til Monday, when a pretty general
rain checked them and. for a time,
it was thought to have put them
out. AS we go to press they have
broken out again and are now un-

death at Copperton, a short time
ago, was taken before Justice
Mathison for a preliminary hear

went before the clerk of the district

a criminal complaint charging
murder. Esteb will be held under

grass fed steers for the Bloom Cat
tie Co, Malta, Mont. lat the remark
able figure of $500 per 100 lbs,
the highest ever paid for straight
range cattle on any market. The
price is 40 cts. higher than the Kee.
line Wyomings realized on July
22nd, aud that much above the
previous record price of 1882.
Needless to say the sale excited
much comment and the cattle at
tracted plenty of attention. The
price is Sl.l5 above last seasons

Andy Olson, manager of the tie
camp of the Carbon Timber Com
pany. on the south fork of the En-
campment, was down from that
place this week. He says that a
fire got away from a sheep camp
in the vicinity of his headquar-
tiers and that he had Il force of
% men out fighting it for the past
week. Mr.. Olson said it had not
done very much damage as yet,
as it was burning in an old burnt
district, right on top of the range,
and that he had been able, so far,
to keep it out of the body of 1000
acres of fine tie timber, belonging
to the Timber company, which
is just over the range near Hog
Park. Mr.. Olson said the Com
pany had spent five or six hundred
dollars in fighting the fire and
they were looking anxiously for
the Government to take steps
looking toward its control.

Look Out for Typhoid Fever.

The extremely low stage of wa
ter in the Platte river, upon which
all of the wells in the fiat depend,
is likely to create an epidemic of
Typhoid fever here again similar
to what we had here a few years
ago. The wells in the bottom are
simply sewer traps, into which
the water from the surface, clos
cts and stables drain and during a
very low stage of water, as at the
present time, using the waters of
these wells can have but one re-
suit, Typhoid fever. People use
the water from these wells at their
peril.

Down From the Syndicate.

came in from the Syndicate mine
yesterday. Mr.. Harrison is work
ing at the Syndicate and Bryan at
the Gold Coin, which is situated
in the Slavery country.
The Syndicate is being pumped
out at the present time, and it is
thought it will be ready to re-
sumo development work in a short
time. There is an eastern party
here looking over the ground with
IA view to purchasing, although
no definite arrangements have
been made yet. This mine is an
excellent proposition and has
shown up well in copper from the
surface.

Did the Goose Eat the Mani

A man by the name of Kay
Hargrave recently shot a wild
goose, in Pass creek BASIN, in the
the craw of which he found a
shirt studd with brilliant settings.
One of the settings was gone, but
there remained six others, all in
tact. OF the many strange arti-
cles found in the craws of wild
fowls this certainly is one of the
strangest. Has any one lost "A
man? We have not heard of anv
person being missed.

Broke Collar Bone.

Last Thursday Orville Housley.
the little three year old boy of w.
H. Housley, had his collar bone
broken by the overturning of a
hay rack in which he and his faith
er were riding. Mr.. Housley was
driving up to the scales at the
lumber yard, when a strong gust
of wind caught the rack and turn
ed it over three times before it
stopped. When Mr.. Housley got
to the child he was laying on his
face unconscious and he carried
him to the drug store of Ashley
d Devine, where he was soon
brought around and the fracture
reduced. The rack evidently
turned upside down and dropped
both Mr., Housley and the little
fellow out without touching either
one of them, and the shock of the
fall was what did the mischief.

Hark G PauIson came over
from Pass creek basin Saturday.
he is wearing a blister three inch
es long, on his forehead, the re-
suit of a stroke of lightning re-
ceived Friday, while rak;ng hay
on his ranch. There was a small
cloud floating overhead at the
time aud a few drops of rain fell.
when a bolt of lightning struck
the rake tongue. demolishing It.,
cutting the neck yoke in two, de-
molishing the rake, even twisting
the spokes out of the wheels. Mr..
Pau!son was knocked unconscious
and fell down at the horses heels.
but soon came to. The horses
walked off a short distance, very
little harmed, when one of them
laid down and rolled around for
awhile, evidently trying to shake
off the effects of the bolt.
The tongue of the rake was
split all to pieces and the rake
otherwise so badly broken up that
it cannot be repaired. Mr.. Paul
o had only five or six tons o
of hay to put up, so he borrowed
a rake from his neighbor, George
