Evangelist Rankin ut the Presbyterian
Church.

When Rev. II. w. Rankin comes to
town he stirs things up. Last Sun
day began a new era for the Presby-
terrain church.
The spirited preaching of the Evan
gelist and the lively singing of the
people led by James Lynch, drew
quite a crowd, and at the evening ser
vice the church was filed to over
flowing. Some went away who
couldn't get seats. In the afternoon
the Sunday school was r~eorganized
with a very fair attendance. A new
class was organized known as the
Young Peoples class. All the young
people in town are invited to join
this class. Mr.. Lynch will teach this
class next Sunday. Sunday school
meets at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The Young Peoples Society OF
Christian Endeavor was started OIL
again with quite a showing. Next
Sunday there will be a meeting fol-
men only at 3 o'clock, p. IN. All men
are cordially invited to come. The
address will be for men.
Encourage the effort to have a live
church in our midst by attending
these meetings each night at 7;3O
o'clock.

The Fence Question.
lift

Brother Middaugh of the Wheat
land World in an excellent article on
the Spaugh fence case ends up thus:
snow, however, since the ball has
opened the question arises as to how
far the law is to be invoked7 Most
stockmen are willing to smoke the
pipe of peace-after a few of their
neighbors have been pinched-but
naturally the pinched ones will have
no use for the pipe; "a tomahawk will
be their hope instead. A man with
his corns trod all out of shape can
hardly be expected to wea his
neighbors tight-fting shoes and
smile and look pleasant. There are
in fact some Is more complaints al.
ready filed in the United States Court
and Judge Riner promises to have
an all winters job.
"Old-timers though see hope in the
situation by pointing out the fact
that these anti.fence commissions
have occurred before and the patient
readily recovered as soon as a little
of the disturbing bile had been stuff
ed off the public stomach"

Broke His Leg.

Word was received here this morn
ing that George w. Pierson, foreman
of the Bell Telephone gang of line
men, who was here a few days ago,
had the misfortune to break his leg
between Collins and Pearl yesterday
evening. His horse fell with him and
his leg was caught between the horse
and the ground. He rode three
miles to Pearl, at which place be now
is, after his leg was broken.

Eneampmen. Shelter Frore up Again.

Word comes from Encampment,
just as we go to press, that the smell
ter at that place is again idle, having
been "froze up" by reason of there
not being enough sulphide in the ore
used. 1t is quite unfortunate that
the smelter should again shut down,
as it will no doubt have a very de-
pressing tendency on the stock of
that institution. Saratoga, as we'll as
Encampment, feels every such draw
back like the mercury in the Their
mometer and we regret the smelter's
stoppage very much.
