Tie Siding, Wyo., FEB. 2.-lSpecial
Correspondence of The Republican,
Now that the grounding has emerg,
ed from his siesta long enough to make
faces at the sun, and If the old saying
is true, we're in for another six weeks
of winter, we presume that Brother
Mayes of the Lusk Herald will cease
to MARBLE about glad spring bobolinks,
light summer underwear and house
cleaning.
Chas. Barton gave a dance here last
Friday night, hat was Il bowling sue
cess. wen if the attendance was not
up to the usual number. Everybody
had a good time who came to the hall
before it was time to start home. A
party Of five came from Laramie, via
L~indsey's road ranch. All went merry
as a marriage bell until the wagon
tongue broke and these five lords of
creation fell out in the snow. Then it
was that their minds wandered and
grew hazy as to just what particular
spot in Uncle Sans domain they were
located: in fact they, the sage brush
and other scenery all looked alike. Fer
a time they did not know each other
and each doubted his own identity.
Mr.. Haskell was the first to recover,
for he was wandering aimles :ly about
he stepped on some ice, he sat down
suddenly-very suddenly, and said that
he saw seven million more stars thar
the greatest astronomer ever dream
ed of. Mr.. Haskell introduced himself
and the other gentlemen to each other.
and after the usual compliments and
ty proceeded to the scene of gaiety.
where they arrived at the eleventh
hour. We were profuse and sincere in
our sympathy for the belated knights.
Mr.. Tregoning didn't appear to ap-
p%reciate our efforts in that direction
at all, for he was as calm and dignified
as an old maid when she first looks at
a new baby. For variety, Mr.. Matchett
said he'd match it against anything
else on earth, above earth or below
earth. Mr.. Waldo declared that in all
his life he enjoyed a trip so
much. Well, that may be, but, then,
our confidence in him sorter wobbles
sometimes. Mr.. Buck, our county sur
veyor, couldn't express himself, Just
as he would like, became profanity was
not admissible.
There will be a dance and basket
supper at the home of VIM. Reyes the
14th Of this month. We understand
an invitation is extended to all to bring
your best girl and lunch for two.
Mrs. w. C. Lynde has opened a
boarding house and restaurant in our
city and we hope it will be literally
p%atronized, as Mrs. Lynde has recent
ly suffered severe financial reverses.
We are very much pleased to learn
that Miss Jennie Lane is rapidly recov-
ering and her many friends hope to
see her fully restored to her usual good
health in the nea future.
Mr.. Boyle, our genial Dale creek
ranchman, purchased the cattle be-
longing to Mrs. Foster and drove them
to his ranch last week.
VIM. Maxwell of this city and nr.
Stevens Of Laramie are spending a few
days at the latter's ranch on the Sy-
billie.
The snow is nearly all gone here,
stock suffered very little, if any, during
the recent cold snap. JUNO.
