A SUCCESS
LARGE NUMBER OF BUYERS FROM
MANY STATES PRESENT TO
MAKE PURCHASES.
Oregon and Other Western Stock Of
fered and Eager Buyers Ready to
Accept Lowest Figures Possible
Some Good Stuff Sold at Reason
able Figurcs-Citizens Present.

The Sheehan horse sale began at
the stock yards yesterday afternoon,
the first day attracting a large mum
Der of buyers from all over the coun-
try, a dozen states being represented
and some spirited bidding resulting.
The Sheehan brothers are recognized
as among the most noted horse sales
men in the west and are here with a
splendid lot of horses, Laramie being
one of the most convenient spots in
the west for an ideal horse sale.
Among the lot sold yesterday after
noon were some 3 and 4-year-old
horses, which went for an average of
$35 a head, some broke horses going
for more and some below-average
stock going for less. The sales are in
car lots largely, the horses being
picked ant offered for certain pur-
poses.
This afternoon there was a larger
attendance, a hundred or more buyers
being present. The band escorted a
party TO the stock yards during the
forenoon, the sales attracting many
people of the city, who went to look
and walk home.
A gentleman not a resident of the
city said this afternoon the people Of
Laramie and Albany county did not
realize the Importance of this sale,
contending that it, if it prove success
full, means many more such and the
gathering here two or three times a
year of stockmen from the states east
of Wyoming of men who buy horses
for the profit of trading with them in
other places. They come and spend
large sums of money. The impression
they gain of the community now will
be lasting. Tie gentleman quoted
said everything should be done that
would encourage their return.
Many Of the horses so far offered
for sale have been brought from the
west, not a great many local horses
having been offered. There are those
that contend that the Oregon horses
possess merits not possessed by the
range horse of Albany and neighbor.
ing horses, and that to mix them
would be a good thing. The sale will
be continued this afternoon and to-
morrow.

sists that they will make a success of
their undertaking in The west if sue

the application of funds to its prose
cution.
DR.. Mercer and Mr.. BalbaCh left for

Der shaft was started by Ward Barber,
the uncle of the Centennial citizen of
the same name, and pushed inward
and downward to the depth of more
than eighty feet, exposing a very rich
vein of copper ore of sufficient width
to give promise of a producing a mine
with development. The independence
company acquired this mine by pur-
chase and they will see that it is de
veloped to its worth. The Omaha gen
tlemen did not know when they would
return to the city.

A THEORY
IS EXPLODED
REPORT THAT CEMETERY ONCE
EXISTED AT THE PRESENT
SITE OF PLASTER MILL.
Rumored that Dozen or So Graves
Had Been Made There, All but
Three Bodies Having Been Re-
moved - John Connor Disputes
Theory, Being Here for Years.

1t was reported today that the find
ing of the body of a woman night
before last at the plaster mill was the
rediscovery of a burying place used
in the early days of the town by the
Catholics of the community, and that
there were other bodies in that neigh.
borhood. The report was that a dozen
or so graves had been made there, all
the bodies but three having been later
exhumed and reinforced in the GEM
etery west of the Laramie river.
J. w. Connor, who came to Lar
annie in 1867 INT has since lived here,
says there was never a cemetery
there. Some of his friends died in
1868, perhaps the first Catholics to
buried in a cemetery that was located
where the university now is. He
would have known had there been a
cemetery for people of that church
on the site Of the plaster mill, and
believes the body found was that of a
woman who died while with a moving
party across the plains. The presence
of the name, -. Boies." on the box
brings the date a long time subse-
quent to the opening Of the cemetery
west of the river and fixes the loca,
ton beyond question.
Nothing definite as to the identity
of the woman was made known today.
The bones were inferred In the pres
ent cemetery and will probably rest
there for the remainder Of time. The
body was decently buried, the soul
given commentator to the Almighty
