the fish law as to the Ohio river Is

SMALL P0x At ENCAMPMENT.
Six Cases Picked up Walking the Streets
Of That City and 2e Cases Re-
ported on the List Lax Quarantine
Enforcement.

DIR. Burke, health officer for
this valley, made a trip to the
ranch of Charles A. Kenpaday
last Tuesday and found him suf-
fering with small pox. AS the en-
tire family had been exposed to
the disease, the doctor promptly
vaccinated dhem all and placed
them in quarantine.
1t is reliably reported here that
there are 20 cases of small pox in
the city of Encampment and all
public gatherings have been pro-
hiblted by the city council. 1t is
said that five cases we're picked
up off the streets, that were walk
ing abroad, infested with the dis
ease. 1t was in Encampment, OF
the tie camp of the Carbon Tim.
Der Co, on the head of the south
fork of Encampment river, that
Mr.. Kennaday contracted the dis
ease.
1t seems to us that there is not
as strict an enforcement of quar-
antine laws in some localities as
there should be, This applies es-
pecially to the towns above here,
where the local members of the
medical fraternity, deceived by
the mildness of the disease, have
been rather inclined to scott at the
idea that it WAS the real, genuine
article, called smallpox.
If there had been as strict an
observance of the quarantine law
as there has been in the town of
Saratoga tine disease would have
been promptly stamped out. But,
so long as the disease breeds in
spots in the valley, just so long
will it continue to spread over the
valley. The local health officer
for this town, DR.. Burke, has been
most vigorous in his enforcement
of quarantine laws, and in conse-
quence every case in the town end
surrounding country has been
stopped where it was found and
nos allowed TO do any further
damage.

WALCOTT NEWS.

Postm ster w. l.. Evans has re-
signed his position here and will
move back to Rawlins. His place
has been filled by Mrs. Mary Full
Ter. who moved up from Carbon
IN Monday aud took charge Of the
office.
The addition to the Walcott
Hotel is nearing completion aud
the house will be able to accom-
MEDIATE the travelling public from
this time on. The new rooms are
large and comfortable, the beds
and bedding are new and of good
material and altogether the hotel
is now in shape to make its guests
quite comfortable.
Some little excitement was ere.
ated here Monday morning by the
overturning Of the large stage
coach of Scribner. G. Nj. Wilcox,
the driver, had just driven the
coach up in front of the store of
Cosgriff Bros. Co, when an en-.
CINE rushed out from behind some
cars on the side track. The horses
jack knitted on Charley, upset
the coach, drug the front wheels
out from under the coach and ran
off a short distance and stopped.
Mr.. Wilcox was thrown violently
to the ground but escaped with a
eve shaking up which made
him very sore. The only damage
to the coach was a broken tongue
and a shattered pair of lead bars.
Fortunately there were nc passen-
gers on the coach. Another

electric lights which would be the
finishing touch, but these they do
not feel they can afford.
Rev. Brundage is greatly pleas
ed with the ~liberality the people
have shown in contributing to the
addition. He believes the people
of the west can be depended upon
when funds are needed for such a
cause, wen those who do NOT at

money has had to be borrowed
from without but he says the peo-
Pile Of Saratoga have done SPLEEN

one and all. regardless of creed or
belief, to the church which their
generosity has made possible.
The choir is doing good work
and it is intended to make the en-
tire service more beautiful and at.
tractive than ever before, which
can be done now since the new
hymn books have been purchased
and psalter readings, responses,
&c. can be used.
Rev. Brundage has worked hard
and persistently and has accom-

Of Masonic Lodge Postponed.

Owing to the presence of small
pox in Encampment the institu-
ton of the Masonic Lodge of that
place, which was to have taken
place tomorrow night, has been
postponed. A number of Masons
from this place, as we'll AS from
other points, expected to attend
and a very pleasant time was an-
ticipated at the ceremonies and
the banquet which was to have
followed. 1t is hoped the ceremo-
MES will come off before long, but
1t will probably be a month at
least before the event will take
place.

rabid democrat, he did say many
things that not only pleased his
republican hearers but also help
ed the doubling voter to see his
way clear to support the republi.
can ticket.
Perry l.. Smith. the chairman
OF the county central committee
was then called to the front and
in a ten minutes talk. intersperc-
ed with wit and sarcasm, kept the
audience in a roar of laughter.
His description Of his idea of the
trust question WAS decidedly
amusing. Though the hour was
late the crowd would willingly
have listened to his funny re-
marks for an indefinite time.
The Saratoga Brass Band, which
had been in evidence all the even
ing. having played several pieces
before the opening of the meeting,
then took the stage and PLAYED
while the distinguished visitors
went down among the audience
and INDUCED in social converse
with the people. The seats we're
cleared away and dancing was in
dulged in until midnight, when
the crowd dispersed.
The meeting Was a very pleas
ant aud successful one from every
point of view and will do much
good.
1t was the intention of the par
ty of speakers to go up to En-
campment and hold a meeting at
that point yesterday evening, but
they received word that the meet
ing had been called off ON account
of the smallpox scare. They left
early Wednesday morning for
Hanna where the meeting billed
for that place had been rut for

Held up Saloon.

j. j. Bohan WAS arrested last
Saturday on complaint of G.. w.
Plummer, and was arraigned be-
fore Judge Heath. He waived
preliminary examination and was
placed under $3.50 bonds to APP

Inns to the county Jail Tuesday

1t seems that Bohan had enter
ed Plummer's saloon in the e

pearance of a huge joke to Jack,

Superintendent of Public In-
struction Thomas L lyman, was
the first speaker introduced to the
audience. His address lasted on
ly fifteen minutes and was listen
ed to with marked attention. He
dealt principally with the duties
of his Office and the great increase
in its business during the past
four years.
Governor Richards followed with
a speech of twenty minutes. which
was of great interest, as it was the
plain and simple statement of a
business mar who had endeavor-
ed to carry his successful business
methods into the government of
the affairs of the state and had
succeeded to the entire s~atisfac-
ton of every one.
Secretary of State, F. Chatter

among his own people and felt the
influence of the great friendship
and esteem in which his ability
and integrity was held. Many
remarked that it was the best
speech they had ever heard him
make.
Senator G. ID. Clark was then

MINING NEWS FROM
THE UPPER COUNTRY.
New Strike in Hog Park Of Copper Ore
That Will Ruu SO per oent.-cascads
People Have Cut Their vein-Fsrris-
Haggarty People at work-Doans
Rambler Active.

Earle X. Clemens, the editor of
the Encampment Herald, passed
through Saratoga yesterday on
his way to visit friends and rela-
tives in Michigan. While here
he visited The Sun office and talk
ed interestingly of the mining in
terests of his country.
"There has been a new find
made in Hog Park" said Mr..
Clemens, that has stirred up a
great deal of interest in our town,
of late. A three foot vein of ore
has been cut in the shaft, at a
depth of So feet, the returns of
which show 36 per cent. in cop
per. The find is considered to be
a very important one by our peo-
pie and has stimulated prospect-
ing there very much.
"The Cascade people, whose
property lies five or six mile south
OF Encampment, have cut the
hanging wall of their vein i'll the
tunnel, at 425 feet, showing IA
body of good concentrating ore of
eight feet in thickness. They
will run the tunnel in 400 feet,
further, as they are on the vein.
THE Ferris Haggarty people
have a force of forty men at work,
tearing down the old buildings at
the mine and building new ones
at the month of the tunnel.
"The Doane Rambler is doing
preliminary work on that mine,
such as laying new track, etc,
getting ready to take out ore for
the shipment when the time ar
riyes."
Mr.. Clemens did not commit
himself to the proposition, but it
is quite certain that he will be
trotting in double harness when
he returns.

DEMOCRATS WOULD
DlSFRAhCHISE VOTERS,
Chairman Hammond Says he is Going to
Have the Polls Watched and Prosecute
Every Illiterate voter-women Of nc
Consequence.

The following dispatch from
Cheyenne to the Denver Republi-
can of the 9th inst, speaks for
itself. 1t will make interesting
reading for the miners, sheep
herders, etc.
AT the close of the Democratic
county convention of Converse
county yesterday Chairman Ham
mond of the STATE committee deliy-
cred an address in which ls said
it will be the policy of his party
during the coming election to
shut out the vote of all miners
and herders in the state on the
ground of illiteracy, and said that
the party will have spies at every
registration booth in the state,
and as a test make every man
read portions of the constitution
before registering.
IF this could not be done, de-
clared Chairman Hammond, the
name of the man would be taken
and injunction proceedings be
brought before Judge Craig to
prevent these men from voting.
Failing in this, efforts will be
made to swear Judge Craig off the
bench and depend upon Judge
Bremel to issue the injunction.
Chairman Hammond referred
to the of the Democratic
party in the South in disfranchis-
ing the negro voter, and expressed
the belief that the scheme would
work in the cases of miners and
herders of foreign birth in Wyo-
ming.
chairman Hammond also re.
ferred to the women voters in the
state. He said they always voted
with their husbands and fathers
and the women vote was not worth
consulting"
