SHOVEL X f

One OF the big steam shovels which
has been at work in the now famous
Sherman gravel pits has quit work. The
operations Of the shovel were stopped
Sunday and stored in the shops.
The only reason given for the stop
ping OF the gravel shoveler is that busi-
ness on the Union Pacific Is 30 heavy
that the company found it impossible
to spare enough empty cars to keep
more than one shovel going and ven II
there were enough empties 1t would be
difficult work to get them back to the
pits.
The second shovel will continue op-
erations until November Is. ut which
time 1t will be brought to Cheyenne and
the work at the pits postponed untf
next spring.
VIM. Stewart, who has had charge o.
the pits and boarding cars, has return
ed to Cheyenne and will take his old
run as conductor in the freight service

TWO CATS TN ONE.
Story Of an Express Messenger Who
Lost One Package.

Chicago, Oct. Pa 50-poond Wild
cat with a split eyelid, an ear consider
ably the worse for mastication, and fresh
battle scars innumerable about its body,
was last night billed as two CATS by
Messenger Gambel Of Wells, Fargo Z
Cos express. and forwarded, to Its con-
signee in Ohio.
Messenger Gambel averred that rs 4
matter Of fact there were really two cats
in the cage, although only one was Wis
ible. The other. he said. was some
where in the innermost recesses Of the
disreputable looking beast which spat
vicio0sly over his shoulder at all comers
and some ~fragmentary sesamoida and
tufts o: gray fur strewn aboot the door
Of the cage, and the ensangnined whis-
kers Of is occupant seemed to bear out
his statement.
The cats. previous to assimilation,
were entrusted to Messenger Gambel's
care at Kansas City. He was there as
sured that the animals had Travelled to-
gether from Fall Brook. Cal, In peace
and harmony.
How the diflculty arose Gambel says
he cannot tell. but an hour out Of Kan
sas City. there was q sudden "phltt"
from the cage that made him overbal-
ance In his chair and roll over ON the
door. When he got up he noticed that
his pets were crouching in opposite
corners OF the cage. their ears laid back.
and their bob tails twitching nervously.
He also noticed that there did not seem
10 be as much solidity about the struc-
ture in which they were combined ~ ne
would have liked. 50 he hastened to
poke some beef In between the bars as
a diversion.
He was no sooner done this than the
cats came together with q thad OF ex-
treme suddenness, and two yowls that
made his blood drop 16 degrees In tenn
p%erature. He would have left the car
right there. only that ne scorned to
leave his post. He would also have
been compelled to descend from tho ton
Of Tie safe to get to the floor, 70 he drew
his revolver with trembling hand and
rising hair and awaited Developments.
Every minute the counbatants struck the
bars Of the cage with . force that made
them culver. The light lasted over IN
hour. and when ut hast the haegard NEE
seDger.ieft his perch and cautiously ap-
preached the cage to investigate. there
was only one cat left.
