AGAIN LOWERS THE RECORD
lusltania Clips Seventy-two Minutes
From Former Mark.


New York, Nov. 8.-The marvellous
record established less than a month
ago by the giant turbine Cunarder
Lusitania. when she cut several hours
from the passage time across the At
lentic, already has been broken. The
Lusitania still retains the title of
queen of the seas, as 1t was she her
self that established the new low mark
and incidentally she added several
new records to her credit. These In
clude the best single days run, 618
knots, made Nov. e. an average OF
more than 500 knots for every full
day and an average hourly speed of
2A.25 knots for the full 2,7S1 miles.
On her last voyage the Lusitania
covered the distance in days, 10
hours and 50 minutes The voyage
just ended over the same course was
completed in 4 days, IS hours and 40
minutes. thus clipping one hour and
twelve minutes from the previous low
mark. And this was done In the face
of conditions none too favorable. From
the start the weather was stormy and
on the last two days, when the big
steamer was on the home stretch,
where the greatest burst OF speed
might have been expected, she drove
straight into the teeth of a strong
wind, high seas and occasional sharp

preliminary work on the concrete
piers that will be necessary for
the three bridges that will span
the river in that locality.
The steel bridge which is to
span the river at this place is be-
ing made in Minneapolis, MINI,
and will be shipped from that
place between the 9Th and the
10th Of November. When it ar
rives it will be put in position by

Launching of the Brooks"

The following, taken from the
Bath Daily Times. gives an &C.
count of the launching of the
Brooks, a fivemasted ship named
for Wyoming's governor:
THE Shipping City was honor
ed today by the presence Cover
nor Bryant B. Brooks of Wyom-
ing, who made the trip across the
continent to attend the launching
of the tive-masted schooner named
in his honor from the Percy G.
Small yard. The day was perfect
for the event and the Bath people
turned out in large numbers,
while the number of invited guests
and visitors from abroad was
large. The craft made a hand
some picture, decorated with
flags and signals and one feature
of the trimmings was a flag with
"V-V" in red which attracted
much attention. 1t was a facsim-
lie of the brand of Governor
Brooks ranch in Wyoming and
was a little surprise for the Gov
ernor, arranged by his friends and
he greatly appreciated it. There
was considerable curiosity among
some of the captains present as to
what it meant. One captin re-
marked, 81 never saw it in my
code and suppose it is some Ma
sonic sign"
Governor Brooks, accompanied
by Mrs. Brooks and daughter,
Miss Abby, was among the early
arrivals in the yard and enjoyed
a cruise over the craft before the
launching. When the staging
was removed from the stage plat
form, a good sized launching par
ty was on board and the guests
were looked after by Captain and
Mrs. Angus Mcleod, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank A. Small and Mrs. S.
r Percy.
THE craft ran down the ways
at 1920 and the cheers from the
large crowd on the shore was loud.
Miss Abby Brooks of Casper,
Wyoming, daughter of Governor
Bro ~. performed the christen-
ing ceremony under the direction
# t'p,aIn Mcleod. She used a
laIt, bouquet of roses and pinks.
Governor and Mrs. Brooks were at
the bow near their daughter and
after the launching, said it was a
memorable experience.
while the craft was in the
stream Caterer Malo served a lun-
cheon of salids, rolls, sandwiches,
cake, fruit and coffee. The cabin
was adorned with several beautiful
bouquets. The tugs Adelia and
Perry attended the schooner and
soon had her alongside the wharf

Still Have the Appetite

Our young people who indulge
in the dizzy waltz will hear with
interest that the heads of New
York society have declared that
Sitting out" a waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than
dancing, says the Red Lodge Pic
ket. The Sitting out" embodies
the same position as dancing, the
only difference is that you sit in
stead of dance. The mans right
arm is around the girls waist,
while his left hand holds her
right. Her left hand Is placed ON
his shoulder, while her head rests
lovingly OIL his bosom, and all
they have to do is to sit and listen
to the music. Now, that is some
thing like it. We have always
regarded it quite a nuisance to
gallop a mile or two to get a hug
or two. A roomful of people sit
ting around on sofas hugging to
music is more to our notion.
This will give the old rheumatic
ky bretheren a good chance to
waltz. Most men waltz, not for
the dance, but for the position
and while a man may loose his ap-
petite for dancing, he has to get
powerful old before he loses his
appetite for hugging a pretty girl.

Fatal Shooting.

Rather startling news came
over the wires last Friday concern
my an attempted break for liberty
by Adam Eckert, a life prisoner,
sent up from Uinta county in the
year 1901, for the murder of a
stockman.
The following extracts fiom the
Rawlins Republican of Saturday,
the End inst, tell the tale.
AT about $50 yesterday morn
ing occurred a shooting scrape at
the penitentiary by which two
men we're killed-Edward Sam
u%elson, for many months employ
ed at the penitentiary as a guard,
and a prisoner by the name OF
Adam Eckert, who was serving a
life term in the penitentiary for
the murder of an officer in Uinta
county in 1901.
When the prisoners we're releas-
ed from the cells in the morning
hckert showed his cellmate a gun
stating that that was the last time
he would be in the cell and stepp-
my into the corridor he covered
Mir. Samuelson with the gun and
'oId him to give up the keys
which Mr.. Samuelson refused to
DO Eckert then opened fire upon

hFst missed him but the second

took effect. After shooting at the
guards he placed two sticks of dv..

dry, into which he fired another
shot for the purpose of blowing
Off the lock SO he could get inside,
where it was discovered he had
concealed somewhere near &c
sticks of dynamite, fuses and CAPS,
which if exploded was sufficient to
demolish the entire penitentiary.
The dynamite which he had
placed about the lock was FRO
zen" and failed to explode when
struck by the bullet, causing him
to fail in his dastardly plot. He
then turned the gun, which was
a large A Colts revolver. upon
himself, the ball entering his
right temple, passing entirely
through his head, coming out just
above his left eye. The whole
upper part of his face was blown
off causing instant death. He
had several feet of fuse fastened
on the under side of his vest and
several matches in his hat when
found.
At the time of the shooting it
quite dark in the cell house
and immediate entrance was dan
gerous until it became light.
Sheriff Horton was sent for and
not wishing to lose any time went
in to face the desperate but found
him lying on the floor in the con-
dition as above stated.
1t is supposed hat some con-
federate on the outside had in
manner struggled in the gun
and explosives to Eckert as it
would be an utter imposibility for
a visitor to give anything of that
kind TO the prisoners while going
through the pennitentiary.
The dead convict was buried
this afternoon without any cere-
mony in the convict corner.
The funeral over the remains of
Samuelson will be held to-.
morrow afternoon from the under
taking rooms conducted by Rev.
Thornberry and the remains will
be laid to rest in the cemetary.
