but what the public was well sat
isged with the stage service given
by Scribner's line. and that they
will be very we'll satisfied with
lis operations in the future.
There is room for one good stage
line here, such as Mr.. Scribner
has always ran, and there Is not
room for more.
Mr.. Scribner informs The Sun
that his line between this place
and Rudefeha has all it can pos
sibly do and that he could, with
profit, put on another four horse
stage on that route, but that he
needs both the stages and the
stock to use on the line from Raw
Inns to Dillon, which he is now
putting on.

BLOODY WORK IN Big HORN.
Mob Collects and, Failing to Get Posses
sion Of the Prisoners, Shoots Both Cor
mar and Walters. Two Condemned
Murderers. to Death IN Their Cells.

There is bloody work going on
in Big Horn county. Three men
are dead and one wounded at this
writing and propably more troub-
lie to follow.
James w. German and w. p.
Walters, two condemned murder
ers were in the jail at Basin,
awaiting the action of the su-
preme court, to whom their cases
had been appealed. Their lives
were threatened by a mob and
the sheriff, thinking to save their
lives, took them from the Jail, up
into a deep canon, where German,
a strong man, broke his hand
cuffs and fled. Walters made no
effort to escape. Later German
was re-taken and both prisoners
returned to the jail in Basin.
This was on Saturday. The next
morning, before daylight, the lit
tie Jail at Basin, a one story brick
affair was surrounded by a mob of
armed men, who, not being able
to get the keys to the Jail, fired a
volley of shots into the office, kill
ing deputy county clerk Price
and wounding deputy sheriff
Mead.
They then battered down the
door of the Jail with a telephone
pole, but not being able to I'M
lock the steel cell in which the
men, together with a horse-thief,
were confined, they shot the men
to death in the cell.
Capt. Price, with his company
of Light Artillery, at Cody, arm
ed with Krag-Jorgerson rifles,
arrived on the scene Monday
morning and peace reigned.
In the meantime Sheriff Fen
ton, with his deputy, A. L. Stone,
of Big Horn county, went to
Thermopolis to arrest the murder
ers of Ben Minnick, but the cat
tlemen gathered in large numbers
to rescue their comrades. The
militia was ordered to Thermopol-
is to keep the peace and at this
all is quiet once more.

For The Sun:

For The Sun:
In regard to the schools of
Carbon county it gives me plea
sure to say | find that most of
them are in a very good condition.
Most of u teachers are expert
enced educators, and are interest
ed III the welfare of the schools;
AS a result the children are do
ing good work, and making rapid
advancement.
We have most excellent Boards
of Trustees and they are to be
complimented on their choice of
teachers. This shows they are
doing their best toward the peo-
Pile who have left the important
duty of choosing the teachers to
them. Personally | wish to
thank those who have responded
promptly and courteously to my
correspondence in regard to school
matters.
1t is a great encouragement to
the teachers to have the parents
ard directors visit the school and
see what is being done, 1t is a
duty to the child to visit his
workshop and encourage him by
showing IL personal interest in his
work.
There is no public institution
which should be of more vital
Importance to the people than the
public school. The future of our
state and nation depends upon
what we make of the boys and
girls in the public schools today.
With us now rests the RESPONSE
bility of making of them men and
women of whom We may justly be
proud.
Will you then consider it your
duty aud pleasure to do some act
toward benetiIing the public
schools of our county, Visit the
school, send a good book or an ill.,

nine of which have exploded, two
of them recently. After the last
two explosions, which occurred
very closely together, and by
which several men we're killed
and injured, the engineers held a
meeting in Cheyenne and refused

Is Raising English walnuts.

j. j. Wagner, an old-time Sar-
atoga valley man, who has for ma
ny years lived in California, left
Tuesday for his home again, after
a two weeks stay here looking af-
ter the interests of children. Mr..
Wagner now owns a twenty acre
tract of land covered with young
English walnut trees, that are
just coming into bearing. Up to
this time he has had alfalfa in
between the trees in this tract,
and from the hay has maintained
a herd of dairy cows, the milk
from which has made him a good
living. MI. Wagner expects
that IN a few years more his or
chard will yield him a large in

Hong the trees will live, for the
oldest trees in that vicinity, 40
years of age, show no signs of fall

THE SITUATION AT HANNA.
Eighteen Bodie' Recovered-The Work Of
Removing Debris and Getting Air Into
the Mine Moving Forward Slowly.

The situation at Hanna remains
unchanged, with the exception
that a few bodies have.been taken
out, since IL last issue, making
the total number of bodies recov-
cred eighteen. The work of clear
ing the mine of debris and clos
ing up entries has proceeded as
far as the 10Th level, and air has
been gotten down to that point.
All entries where fire has been
discovered, have been bratticed
up and thus rendered harmless.
A careful canvass of the town
by one who has been familiar
with the people there for the past
ten years, shows the nationality
of the lost men to be AS follows:
Fins, 96; negroes, %; Italians, IL;
Swedes, 6;unknown,supposed to be
English, WEIGH, Americans, ETC.,
lOl, making a total of 240.
There has been a disposition
on the part of some of the papers
to blame Superintendent Brooks
for lack of effort to rescue the
men. Nothing, we are informed,
could be more unjust. Mr..
Brooks has not spared himself. or
any means or efforts at his COM
mand, to reach the buried men,
and instead of being blamed, he
should be highly commended for
his heroic work.
One of the last bodies to be
taken out of the mine yester-
day, was that of John B. Matt
son the youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs, August Mattson. The body
of the elder boy, Axel, has not
yet been recovered.

that Parker says that a man will
work himself to death, putting on

City. and Mrs. George W.. Perry and a
Mr.. Koretz. Of Pueblo, Colo, Both Bad

ACVloent 0naVoloa DIG.
Yesterday, as the stage for the
railroad was turning at the Hotel
Wolf to start ont, the upper tran
som caught on the lower and
when Lou. Massey, the driver,
started to straighten out his team,
the. coach upset, Mrs. Geo. w.

Colo. who were on top, We're all
thrown to the ground. MI. Kor-
etz was badly bruised on the face
and the knee cap of his right leg
was partially displaced, and Mrs.
Perry'had her left leg thrown out
of joint at the hip and her back
strained. There were two inside
passengers but none of the rest
were hurt. The coach was right
ed and proceeded on its way.
The services of DIR. Burke were
called in to attend to Mrs. Perry
and a~nestheticS were admins
tered and the dislocation reduced
in which DR.. Price assisted, and
she is resting as easy as could be
expected. though suffering much
pain. DIR. Lougeay took five
stitches in the nose and forehead
of Mr.. koretz and fixed him up to
the best advantage. Both Mr..
koretz and Mrs. Perry are at the
Hotel Wolf, where they are being
cared for by friends. Mr.. Perry,
who was at home. was telephoned
for, and arrived here at $50 last
night, and will remain for a few
days until his wife gets better.
Mr.. Koretz is the senior mem
Der of the firm of l.. d. Koretz *
Co., wholesale liquor dealers, of
Pueblo, Colo, and is a very
heavy man, weighing more than
200 pounds. 1t is thought his
head must have struck a stone
when.he fell, as his nose and fore
head are very badly. He is very
badly shaken up, and it will be
ton days before he is able to
again take up his travels. Mrs.
Perry will not be in a condition
to move for at least two weeks, as
her back was badly strained and
the shock was very severe
although there is not a scratch on
her body. Arthur Perry escaped
unhurt, though sitting beside his
mother on the top of the coach.
The accident was unavoidable,
and might have happened to any
one, There is no better or more
careful driver than Lou. Massey.
The body of the coach had drop
ped over, ir the turn, and the
upper transom, which is on the
body of the coach, caught on the
lower transom, which is on the
front bolster, and acted as "A lever
to pry the coach right over. The
transoms are of heavy steel and
could not break, and the tremen-
dous leverage, which the leaders
and swing team had on the end
of the tongue, must either snap
the king bolt or overturn the
coach, and the latter promptly
went on its side.
The accident called a large
crowd of people to that part of
town, who promptly rendered all
the assistance in their power in
caring for the wounded and in

hogs were held over Sunday
because the fiuxing of the market
prevented their sale. On the 9TH
er hand the demand at all of the
Missouri river markets was excel
lent and prices We're only affected.
as they always are, by the food
ing of the Chicago market
The wisdom of spreading ship
ments among the Missouri river
markets, instead of throwing up
on Chicago the burden of dispos-
ing of thousands of heads of stock
more than that city can handle,
can be made no more apparent
than by the statements made
above, based on the actual figures
published at all the exchanges.
Western shippers at least, are
beginning to learn that there is
more profit in sending their stock
to points where the demand is al
ways equal TO or greater than the
supply, than in taking chances ON
getting a few cents higher rate at
the Chicago market.
Iowa shippers however, to a
great extent, are yet taking these
chances, although n considerable
number having tried the South
Omaha market and found it yield
ing prompt returns with no de
lays, are now patrouiZing this
market regularly. OF the bulk
of hogs left over, at the
Chicago markets, the majority
We're Iowa hogs and in conse-
quence Iowa shippers were the
heaviest losers.
South Omaha stockmen are
watching with interest expert
ments now being conducted in
certain portions of Nebracka and
Iowa in the feeding of shredded
fodder. or corn stover, as it is cal
led. The feed has been RECON-
mended highly as a fattener.
Reports received here are to the
effect that fancy stock foods which
have been pushed out upon the
farmer, have had the heyday of
their prosperity. Farmers throgh-
out this territory have been ex-
perimenting for themselves with
products raised upon their own
premises aud find the results prove
that slight necessity for stock
food exists.
Reports from the sheep districts
about Lusk, Casper, and other
Wyoming points are to the effect
that lambs are scarce and there
will be fewer sheep in that state
next winter than for several years
past. Concerning market condi-
tions at South Omaha, Clay, Rob
inson d Cos. expert says:
Receipts of cattle Monday were
2,3O6 and the trading opened up
rather slow and draggy, but under
encouraging advices from eastern
points it became more active and
the market ruled steady with last
weeks close. Good 1850 to l,50U
lb. beeves sold nj $3.50 to $50:
with fair to good 1,050 to l,30O III.
grades at S4.60 to $3.50. The
supply Of butcher stock was mod
crate and figures little different
from Fridays prices. There was
some country demand for stockers
and feeders and the movement
WAS IA little ore active in this di.
vision than has been the case for
some time.
The receipts of hogs Monday
were 5,S2S and the market dull
and slow at about steady prices.
Light hogs are in best demand.
Sheep receipts were liberal for
the first of the week, 1000 being
on sale. The market ruled 10 to
l5c lower. Feeders are selling at
reasonable prices"

The governors biennial message to
the legislature, which is given in full
on the fifth page OF this issue, deserves
the careful attention of every citizen.
The governor gives review of the
past two years, and makes q number
of recommendations to thelaw m akers.
Thu review breathes the chara cteristic
optimism and faith in Minnesota as
the best spot Or the earth which the
governor never fails to bring out in
speech or writing. The recommends
tions are mostly in line with the OBJ
jects for which the special session of
the Legislature was called. The gov
ernor has not lost hope of seeing the
tax amendments passed, though they
failed a; the last election because SO
many failed to vote on them. He
wants the legislature to re-submit them
and have the{h printed on a special
ballot so that the voters cannot fail
to notice them. The Northern Securi-
ties matter also comes in for great
deal of attention.
