The Legislative committee appointed
a few days ago to MAKE IN investiga-
tioi of the old and the new penitenti-
aries and to determine what must be
done before the prisoners can be re-
moved to Rawlins, arrived in Laramie
last night. Yesterday was spent in
looking over the new prison at Raw
Inns, and all this forenoon the commit
tee spent with Lessee Boswell at the
institution here.
The committee consists of Senators
Black Of Laramie county and Thomas
Of Big Horn county, and representa-
tives Black Of Uinta, Dinwiddie of
Sheridan and Gray of Converse. They
were accorded a thorough inspection
of the prison here, and the methods of
taking care of the prisoners and guard
ing them were explained. Mr.. Boswell
and the warden pointed out certain
things that are absolutely necessary
at Rawlins before the institution will
be a safe and convenient prison.
The committee will report to the leg
islature in a day or two and upon the
action taken on that report will de.
pend the time to be set for the removal
of the prisoners.

WYOMING
Boston and Detroit Capitalists Put $4O,.
900 in Battle Lake Mines.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 21.-RepTesen-
tative Fishback of Rawlins is being
congratulated upon a successful min
ing deal in which he is the lucky man.
Seven mining claims near the Ferris
Haggerty were sold by him this week
to a syndicate of Detroit and Boston
capitalists. The purchase price of the
property is $40, O00, to be paid in in
stallments extending over two years
from date.
The eastern parties will put IN a
force of men and develop the proper
ties thoroughly. The claims are re-
ported TO be on a contact similar to-
the famous Ferris-Haggerty and the
new owners will spend SIS, O00 to dem
onstrate the existence of a vein of rich
copper ore which they expect to find
within 300 feet of present depth.
Mr.. Fishback is also about to close
a deal for the purchase of the Mutual
property, now owned by Governor
Richards and others. The property is
to be opened up by practical mining
men of Colorado Springs if the deal
goes through.
The future of the Battle Lake dis
trict is now being made certain by
these sales in connection with the
magnificent ore now being shipped by
the Doane and the Ferris aggcrty.
There is no question but that more
money will be invested during the pres
ent season than even before.

Senator Warren arrived here this
morning from Washington and will re-
main until after the reception. With the
exception of a dignified limp, caused
by a slight attack of rheumatism, the
senator is in good health.
Although Senator Warren's election
to succeed himself in the United States
senate has at no time been in doubt,
he nevertheless feels deeply the honor
conferred upon him of an unanimous
choice at the hands Of the republican
members OF the legislature. He is not
wanting in gratitude and the object Of
the reception at Turner hall next Mon
day evening is to enable him to shake
hands with the members of the legis-
lature and the people Of Wyoming.

ington are in good shape" said the
senator to a representative Of The
Republican. "Of course we regret the
fact that the lower house could not be
made to see the great importance to
the nation at large Of the reclamation
of the arid lands, but in time they will
be convinced and will then accord to
us our rights. We hope to be able to
pass through the senate with the riv-
er and harbor bill my amendment ap-

WANTED HERE FOR TIE SIDING
AFFAIR HAS BEEN CAPTURED
IN CHEYENNE.
One Of Two Men Arrested There Last
Night in Connection With the Mail
Robbery of Last Monday Morning
Turns Out to Be the Fellow Who
Robbed AshIand's Saloon.

The lone robber who held up the
Ashland saloon at Tie Siding a few
days ago has been caught in Cheyenne
and Sheriff Cook will go over this ev'
ening to have a look at him. The Chey
enne officers want him also, if there is
any hope Of connecting him with the
robbery of a mail sack at the Cheyenne
depot last Monday morning.
The robbery of the saloon was a bold
piece Of work. There were a dozen
men in the saloon, besides the bar.
tender. The hold-up lined the men up,
with their hands in the air, and then
took SIG cash, a gold watch and a re,
volver.
The number on a watch taken from
the fellow arrested in Cheyenne cor.
responds with that on the watch stolen
in Tie Siding.
The mail pouch affair was sensation.
al because of the daring Of the robber,
and up to last night no clew had been
obtained to his identity.
Two men suspected of having been
implicated in the mail robbery were
arrested at the Cheyenne depot last
night about ten o'clock. They closely
resembled the description given of the
two men seen at the place where the
mail sack was rifed, by negros passing
by. They were attempting to leave
the city on a train made up Of empty
gravel cars. A car repairer first dis
covered them and notified Policeman
Dave Lyle. He at once started to the
point indicated by the car repairer, and
was Joined upon the platform by Off,
9 Black. Upon arriving at the gray.
ell train n of the men was found ly-
ing upon the small platform which pro-
jects from each end Of the dump
cars. He was nabbed by Lyle, but
made an attempt to slide of on the
other side of the train and get away,
but came to time when he saw the
large muzzle of a small six-gun point
ed in his direction. The other man had
hid underneath the same a but was
quickly pulled out by Black. He made
no resistance. Both men were taken
to the city Jail and locked up for the
time being. They denied ever having
seen each other before, each claiming
that he was travelling on his own hook.
One is a big hulking fellow over six
feet tall, and the other a little man.
The big man is the one who tried to
get away. They disclaim any knowl-
edge Of the mail robbery whatever.
