A PECULIAR CASE
IN JUSTICE COURT
MAN CHARGED WITH STEALING
TONS OF PROVISIONS FROM
CARBON TIMBER COMPANY.
Was Helped by Boarding House Keep
er at Camp In This State, Who
Promptly Married Him When Ar
rested in Colorado and Refused
to Testify Against Him.

Hahns Peak, Colo, Jan. 9.-An I'M
usually complicated larency case was
dismissed in the our of Justice OF
the Peace r. G. Wallace. The goods
alleged to have been stolen consist of
provisions valued at more than 81, 600,
but the defense established that the
crome was committed a few feet over
the state line in Wyoming, and that a
Colorado court had no Jurisdiction.
1t is alleged that Carl Dudley, the
defendant, had removed groceries and
provisions from the boarding house of
the Carbon Timber company to the
amount of three or four four.horse
wagon loads and had taken the goods
to his ranch ten miles northwest of
Hahns Peak. Miss Anna Corless, who
was in charge of the boarding house, is
alleged to have taken the goods. piece
by piece, from the warehouses of the
company, to which she had keys, to
the boarding house, where Dudley load
ed up his wagon.
Miss Corless could not testify against
Dudley, for the two promptly got mar
ried as soon as they were brought to
Hahns Peak. 1t is said she has offered
to settle with the company in cash, and
it is probable that the case will now
be dropped.

Only Democrat to Survive Recent
Landslide in Famous Rock-Ribbed
Bourbon State Promises All Sorts
of Reform-Goes After Boodler
With Pitchfork. Hotter Than That
Of TiIIman of South Carolina.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 9.-Joseph
w. Folk, the famous prosecutor, the
only democrat to survive the republi-
can landslide. was installed as COVER
nor today. The Inauguration proved
the most brilliant in years. Thousands
of friends and admirers Of Folk, and
immense crowds OF republicans, to
whom the experience was a novelty,
attended the ceremonies. Retiring
Governor Dockery entertained promi-
nent persons, including Bryan and
wife, at breakfast today.
In his Inauguration speech today as
governor, Folk pointed out in a con
vincing manner the evils of bribery.
and suggested the strict enforcement
Of the law against the use of railroad
passes by legislators. He recommend.
ed the nomination of candidates for
Office by primary election and federal
senator's by direct vote of the people;
favored the denial of the right of suf.
frage to those citizens who failed to
use their privilege; urged a repeal of
the law permitting horse racing and
gambling. n argued for the sale at
public auction of all franchises. An
extract from his remarks on boodling
!ollow:
The legislators lot is not an easy
one. The pittance he receives for his
work is barely sufficient to supply his
necessary wants. Temptations which
beset him On every nand assume most
insidious forms. An innocent present,
given in supposed friendship. may
have concealed within 1t the germ
which leads to the downfall of his
honor. / have never known a legisla-
tor to become corrupt deliberately.
The moral collapse generally begins
with the siren sons Of some past mas
ter in the art Of CORRUPTION. The way
of corruption is the primrose path, with
dead sea apples on either side, ending
In quicksands Of dishonor and despair.
Once started on that road, 1t is impos-
sible to turn back. The legislator who
sells his vote trafiics in the honor of
the sovereign people. Bribery makes
the passage Of laws a mere matter of
bargain and sale. 1t tb"arsts justice,
enthrones iniQuity and renders lawful
government impossible. The first step
towards bribery is usually a railroad
pass"
BY a resolution Of the house, Bryan
was requested to address the assem-
bl. in which the senate and the in
auyura.ion guests had gathered. Bryan
eulo guised Folk and said the state
should take over life and fire insurance
and banking. He was given a tire
mendous greeting.

LITTLE MEDICINE LEGISLATOR
DISCUSSES PROPOSED sEGRE-
CATION OF TERRITORY.
Believes Parties Who Would Take Nine
Mile Strip from Albany County
for Benefit of Converse County
Will Meet With Stubborn Opposi-
ton BY Balance of State.

Hon. Carl Sieverts of Little Medi-
cine, who lives in the strip of Albany
county territory certain residents OF
Converse county are hoping to have
added to that county at the coming
session of the state legislature, de.
clares he can see no hope for the
friends of that measure, as they have
little argument on their side and no
reason other than a very selfish one
to segregate the tract and add it to
another county. He says the men in
of townships % and half of townships
u, in range II to II, inclusive, in
Albany county, and a similar tract in
Carbon county. which latter would go
to Natrona county. leaving the north
and south lines untouched, and NOV.
ing the east and west lines of the four
counties about nine miles further
south. This would add a large mum
her CT acres of some of the richest
grazing lands in that section to Con.
verse and Natrona counties and give
the men of those counties the right to
do what they are not denied as it is
exclude other fiockmasters and permit
them to range at will.
The tract sought to be segregated is
watered from streams flowing south
ward. A range of mountains lies be
tween it and Douglas or Casper, so
that during the winter months it is
impossible to get from Little Medicine
to Douglas, as it is to come direct to
Laramie. The natural contour of the
country is in favor of this city, how.
ever, as the tract Green's. directly on to
the Laramie plains.
Mr.. Sieverts says there is less rea-
son from a financial viewpoint to SUI.
fer the segregation than from any 9th
err. The residents of the strip are 10y
al citizens of Albany county, where the
county debt, small already, is being
gradually reduced. and where they

If added to some other county. AS far
as he knows. there is only n resi-
dent of the strip proposed to be sep.
arated who would favor such action,
and he believes his opposition is pure
ly personal. The people of the strip
are not in favor of any change and
certainly few of the people of the
county would favor it.
Mr.. Sieverts did not know for GER
tain that a bill to segregate the terri
tory would be submitted. He had
been told that Mr.. Hamilton and DR..
Wilson OF Douglas, the latter a mem
Der of the state board OF sheep COM
m~issioners. would prepare such a bill,
and learned here today that both gen
tlemen are now in Cheyenne, but he
thinks they would meet with opposi
ton on the ground hat Albany oun
.ty Is already small enough and Con
verse and Natrona counties large
enough. He believes, also, that the
Carbon county delegation would be SOL
id against the separation of any of
their rich territory for the benefit of
the Natrona county ~flockmasters.
