E.. Reed Myer Arrested

The appointment of Bob Meld-
rum as deputy sheriff for the
Snake river portion of Carbon
county has already begun to bear
frrit. Z. M. Horton, sheriff of
Carbon county, went down to
Denver last week, returning
Thursday with a ranchman by
the name of Meyers who is said
to not only have been implicated
in the theft of cattle and horses
in the Snake river country, but to
know a great deal about the cattle
rustling of that regin and also OF
being willing to tell what he
knew.
That portion of Carbon county
has long held an evil reputation
for horse-stealing and cattle rustl-
ing and the gang simply laughed
at all efforts to break it up. Sew
eral months ago Meyers left
Snake river for Denver, but the
authorities have kept tab on him
and his arrest is the result.

Death Of Jonathan Veitch

The body of Jonathan Veitch,
the newly elected county commits
sioner from Elk Mountain, was
found dead in a cabin near his
ranch last Wednesday morning by
a searching party. He had gone
out Tuesday and as he did not
return that evening a searching
party was organized Wednesday
and his body was found seated on
a chunk of wood in the cabin.
He had been afflicted with what is
known as miners asthma" and
this was the immediate cause of
his death, he having choked to
death in a fit of coughing. The
burial took place at Carbon on
Friday and was largely attended,
as he was very highly esteemed by
all who knew him. He leaves a
wife and five sons, George, John,
Evan, Dan and Lincoln. Much
sympathy is expressed for the
family in their affection.

A Thrilling Rescue

Every one knows the old horse
that Hunter d. Laughlin drive in
their delivery wagon and every
one knows that he is az slow as
moiasses in January. But last
Monday, while standing at the
depot, the old fellow got fright
ened at something and started to
run away. E. L.. Gould was
standing in front of his place of
business, just east of the bridge
and saw the horse coming and he
knew hs must be stopped-or he
would stop himself. Ed. is a
Splinter by profession and he put
out at his best gate to meet the
But the old horse
had considerably the best of the
start and had gotten half way to
the bridge before Ed, with one
swift tug, brought him to a stand
still amid the cheers of the "popu-
lace" Ed. bushes a little over
feat, but the old horse has not
been heard to make any remark
on the incident.

c. S. Taylor Loses Diploma

The many friends of G. s. Tay-
lor, the City Marshal, are sympa-
thizing with him over the loss of
his diploma as Town Dog Veter-
mary. 1t seems that Mr.. Taylor
had a valuable imported hound
that was suffering from a rupture.
Mr. Taylor mistook the trouble for
an abscess and proceeded to open
up the wound. What was his as
constituent when the "inards" of
the hound began to pour outl He
sent for needle and thread and
hastily sewed the wound up,
but in doing SO he amalgamated
things to such an extent that a
board of inquiry very promptly
reduced him to the ranks of the
common people and took his
diploma" away from him. For
further particulars concerning this
unhappy affair see either Mr.. Tay-
lor or A. W. Eager. In the mean
time the editor of the Sun will
take a trip to the mountains until
affair cools down.

On the complaint of Humane
Agent, W. G.. Forney, about a
month ago, g. HI. Mitwalsky vas
fined and given 80 days in Jail by
Judge Winsor. He was released
and the sentence suspended dur
ing good behavior. For the past
week or ten days Nit has been

shall Taylor found the hogs and
horses without food and they had
been without for several days.

A Fine Snow Storm

Snow began falling shortly
after dark Monday evening and
continued without intermission
until 4 O'Clock yesterday. The
weather was mild and there was
no wind. Snow to the depth of
two feet fell and it will be of
great benefit to the valley, tho
it will be hard on stock for the
reason that it has covered up all
the feed. We may look for a
wind that will bare the ground
and pile the snow up in drifts.

Senator Sam F. Price

Frank w. Barrow has been
writing very interesting articles
for the Wyoming Tribune under
the caption: People You Know"
Members of the next Legislature
have been coming in for a good
share of attention from his pen of
late and we clip the following con-
corning our own townsman, DIR.
Sam F. Price, which will prove
interesting to Sun readers:
"Should the members of the
senate at the Tenth assembly fall
victims to enlargement of the
heart, fits, locomotor ataxia, cold
feet, or any other maladies incl
dental to the weighty cares of
state, they may rejoice in the fact
that there will be a real up to date
medico on the spot to minister to
their bodily needs.
DR.. Sam F. Price of Saratoga,
in addition to being the only M.
d. in the senate, shares with G..
M. Winkleman, the distinction of
being the only Republican men,
Der of the Legislature from Carbon
county. In fact Sans whole po-
litical career has been more or less
remarkable, for in the various Of
fees for which he has run, never
once has defeat set it's mark upon
him.
DIR. Price adnsts that he halls
from Missouri, but claims he has
been away from that state so long
that he has outlived the popular
superstition in regard to it's ma
tives. The doctor also owns up
to being once a pedagogue, hav-
ing taught school very
fully in Kansas, before beg inning
his medical course at the Univer-
sity of Michigan. He was grad
uated from this institution in 1891
and has practiced medicine sue
cessfully ever since.
In 1898 DIR. Sam came to the
Platte valley, locating in
Saratoga, where he has built up a
thriving practice and owns and
operates a we'll equipped drug
store. His standing in the COM
munity which he represents is
best exempliied in his political
career, and the fact that his never
yet being defeated either at con-
vention or polls, is a remarkable
test of his popularity. In 1904
he al elected to his first term in
the state senate, defeating Judge
Kuykendall, his Democratic op-
ponent. At the recent election
last November, he defeated 1. M.

Nobody Knows-But Father

Nobody knows the money it takes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the debt it makes
Nobody knows-but father.
Nobody's told that the boys need shoes
And the girls hats with q feather;
Nobody else old clothes must choose,
Nobody-but father.
Nobody hears hat the coal and wood
And iour's out together;
Nobody else must make them good
Nobody-only father.
Nobody's hand in the pocket goes
So often, wondering whether
There's any end to the wants of those
DePendent-only father.
Nobody thinks where the money will
To pay the bills that gather;
Nobody feels so blue and glum-
Nobody-only father.
Nobody tries 30 hard to lay
Up something for bad weather,
And runs behind, do what he may
Nobody-only father.
Nobody comes from the worlds cruel
storm
To meet dear ones who gather
Around with loving welcome warm
Nobody does-but father.
Nobody knows Of the home life pure,
Watched over by a mother,
Where rest and bliss are all secure,
Nobody can-but father.

THELARAMIE
PLAINS LINE
A Railroad Wyoming is Proud of
Backed and Built By MEN
Of Brains


Laramie to Albany, has been dub
bed 1.-The Laramie Plains Line"
The name fits it nicely. Until
last week it had never been the
good fortune of the writer to trav-
ell over the line. Thru the court
esy of Hon. F. A. Miller, Presi-
dent of the company, he was en-
able1 to make the journey and
found it a very pleasant one.
The one train, a mixed one,
leaves the company's own depot
at Tbs a. m. The one passenger
car was we'll filled with passengers
bound for their ranches along the
line, or for the towns of Centen-
NAL, Albany, Walden, Colo, and
the towns of Rambler and Key.
stone up in mountains.
We found the service good, the
roadbed solid and the time excel
lent. The road makes a bee line
from Laramie, acros the great
Laramie Palms." where there is
at present such activity in real
estate and ditch building,) to
Centennial, a beautiful little city
that snuggles up close against the
foot hills. In fact it is not diff
ficult to tell where the valley ends
and hills begin, for the latter seem
to start right up out of the
ground, as if they ment to block
any further progress of the valley
in that direction. To Centennial
the road is fenced and hanked by
a telephone line. The line has it's
own depots-smart looking, up.to.
date structures, and one is impress
sed with the thoroughness of
everything connected with the
line.
At Centennial we got a glimpse
of a building, whose front bore
the legend: "The Centennial
Post" and we knew that was
where was issued that bright in
teresting little journal that is al
ways welcome at the Sun Office.
Lack of time only prevented us
from running over to at least say
"How?"
From Centennial the road turns
due south and after five miles
thru fertile meadows it begins to
hug the foothills and finally we
find ourselves looking out ove
the beautiful Centennial valley,
with it's many thrifty ranch hous-
es, broad fields, thickly dotted
with cattle and horses and the
charming and inviting scenery of
its surroundings.
At Albany the track came to
an end. Here the trains are met
by the stages from Walden, Colo,
Holmes RAMBLER Mine,) and
keystone. There is a two story
log house at this place, owned by
MI. McNealey, which furnishes
meals and lodging to the wayfarer.
Here all is activity and hustle for
the grading camps are nearby.
At this point the road leaves the
valley and by a process of wind
ing in and out among the foot
hills, proceeds to strike out for
Walden and the immense coal
fields and stock farms of North
Park. Standing at the door of
the McNealey residence and look
ing up the mountain side, M can
see three lines of grade, n above
the other, as the road climbs up
ward among the sharp foothills,
and five or six miles of track are
necessary to carry The road a mile
in a straight line.
A temporary depot is being
built here, for track laying has
been supended for the present,
but will be resumed in the spring.
Stock yards have been erected and
the stock from the upper end oil
the valley is shipped from here

the way OF shipping stock, as it is
said that 10000 head of cattle find
their way to market yearly from
that region. Another source OF
much revenue will be the ship.
ment of coal from the immence
coal beds in the Park, some oil
which are 60 feet in thickness.
The future of the Laramie
Plains Line cannot be anything
but bright, for it runs thru as fine
a ranch country as ever lay out of
doors and before another year
there will be many homes dotting
the plains where today there is
broad expanse of prairie. The
large ranch holdings are being
purchased by big corporations and
the land cut up into 40, 80 and
l6O acre tracts and sold to eastern
farmers, who r coming west to
build up homes. In a few years
the Laramie Plains will have en-.
tirely changed their appearance
and thrift and industry will be the
order of the day.
Then, too, the mountains at the
head of the Centennial valley are
rich in gold, silver and copper
ores and this ore will find it's way
to market over this road and sup
plies will be returned to the vast
army of toilers that will fill these
mountains. The timber in the
mountains, of which there is an
immense supply, will be made in
to lumber and hauled to market
by this road
1t is not hard to look forward a
few years and see the great activ-
ity of this region along all lines of
western industry and that the L.
81. P. & P. will be the centre of
that activity. MI. VanHorn and
Mr.. Miller, the two moving spirits
in the building of this road, have
builded better than they knew and
if they live ten years longer. will
see that even their rosiest dreams
of this little railroad and the
country it penetrates were quite
commonplace in respect to what
the real advancement will be, the
great revolution that will have
been wrought by the laying of
these steel rails into the Centen-
NAL valley.
Stephen Corey, the passenger
conductor on this line, is a young
man of promise. BE is kind.
courteous and gentlemanly in all
respects and has the esteem of the
patrons of the road. His duties
are multifarious, for he is con-
ductor, breakman, baggage master
and mail clerk, all in one, and
now and then he is prize fighter
and bouncer when a bunch of
graders get too obnoxious. But
he does his work well and with
out any Objectionable display of
force or harshnese, Weighing
close to 200 pounds, with MUSCLES
like whip cord, he commands res
spect from every ore. he can be
sunshine and warmth, but he can
be a howling cyclone if it is nec-
essary.
This road will be a scenic route
of rare beauty when it ia complet-
ed thru the mountains. The
Centennial valley contains many
cold, swift, mountain streams that
abound with trout which will fasc-
mate the man with rod and reel.
The valley is one of rare beauty
and will attract the pleasure seek
er with irresistible force. There
is rest and healing in this valley
and in it's mountain breezes and
life-giving sunshine. The time
will come when it will be famed
far aud wide as a pleasure resort
as will many other delightful val
leys in Wyoming.
