Cut His Knee Open.

Little Russell Hunter was rum

along in front of the residence OF
W. @. Edwards he tripped on a
board and fell and slid and caught
his knee on a nail projecting out
of the walk and cut his knee open
in a pretty bad manner. He was
taken to DR.. Prices Office and the
wound was drawn together with
surgens tape and dressed. He is
suffering a good deal with it and
the leg has to be kept in a ridged
position to prevent breaking the
wound open before it heals. He
was very gritty when the doctor
dressed it and is getting along as
we'll as could be expected. This
is another instonce where the
sidewalks need attention. There

of places where the nails should

LEGISLATURE BLOWS UP.
Two psssrtsrs In The Party Went Over I,
the Enemy and the Democrats
Organise the House.

Pratt of Park county ard Man.
ION of Sweetwater county, repre-
b~entatives in the House turned
Bull Moose Democratic and leave
he Republicans in the minority.
fhis gave the Democrats a chance
10 organize the House and Pratt
was rewarded by being made the
speaker Of the body.
Schenck and Bob Carey did the
heat little trick in some unexplaiD-
sble manner. There seems to be
ho reason for the action taken by
these two men and they will GER
&ainly have to account to their
constituents when they get home,
{ they yer do. The reason we
bay they may not get home is
based on the conclusion that they
will be awarded by the Bull Moose
combine by some nice little Office
DO that it will not be necessary to
DO back. and face their people. OF
course there isl great deal of feel
ng at Cheyenne that these men
we're in some manner bought over,
Ind if they were the truth had
better pever come out.
The Senate was organized by
khe Republicans and that body is
bafe, but with the House divided
against itself there is little telling
ust what the outcome will be in
the matter Of a selection of a Uni
led States Senator. Warren was
clearly the choice of the people at
|the last election and the compen-
BATON for the deserters must have
been n high figure to cause them
Ito turn traitor to the people who
elected them.
This is another case where there
ought to be a direct election of
Senators. =.

continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-

that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear.
