Meldrum
Jumps Bond

Bob" Medium, the notorious
gun-fghter, has apparently jump
ed his bond, as his trial was set
for Monday morning, and when it
came to hearing he was not in the
court room A search of the town
OF hawlins, where court 10 in ses-
sion, failed to produce any Mel
drum or any evidence of where he
could be found. This would have
been the third trial of Medium
for the killing of Chick Bowen on
Snake river about four years ago.
His first trial ended in a disagree
ment, the second trial in a verdict
of second degree murder. 1t was
on this conviction that the case
was taken to the supreme court,
where the verdict was overruled
and remanded back to the district
court for trial, and pending this
case Medium was released under
$4,000 bonds until the new trial
could be heard.
The bondsmen were given until
this morning to produce the body
of Medium in the district court
by the presiding judge, or forfeit
their bond. There is much dis
cussion of the case-some think
that Medium has made a mistake
in his dates, thinking that per-
haps the date of the 18th for the
appearance of the witnesses was
the time for him also to appear.
His supporters maintain that he
will show up for trial, while many
others are of the opinion he has
gone to Mexico or South America.
1t ia even intimsted at this time
that he was the probable hold-up
of the U. P. train last week, but
this is likely to be more rumor
than fact. At any rate Wyoming,
and Carbon county in particular,
has not lost much should Mel
drum shake the soil from his feet
and decide to stay away from
these parts in future. AS we re-
member it this is the seventeenth
man he has killed, and, owing to
the general feeling that prevails,
he will undoubtedly live longer in
other climates than in Carbon
county. Too, the bond would
leave the county better off than if
he stood trial.
A bench warrant is out and ev-
cry Pinkerton in the U. s. has
been notified to get him if pos
sible.

Good Lecturer.

A splendid lecture was deliver
ed here Monday evening by Col.
w ii. Miller, being the third of
the Lyceum cours Of this winter.
MIR, Miller is a community worker
aud lecturer and his discourse
Monday should have been heard
by every business man, and every
lather and mother in Saratoga,
1t is indeed a failing of some
people to never want to find out
anything new, or gain any real
lasting benefit. The people inter-
eSted in a good town, a good COM
munity, and advancement, seem
to be very few in comparison with
the number who are of the sort OF
don't give a damn" type.
1t Is a sad failing that any one
should miss an evening of real
humor, full of hope and encour-
agement, and above all practica|
advice, for the betterment of bus
lhess, social and for all manner OF
mankind in a town.
MIR. Miller is a very good talkel
aud delivers his ideas in a humor-

to hear the various inquiries cen
corning the service. Hundreds OF
people stop and ask questions and
many eligibles hurry on when they
are invited to enlist. The main OBJ
lection urged to enlisting here is
that young men don't care 10 de-
vote three years of their time to
army life. Ii assured that the I. N.

trouble with Mexico is over they
would be willing to enlist. This as

it is generally supposed that when
peace is assured the National Guards
will be the first companies muster
ed out.
There is an attraction about army
life that appeals to the young man,
and many of the older ones find it
difficult to remain at home.
