CONTEST WILL OF
MYSTERIOUS MAN
RELATIVES FROM NEBRASKA TO
GATHER AT MEETEETSE AND
FIGHT FOR PROPERTY.
Henry Weimer, Who Lived Life of Re-
cluse, Sending and Receiving No
Mail Left Alleged Will on Sheet
of Tablet Paper in Dozen Words
Disposing of Rich Claims.

Meeteetse, Wyo., Oct. 2.--Relatives
from Nebraska and perhaps other
states are expected here October 10,
to contest the alleged will of the late
Henry Weimer, the mysterious miner"
who recently died at Kirwin. At the
time Of his death the whereabouts of
Weimer's relatives were unknown, he
having lived here since the early SOS
without receiving mail or acknowledge
ing a relative. Since the publication
OF his death and the fact that Weimer
Camp Kirwin, several letters have been
received from persons claiming rela-
tionship to the dead miner, and one
from Stanton, Neb., addressed to a To-
cal attorney here, intimates that rela-
tives of Weimer Will be here to attend
the hearing before Court Commission
er Thomas on October 10.
Many Valuable Claims.
Several days after Weimer's death,
C. L. Tewksbury, a mine manager at
Kirwin, gave notice that he would seek
to probate an alleged will conveying
the entire holdings of the dead man to
Tewksbury. The property consists of
what is said to be some of the most
valuable claims on Willow creek, il
the Kirwin district, and their value, in
view of the peculiarities of the alleged
will, is expected to precipitate a fierce
legal battle if the heirs are able to fully
establish their relationship to the
mysterious miner"
Will in a Few Words.
What is claimed to be Weimer's will.
is a sheet of tablet paper, upon which
is written:
81 desire Mr.. T%ewksbury to have my
property upon my death"
The paper is signed by Weimer ant
two witnesses and attested by a notar,
at lie, Wyo., a %postofice fifty mile!
from Kirwin. The paper is dated IL
1906.

Work OF the Commission.

"The work of the food and dairy de-
partment for the period covered by this
report (year ending October /, 1906
has embraced the examination Of
wholesale and retail grocery stocks,
meat markets n saloons, the analy-
SIS of 1853 samples of products coming
under the pure food law, and the pub
LEGATION and distribution of bulletins
covering the same. The work of the
state chemist, Prof. Henry G. Knight,
has been most painstaking, and the
above analyses by no leans represent
the moun of work performed by him
for the state. Too much credit cannot
be given him for the services rendered
and the inconvenience suffered in the
performance of his duties as state
chemist, as his contingent fund is en-
tirely too small to carry the work on
as it should be done"

Annual Report of Pure Food, Dairy and

Covered by Commissioner.

Hon. e. w. Burke, state pure food,
oil and dairy commissioner, who has
been here for a day or TWO in the in

for Cheyenne, having his annual report
ready for the governor. The report is

embracing as well the report of the

loving are the salient features of the
report:
Work of the Office.
From being a dumping ground for
the large class of adulterated goods
barred from other states having string
ent food laws in force, Wyoming has
gradually forged to the front in the
matter of food regulations until the
quality of goods now sold within its
borders ought to compare fayorably
with those sold in any state in the
union. Our food laws have been an ex-
pc 90 ldl 90 lhio youhb obabS 10
concerned, and the inspection may not
have been as close as the commission
er would like to have had it, but hav-
ing a small allowance and plenty of
ground to cover, it was necessary that
care be exercised. The amount of pro
fit on adulterated goods makes those
who are engaged in such nefarious Dus-
mess willing to expend any amount
OF time and money to evade the law
and to accept the risk of detection and
punishment This class of manufac-
lures are being rapidly driven out, and
the violations of the law are becoming
fewer in number. The increased num-
Der of articles formerly adulterated,
now known to be pure, has proven not
only beneficial to the public health,
but has removed much of the friction
heretofore existing between this de.
partment and the dealers in food pro
ducts.
