A LIGHT VOTE
WAS POLLED
Very Little Interest Taken In
Election.
But Primary Reform Was Carried
Delegates Elected TO County
Convention.

An exceedingly light vote was pollsd a
the election held in this city Tuesda,
showing that there was but very little
interest taken in the preliminary work o
reform in the primaries and Of the cleo
tons to follow. however the vote, wha,
there was of it, was overwhelmingly ir
favor OF the proposition. there being 49
votes cast for primary reform and g
votes against.
The vote in favor Of direct nominations
on all other propositions carried in about
the same ratio.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
by the voters while in the booths trying
70 make up the list of delegates 10 she
county convention.
In every ward large number Of names
were placed on the various ballots. 81
psrsons being mentioned as candidates in
,the third ward and over 40 in the second
In the "a names mentioned in the third
ward as delegates to the republican
county convention, there were five demo
Gratis on the republicans tickets besides
names OF several republicans who reside
in the two other wards Of the city, show
ing concusively the need of some con-
certed action in choosing delegates for
the several wards
THE DELEGATES
In the first ward the following named
persons were chosen as delegates to the
i republican convention: John Arnwine,
20. J. Barker, Art Foss, n. L. Sowles, j.
II. Armstrong, John Scott and E. E. Hud-
son. The democratic delegates elected
, were |. L. Hubbell, Art Brown. Daniel

and Chas. Hoyt.
In the second ward the delegates
chosen by the republicans were Brinton
IF. Hall. George W. Moulton, Joseph An
yell, W. |. Benedict, Oscar A. Day and

bs wanting in this ward as no names

Lee Cusser. Fred w. Howard. and
Dwight c. Sheldon. The democrats
chosen for delegates we're W. F. Bricker,
Frank J. Luck, Frank Connell Harry
Connell and Louis II. Stone.
The vote on various propositions look
ing to primary reform was light one but
it showed the desire of the citizens of
Belding along that line almost the entire
vote registering in favor of the same
Many people who would have voted had
forgotten the date although 1t was we'll
advertised in the Banner. The future of
primary reform is assured but it is too
bad that there was not a larger vote
polled throughout the state in the interest
Of this seemingly popular movement.
The cry has gone forth for primary re-
form. but the vote in Michigan, especially
in Belding shows an apathy along that
line that makes indications show the Gov
eted prize is but the creation Of the minds
of a few.

Remember The Ordinance

Last Monday while riding a bicycle on
Pleasant street. Bay Sherwood ran into
little Elsie Mlllard and njuring her very
severely knocking her down and running
over her. People using the sidewalk for
bicycle riding should remember that city
ordinance requires that all riders should
dismount when within 20 feet Of any per-
son walking on the sidewalk. Comply
ing with this feature Of the ordinance will
avoid any repetition OF the unfortunate
accident that befel the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Millard.

TRAGEDY
Sheep Herders Battle I'm
til Both are Killed in
S~anguinary Duel.

A special to The Tribune from
Rawlins June Is, says:-Coroner
Bennett, accompanied by his
brother, has left for Copperton, in
the southern part of the county,
in response to a telephone mes
sage giving the details of a double
tragedy which occurred there.
The duel, which was to the
death, occurred between two Mex
lean sheep herders, one. named
Pineros, employed by George
Phillips, and the other named
Cortez, in the employ of the Pho
neer Sheep company. The two
men became involved in a quarrel
over the trsspass of some sheep on
leased land and Pineros drew a
gun and threatened to kill Cortez.
The latter was unarmed and so the
trouble ceased for the time being.
Cortez returned to his camp, Sc
cured a gun and during the after
noon returned after his enemy. AS
soon as the men met Pineros drew
his gun and fired, Cortez dropping
OF the first fire, MORALLY wounded
with q bullet through his body. A
bystander at once grabbed Pineros
to wrest the gun from him when
Cortez raised himself on his elbow
and taking deliberate aim, fired.
Pineros fell, also MORALLY wound
ed. Pineros died about shutdown
and Cortez fingered for several
hours.

A. M. McAnally has been a resi-
dent of the valley for the past
twenty years, during which time
he has held many places of both
public and private trust. He was
a member of the lower house in
the 7th State Legislative Assembly
of Wyoming, county assessor for
Carbon county for a term of two
years, after which he became a
member of the firm of Baker,
Bremen & McAnally of this place.
In April, 1904, he was appointed
postmaster of this place, which
position he still holds, giving most
excellent satisfaction.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark will take up
their regidence in the j. B. Eager
cottage, on the corner of End and
Farm streets, in the northern part
of town. Mr.. and Mrs. McAnally
will occupy rooms in the residence
of A. W. Eager. on Saratoga street.
Later they will occupy the cottage
in which Mrs. Emma Walker now
resides, as she expects to go to
California for a visit with Mrs.
Trapp this fall.

other friends in wishing these
newly welded people all the hap

WINDSOR STABLE Improvements

The proprietors of the Windsor
Livery Stables contemplate erect
ing a will mill and tank at their
barns on River street in a short
time. The tank will not only
furnish protection against fire,
but it will also be very useful in
washing off livery rigs of all
kinds, as well as cleansing the
legs of horses of mud during the
sloppy season. By means of a
hose a horse can be cleaned better
and with more comfort in five
minutes than in an hours hard
rubbing by hand. The Windsor
boys are wide awake to anything
that will benefit their business or
add to the comfort of their equine
boarders.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
U. p. REDUCES PASSENGER RATES

At a meeting of the Hartman
and Santa Fe systems recently it
was determined to reduce passen-
ger rates all over their lines, the
reduction to take place July l,
1906. The rate per mile in Wyo-
ming, Idaho and Utah on the
Union Pacific and Oregon Short
lines will be 3 cents per mile.
This is a reduction of one cent
per mile and follows a voluntary
reduction of one cent made a year
ago on the Union Pacific line in
Wyoming. A reduction of from
one to two cents was also made all
over the Hartman and Santa Fe
systems west and south, including
lines in Nevada, Oregon, Cali
%fornia, Arizona, New Mexico and
other western states covered by
those two systems.

Children's Day.

"Children's Day" at the Presby-
terean church, which came off last
Sunday. was one of the most
pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable
entertainments that Saratoga has
had in that line.
The church was packed to see
and and hear the little ones and
no one went away disappointed.
The training of the children in
their parts fell mainly upon Mrs.
w. p. Walker, who was ably as
sisted by Mrs. G. E. Jensen. The
musical part was entirely in the
hands of Mrs. Stearns and was
well cared for.
The hour was set for 10 o'clock
a. M, but it was almost IL O'Clock
before the entertainment opened.
Songs, recitations and drills made
up the program and the children
acquitted themselves very well in
deed. The little tots the size and
age of Edna Paulson, Elizabeth
and Regenia Jensen and Sallie
Button were small performers to
be ON the stage, but they sang and
did their parts as well as the older
children.
Every one who attended the
Presbyterian church on that day
will long remember "Children's
Day" as one of the most pleasant
they have had the opportunity tc
attend.

FORGED A CHECK.

Harry Jewett, formerly of Grip
pie Greek, Colo, who drove stage
on Scribner's line from Walcott to
Encampment for a month or SO
this spring, forged a check on
Andy johnson, the big sheepman,
passed it on Buckley & Ryan at
Walcott and then faded away and
has not been seen since. He went
to Walcott and was having a royal
good time with the boys. They
were all of them half seas over
when Harry produced the check,
which was readily cashed by Buck
ley & Ryan. After a few more
drinks he disappeared. When the
check was presented to Mr.. john
son he pronounced it a forgery.
No trace of Jewett has been found
since the night of his disappear
ance. Jewett is we'll known in the
upper end of the valley and his
friends are very much surprised
to think he would be guilty of
such an act.

Had Narrow Escape

Mrs. Thomas Lottier had a mar
row escape from drowning last
Friday. She went to the river,
near the bath house, to get a pail
of water. The current caught the
bucket and drew her into the wat
er over her head. By putting her
hand on the bottom of the up
turned bucket she managed to
get hold of the shore and pull her
self to safety, very much wet and
very much scared. Her escape
was a very narrow one, for the
river was bank full and very swift.

COMMENCING
WORK
Penn Wyoming Copper

Vigor--R Rebuild Power
House and Concentra-
o~r--Tramway Extension

The Penn : Wyoming Copper
Company are making preparations
to do some Of the largest and m st
extensive development work ever
done in southern Carbon county.
They are busy clearing away the
burned portion of the old power
house and concentrating plant at
this time and as soon as this is &C.
c~omplished, they will let the con-
tracts for rebuilding these struct-
ures. There will also be develop
ment work in the nature of new
structures at the Doane-Kambler
mine, now owned by the Penn
Wyoming people.
They are laying in a large
amount of supplies at the Ferris
Haggarty mine with the view of
sinking that property 1000 feet
deeper than at the present time.
The first consignment of provis-
ions and mining supplies of all
kinds, destined for this latter
point, consists of nearly fifty tons
weight. This u prosperity
to that district and means that
the mine, which has already made
southern Carbon county famous,
is to be still further exploited.
Arrangements have also been
made to sink an additional 1000
feet on the Doane-R Rambler, and
when this is completed that mine,
one of the richest mines in all the
world, will be in shape to ship ore
without interruption.
The Doan-R Rambler is also to be
connected with the tramway by a
branch tramway from the mine to
No. 3 station. All of this work is
to be pushed as fast as men and
teams can do the work and when
the railroad reaches Encampment
the Penn Wyoming Company will
be prepared to give it IN abund-
ance of blister copper for transport
tation.
