Don't Bite Yourself.

That little old Alcon boy, what runs the Rawlins Rep, is terrible
sorry about the capers of this here newspaper, called the Sun. Now
that little fellow, he is getting most as bad a stomach a his esteemed
contemporary. Course he probably didn't write that "War o Wind"
because if he could write that well he would try and edit his paper.
J lust now be is all fused up over what Jim Kite said about "you
can't fill badger holes with a hammer" Well, you know Jim Kite
ulster live in Rawlins, but now lives in Denver, and when he as up
Rawlns feHers that's yelling about our badger holes up this way. ="
Well, we supposed that Kite was joking or least-wise, that is how
we'uns took him-in fact that was the first we had heard about the
kick on the badger, 80 we up and quotes him, and Lord bless you we
had forgotten all about it, when here comes this boy Alcon of the
Republican, stating as how we was having hammeritis, etc.
1t seems that little Alcon can't get over a slime er two when
the Sun had good and sufficient occasion to call for this here "reci
procity" in county affairs, and then, too, you know, this beastly old
paper, called the Saratoga Sun, had the gall, mind you, the GALL,
(get us) to ask for som of the county printing. uni ha! Yes SIR
eh! That we did, and Alcon's heart it stopped, it did, for fear he
was not going to get it, cause he knew that without it, he Just natur
ally can't run that Republican, as it has been feeding on the county
for nigh on to thirty years. But the gall of the Sun asking for it'll!
Well, then, too, a lot of the citizens of this valley sort of set up and
honered a trihe about the reciprocity used in the last primary cleo
ton, by the Republican party, and now little Alcon is atrying to
ting ready for next election, but right in the same article he kinder
hints that Saratoga is on her last legs for her last race, SO far a he
is concerned, and then smooths it off by intimating that the Repub-
ican has just been abreaking its neck trying ter get the good citizens
of Rawlins to attend the County Fair over here and other fesives.
Some how or other we don't blame him altogether, cause you
know its intimated that he isn't the real boss of his own paper, whe-
Their it is lack of ability or other things we don't know, but he must
have all of his ability left, cause he amt never showed any yt
Course now, we don't suppose he should be to blame for that "War
or Wind" but so long as it was not credited to Communication"
"sgned" or quoted" he must claim it body and sole" and so long
as he don't like what Jim Kite said, we don't reckon Jim cares, and
we are here to inform him so far a s W care he can go to h with

Safety First"

Since the big fire in Chicago that city has had three orfour cal
antilles fall to it's lot and as the years go by they become more horri-
flying. The last one. the turning turtle of the Easuand, has probab-
ly drowned something in the neighborhood of 1000 people. With all
of the modern lve-saving devices and precaution of safety first"
along all classes of transportation, yet they do not diminish in horror
nor loss of life, n at least that is the way it seems in such cases as
the Eastland. When Chicago does have a calamity of this nature it
shocks the whole world and is not soon forgotten. In this case, as
in the Iroquois theatre disaster, it seems like it could have been di-
verted. Pre-destination may hold the fort against all safety devices;
who knows.

"A LoDe Suit Puzzle
Frank A. Carver Was Seen
Twelve Times with Women
His Wife Asserts.

DETROIT, Mich, Mar. 20.-I do
not think that, becausesa married man
is seen twelve times with a woman
after he has separate dfrom his wife
she has alienated his, affections. Al
most every married man would have
his wife's aKettions alienated if that
were sufficient cause.
This was the view taken by Attor-
ney Percy Grose in arguing before
Judge Hally for the dismissal Of Mrs.
Frank E. Carvel.'s suit against Mrs.
Ida .Shaft5 to recover damages on the
ground that Mrs; Shaft had stolen
Carver's affections. u. s
Judge Denies Motions.
Judge Hally denied the motion and
also refused to grant motion that
a verdict in favor of the defendant be
directed in the matter of the court al
leginS improprieties. His honor said
the Jury must pass on that. question.
Mrs. Gross insisted that the friend
shin between Carver and Mrs. Shaft
had been formed after the separation
of the Carvers, so that it could have
had nothing to do with their trouble.
IF two people are seen together
for a period of days on an average
Of four times a week, and those two
are a man and a woman, who is re-
sponsible for their being together?''
Judge Hally asked him.
1.-THE testimony shows that they
were together but twelve tines
Crosse announced Because man
and woman are seen together twelve
times, the inference must not be
drawn that the woman did anything
TO entIcc5 the man away from his wife.
There must be some thing to show that
she did outside Of. the mere! fact OF
their being together
