MAYOR OF COKEvILLE
HAS MARROW ESCAPE

Mayor Joe Fuller of CokeviIle
narrowly missed death last Sunday
night when his automobile fell over
a bridge near Cokeville and crashed
into the space below, doing much
damage to the car and breaking two
of the mayors ribs.
The accident was caused by the in
effectiveness OF Mayor Fuller's lights
which went out when approaching
the town. A large touring car was
running ahead of him, and he at
tempted to follow it into town. AS
he approached the bridge he miscal-
|culated the distance and the car was
hurled TO the bed of the stream.

Tho most disastrous fire which has
occurred in Lincoln county for some
time occurred at Thayne, Wyo.. FRI
day morning at about o'clock when
the prosperous mercantile business
of Aaron Heap and Frank Thatcher
was completely wiped out
Nothing is known OF the origin of
tho fire, unless the cause advanced
by Mr.. Heap is correct. which is that
someone threw a cigarat in the stove
which had the accumulation OF waste
from last winter in it. There is no
way Of determining whether or not
this was the cause. but in all Iikeli-
hood this reason for the fire is cor

and while Sarah and the children
built fire and made tea and biscuits,
he was getting bait and catching fish
In the stream.
"In a few minutes from the time
wet my hook a mess Of trout would be
dressed and sizzling, with a piece OF
salt pork, in the pan, or 1t was q bad
day for fishing" he writes.
After supper the wagon was partly
unloaded,. the feather bed laid upon
the planks under the wagon roof and
spread with blankets. Then Samson
sang songs and told stories or played
upon the violin to amuse the family.
Often If the others were weary and
depressed he would dance merrIly
around the fire, playing a lively tune,
with Sambo glad to lend a helping
foot and much noise to the program.
By and by the violin was put away
and all knelt by the fire while Sarah
prayed aloud for protection through
the night So it will be seen that
they carried with them their own
little theater, church and hotel.
Soon after darkness fell, Sarah
and the children lay down for the
night, while Samson stretched out
with his blanket by the fire In good
weather, the loaded musket and the
dog Sambo lying beside him. Often
the bowling of wolves In the distant
forest kept them awake, and the dog
muttering and barking for hours.
Samson woke the camp at daylight
and a merry song was his reveille
while he led the horses to their drink.
When they set out In the morning
Samson was wont to say to the little
lad. who generally sat beside him
well, my boy, what's the good word
this morningT Whereupon Joe would
say, parrot like:
"God help us all and make His
