Kan, has been in the city the last few
days purchasing all the horses for sale

Last winter some Canadian lumber
men came TO Wyoming and invested in
a large quantity of timber land on the
the Idaho state line. They constructed
a boom at Green River on the Union
Pacific railway Of sufficient strength to
hold a large quantity of logs at a cost
of over $4,000. In the early spring they
began to cut timber, preparatory to
floating the logs down the river.to the
Union Pacific railroad. 1t is reported
that some 10000 logs are floating down
the river distance of 100 miles, which
Will yield some 100000 feet of first
class lumber and tfmbers. These Cana
dian men are arranging to put up
$4,000 saw mill at Green River and ex-
pect to find a ready market for their
lumber all along the line of the Union
Pacific railway.

mighty dollar is so scarce, and that
prosperity that we were promised has
failed to materialize. people are not
going to be taken in on such a PROPOSE

1 see in your Jubilee notes, that
people claim to be the first TO manu-
facture lumber, shingles, lime, etc,

overlooked, and 1 think some recogni-

the great industries Of the state.

The Bonding Question.

Meetings were held in ali the wards
last night to discuss the bonding prop
oeition. TO be voted on today. The at
tendances were light, the average num-
Der present in the wards being but 20.
Those favoring the proposition out
numbered those against it, but those
who were undecided and seeking infor-
nation outnumDered those who were
positively for and against 1t.
Speakers were present to explain the
proposition from the standpoint of
those who favored bonding, and from
the questions asked CT the speakers 1t
appeared that many misunderstanding
exist Some thought the water COM
aany was about 10 acquire an undis
puted right to the water it is now US
ing. and that by issuing the bonds they
would be stopped from acquiring that
right, and that the right would then
pass to the city 1t was pointed out
that in any event the city viii only
acquire the right to as much water as
it had when the present system was
built.

Full OF uncertainties.

The indications are that there will
be a light vote polled today. and that
the $3.50, 900 bond issue will be author
lied by considerable majority. Still,
the unexpected is liable to happen, as
the number of those who are o9posed
to the issue as bad for the citys inter-
est will be considerably augmented by
those who fear that the agitation
means a big deal. Certain it is that
the public has not been fully taken
into confidence in the matter. and if
the system is to be purchased with the
bond money, the public does not know
what the system is to cost.
The public has never been sufficiently
advised as TO why the bonds are neces-
sary until after the suit for forfeiture
and S150,000 damages has been decided.
That a success could be made of
competing system is not thought pos
s.ble.
The fact that the water company is
making no effort whatever to prevent
the bond issue. gives rise TO lurking
suspicious that the company wants the
bonds 10 be voted.

C. E. Stevens, the Plain City Shooter,
Gets Of Easy.
The case of Charles Ernest Stevens,
charged with assault with intent TO
kill Isaac Hewitt, came up yesterday
before Judge Rolapp. The prosecution
put in substantially the same evidence
as in the preliminary examination but
before the defense had put on all its
witnesses q noon recess was taken.
STE ems was Shown TO be extremely
credulous and hence the butt of many
a JOKE. some evidence tended to snow
that the bullets flew several rods wide
of Hewitt and hence we're fired TO
scare.
During the noon recess an agreement
was reached whereby Stevens should
plead guilty to assault with a deadly
weapon. He Will appear for sentence
July %, and it is not thought the SEN
tence will be heavy-probably a fine of
less than SIS.
The Deerng Harvester company yes
terday filed an action against Sidney
Stevens to compel an accounting for
certain merchandise taken by the de-
PENDANT to dispose of on commission,
the whole amounting to $2,731.21.

case continued by consent.
Homer Brown pleaded not guilty to
the charge of burglary.

duty for the term.

FARLEYs CONDITION SERIOUS
stabbing ARRAY May Cause a Murder
Trial.

Grave fears were felt yesterday over
the condition of Lafayette Farley, who
was stabbed Tuesday night by Ambrose
GTeenwell. In the early hours of yes
terday morning the wounds bled a good
deal, though excessive hemorTnages
were prevented yesterday. Fits CT
coughing viii start the wounds bleed
ing afresh and the nature of the stabs
seem 10 SGpsrinduct coughing.
All in all Farley's condition was re-
garued as very serious yesterday and
it is quite possible that Greenwich may
have TO answer to a charge of murder.
County Attorney Peery with Daniel
Hamer, visited Farley TO take a decla-
ration, but found the latter In a hope
full frame OF mind and not under the
apprehension OF death, so a dying dec
laration was not taken. Farley was
found too weak to talk much. A war
rant was sworn out charging Green
well with assault with intent to COM
NIT murder.
Arrangements were perfected for TAX
ing the ante-mortem statement of the
wounded man in case a serious turn
should come in his condition.
Meanwhile at the police station no
complaint has been made against
Greenwell, though the latter swore out
one charging Farley with assault and
battery. Greenwich was turned loose
by the police, but he soon after re-
ported to the county attorney and a
little later was placed under arrest by
the sheriff.
Much regret was felt yesterday over
the unfortunate affair. Although much
given to drink he was recognized as not
at all a bad man when sober.
Callers were numerous at the Farley
residence on Monroe avenue yesterday,
but few were allowed to see the sick
man, this being regarded as critical
time. Mrs. Farley is well known as a
singer of more than local renown.
