OWNER
ON GROUND
HENRY IDDMANN ARRIVES FROM
PITTSBURG TO TAKE POS
SESSION OF BREWERY.
Bought Plant From Charles Helbis
and George Berner, Paying Large
Sum in Cash, and viii Overhaul
It to Meet Modern Requirements
in the Business of Brewing.

Henry Widdmann of Pittsburg, Pa,
who recently purchased the Laramie
brewery from Charles Helbig and
George Berner, a cash transaction in
volving several thousand dollars, ar
rived from the east last night and to-
day assumed the management of the
enterprise. He will proceed to put the
brewery in first-class condition, max
ing of it one of the best small brew
cries in the west. Associated with Mr..
Widdmann will be his son, Harry, and
John Smith, an experienced brewer.
Mr.. Smith and his family are already
in the city. Mr.. Widdmann's house
hold goods are on the way, and with
their coming his family will make
their home here. The brewery colony
will embrace an addition of thirteen
souls to the population of the city.
Inventor of Process.
Mr.. Widdmann was the inventor of
the process of the manufacture of b.
hemian malt, and while he was beaten
to the patent office with his formula,
he has the right to manufacture this
excellent brew, and it will be one of
the products of the Laramie brewery
one of the finest malt drinks ever
turned out of any brewery. In addi-
ton, the brewery will produce porter,
ale and the standard beer that has
made the institution well known in
this section.
Making Improvements.
The improvements will necessitate
the expenditure of a considerable sum
of money, the buildings and different
departments being placed in the best
possible shape. Mr.. Widdmann is an
expert in the business, having learned
the trade in Germany, and proposes
to have the plant in such shape that
his talent can be seen, felt and tasted
in the product. Gus Johnson of this
city this morning entered upon the
contract of filling the large ice houses
at the brewery, which will contain a
sufficient quantity of ice to carry on
the business for a year at a time. The
ice will be taken from the Laramie
river and is of excellent quality and
great thickness.
