ARM NEARLY SEVERED.
Workman on Wyoming Ranch Is At
tackled by the Manager.
Especial to The Herald.)


Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 5.-A serious
cutting ARRAY occurred at the P. o.
ranch, eight miles from Cheyenne. It
is alleged that Manager Edgar Boice
Of the Arbuckle ranches, and sta bIes in
this city, had an alteration with his
haying hands. One of these men.
Charles Scenewark. is alleged to have
been attacked by BOice, who was armed
with a sharDened sickle. Scenewark
put I'D his arm to ward off blow
aimed at his head, and received a ter
rible slash.
The razor edge of the sickle pene-
trated the bone of the wrist and almost
severed the hand from the arm. Scene
wark is alleged to have taken to his
heels. with BOice in pursuit. Scene
wark received another slash on the
cheek before he could get out of reach
of the manager.
Eight of the men employed at the
ranch quit and came to town. Some Of
these men say that BOice's attack was
unwarranted. while others say Scene
wark picked UP a whiffietree and was
making for BOiCe when the latter de-
Tended himself with the sickle. The
matter will probably be aired in the
courts.

The new arrangement pleased the la
borers very much. and there was no
doubt that the contracting company for
this class of municipal work had
reached the conclusion that the men
could accomplish more for their en-
ployers on an eight-hour basis at S1.75
a day than on a basis, practically, of
ten hours labor at 81 per day.
Inasmuch as the construction COM
