Earnest Johns, who a week ago
Sunday had three arteries in his leg
served when he was cut by Jerry
Hume. had the leg amputated Just
below the knee on Monday after
noon. 1t was believed at first that
the leg was healing up all right
and that Earnest would suffer no i'll
effects from the wound, but as it
kept on getting worse the doctors
had to amputate the limb in order
to saw the lads life. The many
friends of Earnest in the city sincere
ly regret this accident and sympa-
thize with him in the ordeal, and all
are glad to hear that he is now get
ting along nicely and will probably
soon be able to be around again.
Sunday in Rawlins was a very
nice day and in consequence a fair
proportion Of Rawlinsites spent the
day in the country. Many went on
the train to Fort Steele. where they
spent the day fishing while many
more who had cars went to Saratoga
and Encampment. We are informed
that Sunday afternoon there were
"a autos from Rawlins in Saratoga
alone.

bers effected an entrance into the

ing a small piece of glass out Of the
back door and reaching a hand in
and opening the Yale lock which
held the door. They then entered
the store and took all the money
out of the cash register. which was
about SIS in change They then tried
the safe and finding the outside door
open they endeavored t o get the
inner door OPEN. They took a ham,
mer and broke the knob Of the door
off but could not open the door.

President Willard r. Jones of the
Pacific Short Line now ut Salt Lake
City. says that trains will be running
to O'Neill, Nebr., by July 10, that
point being 1870 miles west from
Souix City. He says hat after spend
ing $3OO,OOO in surveys 1t is now a
question whether Weber Canon is
not the most feasible route. He also
stated, according to a special to the
Denver Republican, that about one
mile In this canon the Short Line
would have to use the U. p. track,
and the company had been advised
thai this could be legally done. How
ever, the roads going into Ogden or
Salt Lake + depended on the peo-
pie. If the short line runs into Salt
Lake City it will cut through the
bench directly south and save nine
miles between this city and the
mouth of the canon Mr.. Jones said
that the outlook was never better
than now: all obstacles were re-
moved, all the departments of the
road were working nicely together,
and the rails were being steadily
laid on the west bound march.
Scullen and Stacey were stringing
their gangs along the line, where
grading would be started at feasible
points and pushed both ways. The

Last Sunday evening two train
loads OF eighteen cars each loaded
with young cattle from the south
were unloaded at the Rawlins stock
yards. On Monday morning the
third train Of eighteen cars arrived
and was %unloaded, making in all 81
cars. They were mostly yearlings
and were shipped from Texas and go
to the ranch of j. b. Ansley, on
Snake river in this county. A nov
of this kind shows hat stock men
have faith in the future of the stock
business in this country. Now is
evidently the time to buy cattle as
they have been at the lowest possible
notch for several years, and are just
beginning to raise. hence the next
few years is almost sure to prove a
profitable one to the cattle interests.
A week or ten days ago the market
across the ocean took a drop which
for a time somewhat affected the
prices in this country but they are
fast rallying again. Parties who had
engaged room on vessels for shipping
stock to England were feeling quite
sore for a few days, and 1t Is re-
ported that one firm offered a steam
ship company 100000 to cancel their
contract but the company refused to
do so. Now that prices are stiffen-
ing up again nothing will be lost in
shipping across h water.
The fire alarm late yesterday af-
ternoon drew the fire department

from an engine, and the damage was
confined to the feed rack. 1t was
soon put cut, but not before the rack
a a pretty bad wreck.
The discharge of thirty-1ve men
1t the shops yesterday afternoon was
rather unexpected and quite a sur
prise not only to those who lost their
places. but to their friends as we'll.
Some of the men we understand Will

ployment elsewhere. The move was
not caused by any fault OF the men
but merely to cut down the summer
force.
