Mfsconstfuctfon of Law Is
Cause of Considerable
Trouble.
MUST EXPLAIN ALL ABSENCES
The Notion That a Man Only Needs to be
on His Homestead Once Every Six
Months Wrong.

There is an opinion
among many people, especialally
single men, concerning what is
required in the way of residence
on homestead entries.
One often hears the remark
made by single men hat they
"have slept on their homesteads
at least once every six months" or
they have not been off their
homesteads six months at any one
time"
The fac. is that no single man
can hope to prove up on his home
stead unless he has lived there
as much of the time as he possibly
could, and hat his absence has
been only for the purpose of earn
ing a living, prorided he could not
make a Huing by cultiuating the
land.
Even should he BIZ compelled to
be absent from the land for the
purpose of making a living, the
number of times 81 absent, and
the length Of each absence, has to
be fully explained, and it will then
rest entirely with the land office
officials as to whether they con-
slider his residence and cultivation
sufficient to entitle him to the land
In the case of a married man,
who is unable to support himself
and family on his homestead, it
is required to be shown that, dur
ing his absence, his family con-
tinued to reside upon and Guilt
vate the land.
Evidently the idea that the set
tier mnst be on his homestead ev-
cry six months comes from the
fact that, to secure the cancella-
ton of a homestead entry, it is
necessary to show that he has
been absent from the land for at
least six months. But the land
office will not accept any such ev-
idence in final proof, as it does
not snow good faith.

EXPLOSION IN
D0AME RAMBLER MINE
200 Pounds Of Powder Blows up, Break
ing Arm Of Otis Kelly and Other
wise lnjuring Him-Ex-
plosion Occurs at
N
q a. n.

Word was received here today,
of an explosion of powder which
took place in the Doane Rambler
mine, at 2 o'clock a. nj. yesterday.
whereby Otis Kelley had an arm
broken, and was otherwise seri-
ously injured. 1t is not known
here how the explosion took
place.
After the explosion a searching
party began looking for Otis KEEL
ley, expecting to find him under
the debris, badly mangled and
perhaps dead. Kelly, who was
knocked unconscious, finally came
to-, and made his whereabouts
known. He had been blown a
distance of 30 feet. His left arm
was broken and he was otherwise
injured, just how badly is not
known at this time.

Celebration of Wyoming
Day at Fair Notable
Event.
SPEECHER BY N MEN
Governor ,chatterton, ex-senator Carey,
Judge Corn and q. A. coffsen De
liver Addresses.

st. Louir, July 12.-Wyoming
was in the center of the stage yes
terday and the ceremonies and all
the events of the day were among
the most successful that have been
given by or in honor of any state.
Except for a short squall in the
afternoon, the weather was fine
and the most favorable conditions
marked the morning ceremanies
which took place at the Hall of
Congresses.
Governor Chatterton and his
staff and the speakers were escort
ed to the Hall by the Twenty Sec
ond regiment of Illinois National
Guard, which is encamped here on
the grounds. There were over a
thousand soldiers in line and form
ed the most imposing escort that
has been accorded any of the gov
ernors of the states who have thus
far visited the fair. One of the
best bands on the grounds was al
SO detailed to play at the cere-
monies.
There was a crowd much larger
than was anticipated at the Hall
when the ceremonies were COM
menced and the excellent speeches
by Gov. Chatterton on "Wyom-
ing" Judge Corn on "The Evolu-
ton of a State" ex-senator Carey
on "The Possibilities of Wyom-
ing" and the address Of Hon. 81
A. Cotfeen on wyoming and the
West" were all given the closest
attention.
The great gathering became en-
thusiastic at the singing of the
song Wyoming" by the beauti-
full Miss Savilla King, Of Casper,
and insisted upon its encore, and
upon the repeating eff the chorus
the entire crowd joined in the
chorus.
Wyoming people are here in
large numbers and Wyoming day
was without doubt one of the most
generally recognized of any of the
special state days that have thus
far been celebrated.
Eight hundred guests attended
the reception in honor of Cover
nor Chatterton at the Inside Inn
in the evening.

Fire at ~Encampment.

The residence of E. Fl. Hull in
Encampment was taken fire Fri
day evening and came near burn
ing.
Mrs. Hull and children were
making preparations to move to
Pearl to join Mr.. Hull, who is
transportation manager at that
place, and the children were hav-
ing a farewell party Friday even
ing. The fire caught in one OF
the upstairs rooms, presumably
from a lamp which had been left
burning and was under quite
a Roadway when discovered. The
alarm was turned in and the fire
department soon had the flames
under control. The furniture
and interior of the room were
quite badly damaged.

SACRED RECITAL.

Affair,

The Sacred Recital given in st.
Barnabas' Episcopal church Tues
day evening by the choir, assisted
by Mrs. w, G. Burke, Rev. Grab

treat such as Saratoga has not
had for some time.
The entertainment commenced
at s o'clock, and during the even.
ing Arcdeacon Cope, of Laramie,
delivered an interesting talk in
answering several questions which
had been handed in.
Nc admission was charged, but a
collection was taken at the end OF
the exercises for the choir fund.

Mrs. Miner Very III.

Word was received last week
from G. S. Miner to the effect
that his wife was gradually grow

held out no hopes for her recov-
cry.
Mr. and Mrs. Miner and Miss
Lura, now residents of Fort Col
Inns, formerly resided here. They
were universally respected and
liked, aed this news will be re-
ceived with regret by the entire
valley. Mrs. Miner is one of
those lovely characters who pre-
sence makes the world better.
Always kind, unsel6sh and con-
siderate, she has won a place in
the hearts of our people that will

Frank crout Leaves.

Frank Crout has left the North
Platte valley after a continuous
residence of twenty years. He
started last week with his family
overland to Laramie enroute to
his new home at Albion, Mich,
where he resided before coming
to Wyoming in 1869. His ranch
has been rented for a term of FIVE
years. 1t is located in sections
20 and 81, township IA north,
range 80 west, and consists of
34o acres of irrigated land.
Mr.Crout has prospered and goes
back to the haunts of his youth
with a firm determination to live
the balance of his days in ease.
He says that he will try to be
contented, but his neighbors
assert that any man who has
lived on a Wyoming ranch for
twenty years won't be satisfied
any other place, so Frank is ex-
pected back by another haying
time. Al Huston and Henry
Jones are the only residents OF
this section of the valley who
boast Of a longer residence here
than Mr.. Crout. Mr.. CIRCUITS
father ran the first hotel in LARA

NARROWLY ESCAPE DROWNING
Boat Strikes Tie jam and upsets in Ten
Feet Of Water Lose Fish and
Tackle.

Last Sunday night, as j. H.
Bemis and his two brothers, w.
NJ. and Arthur, were coming down
the river in a boat, returning from
a fishing expedition. they met with
a mishap, whereby they lost all of
the days fish, all of their tackle
and everything in the boat, and
very nearly lost their own lives.
They had two full creels of fish
besides many lying loose in the
boat. When they reached a point

the worst. He was under water
for fifty yards and was only saved
by being washed onto a bar.
When they got together and
took an inventory they found they
had just one rod left of all their
paraphernalia. They lost in the
neighborhood of $40 worth of tack
lie, and the boat. They were for
tunate enough however to find the
boat lodged upon a sand bar just
above the hot springs premises.
1t was uninjured.
1t was pitch dark and they did
not see the pile of ties until too
late to save themselves. It was a
close call for all of them and their
experience will not soon be for
gotten.

Dr.. Burke's Residence Broken Into Non.
day Evening and Was Ran
+ sacked for Food.

Monday evening between 8 and
8 o'clock during the absence OF
DIR. and Mrs. Burke, their resid-
ence was entered through a win
dow, presumably by three boys,
and everything in the line of food
vas eaten or taken.
About 7 in the evening three
boys, who claimed they we're walk.
ing from Denver to Encampmeni
came to the door and asked Mrs
Burke for something to eat, say.
ing they had walked in from Wal,
colt and had had nothing since
morning. Mrs. Burke fixed them
up a lunch and the boys left, go.
ing into the northern part OF
town, where they probably watch
ed the residence until the doctor
and his wife left the house.
The boys made their entrance
by breaking the catch on one o.
the windows, and made them
selves at home, striking matches
to work by.
Nothing was taken but food
and after helping themselves t.
everything in that line in sight
took their departure.
AS the robbery was. evidentl,
