The Republican sincerely hopes the
~reorganized commercial club will have
the undivided support of the people OF
Laramie. United action can accom-.
plish wonders. The time is ripe foi
this city to take an important forward
step. Railroads are lowering close TO
Laramie. They should be given en-
enlargement to come in. Coal mines
are awaiting development. Laramie
needs cheap fuel for manufacturing
purposes. Miners are developing the
Douglas creek district. They should be
given every encouragement. Farmers
are turning their attention to the Lara
mic plains. Every encouragement in
the way of good roads, etc, should be
given them. Great shale beds await
the coming of cement manufacturers
and all the ingredients for the making
of first-class glass are at hand. This
fact must be kept prominently before
the people of the nation. But the
greatest thing that any Individual a
do is to give his untiring, loyal sup
port to the commercial organization.

The Cheyenne Tribune publishes an
article to the effect that it is the pur-
pose of the Union Pacific to cut out
Athol hill by building a 2O-mile cutoff
between Carr station and Borie, max
ing the freight transfer for the west
at the latter station instead of at Chey-
enne. 1t does not say whether the pas
senger transfer will be made at Borie
or not, but the presumption is that 1t
would be just as unwise to haul west
bound passengers into Cheyenne and

Mont Gilead, Ohio, Dec. 12.-After
marrying five sisters, all of whom died
natural or violent death, James Craven
of this city today welded the sixth and
only remaining sister in the Lamprecht
family.
Craven met the family when in Mon
tana thirty years ago. He established
a trading post and married Nora Lam
precht. A jealous Indian, who had
wished to marry Nora, shot the woman
through a window of their cabin.
He Lost No Time.
Four hours later Craven married Ma
rie Lamprecht, who also was killed by
the same Indian. Then Craven mar
ried Efie, the third daughter. She,
too, was killed by the Indian. o..
Craven returned to Ohio, but found
he could not be contented. He went
back to Montana and married Helen
Lamprecht, 20 years old. After this
wedding he heard the Indian was still
in the neighborhood. He lay in wait
and shot the redskin. Soon after, his
wife was taken Ill and died.
Will Give up Now.
Bertha Lamprecht went to Craven's
home to care for his little boy, and he
married her. She was thrown from her
horse and killed. Craven then came
home to Ohio.
