The first of the year Mr.. T. V. Year
gan became a tenant of Mr.. c. L. Daniel
in East Hayti, near Creedmoor, and had
rather a bad beginning. His plug need

his best to strengthen him up, but he
would. fall into the ditch and have to be
helped out. Finally Col. Corn brought
him around all right and Mr.. Yeargan
made some nine or twelve barrels of
corn and S494 worth of tobacco. During
the year he became yer ylonely and took
unto himself help meet and they live
happily together.

THANKSGIVING IN THE VALLEY,
How the Centennial People Celebrated
the Day.

Monday, Dec. 2, 1901.-tSpecial Cor
rspondence.)-The Centennial Union
Hall was the scene of much merriment
on the evening of November 2Sth.
The evening was perfect; neither cold
nor stormy, and Lady Moon from her
celestial height, did her duty in illum-
mating the way for the weary traveller.
Carriages could be eel coming from
all directions and by 8 p. m. a good big
crowd were assembled and ready for
dancing. Messrs. Bird, McCune. Mar
BILE and Stuart furnished delightful
music for the occasion, and kept three
sets busy till the small hours" Of
morning. At midnight a delicious
lunch was served by the ladies, a mum
Der of the gentlemen kindly taking the
part of walters. The lunch consisted
of rolls. sandwiches. cold turkey and
chicken, cheese, assorted cake and
coffee.
Aside from the valley crowd were no
ticed Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A. Miller and
daughter Zoe from Laramie. Mr.. Fa-
gan from the Little Laramie, Mr.. Ar
thur R. Williams from Morgan and Mr..
Broadhurst from the Ernest ranch.
About 4 a. m. all dispersed with naught
but pleasant memories, and straighten'
ed curls.

OFFICIAL
VISIT OF SUPREME CHANCELLOR
TO BE MADE TO WYOMING
At LARAMIE.
Officers Of Grand Lodge and Members
Of Knights Of Pythlas Of Grand Do
main Of Wyoming to Meet Head Of
the Order in Hall Of Damon Lodge
in This City. -a...s 1000

The visit of Supreme Chancellor Og-
den H. Fethers of GAINESVILLE. Wiscon-
sin, to the grand domain Of Wyoming,
Knights Of Pythias. on the night OF
the 18th, a week from tomorrow night,
will be at Laramie and not at Chey-
enne, Al was at Arst intended and an
nounced, the change having been
brought about as the result of consid-
Ell able correspondence by mail, tele-
graph and telephone between the Off
GERS of the grand lodge in different
parts of the state with Grand Keeper
or Records and Seal C. S. Greenbaum
Of this city.
MI. Fethers, it is understood, is on
his way to San Francisco to arrange
for the next meeting of the supreme
lodge in that city, and can stop in this
state but one night. 1t was at first
decided to have him meet with Chey-
enne lodge, that being the regular
meeting night in that city, when all
the grand officers and members Of the
order in the state would be invited to.
be present and assist in doing honor
to the grand domains honored guest.
1t was remembered that the Wyo-
ming Industrial convention would be
in session in this city at the time Of
the proposed meeting Of the Cheyenne
lodge, and that a large number of the
grand officers and leading members OF
the grand lodge are delegates and will
be in attendance, necessitating their
leaving the convention at it's busiest
time or miss seeing the head of the or
der. - .-. 5a-NA hH
The result Of the long distance COM
m~unication was that the grand chan
cellor, Milton B. Moore, of Saratoga,
directed Grand Keeper of Records and
Seal Greenbaum to issue a circular IN.
viting the members OF the order to
meet Mr.. Fethers at Laramie instead
Of Cheyenne, and this circular is now
in press.
The local lodge will have charge OF
the reception, the program not yet hav-
ing been prepared sufficiently to be
made public. 1t is certain that there
| will be a gathering of members of the
order and a good time, the lodge giving
both the grand and supreme honors.

Richard Whalen, the pioneer ranch
mar of the Platte valley country, Is
in the city, says the Cheyenne Lead
er, and in speaking of the probable ex-
tension of the Burlington west from
Guernsey, said:
Everything in Guernsey indicates
that the road will be built on west
ward; how far 1t is impossible to say,
although it is believed now Laramie is
the objective point.
AT Guernsey the railroad yards are
extensive enough to be used for a
large railroad center and are altogeth-
er o large for the terminal Guernsey
now is. The most Significant fact,
however, is the construction Of the
railroad grade west from that city to
the very banks Of the Platte river.
The abutments are built to the waters
edge and the next work to be done
will be the erection of a railroad
bridge over the river.
1T is evident that this work would
not be done unless it was contemplat-
ed to extend the line as the grade is
not necessary for road use but extends
beyond the yard limits. Moreover, Su-
perintendent Calvin. during a recent
visit to Guernsey, gave orders to hurry
this work up as rapidly as possible.
cat the present time Guernsey is but
a terminal and has no value from
a railroad standpoint as a shipper.
With the extension of the road west
to Laramie it would connect with the
Union Pacific, which now has a con-
trolling interest in the Burlington, and
makes a through line of the Burling-
tons Guernsey extention.,
The line to Laramie would make a
great saving in the hauling Of the iron
ore from the Sunrise mines. The ore
ia about 40 per cent dirt and this has
to be shipped with the ore. 1t is now
thought probable a reduction plant
will be built at Laramie in connection
with the rolling mills, which through
G. F. Gates, who is connected with the
c. F. and l company, would handle the
ore and ship the big product to the
smelter at a greatly reduced cost OF
transportation. In fact those familiar
with the condition of affairs state that
the construction Of the line west to
Laramie at least is an assured fact
and that it is only a question of a
short time when work will be COM
menced."

passed as a juror in the United States

Of this section are attracting marked
attention in Denver, and he predicts
a great influx Of Denver men and mon
ey next spring. The men interested in
mining are beginning to realize the pos,
sibilities of this part Of the state, he
says. and they are going to invade the

g great many expressions concerning
the reports that had reached that city
and answered innumerable inquiries as
to the situation.

Of rich finds as marvellous, and are anx-
ious to see for themselves and verify

OF BILL STARR THE SUBJECT OF
INQUIRY At THE COURT
HOUSE TODAY.
The Mailman overpowered and Hesvi.
iy Ironed in His Cell Last Night
After q Most Terrific Struggle
He Eats and Talks Some Today,
But 10 Still Very Wsak-verdict
Of the Jury. % g

The investigation into the insanity
! Of Bill Starr, the alleged United States
detective, arrested by Sheriff Cook a
week ago today for unlawfully inper-
sonating an oficer, was begun at the
court house this morning, when a num-
Der Of witnesses were examined A
recess was taken at noon until 2
O'Clock, when the hearing before a jury
was resumed.
Starr was more violent last night
than at any time since his arrest, and
it was not until 9 o'clock, after waiting
all evening for him to calm down and
go to sleep, that Sheriff Cook and his
deputies could enter his cell and chain
him down.
There was a terrific fight, and it re-
quired all the strength and cunning the
officers could command to bring the
fellow to terms, and then 1t was subju-
cation akin to that employed in Gag
ing a lion fresh from its native haunts
Starr fought and growled. and would
have torn the men limb from limb If
he could have gotten to them.
The sheriff went to his cell early III
the evening. hoping to find the man
asleep, but he "a raving worse than
ever. At 9 o'clock he had SO quoted
down that the officers thought the
time opportune and they sprang into
the cage. throwing a blanket owe the
mans head before he could rise from
his cot. The Struggle then began, and
for five minutes the Jail officials had
as lively a time as they have gone
through for some months. Starr was
finally h%andcuffed and manacled about
the ankles, SO that he could be handled.
AS soon as the first paroxysm of rage
was over, and he seemed to realize that
he was helpless, he grew SO weak and
| sick that he could not stand, when he
went to sleep and remained SO ill
morning. This morning he seemed
better and about noon asked for some
thing to eat.
The handouts were allowed to re-
main on and one Of the prisoners and
Turnkey Jones assisted him to eat.
He Is still weak. and while he can talk
some, he does not often give vent to
a%rticulate words keeping up his
growing and kissing the greater part
Of the time.
The Jury, consisting of H. D. Beemer,
foreman; Ed Titus, Gus johnson. M. F,
Knadler, Samuel Wallace and George
Eggleston, at 8 O'Clock returned a yer
DICT finding Starr insane, a non-resi'
dent of Wyoming, his residence un'
known. and without estate Of any sort
The order Of the court was that he
be turned over to the authorities of the
state insane asylum. and II he recover
from the malady. that he be returned
to this county for trial on the charge OF
impersonating an ofacer.
Sheriff Cook this afternoon tele
graphed to the warden Of the asylum
at Evanston, and It is thought an ON
Ger from that institution will reach this
city tomorrow and take Starr back
with him during the afternoon.
Starr came to Laramie from the Ea
ton ditch, Colorado, November Is. HI
