was brought to Cheyenne for burial.
DIR. Barber was one of the best
known physicians of the Rocky noun

ticularly in reference to rattlesnake
venom were accepted by the profess
sion generally. He was war cover
nor of Wyoming, during the famous
range war of 1892, known as sthe cat
tlemen's invasion" His course of ac-
ton In that crisis is accepted as hay
ing prevented a bloody civil war.
He was born at Doylestown, Pa.
April 26, 1861, and came to wyoming
In 1885 when twenty-four as chief sur
geon OF the military hospital at Fort
feterman.' He accompanied the Cen
eral roc expedition against the Ari-
iona Indians.
He acquired a high reputation as a
physician and surgeon among the iso-
lated settlers of the thinly populated
territory and came to be regarded as
an authority on rattlesnake bites,
originating the system of treatment
with permanganate of potassium,
which came into general use.
He also became an authority on
gunshot wounds.
In 8 8 DR.. Barber resigned his COM
mission to become chief z of
the hospital of the Wyoming Live
Stock Association. During the ensu-
ing few years he earned the friend

characters. His narrative, related to
Owen Wister, became the basis for

When Wyoming was admitted to
statehood in 1890 he was nominated
as Republican candidate for secretary

The invasion of central and north
ern Wyoming by an armed band of
large cattle owners, accompanied by
Texas mercenaries, with the avowed
intention of exterminating settlers
suspected of rustling, made it neces-
sary for him to call on the federal
government to suppress an insurrec-
ton. Federal troops arrived on the
scene in Johnson county in the nick
of time to prevent a slaughter, the
invading party being under siege.
At the beginning of the Spanish

"a packers of grapefruit which were

Company of Naranja, Florida.
The goods are in possession of two

The crage is made that the ship

district, have colored the fruit in a
unique manner in order to conceal
its inferiority and unripeness.
MIR. Bruce said that the coloring
was done so that theu nripened con-

that the real state of the fruit was
thus hidden until it was cut open by
an unsuspecting purchaser.
The action was taken by Mr..
Bruce upon the complaint of the in

Florida And California
Citrus Growers Warned

Washington, Nov. 2-The United
States department of agriculture has
Just issued a warning order to citrus
fruit growers in Florida and Cali
fornia against the further transpor-
tation in interstate commerce of
fruit which does not meet the re-
quirements of the federal laws. After
reviewing former decisionson the
subject the department says;
The department, with the infor-
nation available as the result of it's
Investigations, regards the tests as
defined for determining the imma-
turity of California oranges and for
determining the immaturity of
grapefruit and Florida oranges as
being fair. accurate and reasonable
tests.
Oranges and grapefruit, in COM
mon with other articles Of food in
the opinion of the department, are
adulterated if they are mixed, coat
ed, colored, powdered or stained in
manner whereby damage or infer
iority is concealed. The only an
nonncement of the department af-
fecting the shipment of immature
citrus fruits with which growers
and shoppersare at present concern
ed is that given in food inspection
decision 1873. In that decision the
view was stated that green. imma-
tire oranges which have artifically
colored by holding in warm, moist
atmosphere for short period of time
after removal from the tree are col
ored in manner whereby inferiority
Is concealed and are therefore
adulterated. In the opinion of the
department, grapefruit which have
been similarly trated also are
adulterated. The federal food and
drugs act prohibits the shipment in
interstate commerce of such oranges
and grapefruit.
The department. therefore, gives
warning that the transportation and
sale in interstate commerce of or
anges or grapefruit which have been
artifically colored by sweating or
otherwise so as to conceal damage or
inferiority will be regarded as in
violation of the federal food and
drugs act and proceedings under that
act will he instituted in all cases
where sufficient evidence is obtained ,
to justify such action"
