Robs Granger Saloon

Green River, Wyo., (Special)-
That a daring holdup and attempt
to murder occurred at Granger, 30
miles west of this place, several
days ago, has become known thru
the efforts of the sheriff to locate
the outlaw.
at o'clock in the morning
when George Campbell was the
only person in the place, an undis-
guised bandit entered the saloon
of Joe Bagley and pointed a revolt
e at Campbell. Campbell at
tempted to spring on the robber
and the latter fired almost point
blank, the bullet blowing through
Campbell's scalp and rendering
him unconscious. The robber
then ransacked the place, secured
$500 in money and escaped. Not
the slightest trace of him has
since been found.

What Navigation Means in the

Wireless signals reaching out

did the steamer Republic summon
a half Dozen vessels to her aid by
means of the invention of the
wizard Marconi, but La Florida,

NEWS FROM THE
LEGISLATURE
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Cheyenne, Jan. 25.-Failing to Sc
cure the support of the Laramie
county delegation, the ehirteen votes
of which are very much to be desired,
it is understood the anti divisionists
are arranging to have the people of
northern Laramie county call IA mass
meeting at Wheatland in "A day or
two for the purpose of forming "a
sentiment demanding u division of
Laramie county. This would tend
to force the balance of the Laramie
delegation into line as against any
county division measure this year,
which is what the Basin people are
working for. Prominent factors on
the outside, working on division mat
tiers, who have arrived in the last few
days, are: Arson Highly, Josiah Cook
and w. S. Collins OF Basin, and Ex-
Gov. Richards of Red Bank, who are
opposed to any division; this force
will be augmented in a day or SO by
Editor Lantry Of the Meeteetse
News. Hot Springs county is repre-
scented on the outside by j. F. Kin
ney of Thermopolis, whose previous
experience in the Legislature makes
him well acquainted and Ira E. Jones
of Thermopolis is due today. Cody
is represented by Geo. L. Beck, >. Z.

Bad Wreck at Dana Kills 3 and
Injuries 30-Caused From
Signal Blowing Down.

Tuesday evening at Dana on
the Union Pacific M. D, the fast
Portland train, went in the ditch
with uine cars over. The cause
was from the Jap section gang
who were putting in a rail on a
sharp curve just this side of that
station, according to reports from
there. The section gang it seems
bad put up a red flag and then
went down to put N the rail. As
there was a heavy wind blowing at
the time, the flag was blown down
and the on-coming passenger train
had no warning of the danger. 1t
came around the curve at full
speed and struck the open track
and the engine aud niue cars went
in the ditch. killing three out
right and injuring 30, some of
them seriously. A relief train of
nurses and doctors went from
Rawlins and gave all the aid pos.
sible TO the injured, taking the
worst injured back TO Rawlins and
the others were sent to Cheyenne
for care. One of the injured died
at Walcott on the way to Rawlins.
1t is reported that some Of the
Japs took to the hills after the
accident and haven't been located
yet. This will undoubtedly cost
the U. P. considerable in the way
of damages. A good many went
from Walcott on the Rawlins re-
lief train to the scene of the wreck
and helped care for the injured
and clear away the wreckage. All
of the injured and killed we're
mostly people on their way to
Portland and we're not known

From a very careful size-up of the
county division situation, ] am com
PEELED to my original prophecy, made
IN my first letters on this subject.
Park county may be created in spite
OF the opposition confronting it, and
believe it will be. Hot Springs
county cannot be created at this SEES
SION without Cody's assistance. Hence,
If the people behind Hot Springs
county do not make some sort of an
agreement with the people behind
fark county, the city by the big
spring may have to wait many more
years before it sees itself a county
seat. Strong outside efforts are be.
ing made 10 bring the W. together,
SO Cody can go ahead and organize
aud Hot Springs follow soon after,
and it is to he hoped this will be
done
1t is rumored tonight that tomor-
row will see two other county divis-
ION bills introduced-one dividing
Laramie county and the other Uinta.
his is a move contemplated by the
anti divisionists, and may not go
through.
There will be no difficulty in every
member having a liquor bill to his
liking, from appearances, as there
are nearly a dozen of various sizes al
ready on file in the two houses. The
two local option Observation-Disclosures
have already been mentioned. Then
DR.. Price introduced one to prohibit
the use of booze to influence the vot-
er Then Brooks "a prohibit
ed the sale OF liquor outside of incor-
porated towns without the consent of
"a majority of the residents within a
six-mile radiu. Wallop went that one
better by prohibiting the sale of
liquor absolutely outside of incurpor
ated towns. Last, to date, is Mr..
Bolln's bill to double the county re-.
tail aud wholesale license, the latter
being raised from $500 to 5000. The
BolIn bill also contains "a strong anti
gambling clause, and requires all ap
plications for retail liquor licenses to
publish his petition in the newspaper
having the largest circulation in the
district where he proposes to estab-
lish the saloon, and complaint or OPP
position by a certain number of citi-
zeus shall be sufficient for the county
commissioners to decline to issue the
license. These matters, however,
will be held pending the county divi
sion scrap.

OenVer hepuDllcan and give 1t to
our readers as 1t IS published.
This of course would be of great
advantage to this valley and every
one would welcome it:
"The Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad company is planning to
invade the Routt county coal fields
of Colorado, and is surveying for
a route from Casper, its present
western terminus, to Walcott,
Wyo., where it will connect with
the Saratoga d Encampment rail
road the 44-mile line recently CON-
pleted by the Penn Wyoming
Copper company, operating at En-
campment. This statement is
made by several OF a trainload of
Steamboat Springs residents
brought in to Denver by the
Moffat roads first regular train
from Routt couuty's metropolis.
The Saratoga d Encampment
company has let a contract for an
other % miles of track, which will
take it to Whiskey park, Wyo.,
near the Colorado line, and anoth-
or 40 miles will land its trains in
| Stnn,,kont S,r,
1t is quietly whispered in rail
road circles that the Chicago q
Northwestern, which is a Wander
bilt line with 5000 miles of track
and one of the most gigantic con
Germs in the railroad world, has al
ready gobbled the Saratoga & En-.
campment. and is really doing all
the present work under the latter's
alias. Be that rs it may, the Chi
cago q Northwestern has long
been known as the one big system
devoid of coal.
For 1.200 miles from Chicago to
Casper the Northwestern is practi-
cally without coal. When its pres
ident was hailed before the inter-
state commerce commission two
years ago for operating a railroad
that owned it's own coal mines,
he explained that the population
along his line WAS such a class
financially that it was unable to
pay exorbitant prices for coal.
Furthermore it is up grade if
anything over the 1000 miles that
the inferior Illinois coal has to be
hauled from east of Mississippi to
Wyoming. The newly proposed
inlet to the Routt county fields
gives an easy down grade, with a
paxium gradient of 2 per cent for
hauling the finest coal in the
world, in three classes, anthracite,
bituminous and Ignite.
The new move of the North
western is the outcome of a visit
by the company's most trusted
consulting engineer, who made an
exhaustive examination of the
Routt county coal fields last Aug
ust. He found not only coal of
excellent quality, the finest in the
world in fact, and in large quanti-
ties, but an easily negotiable
grade, and it was on the strength
of his report that the Northwes-
tern decided to build into Color

as he knows there has been nc
contracts let for any more road at
all from Encampment or any
where else along the line. and as
far as a road over the Divide from
Encampment to Steamboat
Springs is concerned hat in some
places the grade would be 6 per
cent or r. worse and he does
not seem to think that a road
could be built that way on the ac-
count of the fact thet it wouldn't
be a serviceable freight road. He

A.Brief Chapter on Birds
What It Is That Gives Them the Power of Flight.

The human mind is often sneered at
because it is unable to invent prac-
tical flying machine, while our tiny
everyday neighbors, the birds, float
high above our heads at will and
leave us cropping on the ground. Do
you know why bird flies and we
cannot? Did you think it had some
thing to do with his wings? A bird
flies with his wings, to be sure, and
could not fly without them. but it is
not the wings that enable him to stay
suspended in the air. When man
is in swimming, he can not move in
the water without his arms and legs,
but it is not his limbs that keep him
above water, but the air in his body.
1t is the same with the birds in
flying. The birds breathe so quickly
and rapidly, and take in such great
quantities of air at each breath, that
they are so full of it that they are en-
ab]ed to fly through space just as their
fancy pleases. Michelet, the bird
lover, says when speaking of it: "But
this faculty, this rapid inhalation or
expulsion of alr-whence does it pro-
coed? From an unique, unheard-of
power of respiration. The man who
should inhale similar quantity of
air at one breath would be suffocated.
The birds elastic and powerful lung
quaffs it, grows full of it, grows intox-
icaced with vigor and delight, and
pours it abundantly into its aerial
cells. Each respiration is renewed,
second after second, with tremendous
rapidity. The blood, ceaselessly
vivified with fresh air, supplies each

The bird is probably the happies
thing that lives. This tremendous
energy and vigor produced by its
breathing makes it ceaselessly active
and happy. The bird has been called
concentrated vitality and it's life
likened to flame. Some birds, small
as our hand almost, can fly two
hundred and forty miles an hour-o1
three times faster than our fastest
railway trains, and even faster than
the hurricane. The tiny humming
bird has truly tremendous muscular
power. Every one has noticed the
vibrations of its wings, but few of us
understand how marvellous it is, or
the energy those ceaseless vibrations
require. Some times this over-plus
vitality of the birds lead them to
violent contests with their fellow
birds, and they are absolutely reck-
less and without fear. The little king
bird will boldly attack and persistent.

part Of the plant which contains the
most nutrition; or fruits, the bes
product of the plant next to the seed
or insects, which, next to themself
contain the fercest heat of life. Those
birds; like vultures, that feed upor
flesh, seem to have no limit to the
amount of nutrition they can take
into their bodies and digest.

Second district representative will

but at the same time he will insist on

duty on wheat, but holds that shorts

as feed for cattle and thus go back to
the enrichment of the soil. The
farmers, he contends, should not be
made to pay duty on feed for their
cattle.
