Creates New Reserves

Washington-President Roose-
welt has signed a proclamation
creating Loeb Katrine a bird re-
serve in Big Horn basin, Wyom-
ing. The reserve embraces an
area of about $500 acres, in the
midst of which is the reservoir of
the Shoshone Irrigation company.
In recent years since this reser-
voir was built all manner of wild
ducks have frequented this locali-
ty, and it has become a notorious
breeding ground for different
kinds of edible water fowl. The
eserve was created at the request
of the Audubon society, which
has been instrumental in many
other states along the coast. This
is the Only bird reserve between
North Dakota and Oregon.

Superintendent r. d. Stewart
of the Laramie Plains line, re-
turned recently from a trip of in
spection as far south as Albany,
says he hopes to have regular
train service on the Walden ex-
tension of the line to that station
by the Doth of this month, at the
furthest, if the weather does not
interfere with the ballasting of
the track. Albany is about nine
miles from Centennial and is the
next station beyond Stewart. The

Gold Freezes Up

1t now seems likely that we are
not to know the results of the
short run of the American Gold
Placer company on Douglas creek.
Officers of the Company were on
the ground this week and last, for
the purpose of experimenting the
first cleanup of gold, but in spite
of the rush to place the machinery
in operation a few weeks ago and
the energy with which the ground
has been opened, the company and
those watching its progress, were
disappointed, because of the sud-
den change of the weather, the
sluices and rifles freezing solid in
a night, preventing the cleanup,
or the obtalnience of the gold, I'M
less fire vas adopted as the meth
cd and the boxes burned. This,
the company does not desire to do,

Dance at Matt Watts

Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Watt
gave a dance and supper at their
ranch on Cedar creek last Friday
night which drew a large crowd
and proved to be a most enjoyable
affair. About 40 people vent out
from Saratoga to be present. The
music was good and the supper
served at midnight was appetizing
and disappeared like magic before
the hungry dancers. The festiv-
tiles lasted until the early morn
ing hours, when all went home,
hoping that the good people of
the Watt ranch would soon take
it into their heads to give another
dancing party.

New Disease

The focks of Wyoming are
threatened with a serious out
break of leg and hip liberation,
and 50 grave is the situation that
the state board of sheep com
missioners has ordered DIR. s. w.
Peck, a trained veterinarian of
wide experience, to the scene of
the trouble in Crook county to es-
tablish quarantine lines, isolate
the affected sheep, and spare no
expense in taking every precau-
ton against the spread of the di-
DR.. Peck, who was given
complete control by the board, is
already on the ground. AS soon
as the necessary examinations can
be made, quarantine lines will be

forth to stamp out the dread con
tagion and the affected sheep will
be isolated and treated -Wyom-

Hereford Bulls

John Quealy and III. G, Paulson
passed thru here last week with a
fine bunch of yearling Herefords
purchased in North park and in
tended for their herds in Pass
creek basin and the Quealy &
Sons ranch near Elk Mountain.
The bulls, all yearlings but one,
came from the King herd and the
Mallin Bros. herd, of Walden,
Colo. There were sixteen ami
mails in the bunch, two of which
go to Emile Lemoine, on Pass
creek, seven to the herds of Ii. @.
Paulson and seven to the herds of
Quealy & Sons, at old Fit. Hal
leck. These are what is termed
yearlings, yet they r all very
large for their age and really

Moved Into the New Quarters

W. G. Edwards has moved into
his new harness shop and is enjoy
ngi the luxury of having space
enough for his large stock of
goods. He is wondering, along
with the rest of us, how he ever
got along in his old, cramped
quarters. AS soon as the large
glass front is in he will have one
of the finest shops in southern
Wyoming, and will be able to dis
play his stock to a good advan-
tage. Mr. Edwards intends to

Resignation of Miss McCandless

The Saratoga School is soon to
lose the excellent services of Miss
Mae McCandless, who has resign
ed her position here to accept a
place in the high schools of Lam
ar, Colo. AS her training and
preparation for school work has
been along that line she is quite
fortunate in securing a position
in her chosen branch. As her
work here has been of the most
satisfactory kind every one re-
grets her coming departure very
much. She will probably remain
until her is chosen,
which will be at the end of the
present month.

Proposed Railroad Extension

Rumors are flying thick and
fast as to the intention of the
Burlington to close the gap be-
tween Kirby and Guernsey, via
Thermopolis. While We do not
claim to have any inside informa-
ton as to when this will be done,
all signs point to the beginning
of work at an early day. 1t is
stated on what appears to be good
authority that plans are now be-
ing matured, and that there will
be little further delay. Engineers
have been at work on the line
from Shoshoni to Boysen within
the last few days, but w M. En-
glesign, chief locating engineer,
will give out no statement beyond
saying that the road will be built.
High officials of the company al
so have made the same announce
ment, but always fail to set the
time for beginning, but from their
activity it is judged that this will
be one of the first works under
taken.
With the restoration of conf
dence in business and financial
circles, We can look hopefully for
the announcement that this road
will start soon. When it does
come, it will pass through Their.
mopolis, and not across the noun
tains-that is a dead certainty

couple of packages with the re-
mark: "These are from my broth
er, George Sullivan, with his COM
pliments. His old neighbors
back in Augusta, Ills, sent him

should say. And those pears-we
thought they we're. prize potatoes

FRANK j. KEEFE
REGAINS LIBERTY
The Supreme Court has Decided that Keefe
was not Given Speedy Trial for Second
0ffense.

After having been three times
M trial, In two counties, under
Indictments for the two men, and
a term in the Denitentiary

late Thursday decided that Frank

kithout further trials for the sec
hid offense with which he is
barged, says the Wyoming Tri-

1t was nearly five years ago that
[eefe, barricaded in his store,
bot and killed two men, one of

liking a disturbance.
Two complaints we're filed, and
one of them Keefe was con-

bange of venue, the second trial
hing held in Laramie, where ne
hs again convicted and sent to

5 term, it was sought to bring
m to trial for the killing of the
cond man, a railroad brakeman

6ion of the supreme court sets
bn free without trial for two
Asons.
First, the court decided that
eefe is entitled to the protection
that clause of the constitution

ery person accused of crime
bill have a speedy trial, and it
o decided that he had not had

The statutes of Wyoming also
bvide that when an indictment
Found the defendant must be

The court decided that the fact

not expect to lay down as soon as
the main body of ore is reached

Stock Report

South Omaha, Nov. 81, 1908.
We have had very fair receipts
of cattle here this week, and while
outside points have reported lib
eral offerings with a decidedly
lower trade, our market has held
up in good shape on killing steers,
although cows and heifers have
suffered a decline of 10 to 15c. On
Tuesday we sold for Pfeitfer &
Cops, Clearmont, Wyo., two cars
of steers at 1915, averaging 1905
lbs. These cattle went to an Hi
nois feeder, and the price is the
highest paid during the month for
either killers or feeders. There
has been strong demand for all
desirable stockers and feeders,
and best kinds are a little higher,
while common and medium classes
are a little lower. Good to choice
killing steers are vuotable at $4.15
to $5.35; fair to good $40 to S4.75;
good to choice COWS and heifers
1855 to 81 25; fair to good $500
to 1855; Gamers and cutters $500
to $500; veal calves $500 to $3.50;
good to choice heavy feeders $4.75
to IS IS; fair to good $40 to
$4.75; good to choice light and
medium weights $4.OO to S4.4O;
fair to good $3.50 to $500.
The general run of killing sheep
and lambs have changed hands but
little during the week, and while
good feeders are strong, common
kinds are weak and rather poor
sale. Good killing lambs are sell
ing at $3.50 to 5000; yearlings
$50 to 81 80; wethers "a 100 to
"a. so; ewes $3.75 to $4,15; feeding
lambs $3.50 to $3.50; yearlings
1915 to S4.35; wethers $3.50 tc
S 40; ewes 1925 to $3.15.

PRICE FIVE GENTS

Sheriff Horton in Rawlins, Wyo.,
and was made a deputy sheriff of
Carbon county, Wyo., and starts
on his crusade against the rust
lers today.
The famous peace officer will
work in Carbon county and in
Routt county, Colo, the CATTLE
mems association running cattle
in both counties He is to re-
ceive a salary of $3.50 a month and
all expenses.
The Snake river cattlemen run
cattle along the Snake river in
Colorado and Wyoming and in
the last year homesteaders have
gone into Routt county and taken
up claims. 1t is alleged that
these homesteaders in place of be-
ing Legitimate settlers are using
the homesteads se a blind and are
in reality cattle rustlers. 1t is al
50 said that the actual homestead
IRIS have been appropriating cattle
found and that the rustling has
become 80 pronounced that the
cowmen are heavy sufferers.
Efforts have been made by the
sheritfs OF Carbon county, Wyo.,
and Routt county, Colo, working
together to break up the rustlers,
but without success, and 30 the
Snake river association decided to
hire Medium on q salary to clean
out the gang.
Meldrum is one of the handieet
men IN the country with his rifle.
He was for some time employed
by the mine owners in Cripple
Greek and later was the mine own
ers' man at Boise, during the Hay
wood-Moyer and Orchard trials.
From Boise, Meldrum went to
Telluride where he has been Tor
several months in the employ of
the mine owners as a special peace
officer.
"Meldrum will have full swing
with the rustlers and Las been told
by the cowmen that they will SEQ
him through any difficulty in
which he may find himself" said
a Wyoming man yesterday, "and
it does not require much guessing
as to the meaning of that state
ment. 1t is certain a chart didn't
have to be furnished Bob Mel
drum to let him know how far and
how strong he could go. He went
up lnto:the country a travelling ar
senal and when he starts out to
round up the rustlers you can ex-
pect to hear of some killings.
THE rustlers in Routt and Car
bon counties have been very bold
and have run things to suit them
selves, stealing cattle with a free
dom that was u reminder of the
old days. With Meldrum in the
field and with the backing of the
powerful cattle association you
may depend upon it that there
will be something doing up there
within a week or So"
Meldrum will have a deputy
sheriff's commission from Routt
county as we'll as from Carbon
county, but will work, presumably,
under the orders of Sheriff Horton

the church. Now on Protestant churches are
so common that notice is taken of them
A young and eloquent pastor of Presbyterian
church in Cleveland, thirty years ago. thought it
would be the proper thing to haze little service on
the first Good Friday of his pastorate, and made
the announcement on Sunday from his pulpit. When
he reached the church on Friday morning he found
the doors securely locked and barred against him.
Today in the same church two services are held on
Good Friday. A vested or surpliced choir was I'M
heard Of in any Presbyterian church in America;
now a surpliced choir is present every Sunday in
most of the churches in the eastern cities.
The sentiment with reference to services and
| the of holding them has entirely changed
among the Presbyterians in the past few years. In
fact in all the Protestant churches there has been
at work process of evolution which is bringing
them nearer to Rome and to an ornate ceremonial.
The Presbyterian church. having altered its
creed by expurging the infant damnation clause
and altering that on predestination has now intro
duced liturgy closely approaching that of the
Protestant Episcopal church whose liturgy is tax
from the Roman Catholic church Three years
ago the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church appointed a committee to prepare a Book
of Common Worship This book now on our desk
draws literally from Catholic liturgical sources,
and therefore bears close resemblance to the Book
of Common Prayer of the Episcopal church. 1t is
noticeable that all these changes are of character
which make for imitation of the ceremonial of
the Catholic worship. For more than three hun
dred years the Presbyterian church has been the
most uncompromising and the most ruthless enemy
of Rome 1t has also been the ablest and most dan
gerous and, from human outlook, was and is des-
tined to outlive all modern hereses among the Eng
disappearing races. And now this implacable foe
of Rome acknowledges before God and man that
their forefathers made deplorabe mistake and
went too far in the fanaticism of their opposition
to the Catholic church.
