Sheridan, Wyoming, is alleged to have
stolen a horse, which was all saddled
and bridled. Mr.. Van Lindt then rode
away. 5 .%
IN the olden days Nj. Van L7indt
would probably have been hanged. ere
this, but modern laws are more mer.
cifu,l and he is simply held here BY
the police for the sheriff Of Sheridan.
His failure to pay for a steak which
he had ordered in q restaurant led to
his arrest by onicer Foster. and after
he was taken to Jail It was toundsthat
he apparently answered the descrip

Sheriff Boneftel has telegraphed that
he will arrive today and return, his
prisoner to the Sheridan jail. l.

At a meeting Of the local post Of
the Grand Army OF the Republic, held
in the court house Saturday evening,
arrangements for the observance Of

were in q drunken stupor. as a bottle
of whisky, nearly empty. was found
lying at the side Of the track a few
inches from the rail and it looked
like it had not been disturbed when
the train struck the men.
Although the injured man is un.
conscious as a result of a fracture Of
the skull which he received, it is be-
lieved that he was drunk, Judging
from the odor Of whisky which per-
vades his breath and person.
Schmidt Taken to Hospital.
A rancher named Ryan. residing
near the scene of the accident,
brought Schmidt to the city and he
taken to the hospital, soon after
the accident occurred. E
Coroner Smith was notified that a
man had been killed, and left for
Ryan crossing On a light engine late
Sunday afternoon. After making an
examination he returned with Mil.

OF the mems names had been ascer-
tanned, as nothing but a few tobacco
coupons were found on their bodies.
The injured man was aroused from
his stupor at the hospital after that
and he gave the names Of himself
and companion. He could not tell
how the accident occurred, however,
and beyond the statement he was
walking down the track, very little
was cleaned from him.

 The message had reference to the two games left unfinished on March II and upheld the contention of the American committee that the games could not bc won by the Engllshmen, despite the fact that each of the lat ter had the advantage of pawn.
