Allen Qufts the Contest.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Aug. 30
Ben S. Allen OF. former editor of the
Daily Palo Alto, who was expelled from
college for attacking the faculty In his
editorial columns and who announced
yesterday that he would attempt to
again edit the sheet, Withdrew from
the contest today. This leaves George
o. Spurrier the lone nominee
1t is thought that the faculty took a
hand in the contest and warned Allen
to withdraw. Aliens name will be
stricken from the ballot and Spurrier
left as the unanimous choice of the stu
dents. Allen will probably withdraw
from the university and enter the pro-
fessional journalistic field.

spending the summer with relatives,
the Pascoes, at the Pascoe ranch, re-
turned home Friday evening from a
stay of nearly a week at the summer
cottages in the Black hills, neartheast
of Laramie, where. they had a delight
full time. The party was accompanied
by a mar as camp mover and general
camp assistant. Among the events of
interest were numerous hunting and
fishing parties and displays of marks
manship with rifles and pistols, Miss
Entwisle being a particularly good shot,
with the other girls and the hostess not
far behind. Rabbits Jared i'll that
and trout in the stream made many a
dainty meal for the merry campers.
Not the least noteworthy event was
the finding of mushroom beds, the par
ty at one time getting fully 100 pounds
of this delicious vegetable, which
grows nowhere finer than in the Black
hills. Strawberries and gooseberries
helped the menus and Mrs. Pascoe
owns up to several jars of gooseberries

Rock Springs, Wyo., July 23.-The
question of taxation of bands of sheen

during the summer in another, which
has been a source of some difference
of opinion here for years, is to be set
tied at a joint meeting here of the
county commissioners of Sweetwater

to arrive at a just division of the taxes.
SEINE Conditions In Many Counties.
The bands usually spend about the
same time each year in each county,
spending the summer in the forest re
of Fremont county. The same
conditions exist in nearly all the other
counties in the state and the result of
the joint meeting here will be used as
a basis of settlement in other counties.

Disease or Cold Weather Affecting APP
plies Around Buffalo.

Buffalo, Wyo., July 23.-The atten-
ton of the state board of horticulture
has been called to a condition which
confronts the owners of apple trees,
especially crab apples, in this vicinity.
The fruit shrieveled in the spring when
about the size of a pea and the tips of
the branches also shrivel and die.
Some believe it is a fungous disease
and others incline to the belief that is
is the result of the severe winter wealth
er for a few days last October, before
the growth of last year had hardened
off.
