J. H. Davis, manager of the Lara
mic stock yards, was a visitor and
spent the day looking over the facili-
ties Of handling sheep at this market,
says the Omaha JournalStockman He
was particularly interested in the dip
ping plant and is figuring on putting
one in at Laramie. Last year nearly
6,O0Ocars Of Sleeper over l 800, 900 head
were stopped al Laramie to feed and
rest, and MI. Davis confidently expects
this record to be broken in 1905. Some
where ear 10000 cattle and horses
were also handled at the yards. They
have about 1,4O0 acres of pasture I'M
der fence for the cattle and sheep to
run on, SO that it makes an ideal stop
over place for range stock.
Our people are getting out of the
notion of horseback farming " said
Mr.. Davis, and Wyoming is going to
be one of the best feeding states in
the union. Irrigation has brought this
about and the crops produced under
ditch on our virgin soil are something
wonderful. The old idea of turning
stock out on the open prairie to rustic
or starve is entirely gone and practi'
cally all stockmen have their hay
stacks for winter use. The range for
the past two years has been fine and
the sheepmen are putting in a good
share of their time clipping coupons
Just enough snow has fallen so far to
make excellent grazing back from the
streams and water holes, and the
sheep are doing well all over the
state.
Right in IL vicinity most of the
sheepmen are feeding both hay and
grain, alfalfa being abundant, and
corn shipped in from Nebraska. Many
bands of sheep are getting enough
corn to make them fat and all of them
are getting enough to educate them in
to the very best kind of feeders for the
corn belt farmer. Sheepmen have
learned that better winter feeding
makes better wool and this is quite
important when the wool Is being
contracted for right along at 15k
cents per pound. By the way, our
wool clip this spring Is going to be
enormous and of excellent quality. The
idea of feeding peas, the m as IN

FATHER OF FUCHS
 EXPECTED IN CITY
HE HAS TELEGRAPHED THAT HE WOULD COME AND INVESTIGATE THE LONG LIST OF CHARGES AGAINST HIS SON.

For the first time since his arrest no new developments against Clarence Hughs, charged with forgery, have come to light in single day In fact the only thing concerning the young man is the statement of the police that Nathaniel Hughs, his father. is expected to arrive in Birmingham this morning to investi- gate the charges against his son.
 The senior Hughs telegraphed that he would leave Stillmore. Ga, on the first train and added that he would do all in his power in behalf of his boy
 T. J. James, Jr.. the man whose name it is charged Hughs used so extensively in the eastern cities. may attend the trial of the young man in this city. Efforts are being made to have him come to Br- mnghanl for such A purpose, but nothing definite has been heard from him con- corning the matter.
 Should Hughs succeed in raising the money with which to make good the losses caused persons here it is probable that he will be held pending information from other cities. He is wanted in a number of places on charges of securing money by issuing drafts and checks sign ed "T. ]. James, Jr.'' and word has come from Chicago and other places that if there is no prosecution here, that parties there will prosecute him.

of good order and discipline. He said that fighting was against the regulations of the navy and that even were it not the criminal law existing in Maryland at the time of cession of the academy grounds to the government still prevailed unless expressly repealed. This MT. Rose said forbade fighting.
 Certainly he continued "to the mind of the layman two midshipmen going se- cretly to a room, and with referee, time keepers and seconds proceeding to batter each other to pieces would constitute con- duct contrary to the good order and disci- pline of the service"
 The second charge was that of violation of the third clause of the eighth article of the rules governing the armed forces of the United States. It was supported by the two specified tlons that Meri- wether called Branch a sneak and liar, and that he struck him. This MT. Rose said was admitted.
 He then explained some of the legal points touching the crime of manslaugh- ter, defining it as the killing of one per- son by the unlawful and willful, though not malicious, act of another.
 At the conclusion of MT. Roses re- marks the court was cleared and the con- sideration of the verdict began.

MAN DIES WHILE
 STANDING ERECT Body Remained Standing Even
 After Death
JOHNC. HAYWOOD STRICKEN
Had Been Laughing and Talking In Station at Chattanooga a Few Minutes Previous to
 His Demise.

Chattanooga, November 30.-(Specal.)- turned toward his left shoulder, the life less body of John c. Haywood, leading citizen and merchant of Cleveland, Tenn, was found this morning at 7:9O in the cen- tral passenger depot. few minutes pre- vious to the time of his death MT. Hay wood was laughing and talking with friends in the waiting room which was crowded. He arose from his seat and walked across the floor and attempted to get a drink of water, but as he raised his hand to grasp the cup life left him.
 No one knew that MT. Haywood was dead until station policeman saw the corpse standing erect. and thinking the man had fallen asleep caught him by the arm and tried to awaken him.
 Much excitement followed the announce ment that a dead man was standing in the waiting room. Some one notified cor oner Gillispie of the singular death and he ordered an undertakers wagon 10 the depot When the undertaken arrived the corpse was still standing and the man still seemed to be sleeping.
  Mir. Haywood had suceumbed to an attack of neuralgia of the heart. The under taker found 5000 in money and some val uable papers in his pockets and by exam ming the letters it was ascertained that he was a brother of H. c. Haywood or llz East Seventh street. Chattanooga
 MT. Haywood was AS years old and sih- gle. He had been engaged in the mercan- file business at Cleveland, Tenn. Tor many years, and frequently came to this city to select goods for the la se gen eral store he conducted in that town ne had spent the previous day In Chatta- nooea and was at the depot awaiting for train on which he intended to return to his home.
 The Haywood family of Cleveland was notified of the death and David and Frank Harle, relatives, came to the city to take charge of the body.

SALVATION ARMY
 MAN IS HELD UP
CAPTAIN SAVERS OF CHATTA- NOOGA IS WAYLAID IN ARMY HOTEL AND ORDERED TO GIVE UP HIS MONEY.

Chattanooga, November 30-(Special.)- Capt. J. P. Savers, commander of the local detachment of the Salvation army. was held up in the Salvation Army hotel this afternoon by an unknown white man. As Captain Savers was passing through a rear corridor of the hotel rough stranger stepped in front of him and pushed a pistol in his face. The rob ber's only remark was: "I want your money right quick, and l don't want any gospel talk"
 The captain immediately gave up hls pocketbook and some small change he had about him. The police have been unable to get any trace of the robber so far. The Salvationist says his financial loss was small. but the pocketbook contained some papers of value 10 him.

manslaughter, the latter being the charge
 in the present case. The court listened to an especially fine set of witnesses, particularly the midshipmen but there are two exceptions. These are Midship- man Humphrey who stammered too much when he came the second time and told story that was contracted by Colonel Col vocoresses, and Midshipman Fitch, whom l shall impeach. All five of the doctors who had part in the question, testified clearly that death resulted from the fist blows. Opposed to these was the testimony of only one witness, Dr. Ames. Dr. Glazebrok, in defiance of the practice of courtmartial, has been kept in court and then put on the stand and his testi- mony should not be given much weight"
 Captain Mark then called attention to certain phrases of the medical testimony and agreed that the great weight of evil dence sustained the view of offers con- nected with the operation. The signs of the oedema which had caused the death had disappeared when the autopsy had been made nineteen days after death.
 "If.'' said the Judge Advocate. ''the evi- dence does show that death was caused by clots, and the clots came from fall and not fist blows. I will join in con graduating the accused and not ask for conviction on the charge of manslaughter. But have the falls been proved?
 I testimony of Midshipman Fitch. Before the board of inquiry and on the stand the first time Fitch said nothing about any fall. but when the point had arisen Midshipman Fitch. who had refereed the fight, gave evidence of falls during the fight l think his evidence should be stricken out. Fighting Is prohibited at the naval academy and everyone knows it. person is responsible for all the re- suits connected with wrongful act. For a set of young gentleman to propose a brutal beastly fight is fine thing to offer as an excuse. fist fight does not always show real courage. The best fighter might be the meanest coward in battle. prize fighter is not a hero. The evil dence has shown that Branch was not malicious. though his running may have been specially directed toward Meriwether to some degree. It is the custom. believe. for certain midshipmen to direct their at tention to certain lower classmen. The acts of Mir Branch along this line were not severe or unusual and do not consti- tute any mitigation
 The judge advocate directed particular attention to the incident on board the Hartford when Branch had reported Meriwether for charges in connection with taking fruit.
 Tn explaining his conduct the judge advocate said, "Meriwether had not said. as he admitted on the stand. that he told him to go to he'll"
 In connection with the visit Of inspec- tion which discovered the suit case, the judge advocate said there was no evil dence to show any unlawful act on the part of Branch.
