Senator CulbersOn, of Texas, is the

not a Dixie Democrat since Dixie j.,

South and their ability has never been

good New York Democrat would make

is on the wing Mr.. Bryan has put ON
his farming garb and is looking after
the crops. Happy man to have such
retreat to which he can retire from
the huzzahs Of the multitude,.
1t is intimated that the Gray and
Johnson forces will combine. While
Bryan is the most conspicuous Amer-
can citizen, and whileit would be our
pleasure to support him, we are per
suaded that Johnson is the most
available candidate TO be put i'm the
field. We wish Mr.. Bryan would be
satisfied with his worldwide popu-
larity and shoe the "been from his
bonnet. lie has reached the pinnacle
by his own unaided efforts, and
should enjoy the proud position es-
chung politics. Neither Clay nor
Webster, nor Calhoun, nor Blaine
could win the glitterng prize, and
Mr.. Bryan should have no tinge of
modification at his own failure.

In Justice Court.

Marshall Klepper arrested Roy
Osborne for carrying concealed
weapons last Saturday and took
him before Judge Winsor. Os-
borne was fined $40 and costs and
the gun was contiscated.
Marshal Keeper is to be COM
mended for this action. So many
shooting scrapes and murders
might be prevented if the law
against concealed weapons was
more strictly enforced.
In this connection the Sun
notes that it is also Mr.. Klepper's
intention to enforce the law in re-
gard to selling of liquor to min
T He has had notices posted
in all the saloons to the effect that
all violations of that law will be
dealt with severely. 1t is very
evident that Mr. Klepper will look
well to the safety of the affairs oil
the town and he should receive
the support of every citizen IN hl'
efforts to enforce the law.

Saratoga people are taking
great interest in the Endurance
Race now on between Evanston

the fact that the race is a test of
the endurance of the western
horse, but more especially because
it has a representative in the race

his horse Buck. From what is
known of Dave. as we'll as his
horse it is believed by many here
that he will give "A good report of

NOTES ON THE GAME

Plummer and Tillou are IA bat
terry that are tit to play in any
kind of company.
The Hanna boys were gentle
men and played some ball.
With the same lineup any Wy
oming team that can beat our
boys can break Saratoga.
Plummer held a man on first
while Tillou famed three men.
That's playing ball.
Saratoga's End baseman was
short in stature, but there with
the goods.
Hanna's South paw" pitcher
was a good one, but his support
was not what it ought to have
been.
Hanna's Bird base just can't be
beaten.
Bob Oglesby covered LIST like a
league player and hit the ball the
same way.
Our 15-year-old player, Loran
Kitch, played his position like a
veteran all the way thru and
closed his work in a blaze of glory
by starting a triple play in the
last half of the ninth that ended
the game.
After the ball game a match foot
race between +. l.. Gould of this
place and Ed Grooman of Hanna
was run. The race was won by
Groomap. The men were at once
matched for "A race at Hanna 3
