The Dipping Order.

There was some discussion of the
dipping order of the state veterinarian
and a debate followed between DIR.
Pfaeging and several of the Laramie
county stockmen who were fearful that
immediate compliance with the order
would near severe loss. 1t vas ex-
planned that the dipping must be done
in such a way that en- entire commun-
ity could be cleaned up at n time
and it was thought that this could be
so arranged as to be a hardship to no
n G. The veterinarians evident purpose
to eradicate the disease with as little
discomfort to the ranchmen as possible
had a very reassuring effect and will
doubtless result in the hearty co-opera-
ton of the s~tockgrowers whose cattle
are affected.

ance was introduced in the council last
night which went to its second read
ing and which makes provision that
the residence district acquired by the
Standard Steel Car people remain

tion In the council but it is known that

ing just for the purpose OF opening a
saloon and thus would have a mon
opoly on the liquor, traffic.

Purchasers of Holman ST.
Property Dig $4,000 Out
Of Their Clothes.
WILL START FRUIT STORE
Piasa Bros. Will Build and Engage
in Wholesale and Retail
Business.

There was an unexpected emptying
of pockets Of "nlthy lucre" at the Of
fee of Gostlin, Meyn & Company yes
terday when the Piasa brothers, fruit
dealers of Kensington, bought the
south thirty feet of the old Masonic
property In South Holman street and
paid $4,000 cash for 1t.
Philip Piasa, who represented his
four brothers, became convinced that
Hammond is a good place to start a
retail and wholesale fruit business and
so he came to town the other day and
picked out the property he wanted.
He found that Gostlin. Meyn &
company had recently purchased it and
went to them to get their price The
deal was soon decided upon and they
went back to Chicago to get their law
yer.
Yesterday he came out to Hammond
with them and signifed the intention
of his clients to close the deal When
1t came to the point Of where the mon
sy was to be paid over Mr.. Beckman,
representing the company, expected
that payment would be made by check.
Instead each of the four brothers be-
gan digging down in one pocket after
another and pulled out one wad after
another until finally there on the table
was $4,000 In actual coin and bills.
The pile was a huge one and 1t took
some time to count it and the real
estate men were compelled to fairly
wallow in the money until 1t was final
ly counted
Mr.. Beckman said that he had neveI
closed a deal so satisfactorily. The
men knew exactly what they wanted,
We're willing to pay the price to get it
and when they paid the p-ice it was In
real money.
The Piasa brothers VIII build two
story brick building this spring on
their newly acquired property and one
OF the younger of them will have
