Politics Warming.

Politics are warming. Judge p.
w. Metz announces himself as a
candidate for reelection to the dis
trict bench and is to be opposed
by H. G. Bronze, one of the promi-
nent attorneys of Basin, and a resi-
dent of Judge Metz's own town.
Owing to his illness and inca
pacity for service, Mrs. Jas. w.

territory. With his long residence
in the Basin, he has made many

able manner Unlike her husband

the Jeffersonian tribe. Mrs. Rous-
seau has always been an avowed
Republican, and in seeking nomi-
nation, does SO in the Republican
primary.

Interest in the Stampede con-
increases as the time draws near
for the big event of the year in
Buffalo Bills home town. All the
Old Guard as well as the new re-
cruits are making every effort to
see that the seventh annual is the

easy at the Stampede grounds and
enjoying the first alfalfa hay they
ever met up with. The stables are
filling up with horses being trained
for the flat races and the relay
strings will soon begin to come in.
Johnny Judd, champion trick OPP

consecutive a in this event at
Cheyenne, has been engaged to give
daily exhibitions of his skill. John

Earl Hayner is due to arrive on
