WHISTLES
PLAY HAVOC WITH THE PEACE
Full DREAMS OF AN ASSIST
ANT SUPERINTENDENT.
Heard the UnearthIy Blowing Of the
Steam Whistle at the Rolling Mills
at 4 o'clock This Morning and
Thought There Had Been a Wreck
Other Railroad Notes.

A good one is told at the expense Of
Division Superintendent w. H. Sheri-
dan Of Green River, who came down
from the yes early yesterday morning
and went to sleep in his room at the
Thornburgh to await the arrival of
daylight.
At Green River there is a system Of
signals by the steam whistle at the
Union Pacific shops to rout out the
wreckers in case Of tcouble along the
line One set of whistles notifies the
wrecking boss that the trouble is west
and the other that there is need for
his outfit east of Green River.
Mr.. Sheridan was sound asleep
when the rolling mills blew the shift
signal at 4 o'clock in the morning, and
as this signal is somewhat like the
wreck signal at Green River. the first
long blast awoke the lively superin-
tendent, and a paid fireman could not
have gotten into his clothes with more
agility than did the alert railroader
from the furthest edge of Uinta DUN
ty. He was down the steps and out
into the yards before one could wink
three times, and it was minutes before
he found that the whistles were to
awaken mill hands and notify them
that they were needed at the mill and
not that there had been a wreck on
the road with about six freight and two
or three passenger trains in the ditch.
He told the joke on himself, but Mr..
Whitney coaxed him to Albert Ro-
sine's for a little on the side just the
same. Mr.. Sheridan went to Cheyenne
yesterday. and last night Superin-
tendent Park heard the story and Sher-
idan had another pressing invitation
from the boys"

could be desired and the music and
funny jokes by the two funny men,
Baldwin and Fred P. Russell. were
features of the performance. Great
applause was given at different times
during the play. and several encores
were ELECTED. The show is one Of tho
best that has been seen at the Denver

is considerably larger than when in this

novelty barrel act, are far above the

HANSON

STATE PRISON.

day, This Time FOR the Theft Of
Fine Overeoat from the Office Of
Physician at Cheyenne.

Chris Hanson, at m time a barber
in this city, and whose family still re-
side here. is thus spoken Of in Mon
days issue of the Cheyenne Leader:
Chris Hanson, who during the past
few months has become the most no
torious prisoner in Laramie county,
aside from Tom Horn, is again in Gus
tody and this time will have to serve
a term in the state ~penitentiary for his
crime.
Hanson was released from the coun-
ty Jail Friday afternoon and after en-
joying just forty-eight hours of lib
erty. was again placed behind the bars
ceny.
Sunday morning, while DIR. J. II.
Conway and wife were attending
church. some one entered the physi.
clans Office and stole a fine chinchilIa
fur overcoat valued at $25. The jan
itress of the block saw Hanson come
OUT VI Tie uOCtoT s OIllCe, DuL LnOuSn
nothing of the matter until DR.. and
Mrs. Conway returned at noon, when
the loss was discovered and the police
notified. The janitress told what she
knew of the case and the police soon
traced the overcoat to a house on Ed,
dy street where Hanson had taken it.
Hanson was shortly afterwards arrest
ed, but stoutly denied his guilt in
spite of the strong evidence against
him.
Under the law the theft Of property
less than s25 is petit larceny, but in
Hanson's case it is grand larceny, as
the law also says a second conviction
of petit larceny is punishable by the
same penalty Is grand larceny, and
hence he is a candidate for the state
penitentiary.
Hanson was arrested about a year
ago for stealing a bicycle and later
created a sensation by trying to COM
NIT suicide in his cell.

LENOIR'S PROGRESS.

Lenoir's celebration upon the compile
ton of the broad-guaged railroad was an
event that drew thousands to that pro-
g~ressiye town. Speeches We're made, there
was a big industrial parade, and a de-
lightful occasion. Mayor Edmund Jones
delivered the address OF welcome in the
course of which he said:
The narrow-gauge railroad did much
for our town. Within the last eighteen
years the business has increased from
s75, 600 to over 81, $50, 900 per annum The
population has increased from 42O to L.
700, all within a brief mile of the court
house.
Il want it recorded that I declare
that this change is largely due to one
man-Maj. G.. w. F. Harper. He took hold
of the narrow gauge road when it had
nothing but debts and two streaks Of
dust. He built it into a first-class road
and added fifteen miles to it's length. We
are grateful to him"
That is a splendid showing of progress
of one of the best towns in Western North
Carolina, and a deserved and graceful
tribute to the great service rendered that
section by Col. Harper. enc Of the best
men in North Carolina.

amalganation of the American Tobacco
Trust and the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany was likely. He said the situation
had not yet developed sufficiently to al
low of giving details. Another leading
manufacturer said:
Such amalgamatiOn has been regard
ed all along as inevitable by many of
US, although it was hardly expected so
soon. If ovartures have been made there
is no doubt they have come from the
Americans, who did not expect so tough
a fight on this side as they have exper-
fenced. They have not been clustering
lately and l quite understand that they
lave been looking for ways to get out of
the present mess"
To another interviewer Mr.. Frankel
said the government was not satisfied

developments were pending which would

ARE THE TRUST TO UNITE.

There was a report current in Raleigh
yesterday that the American Tobacco
Company and the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany had agreed upon a combination,
merger, or a community of interests,
and would not hereafter buy tobacco in
competition.
That report sent 4 shive~ down the
hacks of tobacco farmers who have been
getting better prices for their tobacco
this fall than heretofore, chiefly because
OF the competition between the Ameri-
can and Imperial companies. They reco1-
lect the slump in the market that fol-
lowed the organization OF the American
Tobacco Company, and il the Imperial
and American unite or have IL COM
munity Of interests they fear d rcpeti-
ton OF the low prices that made tobacco
farmers either abandon the cultivation Of
the leaf or work at starvation wages.
The latest news that can BE- gathered
is that representatives OF the trusts have
been IN conference. and that IAN agree
ment is Improbable" But nobody can
tell what viii occur. Let Us hope that
they will not stihc competition.
