ATTACKED
BY A LION
GENUINE AND UNVARNISHED wy,
DINING TALE OF DANGER
AND RESCUE.
tain Lion While He Was At Work
and Unarmed, But General J. r.
Davis With His Pump Gun Made
Short Shrift of Animal.

President Roosevelt and party are
not the only one doing strenuous
stunts in the Staying of bears, lions and
other wild animals, as the following
account of n very lively affair of this
kind occurred in the vicinity of the
South Fork mines, fifty miles west OF
Cody, on Wednesday last, says the
Wheatland World.
This is the location of the valuable
mining propositions now under active
development by their owner, Mr.. John
E. Kearns. The particulars of the in
cident were as follows:
One of the miners, Mr.. Ed Hope, was
running a cut on the top OF the bank
and being busily engaged at his duties
did not notice the approach of a mon
ster mountain lion, which had stealth
lily crept towards its intended victim.
The noise made by the cracking of a
dry twig caused Hope to glance up and
the sight of the beast, preparing to
spring upon him, nearly paralyzed him
with fear. a few feet from him was
a large cottonwood tree, and partly re
covering from his fright he made rec
ord breaking time for the tree, closely
pursued by the lion. Quickly grasping
the lower branch he swung himself up
out of immediate danger. He was
none too soon, however, as the nimble-
footed beast, when he saw his prey
escaping made a desperate lunge, sue
ceeding in tearing off a piece of the
working jacket by Hope. Dis
appointed and maddened, the fierce
beast emitted several blood. curdiing
roars, accompanied by furious lashing
of his tail.
Mr.. Hope added his cries to the noise
of the animal and finally attracted the
attention of that great lion killer, Gen
eral j. R. Davis. This interpit hunter.
after taking in the situation at a
glance, ran to his cabin a short dis
lance away, and arming himself with
the magnificent repeating rifle, present
ed to him by Colonel w. +. Cody. upon
the occasion of his rescuing the great
scout and thereby saving his life when
the colonel vas surrounded by a num-
Der of vicious lions a year or so since,
he boldly struck out to attack the lion
and relieve Hope. Gaining an advan-
tageeous position unobserved by the
ferocious beast, Davis opened fire,
sending sever bullets into the body of
the animal before it succumbed.
After the hide of the dead monster
was removed, it was shown to measure
eight feet and eight inches, being one
of the largest specimens ever killed in
this section. The hide was presented
to Mr.. Kearns and has been sent to
Chicago to be tanned and lined. when
it will be added to the already fine col
lection of wild animal robes possessed
by that gentleman.

How to Cook Rice.

Physicians and others who have eat

results obtained by these artists and
those Of the benighted cooks Of the

source that the secret lies in the fol-
lowing recipe:
h rice should be carefully washed
and placed In q kettle Of boiling water,
which should be set on the back Of the

FIRE At RAWL|NS
CAUSES A SCARE.
FRAME WAREHOUSE FOUND TO
BE A6LAZE IN WIND BLOW
ING A GALE.
Prompt Work Of Fire Department
Saves Business Section Of City
Tramps Arrested and Believed to
Be ResponsibIe-Death Of Old
Time Engineer.

Rawlins, Wyo, May 9.-Just at noon
yesterday fire was discovered in the
west end of the large frame warehouse
Of J. w. Hugus & Co., in the western
part of the city.
By prompt work the firemen got the
fire out before it gained Roadway,
which undoubtedly saved the business
part OF the city from destruction, for
the wind was blowing a gale at the
time and if the fire had gotten a
start, nothing could have prevented it
from sweeping through the row of
wooden buildings on Front street, if
indeed, it did not spread to the other
streets.
Two hoboes, who have refused SO
far to Civ" their names, have been ar
rested for setting fire to the building,
and they were put in the sweat box
last afternoon to see if they would
tell what they know of the fire.
A liveryman, who lives near the
building, says that he saw the men
kindle the fire.

HAIL To THEE,

Reviewing tie opening of spring

dition of an entirely new quantity to

drew Carnegie, who, finding libraries
but n slow means of carrying off his
income, is hoping 10 accelerate the
speed OF its departure by turning it
into the more fluid form of water. The
Princeton undergraduates are not
Boston ministers in contemplating the
gifts of Mr.. Rockefeller, nor do they,
apparently, share the anguish which
has tortured some sensitive souls that
the thrifty steel kings methods of pre-
pairing his penniless entry into heaven
should be extended then to the hallow-
ed ground of an ancient university. A
lake is a lake, apparently. its genesis
will soon be forgotten and in our
minds eye we see future generations
of sons of old Nassau sitting in the
moonlight, dissolved in sentiment, and
singing to u banjo accompaniment
some such words as
Hail to thee, o fair Carnegie!
Hail, thou sunlit inland sea!
Alma Matters ancient waters;
Hail Carnegie. GIail t o thee"
When completely the lake will have
set Mr.. Carnegie back about one hun
dred n seventy-five thousand dollars.

CRYING FOR HELP.
Lots Of It in Laramie But Daily Grow
ing Less.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so
delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There a be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tons of kidney trouble.
1t is the kidneys cry for help. Heed
it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and %invigorate the
kidneys; help them to do their work;
never fail to cure any case of kidney
disease.

zen.

says. when l first learned about
Doan's Kidney Pills and went to the
Laramie Drug company's store for
them the pain in my back was Just
commencing. l used the treatment as
directed and the aching ceased. So
pleased was I with the speedy cure
that / advised a friend of mine to try
the remedy. and, following my advice,
she took a course of the treatment.
The results were equally as %pronounc-
ed as in my case. This, l think,
stamps Doan's Kidney Pills as a medi-

WYOMING PRICES
NOW At THE TOP
WOOL MARKET MAKING A NEW
RECORD IN THE MARKETS
AT BOSTON.
Extreme Prices Paid in West Make a
Cleaned Cost In That Center of
Seventy Cents, But Manufacture
ers Are Not Letting That Inter-
fere With Desire to Get Good Lots.

Boston, Mass, May 9.-The situation
IN the wool market may be briefly sum
married. as more excited in the west
and advancing here. Contracting is
still going on in the primary markets,
recent sales having been made at the
highest prices yet reported. In Mon
tana rs sc has been paid and csc ev-
en- has been reported. In Wyoming
23c is the highest paid, and several
clips have been secured at 81 to 22hc.
The extreme prices paid mean, of
course, a clean cost here of roc, or ev-
en- ore. However, this seems to
have little effect upon buyers, who are
man1festing even eagerness to
secure contracts than before. The
prices being paid in Wyoming are said
to De the highest on record, and in
Montana nearly up to the record. On
ly two of the leading houses are now
said to be out of the contracting, all
the others being reported to have been
operating, though a few of them held
off for a long time. The firmness shown
in he London market in the wool
sales opened Tuesday has been a ma
terial help here, as prices on the do
nestle product were rapidly approach
ing if not fully up to the importing
point.

TO IMPROVE THE HOME.
Real Beginning Of All Progress, Says
George W.. Cable.


George W.. Cable.
In his study of social and indus
trial problems Mr.. George w. Cable
constantly realized that the real OBJ
stacle to the progress of democracy
to which, for good or i'll. we are COM
mitted-is class distinction, says Ly-
man P. Powell in the Bonklovers
Magazine. To break this down, Mr..
Gable proposed to call the home into
immediate requisition. He said re-
peatedly: THE private home is the
public hope He would make the
home the beginning and the end OF
his philosophy Of popular education.
Observing that the average man is
at his best in the normal home be-
cause there he is best known. Mr.. Ca
BILE proposed to energize the home. to
develop in 1t the home spirit to its
highest and its best. to group con-
tiguous homes together by a common
interest in higher and in better
things. and in this way to sweeten
and to purify the atmosphere Of each
community until all class distinc-
lions in it should die Of sheer anemia.
From discussion he went on
to action; and he had the pleasure
during the first year or two of seeing
twenty clubs in successful operation
in his home town of Northampton.

A THRIVING BUSINESS.

Frequently a large business is built
up in a very short time through en-
crgy, perseverance and integrity. Fair
dealing counts in this century just as
it did in the last and will continue to
count lear IN to the end of time.
When a man finds he is getting a
square deal he does not often change
business houses, unless perchance he
is able to buy his goods cheaper or bet
ter elsewhere. All things being equal,
however, the business man can depend
upon those customers who AVE receiv-
ed fair and honorable treatment at his
hands.
The foregoing remarks were called
forth by a business of large proper
lions that has grown up at Laramie
right under our very noses. without
much ado and with very few people be
coming acquainted with its magnitude.
Reference is had to the business being
done by the gentlemen who are in
charge of the Union Pacific stoCkyards
at this point. Last year they handled
more than one million sheep and nun
dreds of cars of cattle and horses.
They handled a larger number of ami
mails than were handled at the Omaha
stockyards. But best of all, they han,
out any friction and with no com,
plants. In a single day $4,000 sheep
were fed at the Laramie yards. This
Is believed to be the record for any
western yards, and yet it was done in
such a quiet, transformations name
hat no one heard of it and nothing
but good words were expressed by the
shippers. The stockmen of the entire
west now look upon Laramie as the
best feeding point on the line-perhaps
in the entire west. They get a square
deal here-one hundred pounds of hay
for every hundred they pay for, and of
prime quality at that. None of the
Nebraska bottom hay goes at this point
now, but the choicest native variety.
This fact has worked up a large local
market for hay and thousands of tons
have been disposed of by our ranch
men at the Laramie yards.
The yards have been wonderfully in
creased in capacity and in facilities
for feeding and grazing stock. To the
east OF the Big Laramie river more
than 10000 acres of good grazing lands
are under fence. A considerable wa
ter frontage is controlled, so that
stock get all the good running water
they require, which in itself is of vast
importance in feeding stock. To the
west of the river the yard managers,
Messrs. ]. H. Davis and w. C. Thomas,
have secured by purchase two and one-
half sections Of splendid land, mostly
farm land. They have purchased out
right the Maynard ranch and the Bren-
nan ranch and have secured a lease,
with m option to purchase. on the
Charles Trabing ranch. These fine
uoperties have in years gone by pro
duced . large quantity Of hay, but the
output will be increased. Skillful ir-
rigators have been employed and the
land will be brought up to a much
higher standard than 1t has possessed
In The past. Much Of the land
