the railroads Of the country to handle
trains in which there are ten or more cars
Of live stock at an average speed Of not
less than sixteen miles per- hour. The
Wyoming and other association Of wool
growers nave frequently gone on record as
f~avoring the proposed law, although at the

quest OF william Daley, n resolution en-
dorsing the movement was stricken from
the draft. It Is understood that William

At the police station explanations are made, the sheriff arrives with the key to the cuffs and the ceremony is performed without further delay. A lively and Imaginable comedy subject and a sure winner.

An old fisherman and his son, set out on fishing trip in spite of an approaching storm. A squall upsets the tiny craft and the boy is washed beyond his fathers reach. disappearing in the thick mist of rain.
