Tried to Get Away.

Hugh O'Rourke, the man who
attempted suicide at Copperton
last week was taken to Rawlins
Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Sis
son and james Snyder. The man
was evidently crazy. At Hugus
Gulch, the first stetion out from
Rawlins he attempted to escape.
The coach was loaded with pas
sengers and while they were
changing stage horses the man
secured a butcher knife and start
ed to leave the country. When
the stage was ready TO pull out he
was missed and on looking around
they saw him disappearing over a
hill. They at once started in pur-
suit and when they came up with
him Deputy Sisson told him to
halt. The man stopped and start
ed back at Sisson brandishing the
knife. Sisson ordered him to
stop or he would shoot him, but
this was what the man wanted
evidently for he kept on coming,
in the meantime begging Sisson
or some one to kill him. They
finally pursuaded him to drop the
knife and got hold of it. He was
taken on in and lodged in the
Rawlins Jail without any further
trouble.

Au Important Decision.

AT a short session of the state
supreme court held last Monday
a decision concerning the legality
of the law of 1895, applicable to
civil cases, which made the find
ing of two-thirds of a jury as le-
gal as a verdict rendered by the
whole jury, was handed down.
The finding was that the law
was unconstitutional as it makes
it plain that the whole jury must
be of the same mind, or the YER
dict cannot be accepted.

Get Some Jewelry.

Word was received yesterday
by Manager Hoel of Cosgriff

company's store at Medicine Bow
had been entered some time Mon
day night by burglars and the
safe blown open. The robbers
got some jewelry, but failed to
notice another compartment in
the safe where the money was,
consequently they got very little
for their trouble. There is no
clew to the perpetrators of the
deed but the company are making
strong efforts to locate them.

Kicked by a Horse.

G. III. McCarver, one of the
blacksmiths in S E. McAnulty's
shop was kicked Tuesday by a
horse he was shoeing. The ami.
NAL struck him with both feet,
one of them striking him on the
hip bone breaking off several
pieces of the bone and cracking it
and the other n just below the
arm on the ribs bruising him up
pretty badly. He was taken over
to the Saratoga Hotel and is get
ting along nicely. He was stand
ing a little to one side of the
horse near his heels, when it
wheeled and kicked at him before
lie could get out of the way. The
fact that he was standing near the
animal saved him for if he had
been a little farther away it is
quite possible it would have killed
him.

had if they would give him his
price-that is everything but his

Views Expressed by a Mining Man
Majority Of P%rospectors Want Small
Fortunes for a Hole in Ground.
Samuel Schill a mining man
who has been up in the Battle
Lake country the past winter
came in the first of the week. He
is buying machinery to operate q
concentrator at the Ferris ag-
garty mine, the dump of which he
has leased for a year. He has all
of the best methods for concen
trating ore and will stay at the
mine for a year and probably
longer.
In conversation with a Sun rep
resentative Mr.. Schill said:
"'The trouble with the pros
pectors and miners in this part OF
the country is that they want a
fortune for a small hole in
the ground. Some of these pros
pectors around here have from 30
to 40 ten foot holes and they will
not give a half interest in them
for development, nor will they sell
any or all of them for anything
short of a small fortune. They
do nothing themselves and lay
around town looking for some one
to buy their prospects. Now l
never saw better indications in
any country than you have here
but monied nla cannot get hold
of it for when a prospector finds
a good showing he stakes off the
country for miles around and
shuts every one out. This dis
courages capital, for the days are
over when a man will pay a big
price for a prospect, even though
it is a good one, and it is not right
to ask it.
Another thing. The people
in this valley do not half appreci-
ate what George Ferris has done
for this country. There is not
another mining camp in the coun-
try that pays the wages in por-
portion to the work the men have
to do than does the Ferris-H ag-
garty mine. Their work is much
lighter and the pay heavier. And
yet a majority of the people do
not realize what he has done and
is doing every day.

Man Killed at Fort Steele.

Sunday a man filled up with
Fort Steele's best-or worst-and

man yelling and on going back to

him minus both legs and an arm.
He asked for a drink of whisky,
but before the men got back with
the drink the fellow had died.
He had two Or three companions

CUTTING AFFRAY.
Two Men Have Trouble at Battle Lake
And One Uses a Knife on the Other
Cutting his Face Severely.

From W. T, Peryam of Encamp-
ment we learn hat a man by the
name of George Lobmier cut Noil
Bouisa, on the face last Sat
urday, cutting him clear to the
bone down the side of his face.
Lobmier claims that Bouisa,
who owed him a board bill came
to his restaurant a couple of times
taking some boarders away with
him each time, to another house.
No one knows how the cutting
took place as Bouisa would not
prosecute and as the man plead
guilty to an assault he was fined
accordingly.
1t is thought the cutting may
turned out seriously yet as it is
said that Lobmier is an all around
bad man. The quarrel started
when the men were working at
the Ferris-H aggarty mining last
winter it is supposed as they were
known to have had some trouble
then.
