viii Bun on Breakdown.

some time ago and afterwards repaired
at the shops was taken to the mill this
morning, repaired the second time, and
will be placed in the housings today.
1t is hoped to start the mill on break
down tomorrow. The third billet of
steel was run through the mill yester-
day afternoon, but a weak place in the
roll couplings gave way and the mill
had to suspend operations. The cast
iron box will be replaced with a steel
box, which will take only a few days
to get ready. The rolls worked beau
tifully until the accident occurred, the
couplings between the engine and rolls
giving way about 5 o'clock. There is
great rejoicing at the mill at the sue
cess of the effort to produce continu.

Friends Cannot Get Trace of Him
Railroad Notes.

The friends of L. l.. Voyer, the sec.
ton foreman at Lookout, are some
what worried at his continued absence,
and his brother has been unable to 10,
cate him. Mr.. Voyer went to Denver
for the Elks' convention last month, ex-
pecting to return July 81 and resume
his position. He did not come back
at that time and has since been absent.
He had a sweetheart at Denver, it was
said, and it is possible they decided to
get married while he was there and
have gone on a bridal trip. The report
that he had been found dead at Denver
is believed to be absolutely without
foundation. Mr.. Voyer was well known
here, having been a frequent visitor
to the city the last few days.
The chief of police of Denver was
wired this afternoon. in an effort to To-
cate the missing man, but up to A

Ranch Foreman Takes Own Life In a
Fit of Remorse.

hundred dollars belonging to
his mother and for the past few days
has been carousing in Cheyenne and
dissipating the funds ~intrusted to his

ALBANY COUNTY TO HAVE NICE
DISPLAY AT GOOD ROADS CON-
VENTlON IN THAT STATE.
Laramie Literary Club Appoints Com
mittee to Have Charge and Mem
~tiveness of Garden Spot of All
creation-Buffum May Be Sent.

At the meeting last night of the Lar
annie Literary club a committee, con-
sisting of A. N. H%asenkamp, E. N. Rog-
ers and e. ]. Bell, was appointed to
collect material for the making of a
display of the agricultural, mineral
and other of Albany county
at the national good roads meeting to
be held at Chillicothe, Mo-, in Septem-
Der, and to solicit funds to defray the
expenses of collecting and forwarding
the display and of some man to ccom-
pany it to Chillicothe.
Committee Hard at Work.
The committee went right to work
this morning, n it is hoped that by
the oath, the date when the car is ex-
finest displays ever gathered will have
been collected and that Prof. B. C. Buff
fun will have been induced to accom-
pany the shipment and represent AL
bany county and the Literary club at
the convention. A more suitable man
could not have been selected.
Photographs of Gardens.
The committee wants samples of the
agriculture of the county, also plaster,
cement, minerals, garden stuff and
flowers, and particularly good photo
graphs of some of the magnificent gar
dens and flower beds of the city. 1t is
believed that no city in the west could
show a finer set of pictures if all who
have the nice yards and lawns would
have the pictures made.
Funds Being Raised.
About one-half the noun necessary
to defray the expenses of the shipment
is in sight and the committee believes
it will all be forthcoming without diff
ficulty. The members of the commit
tee ask that the display be made
promptly, some member of the commit
tee being notified of its collection.
Union Pacific Will Help.
The car will be forwarded by the
Union Pacific to its nearest terminal
without charge, and there is every rea
son to believe hat other roads han
ding it will be as liberal to the COM
mittee. Anyway, the cost of transpor-
tation will be slight. The movement
received a good deal of an uplift
among the business interests of the
city today.
Buffum Consents to Go.
A meeting of the committee was held
this afternoon, in the Rogers studio,
when Prof. B. c.. Buffum, director of
the experiment station, agreed to rep
resent Albany county, the Laramie Lit
erary club and the Laramie CONNER

mittee will now proceed to get its ex-
