k1an Found Dead

A man was found dead in
Modale today. The body was
found about eighty feet south
of the depot, near the railroad
track. 1t is supposed the man
committed suicide. Nothing
was found on his body to ident-
ify him, but it is thought his
name is Prentice and that his
home is near Deloit, Iowa. He
was about fifty years of age
and comfortably dressed. Cor
onor Hosbrook was telephoned
for and is holding the inquest
this afternoon.

The injury that was inflicted
Ito Stephen A. Atkins some
weeks ago Icy a fall from the
elevator shaft in the depart
ment store resulted in his death
at nine o'clock this morning.
For some time after the in
jury the young man was con-
fined to his bed, but he finally
grew apparently better, and
again assumed his duties at
that place. But last week he
was taken worse, and upon a
more critical examination it
was found that injuries had
been received about the head
that nothing had been known
Iof, and from that time until
death relieved him nothing
could be done to check a grad
ual weakening and failing.

remains will be buried in the

Fell In into the Cirder Pit.

Fireman G. II. Barber, living
in Fremont, Nebraska, was call
ed last night to go out of this
city on a special freight. AS
his lantern had been left on the
engine when he came in yester-
day afternoon, he started for
the round house in the dark,
not being we'll acquainted with
the lay of the land down there,
he walked into the cinder pit,
breaking one of his toes. DR..
Colt was called and reduced the
fracture, and Mr.. Baker went
to his home in Fremont this
morning. That cinder pit fur
nishes us a good many locals
during the colrse of the year.

rolites by which it Will reach
Lander and Thcrinopolis. Sew.
eral companies have purchased
right-of-way between Casper
and Lander, and it is likely that
some of these companies have
been acting in the interest of
the Northwestern. 1t is there
fore quite probable that the
Northwestern has either Sc
cured right-of-way or will have
little difficulty in getting what
ever it needs in this regard.
A few weeks ago Governor
'Chatterton, of Wyoming, went
to Washington as q representa-
tive of what was called the Wy
oming State railway, which is
the corporation backed by the
Belgo-American Oil company.
He asked the secretary of the
interior for oil privileges and
right-of-way through the Wind
river reservation. In return
for the oil privileges the Wyo-
ming State railroad agreed to
compensate the Indians by the
payment of a certain per cent
of the net profits derived from
the sale of the oil. Secretary
Hitchcock refused to grant this
company any exclusive rights,
saying that such a grant would
be exceeding the authority of
his department., and that the
grant would conflict with plans
the government was entertain
ing for opening the Shoshone
reservation to settlement.
Several weeks have passed
since the Wyoming State rail
road met with this rebuff and
tiff plans for the future are un-
known. The Northwestern asks
for no developing rights on the
reservation, nor do its plans at
present contemplate a line
through the reservation Lam
der and Thermopolis both being
outside the reservation bound
aries. Ultimately, however,
the Northwestern will build
through the portion of the
country now occupied by the
Shoshone Indians, but only
after it has been settled and
developed by white men.
With it's western terminus at
Lander the Northwestern will
he within a short distance of
Ogden, and in railway circles
this morning it was freely pre-
dicted that within a few years
the Northwestern will make
Ogden its western terminus.
The southern and eastern
boundaries of the Yellowstone
National park are also only a
few miles from Lander, and
that the Northwestern will
shortly extend it's Wyoming
lines so as to reach the park is
not doubted by railway men in
view of the announcement.

IL Thermo;,a.is
Taps Big As,s, Basin, Reaching
the RiCh Oil, Farming and
Mineral Lands

BY extension of its system in
Wyoming, according to plans
announced at headquarters in
Omaha Friday, the Chicago &
Northwestern road will soon
tap the wonderful resources of
the Big Horn basin and of the
Wind river or Shoshone reser-
walton, which will probably be
opened to settlement in the
spring.
j Articles of incorporation have
been filed in Wyoming by the
Wyoming & Northwestern rail
way company for the purpose
of extending the line of the
Chicago & Northwestern from
Casper to the Big Horn river.
The announcement issued Fri
day states that the officials of
the Chicago & Northwestern
are the incorporators and will
act as trustees for the first year.
While the plans of the company
are not fully developed and no
statement is made as to what
extent construction will be car
ried on, the terminal points
mentioned in the Incorporation
papers are Casper, Lander and
Thermopolis.
Casper, which is in Natrona
county, is the present western
Terminus of the Northwestern
| lin Wyoming. The new line
would apparently run almost
due west to Lander. A branch
would probably be built to Their
mopolis from some point on the
main extension, for Thermopo-
lis is north of both Casper and
Lander, at the northeast corner
of the Wind river reservation.
Lander is in the Big Horn coun
try to the south Of the Wind
river reservation.
In the past few years it has
been frequently reported that
the Northwestern would extend
IFS line to Lander, but the
Northwestern officials have con-
tinually denied that any such
were being considered until
about eight months ago, when
a rival in the Wyoming rail
way field appeared. This was
the Belgo-American Oil compa-
ny, whose officials announced
that they would build a line
from Grin junction to Casper
ana Lander. The Northwestern
officials professed considerable
surprise that the Belgo-Amer-
lean company should wish to
| parallel the Northwestern from
.lOrin junction to Casper, but
the representatives of the oil
company finally made it clear
that Grin junction had been
chosen as the eastern terminus
because at that point a new line
could connect with the Colorado
Southern, which would give the
road a connection with Denver
and the Gulf of Mexico.
When the plans of the Belgo-
American company were an
nouEced, Manager Bidwell, Of
the Nebraska and Wyoming di-
vision of the Northwestern,
made the significant remark
that as soon as extensions in
Wyoming became necessary no
road would be more able or will
ing to build them than the
Northwestern. Mr.. Bidwell is
now in Wyoming attending to
matters connected with the in
corporation of the road. For
several years the Northwestern

Bunching and Thinning Sugar Beets.

Bunching and Thinning Sugar Beets.
The Wisconsin Sugar Co. have issued
the following circular relating to the
punching and thinning of beets:
Bunching and thinning is the most
important work on the beet field. The
yield per acre depends very much on
this work. If the work is dine after the
plants are too large, the pulling out of
the superfuous sprouts Injuries the roots
OF those which remain and the result is
reduced tonnage per acre.
Bunching, therefore, should commence
when the plants have developed suffi-
cient size to show the third leaf. This
is done with an ordinary six or seven
inch hoe by cutting across the row,
leaving bunch of one to two inches of
plants eight or nine inches apart.
Thinning, which should Immediately
follow punching, is done by selecting
one of the strongest plants at the edge
of the bunch. holding it firmly with the
thumb and forefnger, and pulling out
all the remaining plants with the other
hand. This will leave single plant
every eight or nine inches It is very
important to thin the beets to single
plants.
Our experience has shown that if the
work of punching and thinning is prop
erly done and if the field has a good
stand and is kept free from weeds, the
yield will not be less less than twenty
tons per acre.

The young people of this vicinity are
planning on giving picnic at the Gibbs

Quite number from here attended
the Watson-Hemmings wedding at
GAINESVILLE Wednesday.
Everything is dry and everyone wants
| rain. A little shower came last week
but only enough to lay the dust.
The Eagle and Stevens districts closed
with joint picnic at the Gibbs lake on
last Friday afternoon. A large crowd
was in attendance and good program
was rendered. Supt Hemingway was
present and made few appropriate re-
marks. The Eagle district presented
their teacher, Miss May Roherty, with
two books, Lady of che Lake" and
"Longfellow's Poems," and the pupils of
Miss Clara Shumaker in the Stevens
district gave her beautiful bon bon
dish and a book entitled American
Speaker" Both teachers have given
good satisfaction during their stay and
it is to be hoped that their services can
be secured for the coming year.
June wedding bells rang out last Tues
day, June 81, announcing the marriage
of Andrew Nichols of Porter and Miss

after which sumptuous wedding break
fast was served to about fifty invited
guests at the home of the bride, Mr. and
Mrs Frank Murray, just west of town.
The groom is one of our popular young
