SAW US AT
VERY BEST
FIRST OF EXCURSION PARTY TO
BE BROUGHT TO LARAMIE
PLAINS BY COMPANY.
Messrs. TaIImadge and Buntin Arrive
With Party of Thirty-five, Some
Of Them Meeting Fellow Towns
men Here-Gone to Wyoming to
Inspect the Haley Ranch.

A special Pullman car, occupied by
Messrs. Tallmadge and Buntin, off
GERS of the Tallmadge C Buntin COM
pany, capitalized for a million dollars
and owning the ranches recently pur-
chased here, arrived here this morn
ing, the car being attached to train
No. Z. There were t~hirty-five in the
party, including gentlemen from Ohio,
Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
other states, here to look over the
situation with a view to buying homes
in the division of the immense hold
ings of the Tallmadge & Buntin com.
pany.
Driven About the Streets.
The company took breakfast here
and were shown about the city, auto.
mobiles and carriages being used to
transport the PARTY over town. They
seemed to enjoy the visit Immensely,
and spent a very pleasant hour. Sew
eral of the party had friends here and
these hunted up the visitors and ex-
tended to them a hearty western well
come. Messrs. Frank Terry, Arthur
Smith and L. j. Mills had friends from
their old home in Ohio, and they took
charge of them, showing just what
western hospitality is like.
AT s o'clock a special train was
made up here and the members of the
party were taken to wyoming, where
they will spend today and tomorrow
looking over the Haley land. This
ranch is considered one of the best in
the state, and there will be something
to show the visitors every hour OF
their stay.
May Return Tomorrow.
When they left here Messrs. Buntin
and Tallmadge hoped to return tomor-
row, spending the night here and 60
ing to the Hoge and Riverside ranches
on Saturday, where another day will
be spent in sightseeing. 1t is be-
lieved the fasteners will not leave
before Saturday night or Sunday.
Members of the Laramie CONNER
cial club were made acquainted with
many of the visitors, and the club,
realizing the nature of the visit, will
see that whatever plans are needed
to impress upon the minds of the visi-
tors the things to be offered here, and
see hat nothing is omitted.
Wyoming Weather.
The weather was ideal. There could
not have been a more beautiful morn
ing made to order. Agent A. B. Cady
late in the night sent a telegram to
meet the party en- route, giving the
weather conditions at that hour and
the representations for the day, "hit-
ting it to a T." the urbane agent said,
as he RATED himself upon the head,
proving that a weather prophet Is not
without honor wen in his own coun-
try. The visitors were delighted at
the snappy. balmy air, waited from
the snow-capped hills and warmed by
a Wyoming May sun. They were
hardly prepared for our particular
brand of weather, having come through
some rough weather east of us, but
the surprise was as much a delight
as the weather itself. Scores of Lar.
annie post cards were sent to eastern
friends.
