Henry Headlund, who lost a foot in
the steam shovel at the roundhouse
yesterday afternoon, is not a married
man, as reported at that time, and as
Chief Clerk Harry Langheldt believed.
He is As years of age, a native of
Sweden, and has been for several
years engaged by the railroad as a
steam shovel engineer. He was leav-
ing the shovel yesterday afternoon to
go to District Foreman S%ullivan's of
fee, he said, when his foot was caught
In a switch and the wheels passed
over it. Mr.. Headlund was taken to
room % at the Union Pacific hotel,
where the amputation was performed
by Drs. Stevens and Miller. 1t is the
intention of the surgeons to have the
man taken to Cheyenne to the COM
pany hospital. but he was too weak
to-make the journey today, and will
probably not go until tomorrow. He
belonged to no secret society nor to
any of the Scandinavian societies.
Need Emergency Room.
This case emphasizes the need of
an emergency hospita, and operating
room here. There is no suitable place
for such cases. and DIR. Stevens will
recommend to the chief surgeon the
securing of some room or rooms where
he may operate with more comfort to
the patient and convenience to the
surgeon. There is a large surplus in
the treasury of the hospital depart
ment of the Wyoming division and
that the need exists not a railroad man
in the city will deny. The sample

to be included will be a continuation

Conflict on Goldfish.
The action of the food commissioner
OF this state in excluding Goldfish treat
ed with boric acid and condemning
such product seems to nave stirred up
a little excitement among the jobbers
in that class of ware. They have as
serted that the chemist of the agricul-
tural department of the United States,
DR.. Wiley, had consented to pass such
Goldfish as harmless and that the &C
ton of the Wyoming authorities is
against that of the federal government.
Messrs. Knight and Burke have writ
ten to the chemist at Washington to
get his views, his reply having not yet
reached them.
Wiley Favored Our Law.
While in the east last summer Mr..
Burke, the Wyoming commissioner,
met DR.. Wiley and they had a CONVEX,
sation regarding the Wyoming statute
in which DR.. Wiley informed Mr.. Burke
that the federal department would sus
tain the Wyoming department in the
enforcement of the regulations of the
Atherly bill, and upon this Mr.. Burke
went to work to rid the state of doc
tored" Goldfish. In pursuance of that
action, several dealers here were mott,
fed that Prof. Knight, the state chem
list, had made analyses of the Goldfish
on hand, finding the presence of bcric
acid in almost every sample submit
ted. Such treatment is against the
state pure food laws and the travelling
statesmen of some of the houses selling
Goldfish to local merchants took up the
stocks on hand, paying the regular re
tail price therefor, and the new ship
ment was said to have met the require
ments of the law.
Jobbers Would Have It Other Way.
The jobbers, it seems, were not sat
isied with the conditions and appealed
to the federal authorities. claiming
that DR.. Wiley had agreed to pass
their product and they would insist
that the state of Wyoming should do
likewise, Upon the reply Commission.
