Scripps-McRae Telegram.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 81 Three
masked men held up an Oregon Short
Line train near Kammerer, Wyoming,
late last night. They dubbed the
trainmen and express messenger into
helplessness, looted the safe and es-
capped with thirteen thousand dollars.

was regular shipment to pay the
miners of that section.

CONCERNING OUR HOLIDAYS
Most Of Them Are Regulated Entirely
by the Authorities Of the
Various States.

There Ia no national holiday In the
United States In the sense OF being
made so by federal law. Such matters
are regulated entirely by state author
ity. and they vary In the different states,
Mississippi alone having no statutory
holidays, says the Nashville (Tenn)
Banner The Fourth Of July and Christ
mas are observed as holidays in all Of
the states. and all OF the governors
usually follow the president In setting
apart a Thanksgiving day, which the
laws In most states have made bank
holiday but otherwise there Is nothing
like uniformity. June 3. Jefferson Dav-
Is birthday. is holiday In Florida,
Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.
Abraham LIncoln's birthday Is observed
as holiday In Connecticut. Delaware,
Illinois, Minnesota. New Jersey. New
York North Dakota, Pennsylvania
Washington and Wyoming. A number
Of states observe some special holiday
not observed elsewhere. as January
(the battle OF New Orleans). in Louis
iana March Estate epencence). In
Texas May 20 (Mecklenburg declara-
tion). in North Carolina. etc. Congress
has at vsrious tines appointed special
holidays. and in the second session OF the
Fifty-third congress II passed an net
making Labor day a holiday In the Dis
trict OF Columbia II has also recog-
nized certain other days as holidays for
commercial purposes within the dis
trict. but there is nothing like a general
act on the subject. The presidents

day legal holiday In the District Of CO.
