ARRANGING FOR A
STATE TOURNAMENT.

The Laramie Rod and Gun club had
a meeting last night and appointed a
committee consisting of Harry Cor
diner, DR.. McNiff and Will McMurray
to confer with the trustees of the AL
bany County and Inter-Mountain Fair
association concerning a state tourna-
ment to be held during the coming
county fair. 1t is the plan of the gun
club to invite the gun clubs at Rock
Springs, Douglas, Rawlins, Cheyenne,
Green River and Evanston, and all
others in the state, to take part, hold
ing tournament during the forenoons
of two days during the fair. This
would attract people to the fair
grounds at a time when they seldom
go, under ordinary circumstances, and
add tC the effectiveness of the fair. 1t
is believed the trustees will take hold
of the matter and offer some comfort
able premiums, The committee will
present the matter at once and in its
strongest light.

TWO STORES
ARE ROBBED
BURGLARS VISIT PACIFIC MAR
kET AND BRUNSWICK POOL
ROOMS THROUGH REAR.
Holes Cut in Panels, Bolts of Locks
Shot and Cash Registers Robbed
Of Small Amounts-Fred Cameron
Loses Some Fine Cigars and Also
Some Cigarettes.

A burglar last night made a raid on
two business houses, being successful
in gaining an entrance in each case
and also in each case receiving some
reward for the small service performed
in getting to the wealth he coveted.
The Pacific market was entered by the
rear door and the Fred Cameron pool
room was also entered, in much the
same way. At each place thu thief got
a few dollars, at the pool adding
a handful of cigars, possibly for his
friends, who smoke stronger substance
than himself, and also a lot Of cigar
cites evidently for his own uSe. That
| he understood the lay of the lane Is
shown by the marks Of the visitation
left by him.
Holes Cut in Panels.
The rear door il each instance "a
opened by cutting a hole through one
of the panels, near the lock, and shoot
ing the bolt. The way theL vas clear
to the cash register. Marshal Sigmar
/ makes the suggestion, in this connec
ton. that in each case the proprietors
left the rooms in utter darkness. so
that the burglar, once he gained en-
trance, and with the light coming from
the street through the front windows,
could work unmolested, not for the few
minutes required in this instance, but
for the whole evening, If necessary, a
policeman on the street being at a
great disadvantage.
Small Holes Cut.
The holes in the door are vecy much
alike. At the rear of the market build.
ing the thief had to cut his way
through the screen door as well, but
that was a simple matter. He made
three holes, the third being in the right
place to locate the hook with which the
door was fastened. The screen door
out of the way, with a knife he whitfield
through the thin pine panel to the lock
inside and thence to the cash register,
which vas opened and its contents
taken. Not even a penny was left to
make change with this morning. The
thief even went into the storage room
at the market, but why no one seems
to know.
Helped Himself to Fine Cigars
At the billiard hall the screen door
was not cut, the thief having direct
access to the soft pine door. The hole
was barely large enough for the hand
of the thief, but he managed to do the
work and secured what money there
was in the cash register. In each place
the amount stolen did not exceed four
or five dollars. Mr.. Cameron lost some
two-for-a-quarter cigars, the thief
showing rare taste in that direction,
but he spoiled all the good that might
be said OF him by taking the cigarettes.
Police Are at Work.
The police are at work on the case,
but so far have no clews that they are

Wyoming Station Ahead.

The appropriation, coming at the
time when the station had already un-
dertaken some suggestions in the mat
ter of sheep raising, is a most crafty
ing one, placing the Wyoming station
ahead of any other in the country in
this line of work. The Colorado sta.
ton is making some Investigations to
determine the proper breed of horses
for that state and the mountain sec.
ton of the country, but it was left to
the Wyoming station to investigate the
sheep and wool proposition. Prof. Buff,
fun says that Wyoming is looked upon
as one of the greatest sheep and wool
states in the world, and that the de-
partment of agriculture is doing much
to help this feature of the work for the
benefit of the farmer n stockman.
For Good of the State.
1t is not yet known who will consti-
tute the committee to select the ewes
for the breeding tests, but there will
be no loss of time. The sheep will be
picked up regardless of location, but
with an eye to their adaptability first
to the needs of Wyoming and then to
the benefit of the whole sheep and
wool growing section.
