There is a pronounced but inevitable trend in
modern education away from the study OF the

We do not need TO be alarmed at the exclusion OF
religious teaching from the schools il We can be
assured of the supremacy OF conscience and the
hxty Of the moral law. II the validity of the
naturatstic creed OF ethics withstands all ques-
tiOnng. and II the people. becoming saturated with
its essential teachings. lose their mold on religion
even though we do not despair OF peaceful gov

After jackson Hole Rustlers.

Thermopolis, Wyo.-Three Wyoming
sheriffs, Felix Aston of Big Horn
county. Charles Slough of Fremont
county, and Frank Smith of Johnson
county, have disappeared into the
rough country between this place and
the Jackson Hole, while on the trail
of a gang of horse thieves, and no
news is expected from them until
they either run down their quarry or
leave the trail at the Idaho line.
Horse stealing has been frequently
reported by ranchmen of Johnson, Big
Horn and Fremont counties, and the
depredations generally have been
traced to one gang, of which 1t is al
legged Walter Yos is the leader.
All efforts to arrest members of
this gang have failed because of the
thieves thorough knowledge of the
country and their trick of jumping
from one county to another, and occa-
sionally into Idaho or Montana.
Several days ago the officers picked
up the trail of the thieves east of this
place. followed it to Thermopolis and
try beyond which lies Jackson Hole.
The country in which Alston.
Slough and Smith are now seeking the
Yos gang is that made famous by the
story of the Virginian's pursuit of
Trampas, Shorty, ct al. The Virgin
ian and his tenderfoot friend rode
through the same section that the
sheriffs are now traversing, and came
out at the same objective point-the
Jackson Hole. Whether or not the
three genuine thief hunters will have
the luck of the fictional ones and run
down their quarry in the beautiful
Jackson Hole is a matter of conjec-
ture.

Denver Thugs Commit Dastardiy
Crime and Escapes.

Denver-Shot through the head by
two boy highwaymen at 10 O'Clock
Sunday night because he refused to
give up his wallet. John Cohan, aged
forty-three, 1878 Irving street, may die.
The young holdup men escaped. They
were last seen running past Bloomfield
park.
Picked up nearly lifless, Cohan
was taken to the county hospital.
where an examination showed his
chances for recovery doubtful. One
bullet entered the center of the jaw,
took a course toward his right ear
and lodged in his neck. Another
pierced his right leg just above the
knee.
Cohan, married three weeks ago,
was on his way home with groceries
he had purchased of Philip Adelman,
1884 West Colfax. Directly opposite
27S7 West Fourteenth street, two men,
about twenty-five years of age, stepped
from behind dark fence and ordered
Cohan to produce his money.
He hesitated and two guns were
flashed in his face. Frightened, he
cried for help and simultaneously two
shots were heard. There came an
other wild scream. When residents
flocked out to see what had happened
they found him in pool of blood. He
gurgled robbers" and said he had
been robbed. Then blood gushed from
his mouth and he was unable to make
himself understood.
