the fish with as much care as are
our own people. He says there is
a movement on foot to have the
fish warden of Colorado furnish
them with trout fry to put in all
the streams running into the
Platte and thus do their share to-
ward keeping it ~replenished with
fish. MI Moore says the North
Park people are aware of the dep
relations of some of the people
from other parts of that state on
fish in the Platte in Wyoming,
and are laying for them, and if
they are caught they will be sum-
marily dealt with. All this will
be very encouraging to the people
of this part of Wyoming, who are
trying to keep the Platte river
we'll stocked with fish. They will
also be well pleased to know that
the North Park people feel that
they r really as much citizens of
Wyoming as of Colorado.

A WRECK.
East Bound Passenger on u. P. Collides
With a Light Engine Between
Fl. Steele and Walcott Sat
urday Morning Killing
Two Men.

East bound passenger, No. 4,
drawn by engine 1910, with Engi-
neerW alter l.. Marsh and Fireman
Victor Konold, left Fort Steel
about 1925 a. M, last Saturday
morning, being thirty minutes late.
Five miles east of that point,
while rounding a curve, it was run
into by engine 1857, which, in
charge of Engineer Mack and Fire
man Charles Olsen, was returning
to Fort Steele from helping a
freight up to Dana. Fireman
Konold was instantly killed and
Engineer Marsh SO badly scalded
that he died in frightful agony
within two hours. Mail clerk
Robert Pease had his back injur-
ed and W. q. Hass, another mail
clerk, had a finger crushed.
The accident was probably caus-
ed by the going wrong of Engi-
neer Mack's watch, as he had just
told his fireman, who asked him
about No. 4, that he had thirty
minutes in which to make Fort
Steele in for her. Mack and o.
sen both jumped and escaped un-
injured.
Walter L. Marsh was so years of
age and leaves a family in Lara
mic consisting of a wife and four
children. He has been in the en-
ploy of the company for twenty
years and was considered INT of
the bravest and most competent
men in their employ. He was
known here, and his brothers,
Ward N. Edward B., and Harlan
7. Marsh were all residents of this
community at one time. Fireman
Victor Konold had a wife and
child living in Laramie.
No one else was injured. En-
gineer Mack fed to the hills as
soon as he saw what his mistake
had done.

FOREST FIRES.
hey Should be Guarded Against by
Every Person in the Entire Val
iey.--The Present the
Danger Period.

From a gentleman who has just
returned from a prospecting trip
20 the mountains, we learn that
everything is getting very dry and
hat the mountains are full of
prospectors, campers and herders
nth sheep. He said:-
"You will need to warn the peo-
ole against forest fires in every
sui of The SUN. There is more
LANCER of q general confiaRration
loday than ever. The mountains
are as dry as finder and they are
literally swarming with people
everywhere. There are thousands
of prospectors and campers, and
many herders with sheep, and
if there are not many fires this
summer I shall be much sur
prised."
Great care should be used by
every one building a fire in the
timber to see that it is built in a
safe place and that it does not get
so large as to become dangerous
and get away into the surrounding
timber. After getting done with
the fire, water should be carried
and every particle of it put out
and the ground, under and around
the fire, well saturated with water
to prevent any Goals from being
famed into life by the wind after
the campers have left.
Besides the destruction to the
timber, and the great loss in for
est trees that hold the SHOWS back
from melting, thus affording water
for late irrigation, there is also
great danger of the destruction of
life by forest fires, now that the
mountains are so full of people,
Prospectors and miners have built
many cabins, here and there,
in the timber, and have stored
their tools and provisions in
them. These cabins, if in the
track of a fire, must go, and if des-
troyed represent much loss to their
owners.

Ram Needed.

This part of the valley is badly
in need of rain. The roads are
very dry and dusty and the least
wind starts a cloud of suffocating
dust across the country to the an
.noyance of every one and thing in
its track. Portions of the valley
have been visited by copious
showers, and scarcely a day passes
but what it rains in some locality,
but rain has given Saratoga a
wide birth for some time.
LATER-Since the above was
in type the weather man has fav-
ored us with a refreshing shower,
not enough by any means, but suf-
ticient to tide us over until he has
finished washing out some of the
men up country who are cutting
hay, against whom he has a
grudge.

No Reason for Trouble.

A ranchman of the Platte Val
ley complains bitterly through the
columns of the Saratoga Sun be-
cause of tresspassing by fishermen
on his premises. The ranchman
has his redress. Fishermen have
no more rights in his meadow
than they have in his parlor. We
recall an incident which occurred
on Dale creek some years ago.
Laramie parties turned their hors-
es loose in a mans field and they
destroyed 4 valuable crop of oats.
Not only that; the gates were left
open and cattle belonging to the
neighbors entered the field and
did a great deal of damage. Those
Laramie fishermen were arrested
and made to pay the damages en-
tailed. Platte Valley ranchmen
have the same remedy. But there
Is another side to the story. The
waters of the Platte are public
property, to a certain extent, and
the fish in the stream are not
"our" fish in the sense that the
ranchman means when he says
"they catch all our fish," All the
people of Wyoming contributed
toward stocking the Platte river
with trout and all the people have
exactly the same right to catch
them that the residents of the
Platte valley have. In the exer-
else of that right, however, they
must be mindful of the rights OF
others and be careful that they dc
not tresspass upon meadows and
fields. If they go beyond the
rights bestowed by law, then they
must of course expect to suffer
the penalty.-Laramie Republi.

thing to Wyoming for stocking
the river, and they are guarding

HEIR TO DAVIS MILLIONS.
An Alleged VIII Is Found Nine Years
After His Death.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. IA long lost will
has just come to light and with it the
prospect that the immense estate Of the
late Andrew ]. Davis, the Montana mill
ionaire. wiz again burden the reports of
the Montana Supreme Court
There is a woman in the case and she is
after her share of the Davis millions. Her
name is Mary c. Wilson and her home is
IN, Chicago, but the case takes its origin
in Omaha, as w. A. Saunders, an Omaha
lawyer, leaves here in a few days for Butte
Mont, 10 file the will for probate.
Andrew J. Davis was one of the mo t
conspicuously wealthy men of Montana
and when he died, on March H. 1890. he
left an estate valued at from $5.00A0l0 10
$1,000 coo. No will was to be found other
than document executed in 1864, and as
piring heirs Immediately plunged into It'll
CATION that was drawn out into a half
dozen years.
During the trials of the various cases
that grew out of the contest, afidavits
were filed to show thai other and later
wills than the~one of 1884 had been made
by the decedent but none of them ap-
peared. The document that has now turn
ed up purpOrts to have been executed in
October, 1889, some five months prior to
the death of Andrew J. Davis. Its first
Dequest is 100000 to the city of Butte for
a public library, and the second is a SINH
lar amount to my beloved friend, Mary
G. Wilson of Chicago" other bequests
are 100000 to Henry A. Root a nephew;
like amount to Mary Louise Dunbar, a
niece; like amount to Diana Davis, a sis
ter; $4,000 each to Harriet, Sarah and Eiiz-
abeth, three other sisters $4,000 to Err
win, brother; 100000 to Calvin, another
brother, and the remainder of the estate

The story of the will has to do with the
alleged relations of an old man who had
already reached the age of three score and
ten, and an exceptionally prepossessing
young woman, not yet 30 years old, placed
in custody of the millionaires last will
and testament.
Miss Wilson, it is stated, did not know
of Davis death until some time after
ward, but no reason is assigned why her
claim was not pressed until this time.
