c. NJ. Scribner was up from Pass
creek Tuesday, on his way to Teller's
tie camp. When spoken to in regard
to the business of the country, Mr..
Scribner said:- ~
at is surprising to me how bust
ness keeps up. If there is any diff
ference it is better now than it was a
yea ago. There is an astonishing
amount of freight at Walcott for this
upper country. | thought we were
doing a large business at this time
last year, but we are doing more now.
Il am on my way this morning to
Teller's tie camp with $1,000 pounds
for that place. We are getting along
finely with our 100000 pound freight
contract and, if this fine weather
holds, we will soon have it all in.

contracts in view when | get this job

among freighters that they never saw

permit.

Rev. E. E. Giffen, the pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Rawlins, has
been w the past week, holding ser
vices in the Presbyterian church at
this place. Mr.. Citizens mission here
was to look the field over and see what
the people here require in the way of
a pastor and see if they cannot be
supplied. During his stay here he
held services on each evening and
Sunday he preached both morning
and evening. He seems a very earn
est, capable gentleman and created a
very good impression while here.
The people felt that if they could get
as able a man as MIR. Giffen they
would be content. He left for home

The Encampment smelter is at
work, having blown in last week.
The first product of the smelter, in
of matte, passed through here
on Monday morning on its way to the
railroad. We understand that this
matte is being shipped to some point
in Vermont for treatment. Everyone
here is very much pleased to see the
smelter in operation and hope it will
be many days before its fires are al
lowed to cool down.

District court will convene Monday,
next, with Judge d. H. Craig on the
bench. Quite a number of cases will
come up for trial.
The most serious charge to be
made is that of murder against Mir
ME Hazelbridge, a negro woman, who
is alleged to have killed another ne
gro m across the tracks some
time last August. The murdered
woman is said to have gone to the
house for her trunk when a dispute
arose as to its ownership. The Ha-
zelbridge woman whipped out a gun
and killed her adversary instantly.
Another case which will attract
considerable attention is that of G.. A.
Hileman, charged with grand larceny.
1t is alleged that he stole a number
of horses which he shipped to Hi
nois. Soon afterward he skipped out
and was not heard of for a year or
two. Finally Sheriff McDaniels To-
Gated him and brought him back.
Sam Green will probably be dis
posed of at this term of court. He has
been up for trial twice on the charge
of grand larceny. There are five
different charges against him.
Other cases will come up as fol-
lows:
State of Wyoming VS.. Frank j.

Figuring on an Electric Light Plant.

NJ. Rasmussen, a machinist and cleo
%trician, employed in the electric light
plant at Rawlins, was up this week to
look the ground ove about an electric
light plant for this place. He seem
ed to be very fayorably impressed
with the outlook for the town and, if
he can get any encouragement from
the citizens here, he will put in a
plant.
Mr.. Rasmussen, who is an expert
electrician, as well as a machinist,
said that he put in a plant for a Colo
RADIO town which gave good satisfact
ion on the plan of having each sub
scriber put up six months pay in adj
vance, the money not to be turned
over to him until the plant had been
in successful operation ten days.
Nj. Rasmussen left for Rawlins Tues
day, but says he will be back shortly
with a proposition to the people here
which he feels confident they will ac-
cept.

LYNCHING IN ARKANSAS.
Negro Fiend Hanged by Furious Mob-fiad
Bad Reputation.

St. Louis. Feb. ga special from
Mena, Ark. says: A mob Of eight
determined men took Peter Bergman,
a desperate negro. ont of the city Jail
at l O. clock this morning and hanged
him to tree. The crime of which
Bergman was accused was an assault
ON q l2.year.old girl, whose condition
ia critical. The masked men met
Night Officer Jones and compelled him
at the point of guns to hand over the
keys and his revolver. Two of them
we're left to guard Jones. while the
others went to the Jail and secured
the negro. About 2 o'clock they re.
turned to where the officer was being
guarded. and gave him his keys and
gun. Then the men quietly disap.
peared without word.
About two months ago this negro at.
tackled an engineer with an AK, nearly
killing him. and he has been guilty Of
numerous other offenses. Prompt &C.
tion was taken by the authorities, but
no clew has been found as to who are
the mem bers of the mob.

A $4,000 SHORTAGE
Discovered in the Books Of the
Oregon Land Office.
IT COVERS THE YEARS 1894 AND 1895
Total Collections in That Period Were $780,.
6S903-O Only $6S,739.3O Has Been
Accounted For as Yet.

Salem, Feb. 22.-The discovery of a
defalcatlon of $50, 949.73 is the sub.
stance of the report made by the Joint
committee appointed to examine the
books and accounts Of the state land
department. The alleged misappro.
priation occurred in 1894 and 1895,
under the administration Of George w.
Davis, as clerk of the board. 1t ap.
pears that the shortage was effected in
various amounts, by taking credit
twice for one payment of money, or by
altering the book entries SOFAS to credit
the clerk with more money than he
had paid. In some cases it is barely
possible that an innocent error was
committed. while in others there is n
plain alteration of the books by eras.
ing one set OF figures and writing in
others.
The committee found no errors in
the accounts of the present administra'
ton, and so reports.
The report is as follows:
"We, your committee appointed
under concurrent resolution No. 5, beg
leave to report as follows:
''That we have checked up the
school funds up to and including 1894.
That for the years 1894 and 1895 we
fl nd that the clerk of the state land
board has collected money to the
amount of $50, 949.73, which said sum
has never been turned over to the state
treasurer. We append statement
hereto annexed and marked Exhibit A,
showing the amounts collected and the
amounts for which the said clerk has
receipts. The balance, as shown. was
never turned over to the treasurer. but
the books were balanced by II number
of false entries. The principal entry
credited the school fund with $780,.
449.94 twice, when he had but one
receipt covering the amount; another
being raise OF So, 600 on receipt OF
the treasurer. and a number OF other
credits for which he held no receipts
eve submit herewith a statement
showing those we have found to date.
There may he others that we have
not found, owing to limited time at
our disposal, having used the greater
part OF our time before we came to
this.
"For the past five years we find all
moneys turned over 10 the treasurer as
by law required. The present officers
have been very kind and obliging to MS,
showing us every courtesy possible.
and furnishing us with all papers and
books requested. In regard to invest.
igation of land matters we beg leave
to say that our work is just fairly com
menced. This is work OF no small
magnitude, and reqires vast amount
OF careful and painstaking work. 1t is
a work of great Importance to the
state, however. and should be attended
to-"

indians Seriously Contemplate Opening Hos.
tiItes-CounciI Meeting Held.

Omaha, Feb. 22.-Information from
direct sources obtained by the World.
Herald, indicate that the Sioux Indians
are seriously contemplating an upris'

for submission to Washington are not
complied with. Several council meet.
ings have already" been held, particu.
larly among the Ogallalla Sioux, and
preparations are now being made for a
great council to select delegates to
Washington. Owing to desire to
avoid sensationalism, the gatherings
of the small councils have been given
little notice, but the aspect is now
considered grave.
Recent orders of the Indian commits
sioner are responsible, say the Indians,
for their attitude. One chief openly
declares hostilities will begin ii relief
is not forthcoming. The trouble is
over the cutting down Of supplies and
a claim unpaid for ceding of the Black
Hills.

regarding the attitude Of Germany.
that her claims must be paid in cash
before the evacuation takes place. The
other ministers resent this. saying il
will be impossible for China to pay.
as China has not large reserve. and
the customs receipts 60 to pay dividends
upon 70, mer loans. and it Is not prob.
able that she could borrow y sum OF
great magnitude.
