STOCKED THE


Nature placed no trout in the tribu-
taries of the North Platte. In early
days 1t used to be commended that be-
cause they were not there naturally
they would not live there. All resi-
dents OF Laramie and southeastern
Wyoming were compelled to go TO Colo
RADIO streams for their food fish. Not
many years after Mr.. Otto Gramm set
tied On this section he came to the con-
cIusbon THAT the old idea was wrong
and that the Big and Little Laramies
were susceptible of sustaining large
quantities Of fish life. He obtained
suthorfty to act in the name of the
state and for many years, without a
fancy salary, he worked for the inter
ests Of the people in stocking the many
tributaries Of the Big and Little Lara
mics and the streams which head on
the other side of the Black Hills. in
Laramie county. In a very few years
he had changed the entire condition of
VIKINGS. Instead of going ITO Colorado
for trout, Colorado people come to Wy
oming. There is no finer trout stream
under the sun than the Big Laramie,
unless 1T is the North Platte, and all
this has been brought about from the
beginning instituted and carried for
wand by our progressive and ardent low
er Of angling, that delightful and
health-giving sport so conducive to the
welfare Of the human race. The
amount OF food which has been sup
piled to the people of Wyoming from
this source is almost beyond compu-
tation. Any man at all skilled in the
art OF casting a fly car secure a nice
basket Of trout in a single summer days
outing.
The fish hatchery at Laramie is en-
tirely the result of Mr.. Gramm's wis
dom and counsel, and the fact that the
streams Of this county and Laramie
county are now teeming with the finny
tribe is due almost solely to his indi-
v1dual efforts. What ne began without
pay in such a thorough and systematic
manner has beer carried forward by
others until now we have a magnifi-
cent industry for the benefit of the en-
tire people of the state.

In summe his mind must inadvertent-
ly turn to the father Of good fishing in
Wyoming, the Hon. Otto Gramm. If
there is a man in the state who has a
wider range of knowledge than he and
n who takes a deeper interest in all
our varied u and industries,
we have failed to learn his name. Let's
send him ITO the senate and permit the
people to have tine benefit of his wis
dom.

The writer has examined many brains
of persons morally or intellectually be-

He has invariably found the layer of
vascular, or gray matter, to be thicker
than that of Daniel Webster's brain.
Elephants. ~porpoises, whales, dolphins
and the grampus all have this layer
thicker than the most intellectual men
Another great objection to locating
mind in the gray matter of the brain is
that this substance is found in the in
terror part Of the spinal cord and in all
the nerve centers throughout the body
So that, if mind is situated in it, it is
not confined to the brain, hut dwells in

Still another objection lies in the fact
that wherever the gray matter exists

Charles MeryOn-born in lS21-was
brought up to the navy, going first in
1887 to the Naval school at Brest. As a
youth he sailed round the world. He
touched at Athens; touched at the hen
savage coasts of New Zealand; made
sketches, a few of which, in days when
his greater work was most of it done, he
used as material for some of his etch-
ings. Art even then occupied him, and
deeply interested as he soon got to be in
it he seems to have had a notion that it
was less digniied than the profession of
the navy, and after awhile he chose de-
liberately the less dignifed-because it
was the less dignifed. He would have us
believe so at any rate. He wished his
father to believe so. And in lS45, hay

went to the room and tried to arouse Tel
fair but was unable to do so.
1t was finally decided to break in the
door of the room, and this was done.
When the proprietor and hotel people en-
tered the room they found Telfair lying
on the bed in a deep stupor apparently
barely alive. An investigation disclosed
that the man was near to death and physi-
clans were summoned.
1t was supposed at first that he had TAX
en- some poisonous drug with suicidal in
tent, and upon this diagnosis the doc
tors worked upon Telfair all day apply
ing the usual remedies. Little progress was
made and Telfair remained in a comatose
condition all day yesterday and last night.
Being unable to bring about any change
in his condition, the physicians began a
close study of the case, and last night it
was partially determined that he was suf-
fering from paralysis of the brain instead
of being the victim of poison, as was sup
posed.
All efforts, however, failed to arouse
him, and tonight he was brought TO the
Grady Hospital here, at the instance of
his wife and friends. The hospital ply
stefan have been working with him from
the moment of his arrival, but with lit
tie effect. They are inclined to agree with
the McDonough doctors that it is a brain
collapse, but confess that his case is a
puzzlng one and they have little hope of
his recovery.

FAYNE MoOnE MAY GO FREE.
Subpoena Servers Have Not Been
Able to Find Martin MahOn.

From the New York Times Feb 2e
There is a possibility that the trial of
Mrs. Fayne Moore may go to pieces when
the jury is procured and the case is opened.
1t was learned yesterday that three sub
poena servers who had been dispatched to
find the complainant in the case, Martin
Mahon, proprietor of the New Amsterdam
Hotel. had been unsuccessful in their eff
forts. They have been looking for Mr..
Mahon for three days, and yesterday re-
ported that they had information to the eff
feet that Mr. Mahon had gone to Europe.
AT the New Amsterdam Hotel last night
nothing could be learned of Mr.. Mahon. A
general reticence prevailed, from Edward
Coyne, MIR Mahon's partner, through the
Intermediary stages down to the hallboys.
Mr.. Coyne even denied his own identity
when asked to tell where Mr.. Mahon had
gone and presently disappeared from view.
The night clerk, after much hesitation. said
he had not seen Mr.. Mahon for three days.
Il don't know anything about Mr.. Ma
hon" said he. He never tells me about
his movements. That's his business"
with no one present to take the chair as
complainant, the district attorney will
nave no grounds upon which to continue
the case against Mrs. Moore The mart
Mahon played In the affair at the Hotel
Grenoble. which resulted in the arrest of
William A. E. Moore and his wife. and the
conviction of the former, who was SEN
fenced to nineteen years in state prison, is
familiar.
AT the first trial of Mrs Moore the Jury
disagreed. Mahon was made most uncom-
Portable while on the stand by the merci-
less cross-examination &C Mrs. Moore's
counsel, Abraham Levy, and more than
once expressed his desire to be rid of the
whole matter. Mrs. Moore's second trial
began on Friday in the criminal branch
of the Supreme Court, before Justice
Fursman. When court was adjourned six
jurors had been selected.
Abraham Levy, who appears for Mrs.
Moore, when seen yesterday afternoon
and asked about the report of Mahon's
disappearance, said: II can't think that
such thing would be possible. The news
is a great surprise to me-
''WlI you make a motion to dismiss the
case when the jury is procured?" Lawyer
Levy was asked.
II do not care to answer that question, &"
he replied.
District Attorney Gardiner was asked
about the matter. He said that he did not
know anything about Mahon having left
the city.

TELFAIR's BRAIN CoLLApsEs.
AtIanta's Alleged millionaire Is in a
Serious Condition.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. Z.-David ]. Telfair
an eccentric genius, who created a good
deal of a sensation here last fall by ad-
vertising a S1OO, 600 900 corporation to mine
gold by a new electrical process invented
by himself, was brought here tonight
from McDonough, and placed under the
care of physician at the Grady Hospital
apparently in dying condition.
1t seems that his gigantic scheme for the
revolutionizng of the gold mining business
of the world overbalanced his mental ca
pacities, and brought on a collapse that
will probably end in death. His mind
could not bear up under the Authorization
of SO many millions.
His pockets were empty, for it is hardly
a secret that Telfair. though on paper the
owner of over half the stock in 800, 900 900
company, was hard up for ready cash all
the time he resided here Seven cents was
all the cash this man of so many imagin-
airy millions had in his possession when
the people of McDonough found him help
less on their hands yesterday.
Shortly after Telfair first startled Atlanta
by his visionary schemes in gold mining,
he was put in Jail in connection with the
purchase of eight pairs of shoes which he
refused 20 pay for claiming that he had
paid for them once already. When he was
released from Jail, he married Miss Alice
G. Telfair, his cousin, and for time moth
ing was head OF him. He resumed his
plans in his Office in Atlanta and the noto-
riety which he attained in connection with
his prosecution about the shoes did not
seem to discourage him in his purpose of
floating the stocks and securities of the
gold mining companies in which he claimed
10 be interested, and which he said were
formed for the purpose of conducting the
gold mining business in China under his
new system, in which electricity played a
part, and which he declared would bring
about revolution in the gold mining bus
mess.
He called his machine an "Epilepsero."
From an accounts his sales of stocks were
all in the air, as was evidenced by the
funds in his pockets when his mind gave
way thinking about his millions.
Telfair went to McDonough Saturday
night and registered at the hotel, request
ing that he be called at 7:30 o'clock Sun
day morning. At that hour one of the SER
wants at the hotel was sent TO his room
and knocking on the door, received no re-
sponse Calling Telfair repeatedly and
hearing no sound from the room he re-
ported to the proprietor of the hotel. who
