after the ceremony she never

Cheyenne, March 9.-As a result OF
one of the most extraordinary winters
in the history of Wyoming the cattle
and sheep industries promise to e
perience a remarkable growth during
the coming summer. The win
tiers of 1902-03 was one of the worst
the state has experienced. and last fall
the railroads could not supply stock
cars in sufficient numbers to trans.
port the cattle and sheep from WY
ming to the markets, as stockmen cut
their flocks and herds down to the
point where every head could be fed.
In this county the thermometer has
dropped below the zero mark but
twice. and the same extraordinary
weather has been experienced over the
entire state. AS a result the coming
will see the great valleys and
plains again stocked with sheep and
cattle and a revival of the stock bust
ness such as has not been witnessed in
Wyoming for years.
