Laramie to Treat Them-Mother
Of the Children Delivered of a Son

Recovering and Mother Doing
Well.

DR.. Swigart returned today from
Bosler, where he had been hastily sum
moned yesterday afternoon to treat
the family of Daniel Bradley, the sec.
ton foreman for the Union Pacific al
that place. Mrs. Bradley was delivered
of a SOL yesterday afternoon, and the
mother and babe, when the doctor left
them this morning, were doing as nice,
ly as could have been wished.
The three children OF Mr.. and Mrs
Bradley, ranging in age from u to
years, were i'll from eating spoiled
nuts, and the are of the physician was
directed to them while he was attend.
ing their mother in her confinement.
The children had been given a sup.
ply Of nuts for their Christmas treat,
and it is believed that some of these
were spoiled so that their stomachs
were poisoned from eating them.
1t is known from whom the nuts
were purchased, but no blame attaches
to the salesman, as he could hardly
have foreseen that the nuts would pro
duce serious results when eaten by the
little ones.
The children we're made quite sick
and the physician was hastily sum.
moned. spending the night with the
family and returning to the city on a
freight train today. He had been call
ed to Sand creek late Saturday night
and had just gotten home and settled
down yesterday when the summons
came from Bosler, and when he reach
ed the city this morning he was him
self well nigh exhausted with fatigue.
When he left the Bradley children
they were doing we'll as could be ex-
pected and all were considered out of
danger from the poisoning.

The new time card is working to the

added minutes giving them a decided
advantage.
The new time card went into effect

late during Sunday. Today they were
reported on time.
T. J.. Wiche, division engineer for the
Colorado and Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific, arrived from Denver
last night and registered at the Thorn
burgh.
Train No. 3 arrived promptly on time
and No 4 was only a few minutes late,

Chief Dispatcher NJ. F. White and
wife returned last Friday from an ex
tended visit to Chicago and Peoria,
Illinois. They were accompanied as
far as Evanston by the father, mother,
nephew and niece of Mrs. White, who
we're en- route to Salt Lake. The niece,
a prepossessing young lady, will be
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. White dur
ing the winter.-Evanston News-Regis

Peter Fisher, an old time Laramie
boy, and for the past ten years cashier
for the Pacific express company at Og
den, has been promoted to chief clerk
in the office of Superintendent Rogers
Of that company at Salt Lake. The
new position gives added salary ant
more responsibility. The Republican
congratulates Peter.
It is officially given our that 1t is
the intention Of the Laramie, Hahn's
Peak and Pacific Railroad company
owing to many important mining dis
coveries and developments Of the pres

line, and that the system will be strict

There are some very persistent ru-
mors afloat in Ogden to the effect that
some radical and important changes
are about to occur in railroad circles.
1t is stated that soon after January
list these changes will go into effect.
None Of the officials here will give out
anything definite. Some, however, de-
ny that anything of the kind is to oc-
cur, but all admit that they do not
know. The persistent form of the sto-
ry is found among the employees,
clerks, etc, who are secretly discuss.
ing the matter among themselves.
AS rumors has it, the Hartman
syndicate, which owns both tn. South
ern and Union Pacific roads. has under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of com.
bining the Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific. with headquarters now
at Evanston, and the Salt Lake di-
| vision of the Southern Pacific, with
headquarters at Ogden, and that Su.
perintendent Noble will have charge.
The probability that ouch a move
will be made is urged by the fact that
a mere extension of seventy miles
the distance from Evanston TO Ogden
would bring all this business east and
west of Ogden to one general head
quarters aid could thus be much more
easily handled. If such a plan were
carried out, it would mean a general
shaking up in local railroad circles.
The shops at Evanston would be clos
ed and the work all done in the big
Southern Pacific shops here. and many
changes in official circles here would
likewise occur.

American salmon Gamers Advantages
The enormity of our salmon output
this year has played havoc with the
British fisheries, for in Canada the
law does o permit the use OF traps.
In Washington and Oregon traps are
used, so that the American fisheries
are able to furnish salmon to the Ca
madam canneries for 2 and 3 cents a
fish, where the canneries used to pay
the Canadians from 10 to 10 cents.
