Oppose bounty Appropriation.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Dec. 1l.--(Speciai.)-
In all probability an interesting fight will
be waged at the coming session OF the legs-
lature over the proposed wolf bounty ap-
preparation. For several years the legis-
lature has appropriated sums varying from
$40 900 to s25 900 to be used in paying
bounty on predatory wild animals killed
within the state. Each appropriation was
fought vigorously by 'he newspapers OF
Cheyenne. Laramie, Rawlins and Rock
Springs on the ground that as no one bat
the stockman would be benefited by kill
ing Off wild animals, the stock interests
should stand the expense of making war
on the pests and the same should not be
assessed against the merchant and shop
man Of the cities and towns. As rule
the legislature OF Wyoming Is made up
chiefly OF men who are interested in the
live stock industry, either directly or in
directly, and 1t has been a comparatively
easy matter to pass the wolf bounty ap-
preparation bill The stockmen may ex-
perience some dif'culty this year, however,
as a determined fight is already being made
by some Of the largest and most inf1uen-
tial republican papers OF the state. and
when the bounty bill is presented It will
meet with decided opposition.

A Cyanide Addition.

For several weeks part work has
been going on quietly at the chlorin-
alton works on cyanide plant ad-
dition to the pig institution, and
this addition is now nearing COM
plet on. The tailings from former
runs Of the old plant will be taken
up and treated accol ding to the cy-
anide process. There are several
hundred tons of these tailings and
they are said to easily run IS to 81
gold per ton, this sum being lost in
the chlorination process when the
works were in operation. The cyan
ide process will recover this gold
and to The UNION the propoeiticn
looks liks good one.
The whole move is being made un-
der the personal supervision of G.
Howell Clevenger of the State
School of Mines faculty, who thor.
oughly understands his business.
The UNION hopes to see the propcsi.
tion win out, as the works have
been nothing but a hoodoo to Rapid
City ever since they we're built.

Attend the Primaries.

On Saturday evening of this week
primaries will be held in the various
precincts throughout the county to
select delegates to attend the county
nominating convention at Keystone
on Wednesday, September 18th.
The UNION once more urges all peo-
ple's party voters to see that these
primaries are held and delegates
chosen from every precinct. This
is OF the utmost Importance, as the
Keystone convention will nominate
a complete county ticket, and no
precinct can afford to be without
representation in that conven tion.
Therefore, attend the primaries on
Saturday evening and see that your
precinct delegates are chosen with
out fail. This is the last call. Do
your duty.

An Extensive Blaze,

The fire alarm which sounded at
1:30 Wednesday morning caused our
people to rustic hurriedly into their
wearing apparel and get out onto
the streets, the blaze being located
on north Sixth street and proving
one of the hottest whic the fire lads
have yet encountered.
The fire started at about :l5 in a
stall near the rear end Of the old
Gene Barrett feed barn, better
known as the Alex Shellito barn.
A. moment or two later the whole
barn was a mass of flames aud as
a stiff breeze was blowing from the
south quick work was necessary in
saving the horses and vehicles in
the building. With the exception
of two horses, two OF three vehicles
and some harness everything was
saved. The place was run by the
Mccain boys.
Immediately north of the barn
stood the blacksmith shop of Geo.
w. Slick, which was consumed in a
hurry, along with tools, equipment
and considerable work on hand.
Mr.. Slick loss will be considerable.
Next in the path Of the fire was
the old Farmers Hotel building,
near the F. E. & M. V. tracks, own
ed by Mrs. II. H. Gum. 1t was
fairly we'll built, being worth prob
ably $1,000, and was entirely con
sumed-
The fire was an extremely hot one
and several times the Red Barn
across the tracks, and Patrick s
blacksmith shop across the street,
were on fire, but the three streams
OF water which the fire boys had
playing saved these buildings. The
intense heat prevented the 6remer
from doing anything toward saving
the buildings Immediately in the
path of the fire, their atten tion be
ing centered on the task of prevent
ing its spread to other property
which they did very successfully
The total loss from the whole blazt
is estimated at 81, 500, 90.

occupied the attention of Justice
Paxson Saturday afternoon. The
offense is alleged to have been com
mitted on Thursday OF last week
the complainant being Mrs. Josepha
Nowakowski. States Attorney C.
L. Wood handled the prosecution,
while O. l.. Cooper looked after the
defense. Most of the evidence pro-
duced by the defense was to prove
an alibi, but Justice Paxson bound
young Summers over to the next
term of the circuit court under
bonds of $3.50. 1t is a hard matter
to get the real merits of the case at

come to showdown before the cir
