Lincoln and Stanton.

There was n marked contrast be-
tween Lincoln's manner, which was al
ways pleasant and even genial, and
that Of Stanton. The latter's stern,
specialized visage commanded instant
respect and In many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before high desk
as the crowd passed before him and
one by one presented their requests or
complaints, which were rapidly dis
posed Of He was naughty, severe,
domnccring and often rude. When |

for the Gymnasium Tonight, With
Basketball, Boxing, Wrestling,
Running and Girls Basketball
Game-PIenty Of Fun.

Every preparation has been made
for the best athletic entertainment Of
the year at the university gymnasium
this evening. The program promises to
be long and intensely interesting. The
features are a basketball game be-
tween Fort Russell and the University
of Wyoming, an exhibition game be-
tween the young ladies' Of the univer-
sity. two boxing bouts. The cham
pionship of Fort Russell will be de-
cided; and a wrestling contest for the
championship. There is every proba-
bility that there will be an indoor re-
lay race between teams Of four. This
will be a program that should prove a
treat to the people of Laramie. The
wrestling and boxing will be held last
and will not take place until after 10
o'clock.
Ring for Boxing Bouts.
A sixteen-foot ring has been im-
provised for the boxing and those hold

Paths have been cleared over the
university grounds.
Team Lineup.
The university basketball team will
be of different composition than 1t
has been in the past. Due to recent
developments, changes have been made
that is hoped will improve the scoring
Of the local team. The lineup at the
beginning Of the game will doubtless
be-Forwards, D. Hunton and Roberts;
center, H, Price; guards, Jones and
Akeson, This seems to be the strong
est combination at present. This
team scored 4S points to the other
teams ~ in their practice last night
The encouraging thing about their
play was the fact that they did no
miss easy baskets nor hard ones either

Matters Of General Interest for
Readers of This Paper.

1t is reported here this afternoon
that the Los Angeles Limited trains,
Nos. Z and 8, reaching here respective
ly at $40 AMI 500 a. m, are to be
discontinued, the last of the trains
leaving Chicago tonight and passing
through Laramie Monday morning
The bad condition of the tracks Of the
Los Angeles route, due to washouts
and weather, is given as the probable
cause of the di~scontinuance of the
trains. The trains are seldom on time,
particularly the one from the west,
arriving oftener from one to ten hours
behind time than within an hour OF
it's schedule. 1t is also reported hat
a new time al may be looked for
early in the week, eliminating these
two trains from consideration. Both
trains are fr~st-class, and would be
quite popular were it possible to gel
them here IN time.

CORONER IN CASE OF TRUSTED
OFFICER CHANGES PLAN OF
INVESTIGATION FROM
MURDER.
Man Receiving Twelve Thousand DOL
lars a Year Said to Have Forged
Name Of Member Of Company to
Notes A~oaregatina Large Sum,
and Who Left Note Saying He
Was Insane When He Took Poison

New York, March 9.-That Leonidas
M. Preston. secretary and manager of
the Thinker Roller company, forged
the name Of E. R. Hewitt, a member Of
that company, to notes a~ggregating
$4,000 to 500. 900, vas the substance
of a statement made to the o to-
day by James A. Shea, counsel for Mrs.
Preston.
Died Of Dose of Poison.
Preston died suddenly Thursday,
after drinking prussic acid, while
three members of the company were
waiting to question him about its at
fairs. Preston left a note saying that
he had been insane for some time.
Murder Theory Dropped.
The corone decided that the man
committed suicide, and there was no
occasion to continue the investigation
upon the theory that murder had been
committed. Preston came from Dali
las, Tex, several years ago and was
the reputed owner of considerable
property near Dallas, and to be the
heir to an estate in the neighborhood
of So, 100000.
Big Fortune Not Found.
An investigation has not located any
of this property, and it is believed that
he suffered heavy losses. His brother
in Paris. Tex. has informed Preston's
associates that he does not know Of
the existence of the reported fortune
Of $4,000. 900.
Leaves Peculiar Note.
AS secretary and manager Of the
Thinker Roller company, Preston re-
ceived a salary of $4,000 a year.. In
the note he left, Preston said. II
have lost my mind, my power to grasp
things, my memory. l have lost ev-
erything except my firm faith in God
and His son, Jesus Christ. l leave it
all to Him"
Betting on the Ponies.
Preston's widow testified before the
that Preston was betting
heavily on the ace during his recent
visit to New Orleans.
