Casper, Wyo., July 29.-Bob Devine,
foreman of the &c w outfit and a
member of the band of cowboys that
had battle with cattle rustlers week
ago today, and his men have received
many letters from rustlers and their
friends, threatening their lives if they
go to the Hole-in-t Wall again; yet
they will start back tomorrow, and
have asked the sheriffs of Johnson and
Natrona counties to accompany them.
Serious trouble is expected, as it is
known that, the rustlers are organized.
thoroughly armed and. being filed with
thoughts of revenge by the death of
Bob Smith, will attack Devine and his
men. The latter will go well armed
and it is not at all unlikely that many
of them will not return alive.
A survey made recently shows that
last Thursdays battle was fought in
Johnson county. Consequently Bob
Taylor, who is held prisoner here.
will be taken to Johnson county for
trial.

Lander Clipper: On the morning of
the 18th snow lay quite deep along the
Wind River range, extending in some
places even in the valley. Never in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
has snow fallen so late in the summer.
Douglas News: The most profitable
business in the state the past few years
has been the sheep business, and many
instances can be cited in proof of the
statement; a few. however, viii suffice.
A young man near Manville three
years ago bought 1000 sheep from the
Platte Valley company on time. Civ
ing security on the sheep for the pur
chase money; the sheep paid for them
selves out of the earnings of the bust
ness, and in figuring up the herd the
young man finds it to be worth $1,000
at current prices. Another man near
Douglas, about the same time, pur-
chased 1,500 sheep from the same COM
pany and the other day sold out the
herd and made q net profit of some
thing over $4,000 for the three years
investment. Is 1t to be wondered at
that the sheep are crowding out the
cattle, and now, with the added slim
illus of a tariff, it will make it the most
profitable business to be found any
where for some years to come.
1t is credibly reported that the Rob
bers' Roost, Browns Hole and the Hole
in-the- Wall gangs of range thieves are
holding 400 or 500 head of stolen cattle
in the southern portion of Carbon
county, near Powder Springs. for an
opportunity for safe sale.

companies made this offer under the
impression as the armor of this kind

stop the work of the ship builders en-
tirely. Therefore, while they refused

the price fixed by congress. they

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.
Confronts the State Board OF Equal
ization.


The state board of equalization held
its regular meeting yesterday and dis
cussed the question of the assessment
of franchises. The question arising
was not whether franchises should be
assessed, but as to the manner in which
to proceed. For instance, the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company has
a franchise in this city. 1t also has one
in Ogden, Park City and numerous
other places all over the state. The
question which arises is whether they
shall be assessed as a whole in one
franchise, or whether each shall be as
sessed separately. Then, also, another
difficulty which the board discussed,
was as to taxing a franchise that is
paying no dividends or out of which
no money is being made. How TO go
about these assessments is the ques-
ton occupying the board, and they will
hear an opinion by a well known law
yer in this city before deciding the
case.
Today there will be no meeting as
the board will make a trip to Eureka
in order to look into the assessment of
some railroad property.
