town
Tuesday evening that D. M. South
worth's barn, west Of Wheatland, had
been struck by lightning and burned,
together with all its contents. The
thunder shower during which the barn
was struck, amounted to almost nothing
and it seemed Incredible that lightning
should do any damage.
The barn contained 220 bushels OF
seed wheat, a buggy, wagon, harness,
farming tools and a trunk In which was
nearly all Of Mr.. Southworth's wearing
apparel. In addition to this w. A. Pal
mer had left a number of articles at the
barn a few days previous and these were
lost also.
The loss was a heavy one on Mr..
Southworth at this time. and Wheat
land people ~appreciating the situation, a
paper was circulated Wednesday and
$125 was raised to help meet the misfor-
tune. This amount will enable Mr..
Southworth to purchase seed wheat and
continue farming, but, OF course, does
not nearly cover his oss.-Wheatland

GRIEF EDWARDS DEAD.

Grif w. Edwards died at Hooper,
Neb.. On Tuesday evening Of heart fail
ure. The news came over the wires to
his many friends in Sweetwater county.
Although MI. Edwards home was in
Rock Springs, through his long resi-
dence OF 25 years in western Wyoming.
he was known by nearly everyone in this
section of the state. Mr.. Edwards was a
large stock owner, and was n of the
pioneer sheep men in Wyoming, own,
ing and managing at one time SO, 1000
head, but during the past three years he
has been gradually reducing his hold
ings in that line and investing in real
estate, both in Rock Springs and Salt
Lake. He was a man possessed OF great
energy and enterprise, and he will be
missed by our n%eighboring city, where
he was foremost in every project which
would be beneficial to the community in
which he lived.-Green River Star.

END OF A TRAGEDY OF A TERRI
BILE NATURE IN JACKSON
HOLE.
A Correspondent Relates the Closing
Scenes OF a Sorrowful Career
Thrilling Scene in a Court Room at
Douglas-Sheep Losses Reported in
Converse County.

No more tragic or sorrowful happen
ing has occurred In our valley than the
closing scenes in the life OF Mrs. Sarg-
ent. All that kindness and medical aid
could do was not enough TO save the
life OF the God-fearing and loving wo-
man. and at last the bruised and ILL
treated body refused to retain the spirit.
The sufferings OF Mrs. Sargent for
months prior to her death is only
known TO the All Seeing One and the
brutal husband who caused her early
demise. The charge that he is the cause
Of her death this correspondent Is will
ing to assume responsibility for. 1t did
not take Il post mortem examination to
reveal the fact that Mrs. Sargent was
suffering from a fracture OF the thigh
bone and two broken ribs. The opin-
ion of a competent physician Is given
that her stomach troubles were caused
by irritant poisons. If these facts, cou-
pied as they are with other brutalities
too infamous to mention. which were
practiced upon this weak and emaciated
woman, by her husband, are not a SUI
ficient justification to charge him as her
murderer, then justice is a sham and
crime should be allowed to run rampant.
Mrs. Sargent 10 the last refused to re-
veal the author OF her miseries, only
asking to be taken away from her in
human husband; dying. asking only that
her children be cared for by her owD
people and that they might never be
given over to the control of the father,
and that her body might be removed to
her far-off home in Maine; praying to
her last conscious moment that she
might never gaze upon the author OF her
troubles. The following day, as the
sun closed o'er the western mountains,
all that was mortal OF a loving mother
was laid away in the grave, to await the
coming of the resurrection morn. while
round her bier strong men and women
wept as they gazed upon the %sorrowing
scene.-Jackson Correspondent Evans.

couldn't stand 1t for him to doubt his

professors face wore an amused and
quizzical expression. Eyes. SOFT, In he
jumped, and didn't come up again. at

Il don't see that your cousin proved his
point by recklessly drowning himself"
Sure. sorr, 1t wasn't drowned at all he
was: the next day zones a cable from
