FIVE CREWS TO Be ORGANIZED
Mr.. McStocker is Awaiting Deve-
Icpments = In the Meantime
Enthusiasm is Growing.

| Mr. McStocker has been besiegeC
to join the proposed Naval Reserves
It has created much enthusiasm, and
there is no doubt but that if the Gov
eminent looks with favor upon the
| full
/ Already five we'll konwn citizens
have volunteered to raise crews They
are Marshal Brown, Capt J. B. Pratt,
a. w. Keech, and Charles Wilcox Ar
thur Wilder has also spoken about get
ting up a crew among the boat club
boys
All this is good guarantee that the
project will go ahead. All now that is
wanted is the official sanction of the
powers at Washington and Honolulu
will form a body of Naval Reserves
will rival the best
Mr.. McStocker expects advices upon
the subject in a few days. AS stated
before in this paper his communica-
ton and Mr.. Castles were forwarded
to the officials at the same time The
only question is whether or not the
sanction will be received until legis
lation is effected for the Islands.
The Naval Reserves has grown more
and more popular during the last few
years 1t has the advantage over the
militia inasmuch that it is closer in
touch with the government than the
National Guard the latter being more
of state organization.
During the last war the Naval Re
serves proved that they were made of
the right kind of stuff. In the many
engagements in Cuba they were always
in the front and their courage was
proved inf1inching Where hitherto the
men-of- wars men looked with deri-
sion upon the marines" thew now re-
ceive them on equal terms. The ''land-
lubbers" received their baptism of fire
and proved themselves worthy.
If the proposed local organization
be carried through the members will
be on the same footing as their COM
rades in the States. They will leave
for cruz e on one OF the men-of-war
at certain intervals, and will be amen
able to certain regulations similar to
any other military body. If, as it is
expected, a regular vessel be stationed
here by the United States, it will make
things doubly interesting.

SHOT HIMSELF.
An Employe at Hackfeld's At.
temptS Suicide.

Just as the 1 o'clock whistle blew
yesterday afternoon a shot rang out in
the rear of Hackfeld's warehouses. A
native boy ran to the spot and found
Karl Podyn, one of the employees,
lying in a pool of his own blood. He
had shot himself just above the heart
with 44-calibre bulldog revolver.
Joe Conradt came rushing out and
was the first man on the scene after
the native boy The latter exclaimed
that the man was dead. Joe raised up
the dead man, who was cropping for his
revolver
DR.. Hoffman was Immediately sum-
moned to attend the injured man. He
found that the ball had entered i'm
mediately above the heart. A shade
lower and death would have resulted.
The patrol wagon was sent for, but the
injured man declined to ride in it. so
a hack was ordered. He was taken to
his home and at last accounts was
resting easily.
1t is believed that the shooting was
a deliberate attempt at suicide. Podyn
is an employee in the merchandise de-
partment Of Hackfeld & Co, and for
some time has been worried. He has
had considerable trouble and presum-
ably attempted to get rid of it all by
the suicide route.

the spring freshets made these rivers
and stream raging torrents and during
the winter the tie choppers would get
their ties out of the timber so that
when the water came in the spring the
ties were floated down the streanms
in thousands to the line of the railroad,
where they were loaded on cars. In
the timber at the headwauers of nearly
all the streams can he seer the places
where the contractors worked and the
work of experimenting all these men
was left in charge of Mr.. Sprague and
his duties brought him face to face with
all kinds of desperate characters and
many thrilling episodes are recorded
in the history of these tie camps.
Among the other people interested in
this construction work with him was
George Francis Train, one of the pro-
motors Of the road.
After the road was completed, the
sub-contractors filed suit at Cheyenne
for claims amounting to nearly ST.
0OO,0 0 against the owners Of the road
on the contract. These were fin
ally settled and the affair closed.
M. C. Brown said today that deceased
was one of the bravest men he had ever

A gang Of choppers were in town and
making a disturbance, having been dis
charged by the foreman. Deceased
heard of the trouble and was al Fort
Sanders, the military post located three
miles south of town. He Immediately
drove TO town in a buggy with his fore
man, Mr.. Van Tassell of Cheyenne.
They were driving up Second street
and when in front of the place where
the postoffice is now located, three
mer pulled up Henry rifles and told
him to halt that they were going to
shoot him. 1t a a trying moment,
but MIR. Sprague turned and looked at
the men calmly and then drove on as
thqugh nothing was wrong and not one
of those men attempted to shoot or do
any harm.
