g. w. Baldridge, general man.
ager of the Saratoga q Encamp-
ment road, arrived in the city yes
terday and has begun, an active
campaign looking to the laying of
track on the road from Walcott to
Saratoga. Nj. Baldrige says the
company's contract with the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron Company, from
whom the rails were purchased
called for the commencement of
rolling the steel Tuesday, and he
believed, from corroborative cir
c~umstances, that the company vas
now turning out steele according
to contract.
The grading of the road is COM
pleted to the electric light plant
and preparations have been made
to grade side tracks and switch
yards at once. The grading camp
which is now located about a mile
north of town, will be moved up
near the grand stand on the race
tracks, within the city limits.
This will bring tie men and teams
close to the grading work in the
yards.
Chief engineer, Frank j. Cram
er, has been ordered to run a pre-
liminary line from this place up
Spring creek, and the surveying
corps has been out on the propos-
ed line for several days. The line
will not run up the river, as at
first contemplated, but will follow
the Union Pacific survey up
Spring creek, which is conceded
to be a much better grade and the
construction of which will cost
mich less. The Spring creek line
will bring the survey within three
miles of the Charter Oak mine,
which, in the course, of time, will
furnish a large amount of traffic
for this road.
From the manner general mana
ger Baldrige is taking hold of
things there will be something do
ing in this balliwick pretty short

Malicious Mischief.

The patrons of the Rural Tele-
phone company found last Mon
day morning that the line WAS out
of commission. When it was at
tempted to work the line at Baker,
Brenner & McAnally's store there
was no response. AS the line was
badly needed a man was sent out
to investigate. About a mile and
a half from town along the Craw-
ford ranch, the line was found cut.
1t had been pounded in two with
stones. The marks of a number
nine shoe, coming from the direc-
ton of North Spring creek, was
traced to the spot and back again,
in the direction of that country
1t was a deliberate piece of malice,
What could actuate any one to dc
such a thing is beyond the ken Of
any man-unless it was in revenge
for the deliberate csossing of the
Bell wires with the Kuykendall
ranch which occurred a few days
ago. If the Rural, or Bell tele.
phone find out who is doing this
mischief there will be some fne'
to pay.

BAIL FOR KEEFE
Slayer Of Thomas King Released
From Custody at Rawlins
on Bail.

Rawlins, Wyo., April Is
Frank j. Keefe, who is under in
dictment here for the murder of
Tom King four years ago this
month, has been admitted to bail
in the sum of 5000. He succeed
ed in giving bail to the entire
satisfaction of the Carbon county
officials and was Immediately dis
charged from custody of the sher-
if.
Keefe has been in the Carbon
and Albany county Jails and the
state prison at Rawlins since the
day following the killing of King
and Baxter. He was arrested at
Rawlins and the case. went away
on change of venue, going from
Laramie to the penitentiary for
the killing of Baxter. At the ex-
piration of his term, which was
considerably shortened by the ac-
ton of the new good behavior"
law passed by the last Legislature,
he was arrested at the prison door
and again lodged in the county
Jail at Rawlins, from whence he
has just been released on bail.
1t is the general opinion here
that when Keefe is tried, which
will probably not be before Sep
TENDER or October, the case
against him for the killing of
King will be taken to Laramie on
change of venue, although there
are some here who insist that he
will never be brought to trial at
all.

Saratoga, Wyo., April 18th 1907.
To the Residents and Property
Holders. of Saratoga and immedi-
ate vicinity:
Owing to the unprecedented
tide of immigration, consisting of
home and investment seekers, now
turned towards the great living
west, the time seems opportune
for the making Of a special effort
to advertise Saratoga and the val
ley and the mining districts of the
Upper Platte.
The Promotion committee of the
Saratoga Board of Trade has de-
,cided that the best way to do this
is, to secure, through voluntary
subscription, funds that will en-
able the committee to publish and
distribute literature setting forth
the unequaled advantages this
territory offers in the way OF
homes for the homeseeker and in
vestments of a character insuring
salty, permanence and profit.
The benefits to acrue will be
felt by every resident and proper
ty holder in the community and
it 10 but just and fair that each
one should assist according to, his
means, no matter how small his
subscription may be. The collect
{ ion of money will be in the hands
{. of the Promotion committee ant
the distribution of literature viii
. be in the hands of the Advertis
ing committee, both committee
working under the direction of thu
1 officers and the executive commit
tee of the Board of Trade. Sub
scription cards may be had at TIT
/ Saratoga State bank or at the OF
4 fee of Judge Blood and subscrip
b tions may be paid at either place.

FATAL
STAGE horses run away and kill
the driver, W. L. Priquet--
The X. P.'s conducted
the funeral.

William L.. Priquet, the stage
driver on the Saratoga ncamp-
ment stage line was instantly kill
ed at Cow creek station about 4
O'Clock Tuesday by being run
over by the stage. The stage had
stopped for the purpose of water
ing the horses. There were three
passengers, Mr.. and Mrs. Chides-
ter, of Encampment and another
man. Both men had gotten out,
Mrs. Chichester remaining in the
coach. A sharp clap of thunder
startled the team and the horses
started on a keen jump. Priquet
caught the wheelers by the brides
and grabbed for the lines of the
leaders, but stumbled into a de-
preston in the ground. The
leaders trampled on him and both
wheels of the coach passed over
him, crushing his skull, breaking
his collar bone and his right leg
below the knee. Death was in
Simultaneous.
Mrs. Chichester jumped out of
the coach and YVES but slightly
hurt. The horses ran in the d.
rection of Encsmpment for about
a mile, when they ran into a fence
and stopped and were recovered,
no harm being done beyond some
slight breaks in the harness. MI.
Chichester procured a team and
took his wife on into Encamp-
ment.
Word of the accident was sent
to this place and to Encampment.
Judge Ferree, of Encampment,
came down and held an inquest,
on the remains, the jury render
ing a verdict of accidental death.
The body was brought here Tues
day night and placed in the hands
of the undertaken. The funeral
was held today at 2:3O at the
Presbyterian church. Rev.
Wright of Encampment officiating,
under the auspices OF the Knights
of Pythias, of which order he was
a member.
Diseased would have been 20
years of age the 7th of next July
and was the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Priquet of this place.
He was a young man of excellent
character and habits and was es-
teemed by all who knew him. His
death fell with crushing force on
his family and was a severe shock
to the entire community.
The holding of the inquest was
entirely unnecessary, as the man.
ner and cause of the young mans
death was never in question for a
moment.

Boys of the City Addicted to

Colored MAN Named Washington
Looking for Brother Whom He
Has Not Seen In Years

A large number of complaints have
reached the police headquarters re-
Gently in regard to school boys and
also older boys, jumping trains on
the Erie and Big Four railroads.
The police are determined that the
practice shall be eliminated.
1t has become quite a custom for
the school boys to run from school
at moons, and In the afternoon, to
the railroads and wait sor freight
trains. The train jumping is also
carried on to considerable extent
Oh Saturdays. There lis also a cer-
tain element that takes pleasure in
jumping trains between this city and
the surrounding towns. This has
become very noticeable since the
weather has become warmer.
Extra efforts are being made to
catch some of the offenders and Sc
we're punishment will be meted out
to the first ones caught In order that
the dangeroust pastime will be
stamped out.

In connection with the presence
of Moulton Houk, general passen-
ger agent Of the Ohio Central,
before the Ohio railway commission
an interesting complication in
local railroad circles is reported
tending to show that everything is
not always peaceful, even in the
same railroad family. The facts
in the case are these:
A couple OF weeks since, a
theatrical party moving from here
to Toledo and supposed to have
been contracted by the Hooking
Valley for some reason used the
Ohio Central lines.
The next morning an official
inspector was at the Ohio Central
baggage room here and checked up
the baggage report.
Subsequently a charge was pre-
ferred against the Ohio Central
for alleged carrying of excess bag
gage without making due charge.
1t was i'll connection with this
charge that Mr.. Houck was in the
city.
Attaches of the Ohio Central
office blame the Hooking Valley
office for having caused the check
ing up of accounts, and the pre-
ferring of charges. They also
deny that they have been guilty Of
any infraction of the railroad law.
The Hooking Valley enters a
technical denial to all the implied
charges.
| In spite of general disinclina-
tion of all persons concerned to
make any statement about this
family quarrel, it was the general
property Of local railroad circles
and created many an amused smile

TIM LINES UP ALDERMEN
THE DEADLOCK is BROKEN
New YORK Municipal Law Makers
Elect Successor to Recorder Goff
After Threat That Gov. Hughes viii
Take a Hand.
IPupIishers' Press1

New York, Jan. 22.-judge Francis
F. McAvoy was elected recorder this
afternoon to succeed John w. Golf,
by a combination of the democrats
and municipal ownership aldermen.
The vote was AZ for McAvoy to 30
for James Cowden Meyers, the re-
publican candidate.
1t was long hard fight, with many
speeches and explanations, but little
Tim" Sullivan brought the Municipal
Ownership league aldermen into line
with the threat that the board of al
derman would be abolished by the
legislature, and Governor Hughes
would appoint recorder if the dead
lock was not broken today.
The republicans had caucussed for
their candidate James Cowden Meyers
and were prepared to throw the ap-
pointment to the governor by adjourn,
ment and failure to elect, but their
scheme fell through by the breaking
of the deadlock.
With the election of udge McAvoy
the democrats secured the control of
the board, and hereafter the republi-
cans will be in the minority.
Aside from Little Tim" Sullivan's
successful appeal to his colleagues,
the feature of the session was
speech made by Henry Clay Peters,
the leader of the municipal ownership
league aldermen. Mr.. Peters is never
brief and is always scathing. He de-
nounced everybody who had anything
to do with the passing of $4,000 in
marked bills to Aldermen Clifford.
and gave it out cold that he would
put the district attorney out of bust
ness.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 22.-The legis-
lature of Texas today reelected J. w.
Bailey United States senator. Over
fifty votes were cast against him and
the prediction is freely made that the
legislative election today has split the
democracy wide open in Texas.
Bailey received SO votes in the
house, SO being cast for other candi-
dates, while seven were present but
not voting.
In the senate he received 10 votes,
three scattering and seven present but
not voting.
While charges are pending against
Bailey of a serious nature and COM
mittee has been appointed to investi-
gate them, it tbs believed tonight that
the committees appointment will be
revoked.
This is the first time in the history
of the state that a candidate for sena-
tor of the majority of the party has
had such a manifest opposition.
Senator Bailey himself says that he
wants to be investigated by his COM
mittee and if they find anything
against him he will resign. The point
is that he will not permit the commit
tee to find anything.
