FIRE IN MAxFIELD RESIDENCE
Blaze Discovered but was Soon Exiting
uished-wiIl put up New
Kitchen

Friday morning about s O'Clock
fire was discovered in the kitchen
of G. w. Maxfeld's residence and
the alarm turned in. Before any
one reached the building however
the fire was extinguished by Mr..
Max6eld and A. M. McAnally.
The fire started from the stove
pipe of the kitchen stove, a hot
fire having been in the stove
while Mrs. Maxfield was cooking
breakfast. The door between the
dining room and kitchen was
closed while the family were at
breakfast, and upon opening the
door to get something from the
kitchen, Mrs. Maxfield, discovered
the room was full of smoke. As
the fire had not gotten under
much Roadway it was quickly ex-
tinguished.
The boards surrounding the
stove pipe were charred through,
indicating that the boards had
probably been near breaking into
flames for some time.
Mr. Maxfeld is having the old
kitchen removed and a new and
better structure built in it's place.

LOST IN The MOUNTAINS
Van s~tesnburg. Of the French Creek Tie
Camp. Spends Four Bitter Days
without Food or Shelter

Last Friday morning a weak
and fainting individual made his
appearance at the ranch of A. j.
Kenneday. He was on snow
shoes and was so far gone from
fatigue and hunger that he could
hardly stand or speak. After his
immediate wants had been sup
piled he WAS able to give an ac-
count of himself.
His name was H. Van Steen-
burg, of the French creek tie
camp. On the Monday before he
had started on snow shoes to cross
the Medicine Bow range Of noun
tains, over to the tie camp on
Medicine Bow river. He had not
proceeded very far before he real
Used that he was lost. He wand.
cred around until nightfall, when
he crept under some low hanging
pines and spent a most miserable
night. AS the thermometer was
below zero he had much difficulty
to keep from freezing to death.
Tuesday morning, weak and ex-
hausted, he again started on his
journey, and wandered all day in
the mountains. When night
overlook him he vas still lost and
bewildered, and he was compelled
to spend another bitter night und.
er the pines, fighting for his life.
At dawn Wednesday he made
another effort to find his way out
of the mountains to a place of
shelter. At this time he had
grown 30 weak that he fell repeat
eddy and his clothes became full
of snow. Snow was falling near
ly all the time, and this served to
obliterate all land-markes and he
could not steer his course by the
sun, for it was covered by clouds.
He thought he would be unable
to survive another night in the
mountain, but he did, and Thurs
day morning brought renewed
hope and energy to his famish-
ing body.
Late in the evening he dis
covered a house and, on drawing
near, found it to be a mining
camp-but it was deserted. He
tried the door and found it lock
ed, &c he turned to an opening in
the ground, which proved to be a
tunnel. He spent Thursday
night in that shelter, cold and
hungry beyond any power of des-
eruption. Friday morning proved
to be bitter cold, but clear. He
stumbled along feebly toward a
point, and saw that he was near a
valley. He fell along on his road
still making for low ground.
He could hardly believe his
eyes when they saw a ranch house.
He just had Strength enough left
to crawl feebly up to the door.

WEATHER FORECASTS
Furnished to all Sections Of Wyoming
Through Courtesy Of the Bell
Telephone Co.

Through the courtesy of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Co, arrangements have been made
for a thorough distribution of the
Weather Bureau forecasts to all
sections of Wyoming reached by
their lines, or connecting private
lines. Every morning. Sundays
excepted, between nine and ten
o'clock, the Cheyenne Weather
Bureau Office will give the fore
casts to the Cheyenne exchange
from which points they will be
distributed to all toll stations
throughout the State. The tx.
changes and toll stations have
been instructed to give the daily
weather forecasts to all persons
who will call for them By this
means of distribution, any person
in the State who has access to the
lines of the R. M. B. Z. Co. can
obtain the forecasts by asking for
such from the exchanges or from
the agents at the toll stations,
and receive them by about 10
O'Clock each forenoon.
Each exchange and toll Office in
the State VIII be furnished by the
Weather Bureau with a card hol-
der and a supply of cards, on
which the daily forecasts will be
kept for reference. In order that
the forecasts may be as reliable
as possible, the State has been
divided for convenience into four
sections, and forecasts will be de-
livered to each section as furnish
ed by the Department. In the
southeast section are the counties
of Albany, Carbon, Converse,
Laramie and Natrona: in the south
west, Fremont Sweetwater and
southern Uinta; in the northwest,
Big Horn; and in the northeast,
Johnson and Sheridan. Every
county in the State, except Crook
and Weston, will be furnished,
without cost, with the daily
weather forecasts. Practically
every city, town, village and ham
let in the State, except in the
counties of Crook and Weston, as
well as hundreds of homes of ranch
men, stockmen, and farmers in
the more inaccessible portions of
this great State, are joined by the
wires of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Co., and will each
morning receive a forecasts of the
weather conditions. The under
taking is one of considerable
magnitude and will no doubt be
appreciated by the patrons of the
Telephone Co.

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
A Renaissance Of War Times-How He
Leetured a Reckless Colonel for Ex-
posing His Men
Editor of the Sun:

Editor of the Sun:
The announcement of the death
OF General Lew Wallace brings to
mind an incident which occurred
in the early part of June, 1864,
during the time that Sherman
was driving Hood slowly but
surely back onto Atlanta. From
the time W g struck the enemy at
Dalton, Ga, until Hood was pen
ned up in the Notifications around
Atlanta, it was one continuous
battle, though history has divid-
ed the occasion up into several
engagements, such as Dalton.
Snake Creek Gap, Resaca, Kings
ton, Burnt Hickory, Kenesaw
Mountain, Marietta, Gainesville,
etc.
The only time the writer ever
saw General Lew Wallace was
during the afternoon of a June
day, just after a most desperate
charge, in which the Confeder-
ates had been driven several
miles. Lieut.. Col. Walters of
llr regiment, was in command,
General McQuistin, its colonel,
being in command of our brigade.
During the charge mentioned,
Col. Walters, a man who was a
stranger to fear, came very near
losing the entire company to
which the writer belonged, by
leading 1t into a trap prepared
by the enemy.
The enemy had posted a bait
cry OF four guns on an open space
behind which, some fifty yards
away was a dense wood, where
they had a brigade lying in wait
for us when we should make a
dash for it. Just in front of the
battery was n hollow. Col. Walt
ers WAS leading us, in a head-lonp
dash for the battery, when it op-
ened on us with a charge of grape
which was aimed too low, going
into the ground in front of us.
When the battery fired its second
charge we had gained the shelter
of the hollow and the grape
whistled ominously over our
heads.
AT this moment Col. McQuis.
tin came raging up, swearing like
a pirate. and led us out of the
trap by a flank movement that
did not lose us a man. When we
had taken Il place in the rsgi-
ment again, a general, attended
by his staff rode up, dismounted,
handed his bride rein to an ord.
erly and took his seat on an old
burnt log. In a few moments
Col. Walters, the daredevil
stood before him With bowed
head, listening to a lecture, every
word of which must have raised a
blister. The General reached
out his hand and Col. Walters re-
luctantly unbuckled and deliver
ed up his sword. After the Gen
eral had lectured his subordinate
TO the Queens taste, he handed
him his sword and allowed him
to return to his command.
Then the whisper went around
that it was General Lew Wallace.
The General was 81 years of
age at hat time, for it was 40
years ago that the occurance re.
lated above took place. Even
then General Wallace was famous
rs a soldier, but no one dreamed
that he would become even more
famous as an author, for"BenHur,"
his great work, was then undream.

WILL MAKE EXHIBIT
Operators Are Invited to Assist The Her.
aid in xaking a Permanent Display
Of Ores and Minerals.

Tho Herald is planning the es-
Enlistment of a permanent exhib.
it of copper, gold and silver ores
coal, lime, iron, etc, representing
the resources of the mineral dis
tricts of southern Wyoming and
nothern Colorado.
The exhibit will be placed in
the front room on the first floor of
the Herald block, where tables
and cabinets will be arranged in a
suitable manner to display the
specimens.
The exhibit will be made for
the information of visitors and
parties interested in the district.
The Herald will aim to make it
both interesting and instructive,
showing not only the mineral, but
also the cappings and wall rocks
IN as many as possible.
An innovation will be the re-
production of the Ferris aggar-
ty ore shoot on a small scale. the
gossan, secondary ore and per.
manent ores being arranged in
regular order from the surface
down depth and Dimensions be-
ing. gwen on printed slips, the
shoot to follow the dip of the vein
as it actually occurs in the mine.
The Herald has never seen this
feature introduced in a mineral
display, but believes that it will
prove equally as instructive and
attractive as any display ever
made.
Another excellent feature will
be the display Of the product of
the Encampment smelter, includ-
ing raw ore, concentrates, calcines
matter, blister copper and Stag.
Specimens are desired from
every property in the big copper
district; not small pocket speci-
ments, but large ones, of the size
that can be appreciated by min
ing men. New finds will be given
special attention from time to time
and it will be the aim of the Her.
aid to keep the specimens up to
date, 80 that visitors may visit
the Office and see specimens of
the new as we'll as of the old finds.
If hearty cooperation on the
part Of property owners is given
this exhibit may 5e made the
finest in the state and one of
which the district may be proud.
There is no general exhibit of ore
in the city today and the need of
a complete and camprehensie dis
play of ores is felt. The Herald
with the assistance of the operat-
ors, will supply this need.
An additional feature will he a
display of pictures to which all
r asked to contribute.
This is a question in which all
should be interested and the Her
aid extends an invitation to every.
one to cooperate.-Herald

NO HOSTILE ACT

Are Others.

New York, May 1e.-No well-in-
regards the elimination of Hartman
and representatives of Hartman inter
ests from the Northern Pacific board
as an act of overt hostility. AS a
matter of fact, the Union Pacific proxy
was voted for the board elected yes

largely to have been made to avert
conflict with various state laws for
bidding directors Of one railroad to
sit on board Of competing system,
and well authenticated information is
to the effect that satisfactory progress
is making in arriving at permanent
peace in the railroad situation in the
northwest.
Nevertheless the fact remains that

some time ago that he was trying to dc

The view is advanced in Wall street
however, that Hartman is not parting
peacefully with anything that he is MOI
willing to give up. He is universally
known to be an implacable, bitter hater
His attitude towards Hill has always
been contemptuous, hence the stock

END OF CHICAGO
STRIKE IN SIGHT
ELEMENT NEAR
IN CHICAGO STRIKE

Chicago, May ia settlement
of the transfers strike seems to
be near. Mayor Dunno said today
1t would end within twenty-four
or forty eight hours. Sheriff Bar
rett, who made a similar statement,
has begun calling in the deputy
sheriffs on strike duty, and will
not make any more appointments
for such service.
The strike, according to Sheriff
Barrett, is not to be called off, but
the strikers for whom positions are
open are to return quietly to work,
the employers to give their old po-
sitions to worthy men who have
not been lawbreakers.
President Shea said he had heard
nothing of prospective-that
none of the transfers would 20
back to work until the strike had
been declared off officially, and
that only the joint council could
make such declaration.
The employers association had
2,1OO teams at work today-the
largest number since the strike be-
gan. There was little interference.
