QUITE WIDE AWAKE
AND UP TO DATE


The following note to the business
department Of The Republican was re
ceived this morning from E. S. Snow,
publisher of the Kearney County Advo-
cate at Lakin, Kas., and dealer in
hardware, furniture and coal and UNI
dertaker of Lakin, which is self-ex-
pla%natory:
Enclosed please find S1.50 for sub
scription to date and then discontinue
the paper to this address. l have been
away from Laramie now for more than
twenty years, and see so little oil in
terest TO me, and the names of so few
people l know, that the paper has no
longer the attraction that IL once had.
/ know there is but little to interest
but / find few of my exchanges
that are as wide awake, up to date and
progressive, or which boom their town
and county like The Republican.
Kindly remember me to Jack Con
nor, Charlie Houston and other old
timers there"

BOSTON TRANSCRIPT MAN WITH
CoCK-AND-BULL STORIES
ABOUT WYOMING CAT
TIE INTERESTS.
Wrote an Article Concerning Great
Frauds by the Commissioner of the
General Land office In the Open
ing of the Rosebud Indian Reserva-
tion-Editor of Paper Called Down
m Correspondent Warned.
Special to The Republican.


Washington, D. c., Jan. William
r. Lighton, whose recent defamatory
article on Wyoming, published in the
Boston Transcript, has attracted some
attention, is not unknown in Washing
ton. Somewhat over a year ago when
the Rosebud Indian reservation was to
be opened, Lighton visited the reser-
walton and was loaded with informa-
ton concerning the great land frauds
which were to be committed by the
commissioner of the general land office
in process of opening the reservation
to settlement.
He wrote an article which was pub
lished in the Transcript stating that
Commissioner Richards was acting in
the interest of the large cattlemen, and
that lands worth $40 to $40 per acre
were to be sold for S1.25 an acre, and
the Indians thus defrauded and the cat
tlemen correspondingly enriched. A
copy of the article was sen to one of
Commissioner Richards superior Off
GERS in the government service, who i'm
mediately referred it to the commits
sioner for such comment as he might
wish to make. The commissioner an
swered that there vas absolutely no
truth in any of the charges, n stated
further that he would not make any
detailed reply until after the opening
of the reservation, when his report
would be sufficient answe After the
opening of the reservation, Mr.. Rich
ards submitted his report, and from it
and the known facts concerning the
opening of the reservation, it was self
evident hat there was not a scintilla
of truth in Mr.. Lighton's defamatory
article. The commissioners superior
officer notified the editor of the Boston
Transcript, and informed him that in
the future no consideration would be
taken or shown any articles which
might be published by that paper writ
ten by Mr.. Lighton. The editor was al
SO informed that the charges contained
in Lighton's article were absolutely
without foundation, and the official who
wrote the letter stated that he was
sorry that he had ever taken any no
|tice of it. ]. A. BRECKONS.

FOR JAMES
GRADER WHO WAS ACCUSED OF
THEFT OF PISTOL FROM CA
soosE SENT TO PRISON.
Mclanon Given Four Months and Fine
of Fifty Dollars for Taking Five
Dollar Pistol From Caboose on
Laramie-RawIins Run-Said He
Saw Pistol Stolen From Cupboard.

James McLanon, a grader employed
on the railroad work at Lookout, was
given a fine of $50 and costs in Justice
Grants court this morning and sent
enced to four months in the county
Jail, for the theft of a revolver valued
at IS from Conductor William Mathe-
sons caboose between Lookout and
Wilcox last Saturday.
McLanon told the court the pistol
had been given to him. He told con-
ficting stories, finally admitting that
he had seen "the other fellow" steal
the gun from a small cupboard in the
caboose and that this man had given
it to him and he in turn had given 1t
to a saloonkeeper at Wilcox.
McLanon was a passenger on Con-
ductor Matheson's train and managed
to steal the pistol from under the very
eyes OF the members of the crew.
The justice inflicted a heavy punish
ment, being convinced that the &C
cused had either stolen the weapon OF
was present and accessory at the
time, making him guilty in either case.
Mr.. Downey. the county attorney
asked the justice to assess as severe
punishment as the case woul war
rant, as a good deal of trouble is
looked for from the men who belong
to these grading camps, there being
two in this county, or very close 10
the county line. Three or four years
ago it required two attorneys to o o
after the business caused by the grad
ers at work on the new lines al Tie
Siding. McLanon was taken to the
county Jail.
