LUCKY NEWSPAPER MEN.

Among the many other good things
that have fallen to the lot of Messrs.
Perry and Mills, formerly proprietors
of the Sheridan Post, is a full-fedged
$4,000 libel suit, A newspaper mans
career is not properly rounded out till
he engages in a bout of this nature and
it was certainly timely for one to
strike the gentlemen in question. They
have been having all kinds of other
good fortune during recent years. The
libel suit has been brought against
them by Judge Metz, who ran against
Judge Parmelee for the position of
Judge of the Fourth Judicial district,
During the campaign the Post publish
ed an account of the Impeachment pro
~ceedings brought against the judge il
the Wyoming legislature several years
ago, and this he conceives to be libel
The Post, in answer, AYERS that it hat
no wrong intent, that its motives were
honorable and asks that it now be per
mitted to plead the publication of the
truth as a defense. In part the answer
says:
"And defendants deny that there was
any malice or i'll will against the plain
tiff whatever, in the said publications
or in any of them and deny that the
same or any of them were composed,
uttered, published or circulated by the
defendants, or either of them, with any
malice OF i'll will whatever against the
plaintiff. or TO do him any injustice or
wrong whatsoever, but that the said
matters We're published, as aforesaid,
in good faith and for the sole and only
purpose of giving to the voters in the
fourth judicial district full and just re-
port of the said legislative proceed.
ings and furnishing pertinent, reason
able and proper comments in relation
thereto so that the said voters might
judge thereof and use the same as they
might feel proper and right in passing
at the polls upon the qualifications of
the plaintiff for the said office of judge
of the fourth judicial district"
Under the Wyoming law the truth
is a sufficient defense, and if it is found
that the proceedings published actual
ly took place, then in all human pro
liability the court will find for the de
PENDANTS in this case.

O SAMPLE TRUNK.
Thieves Make Rich Haul In Manitou
Baggage Room.

Manitou, Colo, Jan. 3O.-Thieves
who broke into the Colorado Midland
baggage room Saturday night ransack-
ed and carried away the most yaluable
of two jewelry sample trunks
belonging to the Ryder Jewelry COM
pany of st. Louis. The trunks had been
checked to James Nettle, a travelling
salesman in the employ of the COM
pany, who is now at Manitou. The val
ne of the stolen goods is being careful
ly guarded by the police, but 1t is said
to be as high as 10000.
The only possible clew to the identi'
.ty of the robbers is a handkerchief in
which a number Of watch chains had
been wrapped and which apparently
was dropped as the robbers made their
escape with their plumber.

clan whom everybody liked; a hard

This physician was the guest Of
honor one Thanksgiving at the house
OF a leading citizen and when the gay
assemblage entered the dining room
the leading citizen said to him:
"'Now. doctor, on account of your
surgical skill, I'll ask you to carve.
That bird is a twenty-four FOUNDER
and he is as young and tepder as a
spring pullet. None but you could
do him iustice.'
1.-THE physician, his mind on other
things, smiled absently, took the head
or the table, raised the knife and
made a deep incision in the breast OF
the turkey.
"Then he frowned, rummaged In
his pocket and brought out ONE ABB
sorbent Gotten, a roll of bandages and
a paper of pins. With these he pro
ceeded to dress and bind up the
wound he had made.

Then he looked up and smiled.

TAR AND FEATHERS LONG AGO.
Ordered by Richard Occur de Lion as
Punishment for Theft.

We learn from the annals of the his
torian Hoveden, who was court chap
lain to Henry III, that the old custom
of tarring and feathering is one that
dates back to the time of Richard the
Lion Hearted.
He tells us that this renowned king,
on setting out for the third crusade,
made this enactment among others,
for his fleet:
A robber who shall be convicted Of
theft shall have his head cropped af-
ter the fashion of a champion, and
boiling pitch shall be poured there
on, and the feathers of a cushion shall
be shaken out on him, so that he may
be known, and at the first land at
which the ship shall touch he shall
be set on shore.
This, then, is one of several Gus
toms which has been classed COM
monty as American" while in truth,
it originated with us, and was i'm
ported by them from Europe.-Tit

A DIVINE CONVICTED.

The Rev, Ware convicted at Omaha
of conspiracy to defraud the United
states out of 10000 acres of land, is
a well-known Episcopal divine of Dead
wood, South Dakota, In the commun-
ity where he lives he is popular among
all classes.
The evidence in the case showed that
systematic filings by inmates of the
Grand Island soldiers home and by old
soldiers from Iowa and other points
were made in behalf of Ware through
the instrumentality of Frank w. Lam
bert and Harry WEIGH, co-defendants in
the case. Ware admitted paying a com
mission to Lambert of $50 for each fill
ing secured. He explained on the stand
that he wanted friendly homesteaders
on the range who would permit him to
use their hay and pasture land.
Lambert and WEIGH pleaded guilty to
the charge of conspiracy, and Lambert
was the chief witness for the govern
ment.
In his summing up Judge Munger
said: III one party TO the conspiracy
is guilty ali are equally guilty. on
party must effectuate the completes
act before the full conspiracy is estah
Iished."
Celebrating on the homestead laws
IJudge Munger insisted that the valid
ity of a claim rested upon the princi
pie of good faith. The penalty is two
years Imprisonment in the poniten

An odd incident occurred south OF
Seneca, in Faulk county, when, on a
dark, stormy night. while a family Of
ho~mesteaders were lamenting their
i'll fortune of having no meat in the
house they were startled to hear
heavy thuds against the outside of the
building, when investigation with a
lantern disclosed the fact that wild
ducks had flown against IL n had

through its Chey enne correspondent
that DR.. J. NJ. Wilson, president of the

association, the place now so ably filled
by Senator Francis e. Warren, but that
President Wilson peremptorily declin-

no better man could possibly be found
than the present incumbent. In the

to allow his name to be used as a can

that he also refuses to consider this

Wilson is an able man and a good of

The announcement from Philadelphia
to the effect that Senator Warren is to
wed Mrs. Nagle is not credited by his
friends at the state capital. They are
emphatic in their assertions, however,
that Mrs. Nagle is endowed with all
those womanly attributes necessary in
filing the position of wife to a United
States senator or other high public
official. She is as graceful as a lily
and shines brilliantly in the society o.

The Wyoming fair commission has
made its final report to the governor
and has turned back to the treasury
$500. This is the second time a Wyo-
ming fair commission has performed
in this way, the first commission being
largely composed of the same gentle
men. Fair commissions usually turn in
a deficit. In addition to the money re-
turned, the commission also brought
back to wyoming a large number of
trophies in the form of gold medals.
