SURE-ENOuGH PRISONER -
WHO WANTS A BATH.

Marshal Sherard has a prisoner in
the city Jail who needs a bath, says
the Thermopolis Record. The mar
shall says that he has offered to let the
man carry water and heat it at the
Jail and take a swim in a wash tub,
but the prisoner wants to be taken out
and allowed to lave in the healing wa
tiers of the springs. To carry his point
he wrote to DR.. Charles Richards ask
ing the latter to intervene and see
that he gets what he needs, and puts
the knotty question: How long can
they keep a man in jail without Civ
ing him a bath?" The doctor decided
that the marshal had made a reason
able offer, and declines to butt in. The
strategy board, in session at Simmons
fruit store, wrestled with the problem
and finally concluded that the man
ought to be swashed in the big spring.
The matter is still unsettled, and in
the meanwhile the world Is waiting IN
breathless suspense and the prisoner
remains unwashed.

day evening, April 2, 1908, says the
Thermopolis Record. the residence
of Superintendent Paulus was the
scene of the happy event, which was
conducted by Rev. Ira McConaughy of
the Presbyterian church. The high
contracting parties were Mr.. George
Brown and Miss Lizzie Morrison. The
groom was dressed in the regulation
cowboy chaps and other toggery of
the range, while the bride was a
dream that would have made glad the
heart of a painter of western life
riding habit, mountain boots, gold
mounted spurs and all. Mr.. Brown is
a young mar of sterling worth, who
has been employed on the range here.
about for several years, while the
young lady whom he has taken as a
helpmeet is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. NJ. Morrison of Grass creek.
She has grown from childhood in this
vicinity and is highly esteemed by a
large circle of friends. The happy
couple will make their home on Mud
creek. They have the best wishes of
the Record, and here is hoping that
each roped a prize in the roundup of
matrimony.

touching manner:
There was a chap who owned a store
and often wished it grander, he sold
his goods to all who came-his name
was Alexander. He mixed his goods
with cunning hand Che was a skillful
blender) and since his sugar was half
sand, they called him Alexander. He
had a sweetheart (pretty maid), admir-
ingly he scanned her; he asked he If

Daughter of American Father and

Left Her Now Becomes Appeal
From Father in Prison Who Says
Mother Was Wife of American.

There of four year ago s.. A. Craw.
ford Of this city received a letter pur.
porting to have been written by q
monk in Spain telling him that the
daughter of a relative of his, whose
father was an American and her mother
a Spanish lady, is heir to a large for.
tune in that country, and that the
American relative will be made admin.
istrator of the estate If he will pay
certain court expenses. A little later
a Denver man received a somewhat
similar letter and it was exposed in
the papers of that city as the Craw-
ford matter had been in The Republi.
a of this city.
The following from Hannibal, Mo,
to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat is
evidently the same scheme, under a
somewhat different covering, the old

Rev. w. c. Busby has received a
letter from a purported relative. Louis
Rodrigude Busby, who claims to be in
prison in Madrid, Spain. The writer
says his mother was Mrs. Mary Busby,
who, along with all his people, are
dead, save a 14-yearold daughter.
He further claims to have 100000
in a box in a fireproof vault in a bank
in England and a draft for the money
is in one of his trunks, but he fears
to divulge its hiding place, as such
might result in its loss to him.

HE asks that Rev. Busby come TO
Madrid, get possession of the fund
and return to America with his
daughter and provide her a home, and
he will give him s125,OOO of the money.
Rev. Busby will be slow to act in
the premises, as the whole matter
smacks of an hallucination of a dis

ROBERT SKERRETT GETS INFoR.
NATION FOR NEWSPAPER AR
TICLES FROM THE INSIDE
Consulting Expert and Former For
eign Representative of Lake Tor.
pedo Boat Company Closely Cues
toned by Chairman of House Com
mittee, Who Is Much Wrought Up.

Washington, d. c., April 9.-That
there has been a leak in the navy de.
partment for years and that secret and
confidential reports and information
in the possession of the department
have been regularly furnished to him,
was admitted by Robert G. Skier
rett of New YORK, consulting expert
and foreign representative of the Lake
Torpedo Boat company, to the subma-
rine investigating committee.
Basis for Articles.
Mr.. Skerrett further admitted this
number of articles he had written for
American and foreign publications in
the interests of armies and navies.
Closely questioned by the committee,
Mr.. Skerrett said that he had person
ally obtained some of the information
from Rear Admiral Caps, head of the
bureau Of construction, and Comman-
der Marsh, and from the chief officials
Of the various bureaus.
Information from Unknown Source.
The most important of this informa.
ton, however, came to him, he said,
while abroad, and from some one
whose identity he has never known.
He received it by letter. The direc-
ton had been typewriter and the en-
velope postmarked Washington. The
writer evidently had not known his adj
dress because all the letters had been
sent to the Lake company at Bridge
port, Conn, and had there been re-di-
rected and forwarded to him in Ber-
lin.
Failed to Get CIew.
Chairman Boutell of the committee
was much wrought up over the testi-
mony, and sought by the most rigid
cross-examination to get a clew as to
the anonymous correspondent of Mr..
Skerrett, but without success. He then
severely criticised Mr.. Skerrett for
having written and caused to be pub
lished matters that the writer knew
were strictly private matters with the
navy department and could only have
been obtained by su~rreptitious means.
He sharply demanded of Mr.. Skerrett
if he thought that such action on his
part indicated loyalty to his own coun
try.
Working in company's Interest.
Mr.. Skerrett said that he had lever
viewed his work in that light. He had
been working in the interest of the
company, and had taken whatever
means he considered honorable to fur
Their the interests of his employers.
He admitted that he had been indis-
Greet, but never Intentionally disloyal
