Dick England In Trouble.

A dispatch from Medicine Bow dat
ed the 18th says:
For several days past Richard Eng
land, a resident of Medicine bow, has
been annoying G. A. Zahnier, a teach
er in the Medicine Bow public schools.
Yesterday evening about 5 o'clock
England, in company with several
others, met the teacher on his way
home from school. England assault
ed Zahnier, who promptly knocked
England down twice and when the
others attempted to come to assist
England, Zahnier asked them to come
one at a time and he would protect
himself, but the assailants desisted
from further attack. This morning
as Zahnier was on his way to school
England met him with a gun and
drove the teacher back to the house.
Later as Zahneir was on his way to the
telegraph office to notify the authorl-
ties in Rawlins, England pointed u
gun at him and commanded him to
stop or he would shoot. Parties liv-
ing near by ran out and prevented
what might have been a cold blooded
murder.
County Attorney Merrill went down
to Hanna yesterday and gave Eng
land a hearing before the Justice of
the peace at hal place.
After listening to the evidence the
justice sentenced him to serve 30 days
in the county Jail and pay a fine of
SIS.
England is now in the county iail
serving his sentance.

CITY IMPROVEMENT.
Bridge and First Streets to be Grad
e~d-Contract let to William Norrell.

The town council let the contract
for grading Bridge street, from the
east side of River street, west to the
west side of Third street and First
street from the north side of Bridge
street to the center Of Spring street.
The contract calls for the movement
of 1889 yards of diff and the contract
price is 81, 775.5O
The grading of portions of Bridge
and First streets will require the fill
ing in of a great deal of earth and
this will be taken from River street,
out of the hill just south of the brick
yard. The removal of this dirt will
expedite the opening up of River
street south through Riverside and
Highlands additions, thus accomodat-
ing the travel to Encampment and
the upper country.
1t is understood that there will be
considerable work done on River
street. The building up of Riverside
addition has interfered with the coun-
ty road running south and, when the
river rises travel will be crowded out
of the low road now used, and it can
find no outlet except by means of the
opening up of River street.
There is a good deal of feeling in
some quarters because River street
was not included in the proposed i'm
provement, it being claimed, and very
justly, that it was used far more than
First street. But it is quite likely
that the council will open up and put
that street also in good condition be-
fore they cease operations.
There were two other bids besides
that of Mr.. Norrell. j.. C. Brewer
put in a bid for S 1,SOO.OO and George
W. Sisson one for S1,S75,O0.
Mr.. Norrell commenced operations
Tuesday morning. He has put in a
good substantial bridge across the
ditch, at the brick yard, on River
street and it would be economy for
the city to buy it when he is through
with his work, as it will be just where
it will be needed. After the required
amount of dirt is removed from
River street the work of opening it up
for travel will be very light. 1t is
quite likely, also, that the property
owners in that vicinity will be willing
to help the city in its work of grading
and preparing this street for use.

Two large six horse ore teams of
Bert Lee and Bert Cleveland passed
through here this week on their a
to the railroad, loaded with ore from
the Rambler coppermine. One team
had 1000 and the other 1900
pounds. There had been a few warm
days and the roads were heavy, max
ing the loads the heaviest they had
yet drawn. A great deal of ore is
now being mined by the Rambler
people and the contractors expect to
put on several more teams in a few
days to keep the ore out of the way
of the miners. The winter has been
an exceptionally fine one for freight
ing and no time has been lost ON ac-
count of bad weather.
1t is said that more ore has been
moved since the present company got
hold of the mine than all the time it
had been worked before.

mense advantage in the way of puri-
flying the order and adding to it in a
social way in the strongest manner.
