Denver, Colo, Dec. 20.-Both I'm.
boden and Hill, who were convicted
by the jury last night of conspiracy
in wrecking the Denver Savings bank,
are in the county Jail this morning,
but maintain their confidence in their
ultimate freedom. A motion for a new
trial was made and viii be argued to-
morrow, when the s~upersedeas bond
will be asked. If the court overrules
this an appeal to the supreme court
will be taken and every legal effort
made to free the prisoners.
According to the verdict of the jury,
the penalty for their crimes is a max
imum sentence of ten years on every
count, and the minimum is one year.
AS there are ten counts, and they were
found guilty of several of them, the
general impression is that a total of
ten years will be decided upon.

Toltec, Wyo., Dec. 1S.-A most en-
joyable dance was given by the Bar M
boys Friday night, at the Hall ranch,
and, say, boys didn't we have some
fun? Dancing began at $50 in the ev-
ening and the haymaker was high
above the mountain tops before the
last strains of Home, Sweet Home
told the dancers it was time to mount
their broncs and ride homeward. Sup
per was furnished by the ladies, with
the exception of a kettle of boiled meat
and a large boiler of coffee, which the
boys themselves prepared.
One young man was very fond Of
mince pie, so filed his pockets, pu'

MANY CITIES
WANT METER
CITY ClERY HAS REPLIES FROM
OFFICIALS OF CASPER, DOUG
LAS AND CHEYENNE.
Douglas Clerk Says That City Is Like
Laramie and Wants to Know Re-
suit of Installing System of Meas
urement in laramie-the Council
Takes UP Water Question.

The council was called to order at
1880 last evening by Mayor Mckee,
with Messrs. Beemer, Phillips, Solder.
strom and Spicer of the council and
Clerk Tyvold and Attorney McMurray
present. The absentees were Council
men Johnson and Rogers and Marshal
Sigman, the marshal having been ex.
cused by the mayor.
The minutes of the meeting of De.
cember 3 were read and approved.
The city clerk, who on November 81
had sent out a number of letters con
corning the water question, had receiy.
ed replies from Douglas, Casper, Chey.
enne, Pueblo, Colo, and Ogden, Utah,
read the replies for the benefit Of mem
bers of the council. Following are the
pertinent contents of the various let
tiers:
Frank G. Duke, city clerk of Pueblo,
tells City Clerk Tyyold in a letter dat
ed the 10th, hat he has referred the
matter to Dennis G. Burke, water SUI
p~erintendent, who will furnish the de
sired information.
u lOh L. NhStltl VI SuSpSlt "a q
letter dated the 18th, says Casper is
also considering the question Of put
ting in meters to regulate its water
supply. Personally, he believes it is
a good thing. Mr.. Tyvold's letter has
been referred to the water commission
er for reply.
William c. Critchlow, city recorder
of Ogden, in a note dated the 18th, says
he has referred Mr.. Tyvold's letter tt
the Ogden W~aterwarks company, which
owns and operates the waterworks sys
TEN in hal city.
Otto Bolln, clerk of Douglas, Wyo.
writes hat Douglas is in the same posi-
ton as Laramie with regard to its wa
ter. They are considering the PROPOSE
ton Of putting in a meter system, ant
Mr.. Bolln finds that the privileges ex
tended under a fiat rate are being con
stantly abused. Probably one-half OF
the water used, particularly in the sum.
mer months, is wasted, and the pump
ing plant is a losing venture for the
town. From all the statistics we can
find, the installation of the meter sys-
tenn has been successful. If you put
in the meter system soon, 1 would
thank you for information as to how it
works and also what your rates are
w. D. Pease, city engineer and water
commissioner of Cheyenne, writes tc
Mr.. Tyvold as follows, in part:
I'VE have not any meters in use
but that is no reason why we SHOULD
not have them. To sell water by the
fiat rate system, as we do here, Is NJ
more just than 1t would be for a gro
Ger to sell sugar the anne way-alloV

sons, or in such and such a sizeC

years past to get our city to adopt met

clerk:

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 20.-The indica-

that Mr.. Walsh really looted the banks

GOOD READING FOR
THE CAREFUL BUYER.

Readers of The Republican should
not overlook a line of the very read
able advertisements in every issue OF
this paper, as there is much of interest
to the careful Christmas buyer. The
merchants of the city have never
placed better or more seasonable
stocks on their shelves, and they are
telling the people in the best way to
reach them of the excellent buying
now possible in Laramie. The coming
Christmas promises to be one of the
pleasantest in a score of years, and
not the least factor is the ease of
shopping provided by the merchants
of the city.

The Development Of Texas.

On September first there is to be
a sale of six million acres OF public
land belonging to the great state of
Texas. This tract is larger than New
Hamshire, Massachusetts, or New Jer-
sey and would make seven states the
size of Rhode Island. Texas will have
after this sale twice as much more
public land left for disposal.
The sale is for the sake of develop
ment and only those proposing to be
settlers will be allowed to buy, and
the size Of the purchase will be limit
ed, so that there will be an opportun.
ity for about five thousand families.
Texas is now making great progress
as farming state. Large tracts un-
til recently thought to be useless for
farming are being cultivated, and
land that has been devoted to cattle
will soon be producing crops. Between
1890 add 1900 the number of acres
classed as farm land has more than
doubled. Much of the change has
been due to the discovery that water
lies beneath the surface of what has
been known as the "Great Staked
Plain" The possibilities of this i'm
mease state are very great and the
sigas at present indicate settling in
that region that may in few years
effect a remarkable transform alton
of the southwest.

Obituary..

Martin r. Cravens, the only sur
vivilg child of Charles and E izabeth
"a, ems, died Wednesday morning,
august 2, at his home in this place.
having been preceded few short
years by his only brother, Overton,
an excellent young man of loving
Christian character.
Martin had spent all of his life In
his home town, with the exception of
a few months when he had been EN-.
ployed in the south in the interest of
the company he represented. BY his
straight forward, consistent life as
business man, and Ills genial disposi-
ti6, had won for him high stand.
ing with his company and great
masy friends, who to-day, greatly re.
greA his unexpected death.
Imbued with great energy and
faiSAful to business caused him to for
get self until too late, as the disease
had too great hold upon him before
he reached home. There with every
atssution and loving care, although
fighting for life, he was in no way
afsAdd to meet death, which was tri.
unphant. Conscious to the last he
pesoefully slept softly away.
In the spring of '65, during the re-
viNl services at the Methodist
Church, conducted by Rev. Talbot,
he, with great many others, was
CONVERTED and Joined the church.
Later on he identified himself with
the Presbyterian Church and through
alt the intervening years, although
very reserved and undemonstrative,
remained steadfast to his religious
convictions and was faithful to the
church services.
In his social life he was always
ready to enter into any enjoyment
that would add to the pleasure Of bis
friends. He always enjoyed the 30
ciety Of the Elks, of which order he
was charter member, and had filled
all the ofices of the order with due
credit, as well a. being member of
the Modern Woodmen and Red Men.
In his home life, where to-day his
loving parents mourn their irrepara-
BILE loss, he was sincerely devoted and
always thoughtful and careful of
their comfort, and In no place will be
more missed.
Jesus, Himself, will comfort thee,
In His own time. in His own way;
And happily more than two or three,
Unite In prayer for thee to-day.
