cutter, at present working at his
trade in Cheyenne, and the place Is
practically under the management of
Mrs. Brown, assisted by her son.
They have good house, one feature
of which is stone milk house with
cement floor. Trees have been set
out and very comfortable home is
the reward for the management and
work of the family. Mrs. Browns
speciality has been good horses and
the ranch shows some yearling and

is the improved homestead owned by
Mrs. Browns son, Alex. Simpson,

latter was widowed by the terrible
wreck near the Green River, Wyo.,

a mail clerk on the i'll fated train.

Roberts and Cooper ranch which has
been carrying on an interesting eX-
