Newspaper Reports of Shooting at French.

In the matter of the shooting of Charles Sanger of French by
William Cole of the same place, two week ago today, there we're any
number of versions sent out and published in most of the Wyoming
papers and in the Denver papers. Some of them were 81 wide of the
real affair that only the names of the parties were familiar to those
who knew about the shooting.
Now comes the Denver Post under the date of January 18th,
containing a n interview with Ira B. Casteel, telling how the affair
occurred. We don't believe that Mr.. Casteel gave out the fact that
no paper in the country had the details of the CoeSanger shooting
afray," land no paper with the exception of the Post he'd a correct
story" AS that is the way Mr.. Casteel is quoted in the interview.
In the first place, the story as printed in the Denver Post was
about a far from being the truth as possible to get. In the second
place the interview that Mr.. Casteel is quoted as giving out does not
bear a very clear conception of the affair. In the interview the same
error is made as the SUN made in stating that Sanger went to the
house. Neither did Cole chase Sanger sup and down the creek"
We have talked to Isaac Sanger, father of Chas Sanger, and one
or two others who ought to be able to tell the story about as ii occurred
and W e ind that in one or two minor items, the Sun made and error
giving the affair, but outside of that we were and are much nearer the
truth rs it occurred than the Post is in this interview with Mr. Casteel
If MIR. Casteel has any different version of the affair than the Sun
printed we would be pleased to have him correct our article, and will
give him space to do it with.
We made no mention last week of the finding of the coroner,s
jury, at Encampment, but the fact of the matter is that the verdict
was suicide and Cole was buried in Encampment. Mr.. Sanger is all
right, and the entire matter is settled in so far as we are concerned

Forty Days and Nights a Plenty.

1t is more than evident at this time that the Kendrick measure
for a go days session of the Wyoming legislature got its just dues at
the polls last November. The legislature convened on the 18th of
this month and this is the 2lst, and about all that has been done 10
date is the taking in the dedication of the Agricultural Hall at Lara
ME, the Shrine at Rawlins and the Stock show at Denver. Yes, we
need so days, but we need it taken of instead of being put on. The
last week they will break their necks, trying to do ten days work and
the result will be the remarkable number of good bills killed and the
fool ones that are passed. They pass the expense bill at the first of
the session so that they will be sure to get their pay, whether they
work or play. And to think that Kendrick wanted 60 days of that
