former manager, Mr.. Locke, to re-
V the sum of $500 locked
from his salary for alleged neglect
Of business. Cody testified that
Locke had Offered him $1,000 for
three weeks engagement in the
country, and instead of this he had
received only $500. Locke claim
ed that he had locked Bits sal
airy for intoxication on the stage,
but the defense was not allowed
to show this. They then set up
that the engagement was made by
the firm of Titus and Locke, the
atrical managers, and that the sui.
should have been brought against
the firm and not against a single
member. Judge Taylor, for the
prosecution, here remarked that he

Congressman Winter Urges Conference with Rail Builder
Believes Committee Could Iron Out All
Differences and Secure Railroad for
Casper; Offers to Aid adjustment

Charles E. Winter, congressman from Wyoming, who is
visiting his home in Casper for "a few days, and whose view
point on the North & South railroad coming to Casper is
more or less that of an unprecedented outsider because of his
having been in Washington since the matter has been under
discussion, believes that the breach between Casper and Gov
ernor Haskell could be healed by a conference
Congressman Winter offers a constructive suggestion in
proposing that a committee from here meet with the COVER
ings that may exist. Mr.. Winter offers his time and services
as a member of that committee, his personal expenses to be
borne by himself in the best interests of settling the difficulty.
Mr.. Winters statement in regard to the matter is as fol-
lows:
Replying to your request for an expression on the mat
ter, l regret to find an apparent dead center preventing a re
sumption of negotiations and the turning of the wheels In the
matter of the North & South railroad.
ut seems to me there must be a solution of the difficulty.
1t is obvious that the proposition should be treated from the
basis of economics Invested of all feeling, prejudice, resent
ment or enmity. These must all be laid aside and business
principles applied. Eliminate everything that has occurred
and get back to the status which prevailed when the railroad
proposition was first presented to Casper at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting. There was no divided opinion then as
to the desirability of the railroad for Casper or the value of
Casper to the railroad and the only question was what Casper
should and would do to assist in the project.
Why not proceed now from that basis? Arguments
have been presented and discussions have exhausted the
subjects of past differences. Feelings eliminated as they
should be, Casper can reasonably expect, as it expected, to
in the project in proportion to what has been done
by other towns, notably Miles City and Sheridan. But now
ever that may be, it seems to me obvious that letters, tele-
grams, arguments, editorials, ETC., are not now prohtable.
All that needs to be done is to resume negotiations on a bust
ness basis. The only effective way to arrive at an agreement
is for the parties to sit around a conference table. 1t is en-
tirely immaterial where such conference is held, whether 1t
be at Casper, Chicago or New York. | understand that Mr..
Haskell is willing to confer. There is no reason why we
should not confer; there is every reason, why we snoulu U
the end that there shall at least be understanding and not
Misunderstanding l am willing to be one OF a representative
committee to visit Mr.. Haskell in New York at once and meet
with him in a conference
