NOTED HORSE THIEF
NOW IN PENITENTIARY.

c. w. Eads, who carries the reputa-
ton of a successful horse ,nief, will do
time in the penitentiary for a thetr
committed in Big Horn county, of
which he has just been convicted, says
the Casper Tribune. For a number OF
years Eads operated in the neighbor-
ing county of Fremont and several at
tempts to convict him were made in
that county. None were successful, SO
the horse owners along the county line
laid for their man and finally caught
him in a Big Horn county horse steal
ing raid. His conviction promptly fol
lowed, and during the next few years
he will be eliminated from the ele-
ments which ranchmen of that section
are forced to combat. Eads was a resi-
dem of casper ABOUT twelve years g
and at one time owned considerable
property on Casper mountain, the min
ing camp of Eadsville being named af-
ter him.

passable is to remove the loose stones

PAGES for Local Men.

The executive committee of the
Laramie Commercial club took up
with Agent A. B. Cady of the Union
Pacific yesterday afternoon the mat
ter of employing local men on the
pipe line to the springs, the club hav-
ing the lanes of some fifty men who
belong to the rolling mill and other
forces of the city and who hope to
find employment until the mill starts
up again, A telegram was sent to
Chief Engineer Huntley at Omaha,

late, as the arrival of a gang of Japs
