ROCK SPRINGS BANK
BREAKS THE RECORD.

Mrs. Eli Crumrine of this city, wife
of the vice president of the Albany
County National bank, this morning
received from Rock Springs a New
York draft for 81, 900, being her divi-
dend on ten shares of the stock of the
Rock Springs National bank, of the
par value of 500 each, which she
owns. This is a special dividend of
100 per cent from the net earnings
of the bank for the past year, and is
in addition to the two regular semi
annual dividends OF 6 per cent each,
the first of which she received in July
and the second of which Will come
within the next few weeks. Mr.. Crum-
rine bought the shares when the Dank
was young and gave them to his wife,
expecting she would get an occasional
dividend. One year she received a
special dividend of 25 per cent; last
year the special dividend was 40 per
cent. and this year it is 100 e cent
The Rock Springs National has per
haps broken the dividend record fol
the state.

CAPITAL RESEMBLES
GREAT SOLDIER CAMP

The appearance of st. Petersburg
and the events here seem to paint a
black picture of the future. The cap
ital resembles a great military camp.
The patrols everywhere were doubled,
and grim looking cannon rumbled
through the streets today. What hap
pened smacked strangely of the old
regime.
The remnants of the workmen's
council, with delegates from the rail
road mems union and other organiza-
tons, are holding a meeting tonight to
decide the question of a general strike.
If the government deliberately plans
a challenge now, it has chosen its time
well, as the funds of the organizations
are low and many workmen are tired
Of the strike and of starvation. Some
of the leaders have lashed themselves
into fury and are urging that the gov
challenge must be imme-
diately accepted.

payment of grazing fees from stockmen
pasturing live stock on forest reserves.
In this they have the approval of the
secretary of agriculture n of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and with this approval
supporting them they will insist upon
payment of grazing fees.
1t is stated by forestry officers that
protests against payment of grazing
fees have come from but two portions
of the west affected by the order.
These are the western slope of Colora-
do and the Green river district OF wy.
oming. All other localities have ap.
proved the proposition to pay grazing
fees.
The forestry bureau today announc.
ed that in order to protect and assist
home builders, a special concession
will be made in the grazing fee on cat
tie for the season Of 1906, as follows:
Permits of each state or territory for
the year 1905 will be listed in order of
the number of cattle covered. Then,
beginning with the smallest, one-half
of the permits will be counted off and
the number of cattle shown by the
largest of these permits will be taken
as the basis for this concession.
Applicants for grazing permits will
be charged only half rate on cattle up
to the number thus established for
their state or territory, but all cattle
over this number will be charged fol
at the full rate. Under this conces
sion small owners of cattle will be
called upon to pay but half rates for
the coming season. The size Of herds
entitled 10 half rate will vary in differ
ent states, but will average about rs,
so that owners of this or a smaller
number of cattle will be called upon for
half rates only. The grazing fees to
be charged will depend somewhat upon
the nearness of the reserves to trans
p%ortation facilities and will average 20
to 25 cents per head for cattle for the
summer seaso and 80 to 40 cents for
the entire year.
Sheep rates for the summer season
in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Mon
tana will be 5 cents per head. Oregon
and washington rates have not been
established, but will be the maximum
rates, probably 10 cents per head fol
sheep TO rthe grazing season.

LaVeta, Colo, Dec. 12.-After being

by a crowd of sixteen masked men,
John w. Leonard, a prominent coal
contractor of this place and Denver,
on last Sunday night was taken by
his captors to the outskirts of the city,
a rope was placed around his neck
and he a suspended in the air, and
not until the last breath of life was
almost departing from his body did
the tightly masked men loosen the
rope and lower their prisoner to the
ground. This was repeated a number
of times, until Leonard finally was lett
for dead. He was rescued later n
taken to W%alsenburg, where he 10Y

hourly expected.
Evidence points to a number OF
other coal contractors as being mem

Leonard has been a very successful
contractor with the Great Western
Coal company, and it is believed by
those interested that a professional
jealousy of his success caused his op'
