NOTES OF THE RAIL.

The noon train, east-bound, due here
at 1875 a. m, will not arrive till 6
O'Clock this evening.
The Evanston shops are working IF
teen hours a day and a large night force
is employed.-Rawlins Republican.
A wreck occurred last evening at
Piedmont west of Rawlins. No. 3. the
west-bound passenger ran into a light
engine and a few people were hurt. An
engineer named Topham had a leg
broken and another named Hamilton
was quite badly scalded. The train was
delayed for a time.
An incident occurred i'm connection
with the hurying of a lot Of snow shov-
being taken to Sherman to open the
line on the hill, which was learned to-
day from some of the men. A special
train carrying shovelers to which
General Manager Dickinson's car was
attached, arrived at Laramie about
o'clock last Tuesday morning. The
men declined to go any further until
they had a chance to get some cloth
ing. so the officials had to wait and
when a prominent official tried to hur-
ry the men one of them said, ito HI
with the blockade, we want some
clothes" and they got 'em, by waking
up a clerk in one of the stores and max
ing him get up. After reaching Dale
Creek a strike was inaugurated, the
men demanding a raise from SLIGO to
81 a day. and they got it and all the
officials could do was to swear.

From trainmen coming in from Raw
Inns today it was learned that a man
who had committed suicide neal Fort
Steele had been discovered this after
noon by a track walker. The body was
of a man about 25 years old and found
in a pool Of water which had formed
from the melting SNOW in a hollow
along side of the railway.
Few particulars were to be obtained,
but from the fact that the man had par
TALLY disrobed himeslf, showed a de-
liberate intention to commit suicide.
The place where the body was found
is in Carbon county and the remains
will be taken to Rawlins. 1t cannot be
learned whether the dead man is a sec
ton man or a tramp and the name
could not be learned.
A section man walking the track
found the cap, coat, pair Of shoes and
pocket knife on the edge of the pool
and reported the fact to the foreman
at Fort Steele and this morning the
pool was dragged and the body found.
Deceased was a good looking, clean
shaven, hight haired mar To make
sure Of the job the poor fellow had
torn a piece Of his overalls out to
make strings and with them he tied
his feet together and also tied a rock
around his neck.

HAVANA LETTER.
Captain Varnum Writes to a Laramie
Friend Concerning His Station.

Mr.. Fred Douglas-Willan has re-
ceived the following letter from Cap
tain Varnum, who Is so we'll known in
Laramie:
Havana, Cuba, Feb. %, 1899.
My Dear william.
/ got your letter and was very glad
indeed Ito hear from you. 1t sounded
rather like home to hear from you.
Times are very quiet here. We simp-
ly wait for something to turn up and 1t
amt turning up very fast. There Is
no disturbance whatever in the island,
but l don't believe these Cubans can
ever govern the island unless they ap-
point all the niggers over here to be
generals and let them govern the
whites. The Cubans are really niggers
and half breeds brought up without
any education whatever and they
would cor being an equal of the low
down white mar. haven't been in Ha-
vana since | arrived In Cuba but once,
and that was when 1 marched through
town. They are cleaning 1t up and dis
injecting 1t, but it needs a systematic
overhauling. and a sewer system. If
you send supplies to the destitute, the
Cuban soldiers won't touch it to take it
off the cars unless you pay them for
doing it. They expect you to haul food
to them and pay them FOR unloading
the rations we give the Cuban soldiers.
see a paper n Havana expresses sur
prise at the absence OF white Cubans.
Every big, hurley Niger Is a general
In the Cuban army. He won't work.
He takes a little meal and bacon that
Uncle Sam gives him and scorns us.
He is a patriot, he is. There are more
generals than privates down here.
They promoted them all so that il the
government paid them they would
draw 5000 or $500 a month instead OF
S13. Think Of turning the OF
Havana over to those people. The
Spanish people are all right, and il the
opdluoh iSolutulS COulu 10TH d gov
eminent 1t would be all right. Bur
that would mean revolution by the
niggers and some other Niger would
start another and SO on. The condition
of Cuba would be wore than under
Spanish rule. 1t Is bound to end in oul
taking the islands ourselves some day
but l suppose that they will have to be
given an opportunity to show what
they can do. We hope to see this army
scattered, If 1t isn't mustered out, and
that we will get back in the interior
at some healthy place where we can
bring u families soon. Mrs. Varnun
Is in South Carolina now and the chill
dren are at school, and 1 try to be CON
tented without them. I am fat and
saucy and doing fine.
With kind regards, yours,

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Now on Trial at Rawlins Before Judge
Scott.

Judge R. H. Scott of Cheyenne. ar
rived in Rawlins Tuesday t hold a ses-
sion OF court for Judge Craig, says the
Journal. The cas- on trial Is that Of
the Columbia Building and Loan asso-
citation of Denver against Thomas
O'DonneIl. The case ssumes addition
al Importance from the fact that 1t is
looked upon as a test case, having di-
rect bearing upon a number Of similar
cases throughout the west.
O'Donnell bought stock in the build
ing association when it was organized
here. and in course Of time became a
borrower, with the understanding that
his stock would mature and his loan
be paid in full in seventy-two monthsly
payments.
O'Donnell made his payments regu-
larly until Within a few months Of the
limit. The association threatened to
foreclose, and he rendered payment of
the balance due, which payment the as
i~sociation refused to accept.
Hard times had cut away the profits
of the association. which could not earn
sufficient money on it's investments to
mature the stock in the seventy-two
months Originally agreed upon, and the
officers asked that stockholders should
continue their monthly payments until
such time ais the stock matured. and
upon the refusal OF O'Donnell to do SO,
they foreclosed the mortgage held on
his property and advertised 1t for sale,
which sale was enjoined by his attor-
,neys. McMicken and Blydenburgh. :
The officers Of the association con-
tend that there was no stipulated time
for the stock to mature, and that the
Representations OF It's agents are not
binding on them.
The association Is represented by
C%hatterton and Fishback OF Rawlina
and Judge Rising and j. Norman OF
Denver. and the case Is being stubborn
ly contested.

Robert Deal this afternoon sold his
$50, 900 shares of stock. or a quarter In
terest In the Ferr.s-H aggerty MininE
company for $4,000 cash. Mr.. George
and l. c. Miller, secretary and reasur-
er. are the purchasers.
No changes will be made il the pians
OF the company 70: developing the
property on an extensive scale.
Mr.. Deal gave reasons for selling that
he is not a mining man. and 5000 0
was too much Of a temptation for ndm
to resist. 1t gives him a start in life
that will enable him to engage In any
business he may desire.
Mr.. Deal says he has every confidence
that the mine will prove TO be one of
the mos valIltle properties In the
country.-Rlwlin' Republican.

The east is not to have a monopoly
of the high water stories this year by
any means. The creek with the classic
name which wends its way through the
southern portion of town, and which
ordinarily is so lazy and sleepy that it
becomes stagnant, is on a rampage and
has overflowed it's banks. The bridge
near the pump house is under water,
and the lowlands in the neighborhood
are submerged.-Rawlins Journal.
No appointment has yet been made
by the board of county commissioners
of a county assessor, as provided for
under the new assessment law. The
commissioners are awaiting an opin-
ion from the attorney general as
whether or not Treasurer Reals should
perform the duties of assessor for the
ensuing two years. The Laramie coun-
ty commissioners yesterday appointed
John Roberts as assessor for that coun.
tly.
