Last Saturday Night. Mrs. Bux-

tom ln1ured
A wreck occurred at Bath, near
Aberdeen last Saturday evening
at abovt $50 when several peo-
pie were injured and shaken up.
An extra freight in charge of
Conductor Tice and Engineer
Dunlap, ran into the rear end
of Nov. 81 in charge of'conductor
Buxton of this city,-who was
the first to see the danger of q
wreck as the extra approached.
The engine of 81 was doing some
switching at Bath and two or
three cars and the caboose were
standing near the station. It
was showing quite hard and
when Mr.. Buxton saw the head
light of the approaching engine
he ran toward them waving his
lantern. Engineer Dunlap re-
versed the throttle and put lon
the emergency break but the
train was going about twenty
miles an hour and was heavily
loaded. The breakman and fire.
man jumped from the cab but the
engineer stuck to his engine in
in hopes of preventing a bad
wreck. However the distance
was too short and the engine
struck the caboose with con-
siderable force. Mrs. Buxton
was in the caboose of the regular
train going to Aberdeen to spend
Sunday with her husband and
was quite badly injured. She
was taken to the hospital at
Aberdeen. OF the twenty-five
people in the car quitea number
were more or less bruised by
the collision. Had the regular
train been heavily loaded the
consequences would have been
much worse
Engineer Dunlap is known by
the older residents of this city
and in the twenty years of ser.
vice with the Milwaukee, this is
his first wreck.
Bert Sutcliffe of Milbank was
one of Conductor Buxton's crew
and saw the accident.

Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by CutiCura.

"My baby was about nine months old
when she had rash on her face and feet.
Her feet seemed to irritate her most, es-
peciauy nights. They would cause her to
be broken of her rest, and sometimes she
would cry until she was tired out l had
always used Cut:cura Soap myself, and had
heard of SO many cures by the Cuticura
Remedies that l thought 1 would give
them a trial. The improvement was no.
ticeable in few hours. and before l had
used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her
feet were we'll and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what is
known as cradle cap from her head. and
it worked like charm, as it cleansed and
healed the scalp at the same time. Now
I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case
of any little rash or insect bites, as it
takes out the inflammation at once. Per-
haps this may be the means Of helping
other suffering babies. Mrs. Hattie Cur

TALK OF THE TOWN
TRUST COMPANY OF AMERICA
CASE STILL DEMANDING At
TENTiON IN NEW YORK.
Figures Have Grown From Fifty Thou
sand Dollars to Nearly Million,
and End Still Not in Sight-Two
Men Under Arrest Believed to
Have Sailed Snug Sum.

New York, April 29.-The big bond
robbery, in which the Trust Company
of America was the victim, continues
the absorbing subject in financial dis.
tricts. The robbery was first put down
as a $4,000 affair, but has steadily
grown until today it appears that Sc.
curities aggregating a value of $780,
600 were taken by William G.. Douglas,
the bond clerk, now under arrest.
To Redeem Securities.
A member of the executive commit
tee of the trust company said that he
took $165 900 to redeem securities by
p~othecated with brokers by o. M. Den
nett, who is also under arrest in con
nection with the robbery.
Securities Found in Bed.
1t is also said that it was 5000, 900
and not $4,000 worth of securities
found hidden in Dennett's bed. What
became of the money is not known. 1t
is believed that some was lost in spec
ulation, but it is thought that the pair
under arrest have a snug sum hidden
away somewhere.

SENATOR WARREN ON
THE LEASING MATTER

| right in New York city is tremendous
waning. The masses of the great pub,
lie are with President Roosevelt as
they have never been with any other
president in the history of the coun
try, and that, after all, is the true test
of any mans position and strength in
the state or nation.
Will Not Run Again.
twill President Roosevelt accept a
third term?"
"Unquestionably not" replied Sen
ator Warren. President Roosevelt
has stated time and again that he will
never again run for the presidency,
and he is perfectly sincere and in ear
nest n has not changed his mind,
Notwithstanding the hearty demand
that he shall again become a candi-
date. He is deeply appreciative of the
widespread expression of confidence,
but feels that he should retire at the
end of his present term"
Whom do you think will likely be
the republican candidate in 1882" the
senator was asked.
Secretary Taft, Secretary Root and
Vice President Fairbanks are all very
much in the public eye. The interests
of each will no doubt be pushed very
hard. All are great, safe, progressive
men, and the country could not suffer
from the election of either of them
Proposed Leasing Law.
Asked about the proposed law rela-
tive to leasing of grazing lands, Sena-
tor Warren said:
"Oh, I think the public does not care
to hear from me on that subject. l ex-
pect newspaper readers are already
tired of it. l myself have no interest in
the matter except as it affects the
growth and future of the country. If l
should take a selfish view from the one
standpoint of my ownership in live
stock, l should perhaps admit that l
would be better OF without law, be-
cause in that case my sheep could run
wherever 1 might see fit to take them
on the public domain, without cost for
pasturage. But 1 take a broader view
and consider all lines of business and
all interests, instead Of only one.
Question With Two sides.
"The subject is easily one with at
least two sides. There are many peo-
pie in Wyoming and throughout the
west who firmly indorse and believe in
each of the two propositions, leasing or
not leasing. That being the case, l as
sumo hat every citizen may choose for
himself the side of the question which
appeals to him as being the correct one.
This being true, l have no hest
fancy in saying for myself that
If a proper kind Of lease
law can be enacted, it is by oil odds far
the best policy for the State of Wyo-
ming, and hence for the west. If we
cannot get a good lease-law, then let
us rest content with the ills We have
rather than fly to others that we know
