WE reprint II scorching editorial this
week from the Leader entitled Teller
the Timber Thief" which we hope every
rarchman will read. We have very
lately learned that Teller will purchase
another large lot OF timber land in the
spring and put in five saw mills and saw
ties for the u. p. BY saving the ties
he will BE- able to use much larger tim.
Der than heretofore, which means a
practical destruction OF the forest in
which he operates, As he has a con
tract to furnish 5OO,OOO ties to the U. p.
our people, who are depending on the
the Medicine Bow forest for a water
reservoir, know what that means. Our
people should lose no time in petition
ing the Department To set the Medicine
Bow forest asi,tc as II reserve and thus
save it from utter destruction.

Badly Kicked by a Horse

Harry, the little six year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Neis Anderson, got
badly kicked by II horse last Sunday
evening. His older brother, Charlie,
was leading the horses to water and
Harry vas following along behind.
When Charlie arrived home with the
horses he missed his brother and went
back to look for him. He found him
in front of Mr.. Harvison's house, lying
ON his face, unconscious and bleed
ing from the mouth very badly. He
picked him up and carried him home,
assisted by L. w. McAnulty, the lit
tile fellow recovering consciousness
just before they arrived there. DIR.
Price was called in and found the
little fellow pretty badly bruised on
the left side of his face and his left
shoulder. He took some stitches in
his upper lip and closed up the wound
in his forehead. The little fellow is
up and around and scenes very
bright. His left eye is swelled shut
and looks very badly, though the
doctor does not think he will lose his
eye.
He does not remember how the ac-
cident occurred, but thinks the horse
backed up and kicked him as he was
following along behind it.

Bright Things From Wyoming Tribun,

The Wyoming Tribune has a new
local editor, j. c. Thompson. He i,
inclined to be witty at the expense O
some of the Country Weeklies, bui
his wit is not barbed but bright. H,
says:
A Saratoga paper contains the start.
ling information: when in need OF
drugs 90 to the drug store"
A Casper woman rode forty miles
to vote at the recent election. And
the poor thing was ii democrat, too.
A Lusk man has been arrested and
fined So for shooting a chicken. Sort
OF IA case OF foul play, SO to speak.
S~weetwater is the name of a Raw
Inns saloon keeper. This. however is
no index to the quality of poison he
sells.
a Casper man recently had eight
turkeys stolen from him. Serves him
right for trying to r the market
up there.
A Saratoga advertisement reads:
The place to get a nice Merchum
pipe or cigar is, etc" That is q new
kind of cigar to us.
a state contemporary in speaking
of u recent arrival in town says: .She
will doubtless spend many hours
painting Wyoming's beautiful seen
cry" Nv, isn't it too bad that the
poor creature drinks.
Sherman hill should be made a ia
tional cemetery. Late visitors report
that there are thousands of dead sol
diers there.
The Wyoming Derrick says: Cas-
per is mentioned more frequently
than any other town Of it's size in the
tuIiou." Yes, IL Casper.

Seaman Schlesinger, of Rosebank,
that she would stump him to swim
from South Beaeh to Hoffman island
and back again, . distance Of five
miles. He accepted and the pair
reached the island without difficulty,
rested fer two hours and then swan
back. They struck the shore on the
return trip at four o'clock in the aft

both ways except for half an hour on
the return trip. Miss Robinson used
9 slow breast stroke throughout the

DEATHS BY: ELECTRICITY.
An Autopsy Which Shows That Light
ming aud Electric Chair Produce
Different Results.

Dr. O'HAnlon, Of the New York cor
oner's office, held an autopsy on the
body of William Frazer, 30 years old,
who was killed. by lightning at Ellis
Island. It has been. the acknowledged
idea among the medical profession
that execution by electricity and death
by lightning are the same form of
death. DR.. O'Hanlon showed by the
autopsy that this is not the case. In
an execution large clots form on the
surface of the lungs and the pericardi-
um, and every portion of the nervous
system is made plab.e. The body of
Frazer was found to ne hardened no
ticeably and there were no clots of
blood on the lungs or pericardium.
DR.. O'Hanlon said that Frazer had
been hit on the top of the head by the
lightning, and that it had passed down
his right side. The shock to the nerv-
Gus system was so intense that he
thought there was a spasmodic con-
traction which lasted for several min
utes. The man lived apparently for
two or three minutes.
Over the heart and on the right side
were found two burns about the size
of the dollar. These were ascribed to
the suspenders which Frazer wore. It
is thought that the metal buckles act
ed as conductors and thus caused the
burns.

MANS SOUL LIVES IN DOG.
Reported in Eastern Franee-A1-
imal Speaks Intellisently.

One Of the most wonderful stories OF
the transmigration of souls ever told
comes from L'Orient, an eastern sea-
port, where seven persons of good in
telligence and reputation for truth
swear upon their honor that dog
spoke to them intelligently.
Ten years ago, according to their
testimony, mariner OF the name OF
Kerbec, who had always been a firm
believer in the transmigration of the
human soul to'the body of an inferior
being, told his wife that after he died
he would return to her in the disguise
of some domestic pet.
-Four years ago strange dog wan
dered into the house and remained, be-
ing well taken care Of by the family.
Three days ago Widow Kerbec, her
three grown children, and three neigh
bors, including skeptical schoolmas-
ter, were spending the evening togeth-
er at the house. chatting pleasantly,
when suddenly the dog rose On his
hind legs and spoke distinctly in a
faraway, unnatural voice, these words:
"Adieu, wife and children; adieu,
friends.''
Then the dog fell over stone dead.

LION BREAKS FROM ITS CAGE.
Animal Causes . Panic Among Spec
tators at q Pleasure Resort
Near Milwaukee.

A lion in a menagerie at Coney Is
land, a resort on the river at Milwau-
kee, Wis, broke from its cage the
othereveningand caused panic among
large number of pleasure seekers. ahe
lion has the reputation of having killed
keeper in England and few days
ago struck Nine. Hilda, the performer
who goes into the cage with the lions.
One of the attractions of the show
is the feeding OF the animals. The other
evening the keeper teased the lion by
placing large pieces of meat on long
pole and then pulling it away before
the lion could get at the meat. This
caused the beast to become furious. He
tipped over the cage, and the bars
broke.
The lion started on a tour of the park.
\ kangaroo was in his, way, and he
killed it. The crowd vanished Some
climbed the trees, but the majority
fortified themselves in q house. The
killing of the kangaroo aroused the an
imal more than ever. When he saw
the park clear of people he killed a
Shetland pony and had started to feed
on his prey when some of the attend
ants lassoed him. After a struggle
they got him into cage. No one was
seriously injured.
