, HEARD ABOUT Town. :

Russell Thorpe, one OF the prominent
young cattlemen in Wyoming, is in the city
to dispose of trainload Of cattle. Sunday
evening, while the rain was pouring In tor
rents, MIR. Thorpe received telegram from
his ranch at Rawhide Buttes, Wyo., stating
that snow had been falling and had reached
a depth OF six inches on the level. There
was once time" said Mr.. Thorpe, In dis
cussing the early SHOWS, when western
cattlemen awaited the coming OF winter with
feeling akin to dread. In ratio to Its sever
ity was the loss of cattle on the ranges.
Now, however conditions have been greatly
changed. All the big western outfits provide
themselves during the summer months with
numerous feed sheds and a great plenty OF
feed to tide their cattle through any severe
spell of snow or cold This being the case,
the cattlemen look upon snow storm with
the same unconcern as a metropolitan resi-
dent"
Mr.. Thorpe was formerly one Of the pop
ular students at the State university and
has been in charge Of the big Rawhde Buttes
ranch only since the sudden death of his
| father, Colonel Thorpe, about year ago
| He has a number Of friends in Omaha and
his periodical visits to the metropolis are
always most enjoyable.

Seine Fisher Fined.

Justice Cockrell has disposed of the cases
of Christ Trautkuss and August Tobbart
the seine fishers, by fining the former $50
and costs and allowing the other to go.

ploye. The men had been operating a 700
foot seine in Florence lake, using horses
to pull the thing out. Justice Cockrell
ordered the seine and other fishing aDpar-
atus destroyed as the law provides 1t shall
be, and suspended the fine during good

SITUATION NOT CRITICAL.
Not Alarmed by Az
fairs In Cubn-Gen. brooke Has
Full Authority.

Washington, May 17.-Gen. Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba and il in
not believed Mt the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condi-
ton OF affairs.
Communications that Gen. Brooke
has made TO the war department re-
gardng the situation are not given To
the public, but the officials understand
that the source of the present trouble
is that the generals" of the Cuban
army are disappointed because they are
not likely TO realize as much out of the
money appropriated for the army M
they think they should. These gen
erals" all believed that they would Sc
cure a proportion of the money equal
10 their rank and their own estimate
OF their services. The whole trouble
regarding the payment of the money
and the delay may Toe traced directly to
these officers who, as members OF the
assembly. or as supporters of Gomez.
have constantly raised obstacles in the
way of peaceful disarmament of the
Cubans and the settlement OF the at
fairs of the island.
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerations. The United States vii.
remain for the present in absolute con-
troll OF the island and the orders of tho
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.

VAN WICK UNDER FIRE.
Mayor of Greater New York Wit
ness before the Mnxet Commit
tee-shows His Temper.

New York, May Mayor Robert A.
Van Wyck was on the witness stand
Tuesday before the Mazet Investigate
ing committee. Mayor Van Wyck gave
IL as his opinion that the conduct of
affairs under the new charter has been
remarkably satisfactory, but refused
TO express any opinion regarding
changes in the city offices that might
tend 10 improve the administration OF
the city's affairs. There was not much
of note about the mayors testimony,
and only on one occasion did he find
reason 10 make an outbreak. This was
when he was questioned by Counsel
Moss, of the committee, regarding the
rumored connection of "a man named
Van Wyck" with a number of pool
rooms. The mayor became very angry
at this and declared that Mr.. Moss had
asked the question for the purpose of
'insinuation." He demanded that il
any evidence was obtained To prove any
such connection il should he produced
before the committee. He denied most
emphatically that he had any connec-
ton with any poolrooms whatsoever
or any illegal business. Mayor Van
Wyck asserted emphatically also that
he had never consulted with anyone
regarding the appointments ne had
made and that he, himself, was the most
powerful factor i'm the city administra-
ton, that he was guided absolutely by
his own affairs, and not by those of Mr..
Croker or anyone else. The mayor said
that he had dismissed Chief of Police
McCullagh because he was not III man
for the position. and that he had re-
moved Police Commissioner Phillips
and Hamilton because they were unfit.
The mayor said: "Hamilton black
mailed the Casino"
Police Commissioner Sexton, i'm his
statement before the committee, said
with reference to the appointment of
Chief Of Police Devery: Il wanted to
make Devery chief. Devery was my
friend. and | wanted to make him chief
of police, and ] retired McCullagh."
President York explained the retire
ment of McCullagh by saying that IL
was a case of politics" and "A desire
TO have harmony in the police depart
ment lie said, however. that McCullagh
had been a good officer. Both police
commissioners acknowledged that they
had heard Of the poolrooms being run
In the city, and said that efforts were
being made TO suppress them. Presi-
dent York added however. that gam
bling had always existed in New York
and that in his opinion il always would
exist.
