A remarkable prank played by light

His tomatoes are planted in rows OF
about 300 plants, tied to wires running

killing every vine and plant and de-
troying about 100 bushels of tomatoes

pointed in not seeing the troops march

ferred very much with the pleasure OF

Nav Start Up Next Week,

1t now seems probable that the roll
ing mills rolling department will re-
sumo operations early next week, the
place of the heaters who left the SER
vice of the company being filled.
Messrs. Cush and Ryan, who went to
Denver after men, returned last night
and declare they secured all the men
needed. District Foreman Sullivan
hopes to have the broken rougher roll
for the nineteen-inch mill repaired by
tomorrow night, and it will be in place
by the time the mills are ready to start.
Today the bed of the engine driving
the big mill was raised and placed on
a level with the roll connections. When
the housings of the mill were settling
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
dropped the engine to line with the
rolls Mr.. Sullivan raised the rolls ant
now the engine has been brought into
line.

Matter Being Heard Before Judge

Rawlins, Wyo., May 1S.-A minority
of the stockholders of the Penn-Wyo-
ming Copper company, h successor
of the North American Copper com
pany at E~ncampment, are today in the
district court here, before Judge Craig,
seeking for the appointment Of a re-
ceiver for the property of the com
pany, claiming that the Penn-Wyoming
company secured the property of the
North American company by fraud.
All the interests of the companies at
Encampment are involved except the
town site company and the electric
light company at Encampment. The
properties the stockholders are fight
ing for are the Ferris-H aggarty mine,
the aerial tramway, the smelter, the
pipe line and the other mining claims
and franchises of the old North Amer
lean company. 1t is yet too early to
hazard a guess as to the outcome of
the contention, as both sides are
%sanguine. The North American com
pany is represented by its Chicago at.

is also interested in the case.
