HAS GOOD PROPERTY
Start Sinking in abandoned Shaft on
Vulcan Mountain and run across
well Mineralized Rock

w. w. Petty was in town Mon
day displaying some good looking
rock which comes from a proper
ty owned by himself and John
Drumond. The claim is located
as the "Montezuma" and is situa-
ted south of South Spring Greek
Lake.
While prospecting Mr.. Petty
and Mr.. Drumond discovered an
abandoned shaft % feet in depth.
Upon investigation it was disscov-
cred the former locator had sunk
until an iron Gaping had been
struck. Several broken drills tes-
titled to his efforts to get through
the Gaping, but he had evidently
given up the job and left for parts
unknown. After much hard work
Mr.. Petty and Mr.. Drumond
broke through the Gaping and
the first shot threw out rock
carrying gold, silver, and copper
and from the quality and quantity
of the rock, they feel confident
they have an excellent proposition.
The vein is some 30 feet in
width on the surface and is well
defined. Work will be commenc-
ed in "A short time and a shaft sunk
to a good depth, when a cross cut
will be u to the vein.o This new
strike adjoins the property of
Ionis Nelson's which is consider
ed one the best prospects around
that part.

DR.. PERDUE MURDERED
While On a Visit to Richmond Mo. He
was shot through the Head death
resulting instantly

A telegram was received last
Thursday conveying the startlins
news that DIR. Emmett Perdue. of
Encampment, had been shot and
instantly killed Wednesday morn
ing, while on a visit at the home
of his wife's parents, in Rich
mond Mo.
The shooting occurred at 3
O'Clock in the morning and sus-
picion points to his wife as the
prepetrator of the deed. The
wound was in the back of the
head and was inflicted by a IS
caliber revolver. The opinion of
physicians called, is that the
wound WAS inflicted while the
doctor was asleep, death resulting
almost instantly.
A Coroner's inquest failed to
place the blame for murder, the
verdict being that the deceased
came to his death as the result
of a gunshot wound inflicted by
an unknown person.
DR.. Perdue was for some time
a resident of Saratoga being I'M
ployed at the time in the drug
store of Clemmons d Price. Sew
eral years ago he moved to En-.
campment, where he has gained
an excellent practice as a physi-
clan, founding the 'Good Shep-
ard" hospital at that place. Two
weeks ago he left for a visit to his
wife and children at Richmond
Trouble between the doctor and
his wife had caused their separa-
ton Two years ago. Mrs. Perdue
had taken the children and return
ed to the home of her stepfather,
Marion Lakey at Richmond. A
reconciliation with his wife was
the cause of Perdue's visit to
Richmond, he having expected
to bring her and the children
home with him on his return.
Mrs. Perdue refused to testify
at the coroner's inquest and every
thing tends to place the murder
upon her.

H0LD-UP At TT. STEELE
Two Men hold up Saloon Of Jens Hansen
last Thursday night Mexican
Shot Twice

Last Thursday night about 10
O'Clock two men held up Jens
Hansen's saloon in Fort Steele
and secured about $500. There
was about fifteen men in the sa-
loon at the time and all obeyed
the order to hold up their hands
except a couple of Mexican sheep
herders Valdez and Medina, who
attempted to escape. The rob-
bers fired at them, two bullets
striking Valdez, one breaking his
jaw and the other passing through
the abdoman. Medina escaped
uninjured.
The robbers then proceeded to
make the bar tender open the
safe and hand over the cash.
Medina gave the alarm immedi-
ately after his escape from the sa-
loon but before anything could be
done the robbers had escaped,
riding west from Fort Steele.
Sheriff Horton, of Rawlins, was
notified at once and came to Ft.
Steele but nothing could be done
until morning and the robbers
had about eight hours start,
which opportunity they improv-
ed to such an extent that no trace
of them has yet been found.
Valdez, the wounded man. was
taken to Rock Spring and placed
in the hospital, but no hopes are
entertained for his receiving.
One of the robbers is described
as a tall man, dark complexioned
weighing about 200 pounds, and
had his face blackened to prevent
Identification. The other was
about 5 feet six inches in height,
and would weigh about $50
pounds.
Nc clew to the identification
of the two men has been found.

THE SUN SHINES FOR ALL.

by the Station this year for breed
ing experiments were Double Stan
dard Polled Hereford cattle, Old
enburg Coach horses, and Tam
worth swine.
The report shows that sixty-two
bulletins have been issued since
the Station was established Civ
ing a deal of information about
Wyoming's agriculture. 1t con-
tains somewhere extended reports
of the breeding experiments the
irrigation and the work with
grasses, vegetables and other
crops conducted the past season.
This report will be widely dis.
tributed to state and experiment
Station off ;ials and it is under
stood that copies may be obtained
by those who are interested and
send a request to the Director of

Experiment Station Redort.

The Wyoming University Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has
issued its Fourteenth Annual Re
port for the last fiscal year. The
report is made to the Governor
by the Director and contains gen
eral statements of the purpose,
work, and needs of the Station,
fiancial report of the treasurer, and
accounts of work carried out by
the several members of the Station
Staff with plans for the investiga-
tons which will be undertaken
the coming year.
1t is a pamphlet of eighty-four
pages of printed matter and ten
pages of plates, Among the il
Illustrations are plates of the aband-
oned penitentiary buildings at
Laramie, now used for the Station
live stock Investigations; of grasses
and foliage plants which have been
found of value for Wyoming, and
of the lambs in some important
sheep feeding experiments which
were conducted last winter. The
complete results of the lamb feed
ing experiments will be published
in a bulletin to be distributed to
all interested. These experiments
are the first which have been con-
Quoted in the state to show the
value of field peas for fattening
lambs on ourhigh altitude ranches.
There is no doubt that the thous-
ands of lambs which are shipped
to other states as feeders can be
proftably fattened at home
The University Board of Trus-
tees and the Director are de-
termined to make the Experiment
Station of great value to the peo-
pie of the state and to that end
every effort is being made to equip
the Station farm with suitable live
stock for breeding investigations.
Animal experiments are expensive
and the ranchman who must find
out everything for himself gets
along slowly. 1t is the officers of
the Experiment Station who are
practically engaged in the business
make the largest profits and avoid
expensive mistakes. This partenal
munificence of the Government
for the benefit of agriculture is
not appreciated or made use of
to the extent it should be by our
Wyoming ranchman.

Disease Contracted and
spread by Coyotes
and Wolves
A DIFFICULT i, PROBLEM
II the Disease is to be stamped out ex-
traordinary measures must be
adopted

After a number of years Of Wig
orious effort on the part of the
flock masters of the state to stamp
from their hocks the disease
known as scabbies, it has been
discovered that this disease is
contracted and spread by wolves
and coyotes.
Every precaution has been
taken by the sheepmen to prevent
the spread and continuation of
scabbies. Sheep have been dip
ped and while the disease has
been kept in check, it has contin-
ued to appear in one flock or an
other from time to time in spite
of the precauston taken to pre-
vent it, and has been a matter of
much concern to sheep men, as
there wac APPARENTLY no cause for
infection
However the reason is explain
ed by a number of coyotes and
wolves being killed that we're in
fected with scab and it will be
Il difficult matter to stamp out
the disease with such feetfooted
and ever present pests to keep it
in circulation.
The disease affects coyotes and
wolves in the same manner as
sheep, the hair mating and fall
ing off leaving the hide bare in
patches. The hides thus affected
are of no value. Heretofore this
shabby and hairless condition has
been laid to the animals having
at some time gotten a dose of
strychnine which failed to kill,
but which acts on the hide simil-
arly to scabbies, but a closer ex-
animation has proven it to be
scabbies, which the animals have
undoubtly contracted from infect
ed hocks of sheep, and are keep.
ing in existence by entering non
infected hocks..
The problem that is now pre-
sented to sheepmen is a difficult
one to solve, and the extermina.
ton of the wolves and coyotes-an
almost impossible task-seems to
be about the only solution.

George G.. Gerber, a small mer-
chant at 9O7 South First street,
Laramie was foully murdered in
his store Thursday night by un-
known persons. The discovery
of tie CHASTITY crime was not

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Annual Congregational Meeting. held on
Tuesday evening January 18th
Good attendance.

~ -
of Saratoga was held last Tues
lay evening in the church. The
attendance was the largest of any
such meetings held for congrega-
tional purposes. The meeting was
opened with devotional exercises
by the Pastor after which the
business of the evening was pro-
ceeded with.
The report of the Board of Trus-
tees was read by Mr.. G.. E. Jensen
and showed a material advance
I've last year. The totel receipts
We're Sll2l.45 or an advance of
about 800 over the previous
year. No gratifying re-
port has been presented to the
congregation for many years.
The Report of the Ladies Aid
Society was received with much
interest. The Ladies Society is
one of the salient features OF
Church work and success is always
perched on their banners. The
Society presented an excellent
report of their work including the
visiting and sending of flowers
and fruit to the sick.
The chief work has been the
building and improving the
church property and much has
been done along this line with
out mourning any Indebtedness.
During the year the church has
been handsomely tinted and
mating laid in the aisles while
other improvements are in CON
temptation.
The Superintendent of the
Sabbath School presented a brief
hut excellent report. The school
had held sessions for 81 Sundays
with a total attendance of 266S or
an average of 60 per Sabbath.
Several new features have re-
Gently been added to the school
and we are now better equipped
than ever. The treasures ac-
count showed a balance of S1l.95
after paying the years expenses.
The Christian Endeavor report
Indicated the removal of several
active members during the past
year and our Society was some
what handicapped. But a new
impetus has been given the
work, by the addition of new
members. and with its new life
the society is pushing forward.
The Society's efforts, for financial
prestige among the Church
organizations, have been reward
ed and the treasurer's balance
shows a substantial sum to their
credit. The report of the Session
was read by the Moderator, and
showed a marked advance in the
spiritual life of the church. The
services have been well attended
which is indicative of the peoples
appreciation of the Sabbath ser.
vices as conducted by the pastor.
The report shows that the pastor
has otticiated at five weddings and
eight funerals. Only two deaths
were of persons connected with
our congregation, viz, Amelia, G..
kincaide, daughter Ct Mr.. and
Mrs. H.. A. kincaide and Blanche
Little, II little martyr to suffering
who went home to her Master on
a beautiful August day. During
the year the pastor made 250
calls in town and country. The
additions to the membership
Numbered 10, and Z of these were
on professions of faith. The ses-
sion recorded with JOY the faith of
one of these who walked 30 miles
to make a public confession of his
faith in Christ. The revised
members ship will comprise "A
names, with > on the list.
The board of trustees elected
for the present year are, Mr.. j.. S.
Stanley, Mrs. A. w. Eager, Mr..
G. +. Jensen, Mr.. w. III. Greene
and Mr.. w. l.. Lee.
