CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Feb. ga
(Special)-Wyoming water for Wyo-
ming people. That's the policy of
the present State Administration,
and. 1t now appears, it's to be the
policy of the National Administration
as well. The result is likely to be the
reclamation and development Of
many thousands of Wyoming acres
now known as dry" but capable Of
springing into vast wonderlands
through the magic touch of irriga-
ton.
After seeing water stored in the
Pathfinder reservoir for the use Of
Nebraska people. and the magnifi-
cent Jackson Lake virtually ruined in
order that Idaho people might bene-
fit land various other projects put
through for the benefit OF Colorado
and other neighboring states. the
people of Wyoming are about to see
the time when one of their most
valuable will be preserved
for them-the rightful owners.
The announcement the other day
that the Interior Department had ap-
proved of the Sierra Madre Carey
Act irrigation project in the Upper
Platte Valley near Saratoga, after
more than a decade of heart-break-
ing delay, meant that State officials
and Wyoming Congressional leaders
have finally convinced fedora; orfic-

OFFICERS RAID MANS HOME

On Tuesday last Sheriff Sanders
and deputies raided the home of a
mar going under the name Of Dollie
Gray and captured a still and con-
siderable quantity Of mash as we'll as
a small quantity of moonshine.
This man has been around Walcott
for several months past and the Of
ficers were confident that he was
making moonshine although they
were unable to catch him doing so.
When he moved to this city about a
month ago the officers placed a close
watch on him and on Tuesday last
when they saw considerable smoke
coming out OF the chimney OF his
home they secured a search warrant
and entered the house.
The officers found a complete still.
five barrels Of mash and a small
quantity Of m~oonshine. although they
failed to capture the man.
Officers along the Union Pacific
were notified to be on the watch for
Gray with the result that Deputy
Sheriff Cooper picked him up at
Medicine Bow yesterday. AS Deputy
Sheriff Cooper was getting ready to
start for No. 3 with his prisoner the
man made a break for liberty making
his escape good. Sheriff Sanders has
failed to learn whether the man has
been r~ecaptured as yet or not.

OTHERS IN


AS will be noticed from the follow
ing clipping taken from the Casper
Tribune of February 18th shows that
the people Of this section are not the
only ones interested in the construc-
ton Of a railroad from this city to
Craig, Colorado:
The possible solution OF the long
advocated railroad line between the
Union Pacific and Sheridan in north
ern Wyoming with Casper. the prin-
cipal intermediate, may have been
found by the Sheridan Chamber OF
Commerce. according to the terms OF
a letter received by the Casper
Chamber Of Commerce this week.
The solution OF the problem lies ir
the assumption that the Moffat road
in Colorado cannot long operate
under present conditions and that II
must find a new outlet If it is to be
a commercial success.
Under the plan advocated Sheridan
proposes to have the Moffat road e
tended from its present terminus at
Craig, Colorado. to Rawlins, Wyo.,
and thence to Casper and Sheridan.
This would open up a valuable sec
ton tributary to the railroad and in
time no doubt would make it a COM
merc1al possibility.
This extension Of the line would
relieve the necessity of an extension
to Salt Lake City, which would prove
too costly a road to construct.
In connection with the proposal in
which the Sheridan club seeks the
support of Casper, Sheridan has the
following to say:
I'm our section the road would
have connections with an agricul-
tural empire and direct connection
with the richest agricultural district
Of Wyoming. This would enable the
northern district to furnish Casper
and surrounding territory with pro-
duce OF all kinds and cattle for the
packing plant at a much lower rate
than prevails at present.
"Such a lirc would also give Cas-
per direct connection with the sum-
mer resorts OF the Big Horn National
forest which stands next to Yellow
stone Park in beauty. scenic wonders
and trout fishing"
The matter has not yet been placed
before the board of directors of the
local organization but 1t is probable
they will give the matter their ut
most support II the proposition is
feasible.

BRUTE ATTACKS
IS YEAR OLD GIRL

Saturday evening last while going
home from the picture show, Evelyn
Startzell, the 1~3-year-old daughter of
MI. and Mrs. l.. H. Startzell heard .
man running towards her. She i'm
mediately started to run towards her
home and before the man caught her
she was within 20 feet OF home
AS the man caught up with the girl
he grabbed her and as she screamed
he knocked her to the ground. The
girl continued to scream and as the
man saw a light flash in the Startzell
home he turned and ran away. l.. H.
Startzell, who had heard his daughter
scream, opened the door of his home
just as the man turned the corner.
By the time he had gotten his daugh-
ter into the house the man had made
his escape.
Mr.. Btartzsil Immediately notified
the Officers Of the attempted attack
ct the bruta and he also personally
atatted Z search for the man. Taking
Nm daughter with him Mr. StArtzeli
made o search OF every place in the
'elty whore the man might be. The
little girl was able. to give . very
accurate description OF the man SO 1t
was hoped that they would be able
TO locate him without trouble. How
ever, . careful search failed to locate
the man.
Both county and city officers are
ON tho watch for the N who at
tempted to attack this girl and II he
u caught he Will undoubtedly receive
the maximum the law can give him.

get together and consider the matter
from every angle.
1t is hoped that a conference may
result in the formation of. some prac-
tical plan whereby this railroad can
be assured.
Those who have already signihed
their intention Of attending this con
ference at Craig from this city are:
F. w. Rendle, president Board OF

Must Get Its Share.

This proposal has been pressed
vigorously for the past three years.
Governor Robert d. Carey and the
State Land Office urging Federal
action. and the final victory followed
the Governors recent visit to the
national capital.
After a hard fight we have been
able to convince the Reclamation
Service hat Wyoming is entitled to
its share of the water from the
North Platte River. and further that
the Pathfinder dam was not entitled
to all the water in hat river. and
now the Sierra Madre scheme has
e e approved by the Federal Land
office.
arthur P. Davis, director OF the
United States Reclamation Service,
assured me when I called upon him
at Washington that this State will
get its share Of the Pathfinder water,
and l feel certain hal other storage
will be developed to take care Of the
Nebraska interests. Nothing will do
more to continue the prosperity and
growth of central Wyoming than the
development Of large acreages of
lands which can be irrigated along
h North Platte"

INJUNCTIONS
JUDGE TlDBALL ON H0KDAY LAST
ORDERED the CLOSING Of Two
PLACES nof ffal0D OF

Monday afternoon last the hear:
ing Of evidence in the Abatement
Proceedings brought recently by
County Attorney Revelle McMicken
Against seven places in the city of
Rawlins was begun.
The object of the complaints and
applications for injunction filed by
the county attorney was to close those
places In which convictions had been
secured showing that gambling or
Bookkeeping had been carried ON.
The first case to be heard by
Judge Tidhall was against the place
conducted by Frank and Jack Hara-
gan on Front street. After hearing
all the evidence Judge Tfdball order
cd this place to be closed for one year

Court.
The second case to be heard was
against the Antler9 The Judge also
ordered this place closed for one
year unless opened sooner by order
OF tho court.
Eyfaanee was introdpcsdg by both
b estats and the delenIe In .Aeaapl
pfications for Injunction against
Minnie Herbert's place and against
Christina Harper's place ON the
South Side. The defense introduced
Evidence showing that both these
places had been sold prior to the
filing Of the applications for injunc-
tion on January 21st.
After taking both these cases under
consideration for some time on Tues
day Judge Tidball dismissed both on
the grounds that the present owners
had not been made parties to the
suit.
The application for injunction,
against p. J. johnson and John Eng
strom was settled in court Tuesday,
Afternoon when the owner Of the
building. Mr.. johnson. stated to the.
Judge that the lease of the former
proprietor had expired and would
not be renewed and that 1 new les,
see in . different line OF Business
would open mp there In q few days.
Judge Tidball did not close this
place because the intention Of the

results that MI. Johnson has bsought
about himself; that IL. the use Of the
building for some useful business.
The application for Injunction
against the place occunied BY Timothy
