Receives Fine Stations.

C. M. Fiield, representing North &
Robinson of Grand Island, Nebraska, and
who for the last few weeks has been at
the Windsor stables this CITY disposing
of purebred Shire and Percheron stall
lions has received another shipment Of
these animals which are certainly in the
winners class. So great has been the
interest of hosemen in Mr.. 'Fifield's hors-
es and so great the demand for them
that he was compelled 20 bring in anoth
or lot.
Among the horses shown representa-
tive of this paper was an unusually beau
tiful black shire, named Trojan 2nd
registered number 7494 in the American
Shire Horse Breeders Association. This
horse is one that was kept by North &
Robinson for their own use this season,
so is in perfect breeding condition. They
are only parting with him in answer to
the great demand Next was led out a
bay Shire colt, who will not be two years
old until the 18th of this month. The
ner at Iowa State Fair for two seasons,
mare, who in good condition weighs
over 1000 pounds. and it was also sired
by horse weighing over a ton. This
colt is named Haitian and itsregister
number is 1904, it now weighs good
1900.
The next animal led out was the most
beautiful Percheron colt it was ever the
good fortune of the Republican reporter
to see This superb animal, Payson by
nume and No 81, 074 in the American
Breeders and Importers Percheron As
ISOLATION. actually weighed 1,7O0 when
he left Singmaster & Sons stables in
Keola, Iowa few days ago, and yet he
was only two years old the 10 Of May
last. He is about as perfect a horse as
one wants to see and is by all odds the
pest one brought here so far by Mr. FL
field 1t is worth a trip to Laramie to
look at him. Laramie Republican.

They Got the Bear.

Last Wednesday Chas Winscom who
has been attempting to trap bear for
several;weeks that has made his head
quarters near the ranch, succeeded in
catching him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Winscom started out to
look at the trap and found it was gone
They trailed bruin into bunch of Jack
pines, where they found the animal busy
trying to dispose of the trap by chewing
off his leg He had almost accomplished
his purpose when bullet from Mr..
Winscom's rifle ended his difficulties.
The bear was medium sized brown
one, and is evidently the same animal
that has several times managed to set
off the trap without being captured.
DR.. Henry Fischer, who is at the Wins
com ranch assisting Mr.. Winscom trap,
was not at the killing but hopes to sc.
cure one or two more, as the one cap
tured is but one of several that are said
to be in that vicinity.

a water commissioner for District 4o?'
Mr.. Chedsey replied that he had not
but in explanation stated that he himself
had preached the subject to VIM. Mari
(the boss in question: with regard to the
appointment Of the water commissioner
for district number 46, advocating the
appointment of James Taylor, ST., for
that place, and that Mr.. Mari expressed
no preference.
Mr. Chedsey further said, in explain
alton, that during the meeting OF the
board of County Commissioners, at
which the petition for the appointment
of Mr. Taylor as water commissioner came
up for consideration, K. j. MacCallum,
member of the board from North Park,
called him up on the telephone, and
among other things, which Mr.. Chedsey
did not care to mention, said that as Mr..
Taylor was lacking in several qualifica-
tions necessary to fill the position of
water commissioner, the rest Of the
board would not consent to his appoint
ment.
Mr.. Mari stated that this was all he
wished to know. An effort had been
made to partially lay the blame OF
the appointment of Doc Vaughn as wa
ter commissioner for Dist. No 46 over
the petition of Jas. Taylor. to Mr.. Ched
sey, but this explanation exonerated
him and as Mr.. Mari stated placed the
blame where it belongs on Mr.. MAGICAL
lum who he declared was merely cats
paw for VIM. Mari.
In explanation of the above, it seems
that couple of months ago a petition
was circulated in Water District 46. and
signed by good majority Of the people
in that section, asking the appointment
of James Taylor. ST., water commission
CT The petition was turned over to the
county commissioners. who turned it
down for some reason and Doc Vaughn
was appointed.
The stockmen present were of the opin-
ion that Mr.. MacCallum was either a
non entity on the board or was acting az
the tool of some one, as it is quite Ger
tain that the appointment of any men
for county positions in the Park, lies en-
tirly with Mr. MacCallum. After ex-
pressing their opinions quite freely, the
meeting adjourned.

The outlook for fruit is not so gloomy

fruits will be fairly plentiful. and there
will be some cherries, but no plums nor

of these fruits will not be up to former

Isn't Itthe Truth?

There is prantically no such thing AS
gratitude On: the part of the public for
any moral service rendered by a newspa-
per. The same is true of favor done
an individual by newspaper. To the
average citizen the newspaper is as i'm
personal az railroad corporation and
the attitude of the public is often to use
it but beat it if you can. Every editor
has had good citizens urge him to attack
this or that evil and probably within
week after the battle was fought and
won the same man for some purely per
sonal or business reason would stop his
