Music lovers and 'theater-goers know Fritzi Scheff better perhaps than they know any other star of the contemporary stage, but the inquiries for facts regarding Madame Scheff's 8 early life and training have become so insistent since her wonderful suc- cess in the Henry Blossom-Victor Herbert comic opera, The Prima Donna" that the following paragraph will, no doubt, be of especial interest.

A Freak Lamb

Oscar E. Ekdahl was in the
city Monday. He tells of a freak
lamb which he found in his herds
the other day. 1t seems a perfect
ly healthy animal, with a good
appetite, but it is devoid of legs.
With the exception of some little
short stubs where the front legs
should be-, there is no sign of
those most useful parts with
which lambs are wont to skip
blithely DER the lea. Mr.. Ekdahl
took the little unfortunate to the
house and it is being fed and
cared for, though there is not
much prospect of it's ever being
more than a freak.

House Burned

Mrs. Gari5h, who has a home
stead on Jack creek, had the mis-
fortune to have her house burned
to the ground Tuesday. She
came to town and left the young
est girl, about Ii years old, and a
boy 10, at home. The little girl
says that she got dinner for her
self and her brother, after which
she laid down on the bed and
went to sleep. The smoke woke
her up and she was just able to
get out of the burning building.
Neither she nor the boy know
how the building caught fire. The
building, a log house, and all it's
contents, was a total loss. Mrs.
Garrish is a poor woman and the
loss will fall heavily on her.

ELECTRICITY
Party Investigating Possibilities
Of Upper Country for Pow.
er Plant.

The Sun has reliable informa-
ton that an electrical expert paid
this valley a visit recently and in
vestigated the possibility of es-
t%ablishing an electrical plant on
French creek. 1t was his opinion
that at a certain point on that creek
a mammoth electric plant, sufi-
clent to furnish power for every
industry in the state, could be
erected at a comparatively small
cost. This man estimated that
turbine power to the extent of
100000 horse power, went to
waste annually. After making a
thorough examination and esti-
mate the expert left for the east
to make his report. Capital will
shortly be interested and the pro-
jet put through.
1t is estimated that the water
power in question would develop
sufficient electrical power to fur
nish every town in the state with
hight and power for all their
industries, besides furnishing the
motive power for all the trains
on the Wyoming division Of the
Union Pacific road. This power
site is only one of a dozen, on
either side of the valley, that could
be developed and made to carry
ligh, and power to any point
needed. Electric roads, manufac.
turing establishments and every
industry requiring light and pow
err, to an almost unlimited number
can be supplied by the water pow
err in the Continental divide and
the Medicine Bow ranges. All
that is required is capital to de-
velop them.

verence count for anything. Mr..

life. The Bishop is a learned
man and spoke in a low, clear
voice, full of feeling, that took
deep hold on every one present.
He portrayed, in graphic Ian
guage the misery and sorrows of
the world and how utterly made
|quate wealth or position was to
assuage a single grief. The soul
was yer longing for the true light
and nothing but the true light
would satisfy 1t.
The Bishop said Mass in Jen-
Sen hall Tuesday morning at 7:30
and a number attended the SER
vices.
The Catholic church has a deed
to a corner of a block on Bridge
street, northwest of the First
Presbyterian church. 1t is the
intention to build ii modest
church there within the next year
for the accommodation of the yor-
shippers of that faith. This
building will be put up so that as
the town grows and the congrega-
lions increase it can be added to

G. s. Taylor, the old bear hun
ter, and his two bloodhounds, ac-
companied by johnson Rose, left
Sunday OF his annual bear hunt.
This has been the annual recrea-
ton of Mr.. Taylor for the past 30

brown, black and cinnamon. Each
man took along an extra pair of
pants and Il clean kerchief to use
when posing before the camera.

film, went along to take a moving
picture of the bear fights Ms fast
as they occurred and it is the in

of life in the Ear West"
W. II. Greene and j. B. Chat
terton came down from the range
Tuesday. They said they had
been unable to sleep for the past
Two days on account of the terri
BILE conflict going on almost night

were fighting valiantly,) Taylor,
Rose and the dogs. They had al
ready killed one cub and the two
they were after and the four they
expected to get today would make
seven. Taylor's clothing n in
tatters, Rose was lame in his off
leg and the bloodhounds were
leurlng steaks out of the bears
faster than the men could take
cnre of them. Mr.. Greene and
Mr.. Chatterton went to ser the
game warden to see if the terrible
slaughter could not be stopped
before the bears were totally exter-
minated.
Later-Billy has returned from
the scene of activity for two more
moving picture machines. lie
says one machine is no good, He
needs one for the bears and the
dogs and one each to record the
antics of Taylor and Rose as they
fly f~rantically in different direc.

Men You Meet Every Day

Did you ever see a lot of men
who had it in for IA fellow, yet new
er knew why? Ever hear fellows
who curse and berate some man
because he had made a ucces of
what he untertook, while they
made a failure of everything they
we're tinkering with? Ever run
across these human lepers who
try to build themselves up by
tearing down the other fellow?
Ever hear the perjurer take an
oath to assist and defend his bro
ther, then turn him down at the
first opportunity2 Ever run
across the big-hearted man who
takes you by the hand and says,
I'm glad to See you do 80 well,
brother?" OF course you have;
YOU meet them most every day.
There are scores of people who
either greet you with a smile or
cowardly stab you in the back be
cause you attend to your W bus
mess. Envy takes hold of them
to such an extent that they can
see no merit in anything or any
