NAME FOR ANIMAL
CAUGHT KILLING FISH.

Several weeks ago State Fish Com
missioner S. II. Campbell caught an
unknown animal in the hatchery. 1t
was like a mouse, but lived in the
water. He submitted a specimen to
DR.. Nelson, the zoologist at the uni
yersity, and the doctor in turn sent it
to Washington to the bureau of biolog,
ical survey. After some delay, caused
by a misunderstanding between two of
ficials as to which should attend to the
matter, DR. Nelson today received q
note from Prof. H. w. Henshaw, act
ing chief of the survey, with the fol
lowing contained therein:
The animal in question is a water
shrew (NeosOreX), which habitually
lives upon insects and small mammals,
We know however, of several in
stances in which they have destroyed
fish fry, although rarely to the extent
mentioned by you. If you will secure
a few Out O. Sight mouse traps and
use minnows for bait, you will prob
ably have no difficulty whatever in cap
turing the whole colony. The traps
should be set, if possible, under an
ovarhanging bank close to the water
Mr.. Campbell of the hatchery has
taken eight full grown and one youns
of the species since he discovered theil
presence in the hatchery.

BATTERIES
IN LARAMIE
TWELFTH AND NINETEENTH EN-
CAMPED AT FAIR GROUNDS EN-
ROUTE ACROSS THE STATE.
Arrived at Eleven O'clock, Having
Spent the Night at the Stickney
Ranch, and viii Proceed to Fort
D.. A. Russell Tomorrow-com-
manded by Veteran ArtiIieryman.

Three Weeks on Road.
The batteries left Fort Douglas, Salt

been marching steadily since, resting
on Sundays and keeping exactly up
with their schedules. They were due
here today and arrived in time to get
in shape for an afternoons rest. The
fair grounds have a very military as
pect. The cadets of the university are
present in large numbers, and a base
ball game between the university club
nj a club made up of battery boys is
in progress al this time.
Uniforms Attracted Attention.
The two batteries passed up Grand
avenue about the time the young
ladies were going from the university
for their midday luncheon, and the
neat uniforms of the girls attracted
the attention of the grizzled artillery
men, although as far as heard from
not an insulting remark was made.
The boys of the university were told
by Captain Heavey to visit the en-,
campment in as large numbers as con,
venient, and to ask every question not
impertinent that would throw light
Upon their military training. That the
boys did this is evidenced by the limp
appearance of the soldiers after a
siege of questions.
Had a Pleasant Trip.
Lieutenant Williams, the ordnance
officer, in conversation with a repre-
sentative of The Republican, stated
that the batteries On the whole had
had a very pleasant trip so far, al
though the most of the members Of
the two organizations will be glad to
get to Fort Russell and settle down
for a long rest. Some of the men hao
given out during the long march, but
taken altogether there had been little
suffering. Both batteries are wei
supplied with equipment and botf
have seer active service. Officers ane
men are feeling first-rate.

New York, May 1S.-On the Carl
Scurz funeral train yesterday, Andrew
Carnegie talked to a group of young
men on socialism and what a man in
New York without a dollar should do.
He said:
No Support From State.
81 am an individualist. | don't think
we should expect support from the
state. If l were a young man | would
not ask anyone to help me. l would
work for a dollar a day, if necessary,
and one can always get work if he
wants it. Manufacturers are willing
to pay SO a day, yet find difficulty in
getting labor.
Not Right Sort of Socialism.
Socialism of a sort is still growing
in this country. 1t is not the solution
of labor difficulties. The man who is
always complaining that he has no
chance is the man who is himself to
blame"

Richards was probably overlooked in
the count.
The Second Escape.
This is the second man who has es.
capped since Mr.. Gramm assumed the
lease of the p~enitentiary, a splendid
record for the officials of the prison.
An old man named Chicken" Brown
several months ago managed to secure
a civilian suit of clothes and walk
away under the very eyes of one of the
guards, who afterwards, when he
knew that Brown had escaped, declar-
ed he had seen him go.
One Prisoner Killed.
During Mr.. Gramm's regime n
prisoner was killed in an attempt to
escape. He had managed to escape
once before, but was recaptured. The
second attempt resulted in his death.
The guards saw him in time to try to
halt him, but he paid no heed to them
and one of them shot him down. Posses
are searching for Richards and he may
be taken shortly.

From the information at hand, it is
believed Richards secreted himself in
the broom factory at the close of the
work day yesterday, and during the
night scaled the walls of the prison,
using a piece of iron pipe that had been
left in the yards, where workmen had
been employed in installing the new
power plant. The guards declare they
counted the correct number of prison
ers both upon returning from work and
afterwards, but it is considered abso-
lutely impossible for Richards to have
escaped after being locked in the cell
houses. The guards mount the wall
in the morning before the men are
brought from their cells, and Richards
could not have scaled the wall after
they came on.

Richards was received at the prison

Master Mechanic William INLAND of
the Wyoming division of the Union Pa
cifc passed through the city at noon
today, IN route to his home at Chey-
enne with his young son, William, who
was injured near Cokeville, Wyo.,
night before last, by the explosion of
a cannon firecracker, N who for a
time yesterday was believed to have
lost his right eye. Mr.. INLAND says the
young mans face is badly swollen to,
across his face, but it is believed the
eye was not injured. Young Mr.. Nj
land was lying on a berth in a sleeping
car, resting easily and feeling little
pain from his wounds.
Was Frightening Coyotes.
William INLAND is learning the stock
business on the deserts of the western
part of the state, with a view to engag-
ing in the business for himself later.
He was in camp nea Cokeville with
the herders, who employ giant firecrack.
ers to brighten wolves and coyotes from
their flocks. The boy, who is only 20
years of age, had lighted the fuse OF
one of these crackers. He believed
the match had gone out before the fuse
was lighted and was in the act of get
ting another match from his pocket
when the CROKER exploded in his hand
A piece of the case struck him in the
face, laying the forehead and cheek op
en-, the wound crossing the face over
the right eye.
Mas Treated at Green River.
Such assistance as could was given
the boy at the camp and he was hur,
ried to Green River, where the com,
pany surgeon dressed the wound and
where it was learned that while his
face was quite badly cut and the flesh
barred to the bone, the right eye was
not badly injured. Mr.. inland was tel,
egraphed to and went at once to his
sons side, bringing him across the state
today and thence to their home at
Cheyenne. Young Mr.. INLAND had
worked four years for Grif Edwards
the big stockman, and a little while
ago had gone to one of Tim Kinney!
camps to learn the desert. He and hi'
father will embark in the stock bust
ness together.
