petition will soon be put in circulation
praying the postal department. to have
all the mail intended for the people of
this county sent into it by way Of Bird

Northern Pacific railroad, instead of
across the mountains from Sheridan.

to take charge of the construction of tho
temporary barracks for the two troops
of cavalry to be sent there. Captain

Rocky Fork coal Tuesday night, but it
was c%onfiscated by the Northern Paci-

absence of a better product Sheridan
coal has filled the demand.

been suggested that meetings be ar
