Death Of Dr.. schulke.

The death of DIR. julius A.
Schulke, of Thermopolis, while
on the stage enroute to Casper on
August 7th, was a sad affair. DIR.
Schulke was a man of about 43
years of age, very highly educat-
ed, speaking several languages
huently. He was a man of re-
markable energy and possessed of
such charming personal charac-
teristics that he endeared him
self to every one he came in CON
tact with and his death will be
sincerely mourned by every one
who knew him. His death will
also be a great loss to the state,
for he was a man of broad views
and liberal ideas and would have
been of untold value to the state
had he lived. He served with
distinction in the Spanish war
and was appointed to service in
the medical corps of the regular
army, but resigned to identify
himself with the interests of his
adopted state, for which he had
an unbounded enthusiasm

rom HORN AND M'CL0UD
BREAK JAIL SUNDAY.
Recaptured and Returned to Jail Within
Thirty Minutes After Getting out
Horn Captured by Eldridge, Engineer
Of Merry-go-Round.

Last Sunday morning at $40,
Tom Horn and James McCloud..
confined in the Jail at Cheyenne,
broke out of jail and made II des-
perate effort TO escape, but were
captured and returned to their
cells in the Jail within 30 minutes,
somewhat bruised and winded,
and terribly disappointed.
Horn and McCloud were con-
fined in the murderers' cells, on
top of the cells containing the
other prisoners
An iron cage surround these
cells reached by a stairway and a
door. McCloud had called for
water with which to take medicine
and when Deputy Sheriff Rich
ard Proctor,th jailor, unlocked the
cage, to pass it to him, both Horn
and McCloud forced the dooI open
and after a desperate struggle, i'll
which Horn choked Proctor in
sensible, bound Proctor and took
him to the sheritfs office for the
keys with which to make their es-
cape out of the building. Here
McCloud secured a Winchester
rifle, and Proctor got hold of his
gun and another desperate strug-
gle between the jailer and the two
desperate men took place, lasting
several minutes. McCloud left
Horn and Proctor struggling, and
made his escape with the keys
he had succeeded in getting out
of Proctor's pockets. At the
stable he jumped on a horse and
was fast getting out of the town
when he was overtaken and cap
tured and returned to the jail.
Horn finally secured Proctor's
gun, an automatic Belgian piece.
on which the jailor had succeeded
in slipping the safety catch before
surrendering it. Horn tried twice
to kill Proctor by pulling the trig-
ger but could not make the gun
work. He then ran out the back
way to the stable, but not finding
a horse, started eastward and got
as far as Capital Avenue, near the
Central school building, when he
was overtaken and captured by
Q. M. Aldrich, engineer of the
merry-go-round, who vas i'll pur-
suit. Horn was escorted back to
Jail and he and McCloud were
soon back in their old cells, as fast
ms before.
The bravery of Proctor, in fight
ing two big men, with every
chance against him, was some
thing out of the ordinary. He is
a small man, but nervy, and both
Horn and McCloud acknowledge
that they never dreamed that he
could put up such a fight. While
struggling in the sheritf's Office
Proctor managed to discharge his
gun twice, one shot striking Nc
Cloud in the leg.
Horns cowarely attempt to kill
Proctor, after the latter had sur.
rendered his gun, shows the cali
bre of the man. After he was safe
ly back in Jail his attention was
called to this act, and that all he
had to do was to make his escape
out of the Jail, and he admitted
that it would go against him, as
e~videncipg his disposition to kill
when there was no cause for it.
1t is admitted on all sides that
Horns desperate attempt to es-
cape was an acknowledgment of
his guilt, and that he will now
hang without the question Of a
doubt.

SARATOGA FISH HATCHERY.
Will be Located at Centennial
Springs" ten Miles From Saratoga
G. ]. Rhodes Appointed Superintendent
Contract to be let for Building at
Once.

State Fish Commissioner, S.
Fl. Campbell, who arrived here
last week, has been inspecting
the several sites for a fish hatch
cry at this place and has, after
mature deliberation, chosen what
is known as Centennial Spring
located on the SW1-4 SW1-4
Sec. 10, TIP. n. R. 81 w. This is
a very large spring, with a tenn
perature of As degrees, and other
wise so nicely situated that it is
by all odds the most desirable
place for the location of the hat
cherry that could be found in the
entire valley.
j. d. Parker was a candidate
for the office of superintend-
ent of the hatchery and would
have been appointed had the
hatchery been located on The
spring near his place, but it was
decided by the Commissioner
that the supply of water was not
sufficient. Mr.. Parker felt that
ne could not afford to give up his
ranch and move to the hatchery
over at the Centennial spring, as
would have been necessary so the
Commissioner appointed G. j..
Rhodes to the office. Mr.. Rhodes
is an excellent man for the place
and, outside of Mr.. Parker, no
better choice could have been
made.
Mr. Campbell drew up plans
aud specifications for the hat
cherry, which contemplates a
building 24x50 feet, one story in
height. This will be divided in
to two rooms, l0xl2 and one room
IONA feet, the two former to be
used for bed room and office and
the latter for a kitchen. The
building will be ceiled. The
plans are in the hands of Judge
Rowen. Mr.. Campbell will re-
turn here next Monday and the
bids for the construction of the
building will be opened Tuesday
and the contract let.
Mr.. Campbell says the hatchery
will be in operation this fall.
The first shipment of eggs will be
made from the New England
states and will arrive here the
last of November or the LIST of LIST
of December next. From that
on eggs will be raised at the hat
cherry. The hatchery will have a
capacity of 100000, though it is
not expected that it will be run at
that capacity for some time. The
salary of the superintendent will
be S15 per month.
Mr.. Campbell is very much
pleased with the spring and its
location, and says the place is an
ideal site for a hatchery.

WEEKLY STOCKYAROS LETTER

u HnUJ & en-
So. Omaha, Neb.. Aug. The
actual number of head of live
stock used for consumption. is
naturally an interesting question
at the Union stockyards here. In
consequence figures compiled by
a Lincoln newspaper and alleged
to be practically accurate, are
causing much comment. These
figures cover only Nebraska, but
If they are correct, they show a
falling off in cattle for the past
year Of over half "A million head.
The Lincoln paper claims the fol-
lowing to be a reasonably accur-
ate estimate of livestock in the
state: Cattle, 2,l6l,773; hogs. L.
4ol,l64; sheep, 2lS, 722; horses and
mules, 539,9l1, a total of hoofed
animals of 4.402,665, and of ami
mails used for consumption pur.
poses, of 1861 ,64S.
If these figures are correct, a
tremendous shortage exists in the
state, not only in cattle but in
hogf End sheep, and prices will
soar heavenwards. However, it
must be stated. not much credit is
given to these figures by well post
ed commission men, though it is
admitted that some slight falling
off in the number of head of live
stock is apparent.
1t is reported that pink eye has
appeared among cattle around
Columbus, Neb., John Dawson,
living near there, having ninety
head afflicted. Another big horse
sale began at the Union stock
yards here today and will contin-
ne for two days. Five thousand
head are to be sold at auction, and
possibly more. About 100 car
loads come from South Dakota,
Wyoming and Montana points.
As favorable prices were obtained
at the big sale held last week, it is
augured that this sale, which is
being conducted by two firms. will
he equally profitable to the sellers.
The National Polled Hereford
Breeders Association is making
appropriations for special prizes
at the st. Louis Worlds fair.
Concerning market conditions
at South Omaha. the Flato Com
mission Cos expert says:
The grass cattle supply has
been more liberal this week com
ing mainly from Western Nebras-
ka. Demand for feeders, espec.
tally the good weights, has been
somewhat more active and prices
some better. A steady demand
for feeders may be expected from
now on, as the weather has been
favorable for corn and n slight I'M
provement in prices is also pos
sible. Grass beeves are still scarce
but demand is still good for any
thing Mt all desirable, and should
more come we believe they will
meet with ready sale.
Fat grass COWS and heifeIs are
in excellent demand or were, up
to Friday. when the demand suf-
fered IA slight reaction and prices
ruled II dime lower.
4 few average sales are quoted:

ing $50, to Sos, S3.75 to $3.50;

NOT OPPOSED TO sPEEP.

ooh, no, you are not to infer
that [, or any other official. are
opposed to the industry. No
one, L think, either here or in
that region out there, wishes to
harm the business. We want to
aid and protect it. The most in-
telligent of the sheep owners
themselves realize the necessity
of regulations. The more a man
has at stake the more anxious Is
he to preserve the ranges. 1t is
the irresponsible and unthinking
sheep owners who are risking fu-
ture ruin by destroying the pas
lures. which, if their use was pro-
perly regulated, would prove their
salvation. The purpose is to res-

No new steps are contemplat-

SHEEP ROAM AT WILL.

The sheep flock by countless
numbers and roam at will across
the land. They never have any
home and are always seeking new
fields to conquer. They drift
from Utah to Idaho and from
Idaho 70 Wyoming, They have no
interest in the land after obey have
denuded it. If there is a spring
they trample and destroy it, and
sometimes II we'll irrigated farm

MS if visited by a pest. These
things cannot go on indefinitely.
After every other industry has
been ruined the sheep will ruin
themselves.
